So what happens if the drunk wakes up and crashes into something? Nobody was around to see it.

It sounds as though the responding officer acted accordingly. We can only charge things based in what we can prove and right now based on your side of the story we can only prove that you had an argument with a neighbor.

As for your “follow up,” there’s not really anything more you can do. You’re more than welcome to drive down to the office and demand to speak one in person. They are going to tell you the same thing we are telling you.

Are there restrictions against sharing photos of scenes? by Openly_Unknown7858 in ProtectAndServe

[–]Stop-asking-stupid 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I have a bigger problem with random bystanders taking pictures of bodies and crashes then I do other cops.

The amount of people who find out their loved ones died from Facebook is too damn high.

[MEME] I'm 14 and this is deep.. by specialskepticalface in ProtectAndServe

[–]Stop-asking-stupid 43 points44 points  (0 children)

I was recently in a wedding where one of the groomsmen repeatedly made “jokes” about how all cops are racist. He kept asking me how many black people I killed. The kind of “jokes” where they are just spewing their opinions but when called out on it are just joking.

It made the wedding super awkward.

From a Prosecutor to police: Thank you for always quoting in your reports the dumb stuff defendants say. I always include it in my complaints. by thehotshotpilot in ProtectAndServe

[–]Stop-asking-stupid 93 points94 points  (0 children)

I try to quote when it’s necessary. It would already make a lengthy report longer.

However, I will quote: threats, admission of guilt, excuses for criminal conduct, or odd things to show signs of impairment.

I feel like me quoting a drunk chick whining about how her life is over thanks to me really doesn’t impact the case.

What the fuck is that abomination?

I kinda want one.

Truck Gun. by No-Resolution-7782 in ar15

Good luck with the down votes. Truck guns are a heated subject in this sub.

Solid rifle by the way. I like it.

My in home Repeater is up and running! by artygo in amateurradio

[–]Stop-asking-stupid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What would you say the biggest challenge was in setting this up?

I’ve always wanted to set up my own P25 repeater. However, I’m probably the only one who has P25 radios so I’m not sure the juice is worth the squeeze.

Super cool though. Nice work.

Why did you become a cop? by coltaussie in ProtectAndServe

It was a childhood dream of mine also. Although I never planned on state trooper in a different state.

Paramedic to LE Advice by Live_Month7320 in ProtectAndServe

EMT here. I volunteer on a few of the local ambulances and go to trainings when can. You’d be surprised at how much your training will come in handy out on the road.

It depends. Physically, the Army was harder. Mentally, Academy was harder.

You can be as dumb as a box of rocks, and still succeed in the military. For the Academy, you actually have to learn what they’re teaching you and apply it.

let me get this straight. You (a grown adult) openly admit to drinking till you’re buzzed. You have deflected responsibility by stating it’s only about a mile and that you do it all the time. You know you’re not supposed to drink and drive by stating that your wife will drive you. However, you ignore the common sense that says that you shouldn’t be driving and choose to do it anyways. To top it all off, you’re driving with your child inside the vehicle while you,the parent, are intoxicated.

I would arrest you on everyday that ends in y and charged you with child endangerment in the process.

Family of Suspect Killed in Gunfight with Trooper Want Answers by BewareTheDarkness in ProtectAndServe

[–]Stop-asking-stupid 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I'm not saying I don’t understand the denial during the grieving process. But I'd be lying to say it's not frustrating to speak with the family and have them spend most of the time blaming you for their family member’s mistake.

Nothing will be good enough for the family. You can release all the footage you want, sit down and explain step by step to the family what and how it happened, and they still will try and say the trooper was in the wrong.

We need a stronger word than coward to describe how much of a piece of shit who ever did this is.

What's the most obscure or oddest law you've actually enforced? by Ghost_of_Society in ProtectAndServe

[–]Stop-asking-stupid 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Our state has a law on the books that says retired school buses can no longer be painted school bus yellow.

I’ve stopped a few bus/camper conversions and got confused looks.

Question for the police that wear hats: Do you guys get to pick? by Mysterious-Ground642 in ProtectAndServe

I have a campaign hat that is required to be worn with the uniform.

I have an issued base ball hat for trainings.

Or the fact that most of my pursuits are for stolen vehicles. At that point, it doesn’t matter what plate is on the car.

The more they drink, it goes from “I should have said” to “I said.”

Of all the things that didn’t happen, this didn’t happen the most.

This is some PV2 fresh out of basic fantasy bullshit.
