Re: Ask Freerollin` about 10 years in Law Enforcement
[ QUOTE ]
i have a question regarding the underlying motivations for going into law enforcement. Generally speaking, what do you think are the motivating factors for most cops to be. In my town, a college town, i find that most of the cops seem to be reasonable people,with altruistic intentions. However, there seems to be a sizable minority who seem "get off" on there postions of relative power. Do you think a sizable percentage of cops have taken the job for less then honorable reasons? [/ QUOTE ] The motivating factors are almost always honorable. People become police officers because they want to help out other people and make a difference in their communities. There are, however, a VERY small minority of people who went into police work to get off. It's like the cop in Harold and Kumar - found out that bullying didn't work after high school and wanted to put themselves in a position to continue a power trip. This is very rare in my experience. I can think of one person who fit this description, but he was fired, and last I heard, was working as a bouncer.

Why did you get fired? [/ QUOTE ] Raiding the evidence room and taking evidence from an important trial. Watch, in two weeks or so I'll make a "I'm dying from cocaine" thread.

Once my grandfather called 911 after a storm to find out when the power was going to be restored because he wanted to watch the final round of the golf tournament on TV.

Is 15mph the general lowest over the speed limit most POs will pull you over for? [/ QUOTE ] I had a PO who was the head of traffic enforcement for a large department tell me this: 1. If it's just a regular PO then the general rule is 14 over the speed limit. This has to do with the type of radar they use and other mitigating factors. 2. If it's POs that specifically give traffic tickets then it can be as little as half of that. These are the guys with lasers and usually they are two motorcycle cops. I've personally received a ticket from these folks for 9 over. 3. If you are going over in a school zone, you are probably getting a ticket for as little as 5 over. Depends on the PO though they might just give you a warning. His advice was to never ever go over the speed limit in a school zone.

Re: Ask Freerollin` about 10 years in Law Enforcement
Thanks for taking the time.
You seem like someone who truly wanted to work as prosecution, so could you tell me (a) what were you making approximately when you decided to pack it in, and (b) how much the pay would need to be approximately in order for you to stay? Bonus question: What did you study in college before joining the police force? Mickey Brausch
