    This is why the school system is screwed up

    Schools are messed up because teachers have no authority and nor do the workers in there. If a student does something wrong, he'll most likely be punished with a warning, or a letter wrote to their parents, that now a days, won't give a damn and who knows defend their children instead of...

    Are there any laws that prevent me from drinking alcohol on the street?

    I think you can't be charged for intoxicated driving unless you're seen doing it though. If you just sit in the car, that's no proof that you did or will drive under influence.

    Road Rage

    Happened to me already. I had to drive away before he could reach me, glad that I was in a position I was able to drive, which doesn't always happen.

    I'm unsure about what you mean by this, can you explain further?

    Do cops have support groups?

    Yes, I'm pretty sure they have support groups they can go for psychological help. It is available for every cop, but I think some are even forced to take psychological help when they deal with certain situations. After all they have to ensure that they're capable.

    Who services police cars?

    I think it depends on the country but they either have specialized mechanics working for them or they use the brand's mechanics. One thing is for sure, they don't get anyone to do it as it's a responsibility.

    What is the first thing you do in the morning?

    I take a bath, drink a coffee, eat something when I'm hungry and turn on my computer so I can do some work. I usually go to supermarket afterwards, I prefer to buy things everyday rather than buying everything I'll need for a whole week on the weekend.

    physical aspect of the police academy compare to military basic training

    I guess the police academy is easier than the military, specially for people that want to follow a career in the military. Both are challenging but there's no comparison, in my opinion.

    Road Rage

    It's indeed unpredictable and the worst is that the ones who do something wrong are usually the ones raging the most. One thing I'm sure, I don't road rage at other drivers because I never know who's inside it and how they'll respond.

    Your Thoughts On Non-lethal Weapons

    Non lethal weapons are surely good for riot controls and such situations but I think they can be dangerous if misused too. There's a lot of discussion around this subject, I'm surprised it's only coming up as a thread now.

    What percentage of officers carry guns off duty?

    At countries like Portugal, police takes their gear home, so, I'm unsure about the USA but I guess all of the ones that have the option to carry it, do actually carry it as it's a matter of protection.

    Do police officers surf the net at work?

    I'm pretty sure they do when they're bored and have nothing else to do, now, when does that happen? I don't know if it's very often that they have free time to search the web.

    What would you do as President?

    I wouldn't be a president in first place because it's a terrible position to have in a country, specially now a days, but if I was to be one, I would try to balance economy and improve security, police, firefighters and all that. Give them proper training and working conditions.

    How can to make it cold in the car

    Recharging it isn't that expensive but if you can't afford it, I have bad news for you. Either buy a cooler and attach it to the inside, connected to the car energy, or open the windows all the way down. I don't have A.C. on my cars and I feel the heat everyday, even though France isn't that...

    Man jailed for being a good samaritan.

    Well, such situations happen as a police officer can't look at someone and know who he is, what his reaction will be and whether he's right or wrong. He has to do an approach and he'll do it as safely as he could for himself and the possible suspect as well.

    Preparing for pepper spray

    I say test it out first at home, following the tips given up there. If you do it before, you'll not only have more resistance to the spray, you'll also know what to expect and the best way to control your feelings at the moment. After all it's understandable why they do it. You have to know how...

    I'm worried about passing PT

    As long as you can run and have enough strength to handle the weight of your body, you'll probably be good.

    Are there any laws that prevent me from drinking alcohol on the street?

    I think you can, yes. If you don't show any intent to drive though, else, it might become a problem. Why I said this? Because at a Party for example, you come out with drinks and drink outside in the public so as long as you don't get drunk, you should be good.

    What to do when you witness domestic violence?

    That was definitely dangerous for you. If the area was quiet he could have used the weapon to refrain you from defending yourself and hurt you pretty bad, although I understand your instinct. I guess I would do the same if I saw the woman was being beaten up badly and not being able to respond back.
