    Do You Arrest Off-duty Cops For Infractions?

    I'd like to think that cops wouldn't be breaking the law in the first place but I don't live on Cloud Cuckoo Land! I can imagine any officer that did turn in a colleague would have a hard time at work thereafter so this would discourage them from doing so, even if they wanted to. It takes a lot...

    There has been one fatality and at least eight injuries after a shoot-out situation in a Walmat parking lot in Cottonwood, AZ. Amongst the injured was a 31 year old police officer who received a bullet to the leg. According to reports, a family of eight begain harassing a female store employee...

    Police Departments Hiring Immigrants As Police Officers

    I really don't think there's any danger of them hiring illegal immigrants. After all, they'd be rigorously checked on application. I feel sure that nobody without the right to work in this country and a clear background check would be hired.

    How do you like to be spoken too?

    I sincerely hope that any cop would want to be spoken to politely and informally. There is something very wrong in having officers who demand to be spoken to as an authority figure. Cops actually serve the public, not the other way around and should be accessible and approachable, not unfriendly...

    Less police officers???

    In my country, there are less cops because the police forces have had their budgets cut. They now have less money to spend on staffing and as a result, are recruiting less.

    Cops Assault and Arrest Woman Who Requested Them To Teach Kids Lesson

    She did go the wrong way about things. I would have called the non-emergency line and asked to bring the boy in for a good talking to. Still, it doesn't excuse the behavior of these cops at all. What's more, I bet they got away with it scot free.

    Quality vs quantity

    Sometimes just a police presence is enough to keep people in line. We don't know anything about the attitude of these cops, we just know that they are there. This is enough to make us cautious. I agree that their attitudes towards the public may vary though and it could also be a risky move to...

    Which phone do you use?

    I'm still using a Sony Xperia Tipo. It's at least 2 years old but it does everything I need it to. It still works as well as it did when I bought it and I see no need toreplace it unti it stops working. The camera is good, the battery life is OK and it connects to wifi. Don't need it to do...

    Naked Man In Doorway Is Not Breaking Law, Police Say

    I reckon he stands there out of spite. He knows he is entitled to do this and also knows how much it annoys people. He's just doing it to shock and wind people up. I really don't think there's anything sexual behind this. To be honest, I'm not sure what the problem is. It's a penis for crying...

    Are cops going after stolen phones at all?

    In the great scheme of things, other crimes are prioritized over mobile phone theft. Police departments just don't have the resources to follow up all reported crimes these days and some things have to take precedence. Also, I wonder if there is an assumption being made that "stolen" phones...

    What can we do to make 2015 a better year for police and community relations?

    In my opinion, responsibility lies firmly with the police departments. Recent actions by poiice officers all across the country have done nothing but increase the sense of mistrust the public has in them. We need to see officers facing the consequences of their actions and we need to see a...

    Are You In Favor Of Pre-Marital Sex?

    I'm all for it! After all, you wouldn't buy a car without taking it for a test drive would you? It's such an important part of relationships so you really need to work out if you are compatible in that department before you decide to get married. Otherwise, you risk leading a life which is, in...

    Craigslist baby snatch

    Reading this article, it looks as though the attacker had let her husband think she was pregnant. Maybe it was a last-ditch effort to get him to stay, who knows? She clearly needs to be placed in an institution. I only hope the poor woman who was attacked is able to rebuild her life at some...

    Just or unjust?

    It certainly seems as though a different set of laws apply to those in positions of power. Personally, I have no faith in the justice system whatsoever and suspect there to be much corruption within. The innocent have plenty to worry about, not least getting shot by the police!

    The end of IE

    That's how I understood it too. It's just a rebrand to try and move away from the poor image that IE has developed. I have heard that the functionality is much improved so would be willing to give it a try.

    Favorite movie

    Shawshank Redemption is a favorite of mine too - I never realized it was so popular. Other favorites include The Silence of the Lambs, Full Metal Jacket and Apocalypse Now.

    Would you do it?

    Personally, I would forego the ticket but make sure they understood that they were lucky it was me who caught them and not someone else. Hopefully, an incident like this would shock them into changing but I wouldn't hesitate to issue a ticket if I caught them a second time.

    Wisconsin police officer kills suspect on first day back after previous shooting

    I am amazed that he was allowed back on duty just 10 days after shooting someone else! He's clearly been affected by the experience, to the point where he's panicked and gor defensive. To be honest, I'm not sure if he should be allowed back on duty, certainly not without some king of psychiatric...

    Vitamins are garbage

    I'm not convinced that all vitamins are garbage. It's certainly true that many supplements do not contain the nutrients that they claim to, but a good general multi-vitamin and mineral supplement is beneficial to most people. There is little difference between the more expensive branded...
