Do you find DUI check points during the holiday season to be costly and unnecessary, or do you find this to reduce the possibility of accidents?

Do you still own a camera? Or do you only have the one on your phone? I love to take pictures and used to scrapbook often. Even with the new phones, I still use my digital camera. But I do not really see many people still using real cameras. Do you?

The Peterson case is extremely interesting when you know the area. The were multiple pregnant women who washed up on shore relatively close to Lacey. The reason she got the publicity? She was white/middle class and the others were minorities. there are people who live in the Modesto area that...

How much do you think the media sways your view? If you see something, do you then research and investigate it, or do you just read headlines? Do you think just reading the headlines prevents you from having an objective opinion?

What is in the water in Florida? Last year a naked man was riding a bicycle and biting people, and this year a guy is setting off fire crackers inside Walmart. This moron was caught on camera placing a firecracker on the bottom shelf then walking away. After he was caught, he told police some...

I was freaked. In one of my books I wrote about a true story where I buried my friend's dog. Years later, my nephew and his friend somehow found the bones of the dog. They thought they were sticks and were playing air guitar. When I told them the truth, the two 8 yr olds threw them down and...

Rhoda D'Ettore is my pen name I use to publish my ebooks, paperbacks and audiobooks. It is a combination of my sister's name and my mom's maiden name. Together is sounds like: "Road A. Detour" so I thought people would remember it.

It is illegal to tie up emergency services for non-emergency reasons. By calling into 911 for trivial matters, you could be preventing someone else from getting help. I remember reading a few years ago that Texas tried to charge a prank caller with involuntary manslaughter when someone died due...

A drug dealer in China fell asleep at the wheel of his $150,000 Porsche SUV.. which not only was filled with cocaine, but slammed into the back of a tractor trailer... dragging the SUV for six miles! He was on the way with the coke to meet his connection. Stupid.

A Florida man called 911 several times, and eventually asked the dispatcher for a date. He also said he wanted help to get off alcohol and refused to go back to his last rehab because it was "like jail". Well.... guess what? He's in a real jail now! STUPID people!

There are two advantages to parole: 1.) It alleviates the prison overcrowding problem 2.) It allows us to determine if the criminal will return to a life of crime while allowing law enforcement to watch him closely because parolees have less rights (example, no warrant is needed to search his...

This Christmas will mark the 18 year anniversary of Jon Benet Ramsey's horrible murder. The family suffered extreme scrutiny over the years, the mother died under the microscope, and there are still nothing but questions. It was recently released the Ramseys were indicted by a grand jury, but...

I did say it would be funny if there was not a stabbing. I mean, seriously, think about a guy who thinks he is cool, carting around his girlfriend. Then comes out of the store, and without warning, sees his wife and girlfriend pulling each other's hair and fighting. He was confused as to which...

Mary Beth Tinning will be up for parole in January, her fifth parole hearing thus far. She was convicted of killing her 4 mo old baby. She was never charged in killing her other seven children---including an adopted son. Over 14 yrs, this woman systematically killed her children. The doctors...

I actually saw it on Autopsy on HBO which forensic pathologist Michael Baden.. a well respected crime fighter! If you can find it on youtube, there is a video of the man running right into the glass door from the bank camera.

It is human nature to cause war and be violent. There is no way for peace. Name a point in history where there was not some kind of war going on? From way back in the Bible Cain & Abel engaged in violence. It is also human nature to want what we don't have. Again, that is even proven with Eve...

My father was an officer, but he worked long hours. He was killed off duty when I was very young. It certainly does take a toll on the family--you must have a spouse who is willing to understand the shifts and the uncertainty he might not return home. As far as pay, it is okay, but depends on...

Those cases remain open because no one has been convicted. They eventually go into a cold case file which can be opened if new witnesses or evidence come forward. Periodically, some detectives will go over cold cases to view it with fresh eyes.

This is a state law, therefore it will defer. I believe most states are 4-5 years after the 18th birthday. The only exception is that some people have repressed memories. So say you are 25 and you suddenly start having nightmares. You can talk to the lawyers/prosecutors/police about pressing...

Did you know lip prints are as unique as finger prints? A female bank robber took the money and ran so fast out the door, she banged right into the glass, leaving a perfect lipstick imprint of her lips. It turned out a tip identified the robber as a man who dressed as a woman for the bank...
