    How can I keep the peace? Why would I need to move?

    My husband was with me when I turned myself in, but he wasn't with me when I was taken back to do paper work. I really wish I could remember--I was VERY UPSET and often when my mind is bouncing around during stress, memory is a bit dull. I was never in cuffs, the rocogg was issued before I...

    SHould Women Be Armed?

    I am one to say "hopefully I will never be in that situation," but unfortunately you cannot control/read others. My husband wants me to learn how to use and shoot a gun, and I keep backing away from his suggestion. However, the more I see/hear, the more I cower to his idea--especially since I...

    How can I keep the peace? Why would I need to move?

    This is much how I feel about it. I have lived in a handful of places (on my own) and even with my dogs, never had neighbor problems. If my dogs were doing things they were not supposed to (like jumping the fence to chase squirrels and tearing into garbage) we found ways to fix our fencing and...

    How can I keep the peace? Why would I need to move?

    I appreciate your offer <3 but I would never want someone to defend me with such risks. However, I dunno about jail? To be honest, the judge and prosecutor seemed as if they would rather us "duke it out in the street" than to call an officer out, or to bring the pettiness to court. The attorney...

    How can I keep the peace? Why would I need to move?

    This is something I am having to come to terms with. Although I am sure we would have no problems at this point with our neighbors if their dogs were not caught destroying my property, it is the fact that they are trying to push our buttons, bully us, and make us feel unwanted in our own home...

    How can I keep the peace? Why would I need to move?

    "If you cannot afford your own attorney, you may represent yourself." This was stated from the judge during my plea date on Feb 24th. The prosecutor never spoke to me until both parties were present to give a hearing last week (March 24th). Seriously could not afford one though. At the time I...

    How can I keep the peace? Why would I need to move?

    Thanks! I hope things get better too, or that since the hubs and I are both working again, we can move by the end of the school year. Like I told Gabe, I don't recall being offered a public defender, but at this point I am assuming that is what a "County Prosecutor" is (I am new to all this...

    How can I keep the peace? Why would I need to move?

    I have tried this with the man (he offered me a joint but I declined), but the woman of the house seems to be where a lot of the problems are--she is the one that talks down and makes things up. At the same time, the man seems wishy washy. He says one thing one day, and then says/does another...

    How can I keep the peace? Why would I need to move?

    This is what they are trying to make it out to be. Sadly, we are the only neighbors for about a quarter mile in each direction (us and them). These neighbors have had lots of problems with other neighbors in the past. They have been kicked from a few low income projects because of their...

    How can I keep the peace? Why would I need to move?

    I was told that I could have an Attorney or to defend myself when we entered the plea date last month. I was not offered anything when I turned myself in and the judge recogged my arrest. Like I said, they didn't want to deal with the case, the judge and county prosecutor wanted charges from...

    How can I keep the peace? Why would I need to move?

    You are quite right. As soon as this school year is over with I will be doing my best to move, even if it means a new county. It seems as though my neighbors have been in so much trouble that the system knows exactly how they are and are just trying to keep the neighbors from getting to carried...

    How can I keep the peace? Why would I need to move?

    I have mentioned in a previous thread about my unruly-well-known troublesome-neighbors. Despite my efforts to keep the peace and ignore their dogs destroying my property, I did end up pressing charges against them for disturbing the peace--I had an officer talk to them about the manner a few...

    Man Calls 911 To Report Wife Stole His Cocaine

    Too funny if you ask me. He must have been really upset. Just another proof to what certain drugs can do to your mind. He deserved to be arrested. The drug was illegal and trying to press charges on his wife for stealing something of his? Wow...

    Quotas?

    Usually at the end/first of every month. These are the days that you would drive to work (especially on busy roads with constant/steady usual speedsters and high traffic volumes) and you would see at least 4 different posted cops on your way to work, and cops in different locations along the...

    Do you believe your local police earn their paychecks?

    This to me is a sensitive question and ultimately broils down to how much effort an officer puts into his/her job individually. Like any other workforce, you have some that over achieve, some that are acceptable achievers, and then the ones who rely on others to do their jobs while they collect...
