What is trhe difference between a Police Officer and a Police Agent?
States in the west use agents rather than police officers.
Jake asked:
I don’t mean this as a troll question, just curious to see others responses. What makes it acceptable and okay for a police officer to detain someone, search private property, and put people into handcuffs and cages? No other citizen can do these things, so why police?
OC asked:
What sort of signs do police officers use when determining if someone should be searched? This is only for people stopped while pulled over. Also- This is excluding noticeable smells like marijuana or alcohol. On another note, are police legally allowed to search a vehicle without a warrant when they smell something illegal? (since it’s not in plain “view”)
PeguinBackPacker asked:
I have a grudge against police officers, I will admit it. It deals with police being very unprofessional towards law obeying citizens to put it nicely. I also know considering the type of people police deal on a daily basis, and I understand why they are not too trusting of the public either. However every time I ask an law enforcement issue on yahoo answers, those with careers in law enforcement are kind polite and informative and it lessens the hard feelings I have against them. Yes I know this sounds like a loaded comment, this is however geared to those in law enforcement. Does yahoo answers lessen the divide between community and law enforcement and brings a better sense of community between the two in your opinion?
I have hard feelings due to a police officer in my home town leaving grip marks on brother’s neck for sitting on a side walk after dark. And then being told by the police we would be arrested next time we call about such a matter. That was wrong and injust. However, like I said, it is attitudes and perspective formed from what one deals with on a daily basis. Change this perspective and things turn for the better, which is always good.
That was for those who want to know.
jsmotox asked:
Just for the record I don’t drink at all. I just wanted to know what a police officer would tell a individual that came up to him outside a police station and asked him that question. I don’t approve drinking and driving at all. I just wanted to know what a police officer would say or do. I appologize if i offended anyone by this question.
RLewis asked:
Basically, Can a police officer testify to something he was told during an interrogation that is not in the suspect’s original statement?
