I never heard about that! If it had been me, honestly, I would have made the same mistake she did. I would have assumed that kind of distance would have kept me safe.

If I'm not mistaken it was legal in Utah up until a few years ago, (but you might not want to quote me on that without checking). Death row inmates could choose it for their execution. It wasn't a very popular choice, though. Honestly, though, I would prefer that over any of the other options...

Since the police have been getting all this bad press concerning murdering unarmed people, even though that's just a handful of bad cops and not the majority, have you seen a drastic change in how people react to you? I'm not going to lie to you. The blatant racism has made it so that when I got...

Laws I don't agree with was a major deterrent when figuring out what I wanted to be when i grew up. It wasn't the only deterrent, but definitely one of them. I've seen with my own eyes that they are given a lot of opportunity to use their own discretion. If they have to do things they don't...

I used to give the system the benefit of the doubt. The fact is cops, judges, and juries (not lawyers so much though) are human beings- prone to making errors; raised with certain biases and beliefs. But it seems anymore that judges and politicians are mostly people with money who cater to...

This isn't anything new. It's been going on for decades. You can't blame just one president or even one congress. As far as President Obama not following the constitution congress won't let him. It's the only way anything will get done. Congress has done nothing this entire time but try to...

My car broke down on the side of the road. Officer Starks pulled up to see what was wrong. He asked for my license and I told him straight out,"it's expired and has been for a while". He checked it and it had been expired for 5 yrs. once I got the car started he followed me and let me pull into...

The police need to make a point of letting the community know that all the bad press they're getting isn't the norm. The media isn't reporting on all the good the police are doing. Their entire focus is on the bad cops who kill unarmed men. I'm not saying they should publicly hang and flog the...

It seems you are hearing more and more about people getting caught because of doing dumb things like this, or posting a selfie of them committing the crime. I bet police are loving it!! Lol

I've read about other cases where the woman had told her family and friends that she was pregnant when she wasn't. She faked going through the entire pregnancy and then, when it came down to delivery time, she either had to fess up or find a baby, any baby, to show everyone. It's some really...

I posted in "general discussions" about an article I read recently. It says less people are wanting to join the force so the force is lowering its standards for new recruits. As a police officer, going out and risking your life day in and day out, I can only assume the person or people who have...

I use a house phone. I'm not sure of the brand, but it is cordless. I mam one of the few left who enjoys not getting phone calls all the time, regardless of where I am or what I'm doing. You see all these people now a days who are constant staring at a phone that never leaves their hand. I...

I read an article that said less and less people are joining the force. I'm curious, why do you think that is? Could be the bad press a few bad apples are giving the police as a whole? Or do you think it could be because of the increase in violent crimes as a whole are scaring people... Making...

I would like to hear everyone's opinion on this... Is our legal system, as a whole, more just or unjust? Do you believe it has become too often that an innocent man is convicted or a guilty man goes free? Do you still have faith that if you are innocent you have nothing to worry about? Or do you...

Honestly, I don't WANT to. My feet are firmly planted in a science foundation. But there are so many stories and so much evidence that I don't see how anyone can logically deny it. Not to mention my own questionable experiences. I'm not going to say it WAS ghosts, but I can't deny the possibility.

I would love to meet my paternal grandmother. She died two days after giving birth to my father. I have heard my dad repeat stories he had heard, and I've seen pictures. But I would give anything to be able to meet her and get to know her. As well as tell her about her great grandchildren and...

Not to mention I have already begun learning sign language.

I had rather be deaf. I rely on my eyes a lot more than my ears. When i walk into a situation I imediately assess my surroundings visually. I prefer to assess the entire room in one quick glance rather than taking so much longer to listen to everything going on.

I know what my own personal preferences are, but I believe everyone else is entitled to decide for themselves. I can't decide what someone else shod believe in based on my religious convictions or my own personal mistakes and experiences. Except for my children. I have every right to dictate...

There are going to be some cases that fall through the cracks when communication between different state police, or even city police forces, have to communicate with each other. There are A LOT of different police forces out there. And typically the bad guy isn't going to volunteer the...
