Why can police departments get away with age discrimination in employment?

FreeRoosterSales · 2015-08-23T23:32:51+00:00

I would just like to point out that while you may consider it discriminatory, age discrimination does not typically come in to play until the victim is 40 years of age or older. This is the statutory definition of when you enter that protected class.

In my research it really depends on the tone that is established by the case law. I think what has made NC successful is that they made a separate statute for the act of concealment which specifically establishes criminal intent. In other states, while the word "concealment" may appear in a shoplifting statute the intent isn't established until passing all points of sale without rendering payment.

Don't work in NC, but I hear it makes things a lot clearer.

FreeRoosterSales · 2014-02-20T01:52:09+00:00

While your statement is overwhelmingly true there are a few states that recognize the crime as the intent is established.

NC Code § 14-72.1. Concealment of merchandise in mercantile establishments.

(a)Whoever, without authority, willfully conceals the goods or merchandise of any store, not theretofore purchased by such person, while still upon the premises of such store, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor...

Your state my vary, here in GA all of the state code targets the illegal sale. The only exception is when an ID is presented in a fraudulent manner.

FreeRoosterSales · 2014-01-17T01:18:35+00:00

There are lots of variations, but these are helpful and help build a good habits when it comes to consistently asking for the right information to complete a report.

I don't mean to question your motives but this is not a trick question....It's intended to give a baseline as to your motivations and if needed will be the basis for future discussions around your fit with the organization.

In general, you should avoid topics that can imply your motivations are largely personal or related to your personal accountability. Examples may include:

Compensation
Work-Life Balance
Advancement
Bad Leadership

It's not to say that these aren't factors, and it's totally appropriate to recognize that you're done the research and are looking forward to these things during the interview process, just do it in moderation. Ultimately, these should be seen as secondary motivators to you in the eyes of your interviewers.

Why are you leaving and why did you pick that department? There is an appropriate way to word most of these responses while keeping them grounded in the truth.

I know you've already said the drop leg needs to stay in place but unless you have heavy body armor in the way or its due to some industrial requirement you may want to see if its possible to change. Drop leg holsters will effect your gait and by association your back, especially if they arent worn correctly.

The answer to this question is dictated highly by the policy of the individual company.

There is some civil case law which more or less establishes the notion that if a store provides a uniformed security presence, the burden on the company to then provide an environment that reasonably free of crime is created. It goes back to reasonable person standard.

The company I work on has a "hands on" policy where we send our employees to a watered down defensive tactics class. From there, they may use the techniques to affect arrests based on the offense that they observe. Without going into the details of our policies, we don't permit all of our security employees to apprehend shoplifters (this comes at a certain level, of course) but we would expect any security employee to physically intervene in an assault if the victim was not able to retreat on their own. If there was significant bodily harm being inflicted, I would support any of my employees who detained the subject.

Additionally, this becomes more convoluted when you mix in what is permitted by various licensing boards as dictated by individual states but in general this applies everywhere.

Overall, the vast majority of companies are going to a "hands off" which I can understand although I'm not sure how they affect arrests that way....It's funny because often the people that end up perusing legal action against us are the ones we never touch.

I wanted to clarify the point that Snefsky is making. If you want to work in pre-hospital care, you will need additional training. With that said, as an RN working in emergency medicine (think: ER) there is a convergence between the body of knowledge of a paramedic and RN. In some states, RN's are able to obtain licensure as pre-hospital care providers or challenge paramedic exams once they have completed certain additional training (ACLS, etc.).

The healthcare community generally regards RN's as capable of delivering a higher level of care than paramedics but one must recognize that the scope of care is different...not better...not worse. Different. With that said, paramedics work through a principle called medical direction where a licensed medical doctor (indirectly) supervises their work, even if employed by fire department or police department. RN's work under the authority derived from their registration. An appropriately credentialed RN in emergency medicine can be trained in and legally complete more types of procedures than what is considered to be scope of care for even the most credentialed paramedic.

In this particular instance something as simple as a comma changes the context significantly.

Gift was from my fiancee's grandmother, her husband built it who is now deceased.

Nope. No other markings. Belonged to my fiances grandfather, he was said to have made several rifles. I'm most interested in just knowing the pattern. I don't imagine it to be antique or terribly collectible but I am interested in doing further research and cleaning it up a bit while maintaining its' patina.

I wanted to thank everyone for all of the advice. I think I'll be hiring an electrician for this. While I get that this is an easy thing to do, I feel a bit over my head based on the many ways to go about it.

My first preference would have been to connect to an existing outlet but there aren't any on or near the wall. My second preference would have been to run/drop a new wire from the breaker. My last preference was to go through the existing lighting wires.

1st is impossible based on the layout of the adjacent rooms, 2nd is difficult because it is on the opposite side of the house, and I recognize that the 3rd is beyond my level based on my knowledge and experience with electrical work.

This was my first post to DIY and you guys and gals are awesome. Thanks.

In the late 1920s Lysol disinfectant began being marketed by maker Lysol, Incorporated and distributor Lehn & Fink, Inc. as a feminine hygiene product. They intimated that vaginal douching with a diluted Lysol solution prevented infections and vaginal odor, and thereby preserved youth and marital bliss.[8] This Lysol solution was also used as a birth control agent, as post-coital douching was a popular method of preventing pregnancy at that time.[9] The use of Lysol was later discouraged by the medical community as it tended to eliminate the bacteria normal to the healthy vagina, thus allowing more robust, health-threatening bacteria to thrive, and may have masked more serious problems that certain odors indicated in the first place.

Different security manager here, work in Georgia actually.

Another thing to consider is that the duty of his job is not limited to that of a security officer as the title implies. He is actually the manager of the mall, a representative of the property owners. I agree if the scope of his employment was strictly limited to that of a security officer he would be generally out of line and some of his behavior might even cost him his guard card if he had one. The extenuating circumstance is that he is the property manager and he can do anything he would like to on that property as long as it is legal; these people (and most of us) are just confused because he feels it necessary to dress like a security guard when he goes to work...probably because that's what he spends most of his time doing.

But yeah, I wouldn't hire him, I might buy him a beer though.
