Hi all I am Master Paladin I am a retired New York City Police Officer just be advised I will be talking of NYC law I do know of some other states but my knowledge is of NYC. If I don't know the answer I am not gonna lead you on I will simply tell you I don't know.
 
Actually, I do have an honest police based question. I've been accosted by police all over the world... well, in England, Ireland and France anyway... so replace world with Europe and that was actually accurate!

Anyway, I've come to notice a few things about police, in Ireland, for the most part, they're really friendly and try to help you out, regardless of whether or not you're acting like a drunk tit.

Similarly in England, the police seem a little more aggressive than the Irish lads (who are actually just lads, I'm yet to come across a garda who wasn't up for the banter), but unless you really piss them off, they're nice, understanding and helpful.

The less said about the French, the better... bloody gestapo...

But I was in America about a year or two ago, and (granted, by American standards I was underage) I only had a few bottles in me and I was absolutely blasted by an officer. He got me trying to hail a cab and demanded I show him ID (I haven't been asked for ID since I was 15, so that was really odd), when I didn't have it he flipped his lid and gave me some rant about how I need to understand the law. I tried explaining I was a tourist over for a holiday, but he was having none of it.

I wont go into what happened from there, because it was really unpleasant, but (even including the French) it was the worst I've ever been treated by a policeman. My question is, are American police told to go out with a 'zero-tolerance' policy, or was I just really unlucky in the officer who got me?
 
there is a 0 tolerance with underage drinking but as a tourist things should have went better but I really don't know what happened to tell you if he was within his limits. Plus you said a couple of bottles ? I hope you meant beer and not hard liquor. lol oh How old age here is 21 now it was 18 when I started
 
Well I'm a little curious about your personal experiences from being in the police force... I bet you've met a lot of odd-balls in your days, what was the weirdest (read: most fucked up) encounter you had?
 
it's a long story but to cut it short I was evicting a guy from his ex wife's house he asked to kiss his baby good bye me being human said ok (big mistake) he tried to leave with a 3 month old baby we were trying to get the baby away when he started biting at the baby's throat. I hit him 2 times with a night stick on the head he turned and wide eyed stared at me I was ready to shoot him I honestly felt the baby's life was in danger thank god the hits on the head took effect and he4 fell it did take a second this became a black white issue for some but the lady was totally on our side and so was the security officer that was on the scene. I then and now do not look at color or creed if your no good then your just no good black white yellow red blue or green threaten a baby and I will do what ever I have to to secure the baby's safety. For me that was my worst job
 
Where'd the stereotype about donuts come from?

Thanks for sharing though.
 
Cops tend to get over weight when on the job. because of slow responses years ago and sometimes today when they see lights and siren people tend to say their going for donuts. ok here is a question I know the answer to why do they call cops copper or cops for short ? can anyone tell me why

ok here goes and you can look it up. Years ago the shield or as a lot call it badge was made of copper and dipped in silver when it wore down it showed the copper thus the name copper or cop for short. It's actually a disrespect to say cop but so many don't know it became acceptable . Many Police Officers don't even know that but look it up you will see.

To my understanding there was a time when the only places open 24/7 were coffee and donut shops. So that was the only place night shift cops can go for food during their breaks.
 
Does the presence of a police constable grant a county court bailiff carrying out a warrant of execution statutory right of entry into a premises? And if a police constable saw a county court bailiff physically restraining a judgement debtor against whose goods his warrant has been issued, not for any self-defensive purposes but purely in order to gain entry to his premises and remove goods, what is the proper course of action for the policeman to take? :-o
 
Do policemen generally prefer jelly, or glazed doughnuts???:hungry:

in the states a bailiff does not execute warrants of any kind. As far as arrest warrants that is handled by the police , for evictions or removing of property the Marshall handles that and the police are call simply to keep the peace

a more proper question would be do that like their eggs with or without the yoke lol as for the doughnuts I couldn't tell you with the eggs it's like 50 50
 
I heard that at one time COP stood for Constable On Patrol That was back in high school during the 80's when I heard that

As a truck driver,there are some laws I hate Like the split speed limits some states have Like Illinois 55 MPH for trucks over eight tons,and 65 MPH for vehicles less that eight tons

I always wondered how the police feel about those laws


For what it is worth,I do respect most police Sadly,just like any other job,the few bad apples make the rest look bad

Oh right, you're in the US of suchforth. What's the American equivalent of a county court bailiff then (as in the bloke who comes to your house to negotiate payment and take away goods if you don't pay fines/ taxes/ get a judgement against you for a private debt)? I think in the US your bailiffs are just court officers who take prisoners down and whatnot.

yes

What your talking would be Sheriffs and Marshals in my 20 years as a Police officer I never handled anyone trying to collect a debt here they take cars and and vehicles they do not come to homes to take belongings at least not in NY
 
Red Arrow

Folks: A red arrow is a red light. Until it turns green you can't proceed. If you could proceed, the red arrow wouldn't be mounted there in the first place. In NYC you can't turn right on red anyway, unless there is a sign that says you can. So when you see a red arrow it should be basic common sense that you don't proceed.
