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.

Do not report crimes here. Nothing here should be considered legal advice. All opinions are my own.

I have a video message saved on my phone of a ex friend threatening to hurt me. If I go to the police to submit a report would my phone be taken away ?

Asked by girl22 almost 11 years ago

The video is evidence. They will need to seize the phone at least long enough to take the video from the phone.

All arrests must be based on probable cause.

As for the noise violation (which is against the law), they have to excuse to not respond because there is nothing else that they're doing. The last misdemeanor/felony in the area was 2 years ago...

Asked by Jackson about 11 years ago

1.  Noise violations are not crimes.

2.  Just because you think it is noisy, doesn't mean it is a violation of local ordnance.

3.  Calling the cops on your neighbor for a noise violation is a pretty petty thing to do.

4.  Asking the government for permission to do something with your own property (i.e. your obsession with permitting) is repugnant. Even so, it is not likely enforceable by police officers.

I feel sorry for your neighbor.

Call your local police department and ask for their assistance. If they allow it, they will describe the process.

I don't know.  Contact the agency you are interested in and talk to their recruiter about your situation.
