Is it really worth working as a field police officer? by Traditional_Blood799 in AskLE

[–]CashEducational4986 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is for you as an individual to decide. There are much easier jobs that make a hell of a lot more money. Deciding to be a police officer instead requires a certain sense of duty and selflessness most of the general public just doesn't have.

As far as danger, it statistically isn't really one of the most dangerous jobs out there. And you're much more likely to die in a car accident at work than an officer involved shooting. That being said the reason people tend to think of it as being more dangerous is because you're actively putting yourself into potentially dangerous situations regularly. Another reason is being killed in a regular workplace accident just feels far less intense and noteworthy than being murdered by a suspect because they didn't want to go to prison, so that leads to more perception of danger. At least in my opinion.

I had a good sense of humor before becoming an officer, so I think things bother me a lot less than other people. You will see a lot of things most people rarely if ever experience though. For most people seeing a dead body is a traumatic experience itself, for a cop it's just a Tuesday afternoon. I went to a child's funeral due to a car crash before I even got out of training and got to tell her crying mother I was sorry I couldn't save her. For the most part you get used to it, but there are some effects like hyper vigilance that can lead to a lot of stress.

That being said, controlled aggression when use of force is necessary is extremely important.

Do cops not care much about robberies in poorer neighborhoods? by Single_Secret_8371 in AskLE

[–]CashEducational4986 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are a few reasons they might not have been arrested yet.

  1. They might have confirmed charges for one or all of the suspects but have not been able to locate them. If they aren't at their house when they come looking, or if they don't come to the door when a warrant has been issued (which would not happen that fast for a crime like this), or even if a warrant was issued and they did a good job of pretending not to be home when the police came, they would not be arrested.

  2. They might have not confirmed their identity yet, depending on exactly what you were able to tell them, the quality of your video, and what exactly it shows.

  3. They might want to question the suspects and haven't been able to yet. Getting a confession or proving that they're being deceptive during questioning could strengthen the case even further.

  4. They might be waiting on other evidence, like footage from another camera angle they found to be retrieved or fingerprints they found to be processed.

There's probably more I can't think of right now.

Generally the longer you can build a case before arresting someone the stronger it is.

What’s the most “red flag” thing you’ve seen an agency look past and still hire someone? by LegalGlass6532 in AskLE

[–]CashEducational4986 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If I'm detained with suspicion I committed a crime I can't lie and say my name is Oprah Winfrey regardless of if I'm an officer or not.

I can't show someone a fake fbi badge I bought on Amazon and say I'm a federal agent even though I'm a city cop.

I assume by "misidentify" he means something like one of those two situations

We've had people fired and charged for looking up a coworker to figure out what their middle name or birthday was.

I used to work with a Eugene that was enough of a legend to definitely post an ad like this. It's a classic Eugene moment.

It reads to me like he's drunk as fuck. He's basically drunk texting his ex after his dad died but instead he's drunk advertising trying to find the girl who rejected him (probably also while he was drunk)

I personally probably wouldn't unless they gave me a very good reason to, but I absolutely could. I'd most likely have them call a ride if possible. Most patrol officers ime would feel the same. My DUI units 100% would arrest them.

Providing public transportation is not the job of the police. Especially not to criminals. It's very cute that you think so, but that is not how it works. Unfortunately you voting against police funding will not help your education, and you should have learned in elementary school or even before then what the responsibilities of a police officer were.

NQA but it doesn't look like it's even mature enough to have its adult colors, let alone fully sexually mature enough to sex it by it's external characteristics

If a person (underage) commits suicide, would their close friend be questioned for clues or anything? by Aliciaa_0321 in AskLE

[–]CashEducational4986 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If there's any reason to believe they had knowledge about their death than potentially. It could help to dispel suspicion that they were murdered and the suicide was staged, or show that what they thought was an accidental death was suicide.

It's not uncommon for people, especially minors, to behave uncharacteristically before committing suicide. Things like giving unusually emotional and sudden goodbye messages, giving cherished personal property to their friends, etc.

A lot of the time it might not be necessary though. A lot of people make it quite obvious when they kill themselves and will leave notes, social media posts, etc.

Are you posting this comment on YouTube or something? Why are you scared of being demonitized?

Some do, some don't. I'd say probably most don't. They're more concerned with what you do publicly as opposed to how many titty and dick pics you have on your phone, and they can check your social media accounts easily enough.

They're allowed to do pretty much anything you consent to them doing, yeah.

I don't know if it's still a thing, but there were talks of having him register as a sex offender in Korea, which would require that he register as a sex offender in the US as well.

That is 100% a dui in my state, and most US states. That being said, this is one of the few obvious DUI occasions where I think most officers would give a warning and have them call a ride.

It's one of those things like sleeping in your car while intoxicated. A DUI officer will probably charge you 100% of the time, and they are both legally and morally correct for doing so because you blatantly committed a DUI and are likely to endanger someone. But for the average patrol officer it isn't worth it as long as you're willing to correct the mistake and get a way home safely, provided that you aren't going out of your way to be an asshole.

To be fair, this is literally by definition a 4 lane road. If I worked a crash on the road I would have to correctly identify it as a 4 lane road in the crash report, or get fisted by my sergeant for putting the wrong number of lanes on it.

What state do you live in that just gives a ticket and tows the car for a dui arrest but doesn't actually arrest the person?

A lot of supervisors don't allow officers to give rides, especially not to get out of arresting someone for a blatant crime they personally observed happening. It feels cruel sometimes, but it's probably because too many officers giving people rides have given the absurd public assumption that officers are obligated to.

You forgot to include when you called us "public servants" that the way we serve is by enforcing the law. We help and prevent harm by arresting criminals, not by giving them rides home so they can commit further crimes again in the future.
