    Accident investigations

    I was just driving home from the grocery store and saw a huge police presence up the road and I was stuck in a huge traffic jam where there usually aren't any, except for during the evening commute times. When I finally got to pass the accident I saw that a roll off truck had hit the overpass...

    Do you feel unsafe as a woman?

    It is legal to carry a concealed weapon here, but I have not yet gone to get one. I can't carry a gun at work, and could get fired for doing so, and there is really not much point carrying one elsewhere because I am with my fiance when we go out for a night out. I honestly would be afraid to...

    The F.B.I. does racial profiling, but do local police?

    People always have been and always will be guilty of profiling I think, whether they care to admit it or not. I am not sure what could be done to eliminate all profiling. The police are just as guilty of it as anyone else.

    Personal opinion on marijuana?

    It is legal in my state, but federal law still makes it illegal everywhere, so the feds could still bust you if they chose, no matter what the state says is legal. I do not have a bad opinion on marijuana as it has many medicinal purposes. I personally can't stand the way it smells, but if...

    Do you feel unsafe as a woman?

    I do feel a little scared sometimes being a women in certain situations. If I am walking down the street in the middle of the city or at night there is a much higher chance that something bad is going to happen to me than if I was a man. I like being a woman and that will never change though.

    Would you rather go to jail for a year or live in your car for a year?

    It would be the car for me. At least if I was living in my car I would still have freedom to come and go as I please. I would even be able to still drive around and look at beautiful scenery. In jail all of your freedoms are taken away.

    Disgusted with the News

    I rarely ever watch the news anymore because I do not want the media to get my ratings for bad broadcasts. More often then not, I go online to my favorite news stations and can pick and choose the articles/videos that I look at. It makes my world such a better place. In all honesty though, "if...

    In addition to the sex talk

    I have had the police talk with both of my kids numerous times, it is the other kind of talk you mentioned that I am having a really hard time trying to start with them. Luckilly my daughter has a health class at school and they cover some of that stuff. Both of my kids know that the police are...

    Do Police Guidelines Endorse Lethal Force as First Response?

    I think there has to be a reason to believe there is "imenent danger" if a police officer is going to use lethal force as a first line of defense. Perhaps maybe the suspect implies that he or she is armed, or the officer thinks that he or she is hiding a gun? It really is a judgement call on the...

    What happens to pedophiles, sex offenders and child molestors in prison?

    Sounds like you are very lucky that relationship did not work out! Many times the prisons will segregate the sex offender inmates because they enter prison with a target on their backs. The child molesters are even looked at as trash in the prison system.

    Why do people hate the police?

    I think that many people are intimidated by police, and use the word hate as the description of their intimidation. The police have the power to take your freedom away, and some people have had bad experiences with them. You just have to hope and pray that the legal system works as it should. I...

    Jodi Arias will not get the death penalty

    I think Jodi Arias only said death would be the ultimate freedom to manipulate people because she is like that. Had she gotten the death penalty and actually had to go to the chamber, I am sure she would fight it to the end. At least she will spend the rest of her life in prison and we can all...

    Your cell phone could be subpoena'd

    I have mixed feelings about filming police interactions. On the one hand, if there is some misconduct by the police officer, then there is a record of it and that is a good thing. On the other hand, if someone is just filming to be nosy or for no good reason, then they should stay out of it and...

    Is it a crime to lie to the police?

    It is very much illegal to lie to a police officer. The law is worded something like "hindering a police investigation" or something like that depending on where you are. It is best to always tell the truth and hope you do not get in trouble for doing so. Most of the time the officer will be...

    Is It Illegal To Record When "Dealing" With Them?"

    I don't think there is anything necessary illegal about filming the event because each of us in America has the right to free speech, but do you really want to make an officer mad when you are in trouble for something or have been pulled over? It just seems to me that the police officer would...

    What's your favorite vacation destination?

    I live near many beaches, so they are nice places to go during the summer for day trips and the like. It is hard to go on vacation sometimes when you have limited funds. We have to plan out our vacations well in advance and save up the money to go. I am hoping to get up to Alaska in the next...

    Jodi Arias will not get the death penalty

    I am sure that she did not receive a completely fair trial due to the media coverage surrounding this case. It was national news and you have to be really out of touch not to have known any information surrounding the case. The problem is that I like to read and study these cases, but it helps...

    Are police shows like "Cops" authentic?

    Well, I have been on a ride along before in a major city and was bored to tears most of the trip. Most of the time, they do not get the hilarious and plot twisting calls that are featured on the shows. My guess is that the camera men have to ride along for several days to get enough footage for...

    What do you think is a healthy snack with coffee?

    I usually go with peanut butter toast or a granola bar. I am not much for very sweet things in the morning, such as doughnuts, unless I am really in the mood for them. Scrambled eggs with salsa is also a good choice and it gives you protein.

    Do you take anything for stress or anxiety?

    I tend to get stressed out and worked up easy and I know that I do it to myself. When I am engrossed in a hobby, or I am able to take my mind of things, I feel so much better. I am always worried about something and have always been this way. I really have to keep myself from doing it.
