Ask Me About Being a Police Officer

ItalianFX · #1 10-08-2007, 05:31 PM

A few people were interested, and El D gave me the thumbs up, so now I have some time and will respond to questions. I didn't want to post in OOT because of the hate I will get, but I am sure I'll get some here.

I reserve the right to not respond to questions that I feel are a judge of my character as a police officer, or any other question that I feel is inappropriate to answer.

I will try to answer all questions to the best of my knowledge.

What is your favorite part of the job? What is your least favorite?

Favorite: Responding to a call with lights/sirens, and just the general sense that people look to me to help them. Helping someone is very rewarding in this profession.

Least: The "he said/she said" incidences when you are like "who the hell do I believe and what is the best possible alternative to not arresting them both." I also don't like the domestic calls when the argument begins, "I pay all the bills..."

If I think of anymore, I'll post them.

Have you ever arrested someone for something?

I don't carry a taser, but if I did, I have never been in a situation where I thought I would need it.

Which city Italian? Would u bust a guy for getting an asian massage with happy ending? I mean, do cops even care about little stuff like this? I'm in San Fran and this is quite the common practice out here....Would I go to jail for this?

It's a small town in western Pennsylvania. I am a municipal police officer.

I do not believe there are any laws like that in Pennsylvania, and there aren't any asian massage parlors around where I'm from. The only Asian people we have are people who are here to own chinese restaurants.

If we did have some kind of law like that, I would assume it wouldn't be a jailable offense.

How would you respond if someone yelled "[censored] the police!" within earshot of you driving by?
