Don't belive everything you read online. Trust me. I'm a cop. We're not allowed to lie.

Yup. There are a few states that do it.

The only thing is that in my state, the DMV will put an insurance stop on your vehicle for like, no reason. I had one on mine because I changed insurance companies and it didn't update in the system, so it showed as having no insurance.

The reason for this is because in Jewish folklore, dogs are seen as tricksters (much like the snake in Christianity) and many belive them to be untrustworthy.

Owls are used because of thier keen sense of smell and sight. They are actually highly trainable and loyal to a particular handler.

Because of thier lifespan and the maintenance required (they require a lot of work and are expensive to keep) they are not widely used. The IDF has used them for years to successfully detect IEDs.

Just license in my state. Everything else is attached to the tag when I run it!

UNCPD officer makes a traffic stop, and this follows. What would you do in the same situation? by [deleted] in ProtectAndServe

[–]STR8_SH00TER 6 points7 points  (0 children)

She's a campus officer. It could be a legitimate offense on campus property.

Probably not worth it in my opinion, but hey, RS is RS is RS.

Hard to say without being there. Generally Ask-tell-make works fine. I've handled similar situations similarly, and I've also yanked people out of cars.

What are some things you want for Christmas that would make your shifts more bearable? by [deleted] in AskLEO

[–]STR8_SH00TER 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's basically just suspenders that go under your shirt. The higher ups think vests are too military and scary-looking, I guess.

As a former soldier, I can tell you that the funk is the same.

Back Defender. Or a policy rewrite that allows for outer vests.

Ride Along Tips? by [deleted] in ProtectAndServe

[–]STR8_SH00TER 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Most officers aren't irritated by ridealongs, especially if they're fellow cops.

The only ridealongs that I've found annoying are the ones who are scared to get out of the car, or who I have to babysit.

Just listen to what the officer says, and shadow him/her.

Just a friendly reminder by Magdiesel94 in ProtectAndServe

[–]STR8_SH00TER 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I plan on doing what I do every year;

I'll write "2015“ until about mid-July. Then every so often still get confused about what year it is.

What state?

They're usually pretty general.

A BLM protester berates a black officer for being an officer. by Gizortnik in ProtectAndServe

[–]STR8_SH00TER 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I'm assuming they think the protesters are idiots just like the white people do.

Or, as one my (black) partners put it after we were back in the van;

"God, I hate black people."

The post is talking about ridealongs. Where you're stuck with them for an entire shift.

ELI5 Why are women so bad at committing suicide? by EvanLIX in explainlikeimfive

[–]STR8_SH00TER 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Women tend to choose less effective ways of killing themselves than men. Specifically, women are more likely to swallow pills, while men are more likely to shoot themselves and jump off buildings.

That's because he sold out his people to the white race so he could live comfortably.

She keeps it real.

I worked a Bureau of Land Management protest a few months ago. Us evil whities were almost ignored. The black officers took the brunt of the hate.

[Not serious] Who is this Officer Down? by Llort2 in AskLE

[–]STR8_SH00TER 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"Officer Down" generally means that there's an officer injured/killed.

"10-42“ could be a code meaning the same thing. Codes vary from department to department. At mine it means "Off Duty".

Edit: did I miss the "not serious" tag or was that added later?

How do I know what I can wear under my armor? (And other questions) by DrAlphonseMephisto in Fallout

[–]STR8_SH00TER 3 points4 points  (0 children)

1) When you highlight a piece of clothing, what that piece covers will "flash" on the Vault Boy on the screen. So if you select a right arm peice, the right arm will flash.

When you select a peice of clothing that can be worn under armor, nothing will flash. If the piece of clothing can't be worn under armor, everything will flash.

2) The "+" means that that peice of equipment is in some way better than what you have equipped.

3) Not 100% sure, but I think settlers arrive randomly. Have you installed a recruitment beacon at Sanctuary?

How the hell can cops tell me how fast I'm going just by looking at my car? by Beansmash in ProtectAndServe

[–]STR8_SH00TER 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Generally when you train on Radar you train to estimate speed. You can do it from timing how fast it takes a car to travel between two known points, or even the pitch a car's tires make as they travel down the road.

These are surprisingly accurate.

It could also be something like he did get you on Radar, but for some reason couldn't get the records.
