I don't think there would be a one answer applies to all for this question, but I agree with KittyWorkers comment.

About six months ago when a person or persons the police were in pursuit of on foot ran through my back yard and supposedly threw a bag with a lot of weed and a gun in the yard as they jumped the fence.

Not something that ever crossed my mind but I think if pulled over and you start offering stuff, that would be a red flag that you are guilty of something and attempting to distract from it.

Yes, I have been in fights but I have never been the one to throw the first punch..swing..kick..etc

Police can enter without a warrant or permission in order to arrest or apprehend someone when they have reasonable grounds to believe that they need to enter in order to prevent someone inside from being seriously injured or killed, or there is evidence in your home that relates to a serious...

I think it is human nature to Judge and when there are a few "bad apples" in the bunch we can be inclined to Judge the basket of apples negatively. To not Jude until you have walked in another shoes or have done the Job they do is a great way to go in theory, but I doubt any of us can do that...

Well I guess that could be seen as bad luck or good luck, she didn't have to worry about getting back to the city and had a free place to sleep for the night! I see the local prostitutes flagging down cars in parking lots of places like the local convenience store and gas station, I never...

I agree! They both made themselves look like jackass's. very unprofessional and a great way to lower public and colleague opinion of your respectability and credibility.

I think defending one self would be a normal reaction no matter who it was but I can see where it could be difficult to win a case against a police officer on grounds of self defense. I have a friend who won his case but in his case the officer had previous incidents of excessive use of...

No, not at all. I do however become nervous when there is police vehicle driving behind me, I tend to try to jeep my speed at the EXACT limit and do a "one Mississippi, two Mississippi,, three Mississippi" at stop signs even where the intersection is clear as well as at red lights where a right...

I stole food, mom was to busy gambling to buy anything to leave us while she was gone so I would ask people for change so I could buy at least one item, like a lemon or a lime and would take a couple of bananas from a bunch and put them in my sweatshirt front pocket and then two rolls or bagels...

This is very much the opposite of mine! I want to loss the habit of having second thoughts and feeling guilty after brushing people off. I want to be less attentive to those who are just sucking up time needlessly and stop always giving people the benefit of the doubt..over & over again!

I am curious now as to what the answer is regarding someone breaking into your home, in NY you can not just spray someone because you feel they are a threat or because you are scared. They have to actually be using physical force before you can spray them in defense. Pepper spray can only...

I don't know, I think unconcealed would be a great deterrent to anyone looking to rob you or commit a crime against you! Like a warning sign!

I don't know if its a good idea. I think it would make school's seem like Jails from the students perspective. The results of a study done in 2012 was that armed guards made students feel LESS safe and had detrimental effects on students. It may be a way to increase security but it could result...
