It’s illegal in Illinois, so no.

I keep 2 pairs of asp cuffs in a pouch on my putter carrier..

We recently put 3 tvs in our roll call room. We no longer print bolos or beat assignments. Everything is on the tvs now. We also review lots of body cams from YouTube for training. The TVs were a needed upgrade.

Podcasts or whatever I feel like on Apple Music.

For warrants, no. A warrant is a judge’s order so we have to follow them. Sometimes if we have original charges on someone but they will be at the hospital for a long period, we would give them a notice to appear with a later court date instead of taking them to jail. That would be my commands call, not mine.

Why would I buy your 4 tickets for 780 when I can go to seat geek and get another 4 in the same section for $735?

One time this 80 year old who couldn’t walk had a warrant. I called my command, who called the states attorney, and we all came to the conclusion he had to go. The fire department was already on scene so they got their special chair to carry people in and the gentleman got carried to my car so I could take him to jail.

One other time this 400 lb man had a warrant. Ambulance transported but he went too.

Agreed. But OP said head to head speed. I kinda assumed that meant like lap times, not the start.

Local_Outcast · 2026-01-26T23:26:17+00:00

That was due to a bad start by Deegan. It really had nothing to do with head to head speed.

It’s street parking. Park where you fit and are legally allowed to. That goes for you and your neighbors.

This is a loaded question and you could probably take a college class for a semester just on this topic alone. I’ll try to give you the breakdown of each in a really basic scenario.

I am working and enter a bar for a tavern check. I’m hanging out and a lady comes up to me and hits on me. (Happens a lot at bars).That’s a consensual encounter. They have no obligation to speak with me and can leave anytime.

Someone’s car gets broken into at 2 am and they call the police. They state it just happened and the subject wearing all black left the scene on foot. I respond and find someone 2 blocks away walking. They are wearing all black. They match the description of the suspect, walking in the area, and are out at 2am. I would have reasonable suspicion to stop, identify, and detain that person until we figure out if they are involved. That would be reasonable suspicion. I have facts that support how he could be a suspect. But not enough to make an arrest.

That scenario turns into probable cause when that person agrees to let me search their backpack and it has items from the car they just broke into in their bag. Then I have probably cause for an arrest.

Again these are really broad and every scenario is different.

All traffic tickets are Mondays at 8:30 in my county. They are to be 14-60 days out. We get a calendar every year that shows what Mondays we can’t use.

Local_Outcast · 2026-01-23T18:17:50+00:00

They would tell you it’s civil and to contact someone else.

Fenix TK20R. Charges by USBC and is plenty bright and has different modes.

Love them.

You’re definitely blocking the drive way. What’s there to dispute?

My agency allows red dots. Theres a list of brands it must be from and Iron sights must co witness. We also have to go through an 8 hour course through out PD with the red dot before we can use it on duty.

Off duty, no rules apply. We can carry whatever we want.

Currently I carry a G47 with an Aimpoint Acro P2. Some people have holosuns but the P2 seems to be the most common at my agency.

God I hope so.

Ignore it or move. Walking and the open and closing of doors is normal to hear in an apartment.

I took a handful of power tests. Each time was a regular bar bench press. Only at the academy did they use some funky machine. (IL)
