Cheating death and fighting communism: that is how a fellow officer once described our job. It was meant to be funny, but as time went on it seemed all too true.

I spent more than ten years in law enforcement, all of it on the street in uniform patrol. I've been a patrol officer, instructor, sergeant and lieutenant.

My husband was stopped last night for speeding, cop asked him to do sobriety tests.He was under arrest for suspicion of DUI. Did field sobriety test, which he passed. He blew.08. But he didn't speed. Can we get DUI thrown out with a false stop?

Asked by chopsitter over 11 years ago

Sounds like you need to talk to an attorney.  You probably wouldn't like my advice.

Asked by Hailey almost 11 years ago

It sounds like you should talk to a local police officer or deputy sheriff.  If you do not want to talk to someone in law enforcement, call 211 for a referral to non-law enforcement assistance.  If you are feeling suicidal, please call 1-800-273-8255.

Do police write reports on false allegations and use name of the alleged person?

Asked by SusieQJohnson almost 11 years ago

Generally, false allegations are recorded in a report.

Girl is abused over years long duration by a boyfriend, sexually and mentally. After end of relationship tries to tell people the truth and isn't believed, everyone thinks he's a great guy. Kills herself afterwards - what happens to him?

Asked by Kim almost 12 years ago

If the woman made a report with the local law enforcement agency, you should contact them for the status of the criminal investigation.  If she did not, is there any evidence he committed a crime?  If so, that should be taken to the local law enforcement agency.

Criminals cannot be arrested and adjudicated without victims and witnesses contacting law enforcement and being willing to participate in the investigation and prosecution.  

While tragic, if this is a case of:

  -  a woman who did not approach the police,

  -  there are no witnesses, and

  -  the only evidence that the ex-boyfriend sexually abused the woman at some point in the past were statements by the victim made to friends,

then I would expect that there is a lack of probable cause to arrest the ex-boyfriend for anything related to that abuse.
