Ask A Cop!!! Post Your Questions Here!

[TJcop]

Ok people...time to get this thread back on track!!! Too much serious talk going on here...We have to show everyone that we have a sense of humor, and are approachable!
After all, we're human too...right?...oh wait, we come from another planet...

I do find it funny that a number of you have had multiple citations within a short amount of time. Now...I've had 5 citations in my driving career...all between the ages of 16-18. I finally figured out how to drive, and I haven't been cited since. I must qualify that by also mentioning that I've been stopped twice since then, but never cited. And the last thing I thought of after being stopped what hauling ace...I was too scared!
Great questions so far! Keep 'em coming!

I've got a feeling that the 9th Circuit judges have some sort contest going as to who can come up with the most bizarre ruling ever. Some of their opinions make you wonder if they're doing drugs while on the bench.

That is why it is known as the "Ninth Circus" Court of Appeals!

What is absolutely the funniest thing you have run into while on duty? I mean from us common folk.

Thanks for the reply. Since the 1 drink an hour metabolism is not a good rule to plan a social outing on, how long would you recommend waiting before driving after 2 drinks within 1 hour and no alcohol afterwards. I don't mean to be a pain or nit picky about it. I just want to be sure I am being safe when I do go out for a lunch that includes a drink or two.

BTW you guys/ladies do a great job.

Thanks

If you go out for a lunch and only have a couple of drinks you are probably good to go. Again depending on the person you might be as high as a .04 but thats probably on the high side. Please dont take this as true legal advice however. This is just my personall opinion.

I've actually gotten more citations since I've been a cop than I did before. I think I've had 3? in the last 10 years.

I once had a drunk, after he threatened to kill my family and told me I looked like Hitler, inform me "that on the count of 3 he was going to get spiritual on my *****" It was extremely funny at the time.

Had a drunk girl when we asked her to describe the tatoo she had told us she had, she elected to strip completly naked so we could see it ourselfs. Trust me, it was a sight I could have gone my whole life with out seeing. Between that and all the other stuff she kept doing, that trully had to be the funniest DUI I had ever had.

I had a guy actually start barking in court. Needless to say, I won that case.

I got set up by my own guys one night, when we got called to a crazy guys house. They had apparently been there a lot, and chose not to tell me. So when I get there the guy is complaining that his nieghber is trying to kill him by beaming radio waves into his house. He was mad because the tin foil hat and rubber padding around his bed, that my guys had told him to put up wasnt working. Needless to say the other two officers we laughing like crazy while I stood there trying to figure out what to say.
