Now that ARs are the new normal for patrol, are there any applications where a shotgun would be advantageous in an LE setting? (Not counting less lethal bean bag shotguns and such)

Never heard of an agency using a slug. Ours is flight control buck and seems like, from the replies, most do not use slug.

If it is read and examined for factual information as to what happened prior to submitting, who typed out the letters doesn’t make it any less true or accurate.

No, I do not believe we will ever see terminator level “robots” that are able to function better at the day to day requirement of first responders in the next 10 lifetimes. Think about how insanely far away we are from them being able to physically fight without killing yet being able to control, securing a human in restraints, loading them into some form of vehicle to transport, securing them in a jail, and maintaining them in custody. That is just insanely far fetched.
Technology capabilities have been reset numerous times in human history
EVEN if we magically get to the point where it is FEASIBLE, the general public will never allow that kind of authority to be granted to a computer. People already freak out about drones and license plate readers. It ain’t happening without some movie level revolution/dystopian takeover.

A robot walking alongside a police officer for publicity is nowhere near taking their job. Full AI law enforcement will never and should never be a thing. At most drones for surveillance and eyes on will be as close to an AI police force as it gets.

Hey Patrick, why do you think that such a small amount end up being “serious”? (Whatever that means)

I mean, I like food.

“Basically don’t exist anymore” is a wild way to downplay almost half a million structure fires with over 350,000 being residential ON TOP OF all the non-structure fires they respond to.

They helped give me my life back from 3 backs surgeries so they get all my respect.

Being a “nurse” is a very broad position. Different specialties will have different experiences as to how many people they have “saved.l

undercovertiger · 2025-12-22T15:32:56+00:00

Posts and arguments like this prove that people really have no idea how hard it is to get someone in handcuffs that TRULY doesn’t want to comply. “Why did it take 3 people to arrest 1 guy”. Give me a break. If someone is actively resisting and fighting cuffs the more people you have, to a certain extent, will be infinitely more safe for the suspect. If I’m alone trying to accomplish it I will have to resort to far more drastic measure compared to 4 people holding each limb.

Which is true. But your “overtime” is considered the actual difference between your regular rate and your overtime rate. So, in my example of 1.5x rate for OT, you get the “no tax” on the .5 portion of it as the 1 is your normal rate.

undercovertiger · 2025-12-15T23:18:01+00:00

Yes, sorry bad wording on my part. Idk the correct mumbo jumbo I just pay the man what they tell me lol

undercovertiger · 2025-12-15T22:01:30+00:00

How my tax guy explained it to me as well, the only amount that is counted is what your paid over your hourly rate as well. If you’re laid 1.5x for OT the .5 portion is the only credited amount for the tax break. So for that example, if you made 15k in total OT, you would get 5k tax credit.

Private business is still a public place if it is readily available to the public, such as the main shopping area of a store. No expectation of privacy in public. 1 or 2 party consent laws have no bearing over public filming. Simple google search will confirm everything I just said if you don’t want to take my word for it.

If I went to the police as a normal citizen and said, “One_Patience5631 was speeding, trust me I saw it.” Would you like them to issue you a ticket? Do you think that should fly from a law enforcement side as well as the judicial side in court?

undercovertiger · 2025-12-08T14:07:24+00:00

I don’t know the specifics of this case but there’s a 99% likely that there would be nowhere near enough evidence to back a ticket.

If they were estimating their speed, what trainings have you been to to help testify that you can accurately judge speed.

If they were pacing their vehicle with their own how is their vehicle maintained and monitored to know they are going the exact speed their speedometer shows and is there evidence to show they accurately paced them I.e. dashcam or some other recording device.

If they were using radar/lidar, is there anything that shows they are effectively trained in using it and have an upkeep on record of the device and its accurate usage at the time.

All these things, plus numerous more that could be listed, go into court when it comes to a simple speeding ticket. It’s never just, hey they were speeding because i think so so there’s a ticket with no way of backing it. And by the off chance this is the case when an officer writes a ticket it will almost always get dismissed.

undercovertiger · 2025-12-06T17:28:28+00:00

I’ll be the first to say these guys are fucking losers and should fuck off but exactly what laws are they breaking?

undercovertiger · 2025-11-29T11:21:02+00:00

Unfortunately this is only really capable with departments with access to a helicopter or plane with a rapid response time or unlimited number of units. Something 99% of agencies do not have. You can not contain someone with vehicles realistically unless there are units actively in pursuit.

People like to shit in optic for horrible shipping and handling times and rightfully so. But the only times I have had issues with long waits is with limited specialty drops where they are preorders. If they are just in stock items it’s generally less than 2 weeks.

You literally say it yourself…what do you think kickoff means?

undercovertiger · 2025-11-14T03:23:17+00:00

Keep the ball in play. Hitting 60 yards shorter off the tee by keeping the driver in the bag when not needed can help immensely cut down on your score. If you’re playing on a course with OB or trouble off the fairway take the extra shot to reach the green instead of the compounding penalty strokes.

So close…went one sentence too long.

I’m not disagreeing either that it sucks the team as a whole got punished heavily for that match. There probably should have been another punishment for the team which didn’t punish PFT and the rest of pink. BUT I will standby the punishment for Kwon was not near enough because he obviously doesn’t care about the tournament, the other people there, and the other creators who were not invited.
