I'm sure it was for some investigation. I would like to know how he found it and does he normally sweep his vehicle for bugs and/or tracking devices normally? Seems like there is probably a lot more to it. Now just throwing one on a person's vehicle for no reason is bull and violation of laws.

I don't really see anyone getting locked up for it. I think it's more a show of respect and tradition. I've always understood it came from the old English court system.

If he wanted the fire protection service he should have paid for it like everyone else. Maybe instead of bitching at them I would bitch the county see why they didn't have protection from a county agency.

Fail, when is California going to float away?

It's never been illegal here. If you have no expectation to privacy somewhere you can be recorded all day long. That court ruling doesn't really mean anything here but also we don't have the same laws. I just do my job assuming everyone has a camera recording me. This day somebody will throw you up on youtube acting like a jack ass in hot minute.

I would like to see the in car video before I jumped to conclusions. All THP units have cameras, as far as patrol is concerned. I also like the part "Officer Loftis then asked with no probable cause, if I had any drugs or weapons in the car." There is no need for probable cause to ask a question like this. I'm glad most people so far have the sense enough to know there is always two sides to a story before crucifying the trooper. To add for you report hunters a misdemeanor citation for unlawful possession of a weapon wouldn't require a report. You would have to request a copy of the citation itself to see any paperwork unless required by a supervisor or policy.

I searched to make sure it wasn't posted already if it has sorry. This such a load of crap. Zeituni Onyango, Obama's Aunt, Says US Obligated to Grant Her Citizenship (Sept. 21) -- As Congress prepares to re-initiate the stalled immigration reform debate this week, one very personal immigration issue looks poised to hit the president close to home. President Barack Obama's aunt, Zeituni Onyango, says she's done nothing wrong by illegally living in the United States for years and is therefore deserving of amnesty. "If I come as an immigrant, you have the obligation to make me a citizen," Onyango, 58, told Boston's WBZ news. In her first interview since Obama was elected president, Onyango described how she came to America in 2000 from her native Kenya, fell ill and was hospitalized. Upon her release, Onyango told WBZ, she was out of money. So rather than return to her homeland, she continued to live in the country in violation of immigration laws. Sponsored Links After stints in a Boston homeless shelter, Onyango was eventually put in public housing and began receiving disability payments. In 2004, an immigration judge ordered her to leave the country, but Onyango remained. However, she noted that her story was less about intentionally flouting federal immigration policy and more about its ineffectiveness. "I didn't take advantage of the system," Onyango said. "The system took advantage of me." Onyango says that she received no help from Obama as her case was reviewed by Judge Leonard Shapiro, who ruled in May that Onyango could remain in the United States.

Maybe I did read it wrong. They probably never said anything about OC but honestly I'm too tired to go back looking. Like I said not a big issue just curious.

So I have noticed several people posting about how when they first get their permit they go to Wally world open carrying. So what gives? Not trying to bash anyone but just trying to understand why it seems like an accomplishment or why is it done. I can understand about being proud of getting your permit and enjoying carrying a handgun but it almost comes off as hey look at my new toy. I don't blame you for packing at that place it attracts all the upstanding citizens.

You'll be fine. The Department of Correction academy isn't a police academy or boot camp. Most people I've known that started in corrections before Patrol said it was easy. Just try building your physical fitness up now and never give up at the academy.

The photos don't have to match. I believe the policy for DOS is if you go in for HCP application or renewal in person they must take a new photo. As far as the speeding most drivers don't pay enough attention to notice an officer or don't understand way the radar or lidar operates. If you believe you are innocent take it to court. Yes on some systems the registered owner of the vehicle's license info pops up after running registration. There comes your HCP link. I don't personally care if someone has a permit on my stops I don't even ask about it.

Richie I recommend getting some good OC Spray for dogs. It won't cause any permanent damage but boy it will make them run and scream like crazy. I've had to use it on some landsharks myself. Even if you miss them usually the strong smell and it flying towards them is enough to scare them. I carry Freeze +p so I can testify to it. As far as a baton man those things are just there for looks. I have never once struck anyone with mine in 8 years. It's main purpose is to break windows and pick up stuff that rolls underneath the car. lol

The reason why it is so expensive is State traffic tickets are heard through General Sessions court. The court cost and fines are higher. Municipal courts are capped at court cost and fines. I would say you are probably at a younger age I say do the traffic school and be careful next time.

Strel you don't have a clue. You jump on here basically accusing them of being racist or profiling and saying they have no education. It has already been pointed out TWRA officers are formally educated and also trained Law Enforcement Officers. Somebody who doesn't provide acceptable identification when being charged with a crime can't be cited and released. Regardless if they are Caucasian, Hispanic, or Vietnamese. I have seen a Vietnamese man arrested for fishing offense because he couldn't prove who he was so shove that dumb idea about them targeting Hispanics out the window. You don't like the law complain to your lawmakers not about the Officer doing his job.

That show someone talked about with the license plate scanner and boots was about parking authority. Those people had racked up parking tickets so they put a boot on them. The license plate is legal to run all day. I run plates occasionally while out and about, you would be surprised how many plates are stolen or on incorrect vehicles because people don't want to pay the registration. I've had people try to argue the plate situation but when I explain the reason why they seem to calm down and understand. Not everybody who gets a paycheck from the government is out to take your guns or make you sheep.

Oops guess my selective reading missed the "dis" in disqualify. Pay me no attention.

Daniel I sent you an invite still reading pending. I believe my name is under M0F0 now with numbers for color codes in between.

I know several reserve officers who don't wish to become full time LEO. Mainly because they have a decent civilian job that pays much better with less stress. The Law Enforcement Officers Safety Act (used to be HR 218) doesn't apply to reserves per our State Attorney General. Here is the link to opinion if you wish to read it. http://tennessee.gov/attorneygeneral/op/2005/op/op29.pdf

Play mw2 on PC. PM me if you want another jerk on your steam list.

Only time I OC is if I'm on the job in plain clothes ex. admin junk or court. Other than that its concealed waiting to be tagged in the game.

I would have to double check but I believe P.O.S.T. mandates initial 80 hours of training for any reserve law enforcement officer. Most departments require more than this. You will have the same authority as paid officer but your status for going armed under the Law Enforcement Officers Safety Act is still a gray area. They are working on a bill to add part time and reserve officers for carrying nationwide. Check you PM for more detailed advice.

No biggie. Guess we can let you live lol.

How is not appropriate to ask if there is a weapon in the vehicle? You can choose whether to be truthful or lie about it. As far as asking for consent to search, if you don't want them to search just say no it's not that big of a deal and doesn't mean the end of the world. Don't be offended if an LEO asks for consent it doesn't mean he believes you are an murderer.

The wording other insignia will cover the seal. But that's very odd to just come out say remove a emblem when no one is trying to impersonate an agent. I'm sure there is something going on.

39-17-1351 (e) 1 and 2 deal with exception from the class for law enforcement officers. As I said before that's for law enforcement officers which he I believe he was referring to. Not really a big deal but 3 and 4 deal with armed security training and military training. It won't cost anything to ask about out of state POST certification to waive the permit class but I would put money on a no answer. Go to the class your wife will enjoy doing it with you and maybe you earn some brownie points to cash in later.
