It seems so odd that the cops suddenly use tear gas while it's not really needed. https://youtu.be/xrF_oOGkQTc?t=31

I was in the far left lane. A cop turned on his lights as he was approaching the intersection, behind me. I pulled way over to the right side of the lane. He gestured like this wasn't enough room for him to get by. There were no cars crossing the intersection. Should I have just gone through the red light and moved over?

I ended up moving up and turning in front of the car to my right then reversing back into my lane.

To me the identification and the authority are inseparable. If I can't positively identify someone as a cop then for all I know they are not actually a police officer. I'm not saying violence is warranted just to be clear. I'm just wondering what to do in case of such an implied threat?

Hello, I'm 99% sure that this is illegal, but i saw a guy walking around an apartment complex i was working at, and he was old and VERY overweight, and he was walking his dog out at 1am and i made contact with him out of curiosity because i noticed that he was wearing a black sweat shirt with blue letters that said "police" and a black beanie hat that also had blue letters that read "police"

i asked him if he was police and he self identified that he was not.

now, I'm not trying to call the police, or get the police involved because i don't care, the reason I'm posting this is to confirm, this is illegal correct? he was walking around with the works "police" on him, not "fuck the police" not "support the police" just

"police"

i didn't talk to him about it, but I'm pretty sure this is illegal but i wanted to ask what you guys thought, thank you

Are they trying to catch you in a lie, or is it just to test if you were aware of what you were doing?

this all started on Facebook... I recieved a random friend request from a female. So I accepted the request and she messaged me 1st. Started off as a normal conversation. Then out of nowhere she asked if I liked "tits and pussy" to which I said yes of course. Then proceeded to video chat. She was already naked. And asked to see my penis. So I obliged. Then recored me showing it and then ended the chat. Then messaged me saying that I'm a pedo. And that she was 15... now she is blackmailing me saying she'll delete the video if I send her $1000 if not then she'll share that video to my friends and family and my place of work. Saying I'm a pedophile and whatnot. Am I really in legal trouble? I dont believe she is in fact 15. But I still dont what that video posted anywhere. What can I do? What are my options? Also its not like I knew she was "15" nor did I ask. But again. She didnt look underage. Nor am I, or would I even continue that conversation if I had known that she was a minor obviously. I just dont know what to do. I'm being blackmailed. What can I do about this....?

I'm reaching out for a friend who doesn't have reddit. There's been a group of young door to door salesmen visiting her neighborhood. They're just doing their jobs, not doing anything wrong. They've even respectfully asked my friend if they can eat lunch on her porch while they wait for their boss to come pick them up. My friend noticed that on the Facebook group for her neighborhood, people have been posting about the salesmen accusing them of canvassing houses and encouraging each other to answer the door with guns, threaten to shoot the young men, or to "shoot first ask questions later." All because the kids are black.

She's already sent screenshots to that company so they can try and keep the kids safe. Is there any kind of report she should make to the police so that if something bad does happen, the neighbors are held accountable?

I made a friend at work in the last few months. He's a very nice person, we enjoy talking and we text sometimes outside of work. We have been talking about hanging out sometime for awhile now, he's invited me to his house. Out of curiosity, today I asked him if there was anything he couldn't do as a cop that he wanted to try. He said he has always wanted to try smoking pot. I happen to have the means to facilitate an introduction to Miss Mary Jane.

However, I am a little bit nervous that he might still be on the force in some capacity, or be an informer of sorts. It seems a little paranoid, but I come from a state where pot is legal, so I'm still getting used to being secretive about some of my recreational activities. I don't know how paranoid I SHOULD be.

Am I going too far? What are the odds that this is a trick? It almost seems too perfect. I'm not usually a paranoid person, but something in my gut is leading me to question this situation. What should I do?

Have you lost a big sense of purpose? How are you coping with the loss of a major thing to bust people over? What do you like to arrest people for now?

I first saw this stat in Argentina. The bodies that they found over 80% of the time were wearing well, pants.

Then I saw it again after I moved to surrey. Garment you most likley have on when you are stabbed ...Trousers.

If those stats are true, why do skirts make people go easier?

I don't want to go into too much detail. I was told today by a very reliable source that someone told on me to get their charges lowered and I am now under investigation. The thing is, I don't ever actually do anything that could get me into trouble. How am I able to find out if I am under investigation by the police and who it was that told on me without straight out asking the police and making me look sus?

So I was just watching this video about a major cocaine bust in New Zealand. Report says that "35 bricks of high-grade cocaine, weighing 1kg each" were discovered. Three people were arrested.

If the business model of the trafficker relies on accepting debt/risk rather than paying for the product, then the trafficking network loses the property of violent men.

In TV and movie crime fiction, this kind of bust would be followed by punishment and likely executions of the traffickers by the sellers.

I imagine that the people arrested in this particular bust were probably a small part of a larger network. I have my doubts that the market here would be so demanding that it could consume regular shipments of this size. So I'm guessing that the bales were due to be exported to another country, and that NZ was just a waypoint.

I'm guessing that this network has taken on debt. If the network doesn't have the assets to cover the debt, then what happens?

Have any of you witnessed the fallout among criminal networks from this kind of bust?

Thanks.

Is it illegal to drive around speed bumps on public roads?

thank you

Hey guys, quick question, i was at church earlier and i observed two vehicles in the alley way behind the church, i made contact with them, the two people in the cars where homeless and i found out they just needed gas and they would move along

i was able to get them some gas and they moved along in one vehicle but the other apparently was broken down and they could not get it started.

so i have a few questions

1: if a vehicle is parked directly in the middle of a residential alley way, in such a way that neither small cars nor trucks nor garbage trucks can get past it, is that illegal? would it be illegal because it's a transitionary space? what law would it be breaking?

2: how long can it stay there if it can stay there at all?

3: if police make contact with it and it's unoccupied, will it be immediately towed?

4: of police make contact with it and it's occupied and people are sleeping in it, what happens then?

thank you

So a few days ago my sister in laws cousin passed out in her home and her little boy called my sister in law and told us so we called 911 and the cops got there first but we told my grandma to go see if the little boy needed to come back with her and to make sure she was ok, well she got there and april (the cousin) was still feeling bad and my grandma said that she had the cops kick her out and it really hurt her feelings but my sister in law said that the cops made her leave and that april had nothing to do with it. So now there's a big fuss because if it but what i was going to ask was can cops remove a person that you are freinds with off of your property withought your word to do so during a medical call?

So I was driving behind this semi truck and there was this red liquid leaking out the back doors that looked very much like blood. Should I report this?

Does the constant strobe of the lights of conducting traffic stop investigations wear on your eyes? I am not LEO but curious about how that could possibly weaken your eyes.
