Indeed, once you give protesters what they want, they will cease the protesting. It's that simple.

I don't know how it became a crime in the first place. Well, it is legal in some places. I think what should be illegal about it is when under-aged young ladies/and men engage in prostitution. But, for centuries now, people have always wanted sex and were willing to pay money for it. Even if it...

I believe so too. I think it would be better to go to a detox facility. After the detox, one should be admitted for Rehab.

It's normal. Not all the cops would have been on duty at the time when permission was asked at the police station for the keeping of the event. Once there is an even in the community of that magnitude, the cops at the station have to give permission for it. But not all the cops will be aware of it.

We have some really demented people out there. It's amazing the thoughts and the imaginations that come to the mind. That guy obviously had nothing better to do with his time. The weirdest arrest I have seen is where the guy disarms the police and runs off, only to be cornered by a barrage of...

Indeed, you couldn't have said it better. Co-operation is the key most times. Even when somehow holds you up to rob you, co-operation may be what saves you. In a situation where they want to rape you, that's a different story however. Police have higher authority that ordinary citizens don't...

The answers to these questions are circumstantial. I don't think you should talk unless necessary. But I believe in being polite and greeting your officers. Maybe your charm will get you out of trouble. However, if you know that you are not guilty, then you have nothing to worry about...

Indeed, we would get recordings of on the spot criminal activities that cops get called to. It benefits the cops and the criminal justice system. Cops would be less inclined to make stupid moves when they know that they are being watched.

I agree with you. Recently a watched a video that a normal civilian took from a roof's vantage point wherein a cop suddenly came out of the police station, shot a man, and quickly slipped back in. If the person wasn't videoing this, the cop would have probably gotten away. Usually cops don't...

Wow, and then again, you could exhaust yourself in searching these databases and still your brother is not in the country or is deliberately in hiding. Who knows where he is? Not to be negative, but he could even be dead. I think the best thing to do is a public announcement using the media...

Indeed. Think about it: if the child was actually under your roof and being abused, wouldn't you have called the cops? Then again, we have to understand your definition of abuse. Is it beating or spanking...which may not be illegal in some countries? Some countries follow the strict rule of...

In my country, they allow us to call and not state our names. They even give us a special line for anonymous calls. I think all countries should do that.

Well, I assume that you are not the only neighbour who knows about this abusive situation in the area. I would encourage you to call the cops indeed. It's a risk, but at least you are saving a life. And that child will be grateful to you for a lifetime. :)

I definitely agree with you that personal discretion is the main factor here. I know this "product" is illegal in many countries including Canada (unless prescribed by a doctor). I do wonder however, why is it that they have made possession of this product illegal when it has so many medicinal...

Health is definitely a pivotal factor. Without it, the relationship cannot continue. Why get yourself passionately tied to someone you know you can lose anytime soon? You would be looking for a sudden heart-break
