Re: Ask A Police Officer
I write this on a sad note a friend, and brother police officer, Broward Sheriffs Sgt. Chris Reyka was shot and killed while checking on a stolen vehicle in a Walgreens parking lot within the city of Pompano Beach Fl. This occured last night at 1:20 AM. Ambushed, he wasn't even able to draw his weapon and return fire. Myself and some 300 LEO continue to scour the county looking for this vermin. I would like to request prayers for his family and friends, from my fellow Mach owners. Chris leaves behind a wife and 4 children, Including a son, who is a Marine about to be deployed in Iraq. Just a somber note that we are humans even if we write an occasional ticket. Chris gave his life protecting us. Whoever did this better turn himself in before we catch him.

Re: Ask A Police Officer
Question, If a Mach speeds past you would you pull them over? Warning or a Ticket.

Re: Ask A Police Officer
It isn't the car that makes my mind up. It's the person in the car.

Re: Ask A Police Officer
I would definetly pull him over. Ticket? only if he had Cobra emblems on the side, or a complete arse. Otherwise I would ask him a million questions about his Mach and let him go.

Re: Ask A Police Officer
I was woundering. The other day I got a call that my mother had fallen and was took to the Hospatal. The story goes like this. My mother fell getting out of the shower. She is in some artments that base the rent on your income. She is disabled because she has had a stroke. When she fell she called next door for here neighbor to help her. Her neighbor went and got the maintance people to unlock the door and she went in and got the dog and left. YES I SAID GOT THE DOG AND LEFT. I could have wooped her butt. 911 was not called until my sister went over and found her in the bathroom on the floor. My question is this "What is the name of the law in NC that states that you are to help someone in need like this"? I meen all she would have had to do is call 911. They asked her why she did not call 911 and she said she was scared. That is bull. If anything the Maintance department should have asked why she wanted the door unlocked and got a answer and they should have called 911. I want to look up this law and maybe see if anything can be done about this. I know a friend said his wife was in a car wreck and asked someone to help and she said she did not have time. Later that women got a ticket for not helping. Hope someone can help.

Re: Ask A Police Officer
Taking the Dog is a Felony.... if the neighbor stole it.
If the neighbor used the maintenance personel to gain entry just to steal the Dog, that is Felony Breaking and Entering, unless it was at night, which makes it Burglary (Felony) As far as a duty to help... that falls civilly upon Police Fire and EMS, or others trained in First Aid. If just the Neighbor, I am not aware of any Obligation to render assistance UNLESS it is a vehicle collision....( I could just be unaware of any) But, civilly there may be grounds... best to speak with an Attorney about that... especially about the Maintenance Personnel opening the door at the request of a neighbor. Hope your Mother is doing better.

Re: Ask A Police Officer
she is doing better. I just thought they should have called for help or something. The women next door watches the dog from time to time, but I thought it was messed up that she thought more about the dog than my mother!!! I just wanted to scare here with a paper or something so if there is a next time she will at least call 911. Thanks for your time.

Re: Ask A Police Officer
Sorry for this post being in the wrong place but I think I just bought your 03 Mach 1. (lic: 0mach3 dark grey?) The car seems to be in great shape and it looks like you have taken great care of it.
I have wanted one for a while and I hope to take care of it as well as you did. Thanks, Jeff |

Just got a ticket by a young female ten minutes ago! 60 in a 45. I guess was doing that? Let me just start by saying this drive was less than a mile just to test out the new solid steering rack bushings I just installed. I was coming up to a T intersection and making a right. When I turned right I saw the cop sitting at the light on my left heading in the opposite direction. As I'm going down the road passing a farm for crying out loud (country road) I go through the gears not really thinking I'm going 60! Keep in mind the cop is 1/4 mile back at the light with her back to me. As I pull onto my street, deep in the neighborhood I hear sirens and think "oh somebody got busted". Then the sirens got louder and before I know it there's the cop behind me as I pull into my driveway. I open the door to get out since I am in my driveway and she comes on the loud speaker "sir could you please stay in the vehicle?". She walks up like I'm going to blow her head off or something. Hiding behind my door so I can't see her with her hand on her pistol! After she gets my info, and I'm super nice like always to cops, she goes to the car and writes me a ticket for 60 in a 45! Do the new cop cars have radars pointing backwards? Do I just pay the ticket or fight it? She was nowhere in sight when I pulled into the neighbor hood. Is there a chance she got the wrong car? |

Re: Ask A Police Officer
Yes, rear antenna Radar... and here in NC, we have same lane radar
Pay or Fight is up to you. If you are not sure how fast you were going, you probably were going too fast. Pay attention to your speed next time There are many steps that need be followed when operating radar. First and foremost is identifying the target vehicle. Never get out of a car when stopped, unless directed to do so. Officer Safety; when one wants to harm us during a traffic stop, it happens usually during the approach.

Re: Ask A Police Officer
How serious is 15mph over the posted speed limit in Charlotte?
I still don't feel right about this. Meaning I don't think I was going that fast. The more I recall the incedent the more it bothers me. How/Why would I have gone 15 over right in fromt of a cop? Someone mentioned that me having out of state tags may have prompted the officer to pull me thinking I wouldn't hang around to fight it and just pay the fine through the mail. |

Re: Ask A Police Officer
3 point violation pertaining to an NC license. Not sure how your home state would rate it. $145 (Cost of court included)

But it is your right to go to Court and contest it. How? By pushing the peddle on the right. Why? Rhetorical question? What exactly would the officer get out of that? It's not like we get Commission for each ticket.

Re: Ask A Police Officer
I had a question of the LEO's of this board. Kind of goes the opposite way of most of this thread, just figured this was a good place to ask.
Civil Service testing - Not sure how it is done every where else but here your score comes to you as a percent. Not a percent in the usual terms of how many you got right or wrong, but a percent based on how you did compared to others who took the test. Does anyone know what is considered a good, decent, above and or below average score?? I know what I got and while it does not seem that bad, if it is average or below, I would like to take the test one more time in an effort to up my score a bit. |

Re: Ask A Police Officer
In Calif, the civil service tests are a percentage of your own test answers/performance. If you got 95%, that's your own score. So, if 100 people tested, all gut 99 and you got 98, you would be last on the list. You passed with 98%, but would be the last hired.

Re: Ask A Police Officer
Hey guys. As a soon to be college graduate i am currently looking for a career. I have always been interested in law enforcement and was wondering if anyone out there had anything to say positive or negative about the application and training process for becoming an officer. I have been to two different military schools and made it through the first years of hazing with no major problems besides the occasional D-head. I was looking at the Fairfax County Va police site and it does not make it really clear that you have to go to an academy to get trained as an officer. Im fairly certain that this is the case, i mean some training is required before they hand you a gun and a badge right? Im just kicking around ideas and law enforcement is defiantly one of them, I am also talking with alumni from here who are in the CIA and FBI and all those good alphabet soup organizations, but i really would like to not be sent to Fort McHennry Alaska with the CIA or anything. And so i turn to you, the fraternal order of Mach1ers for help.

Re: Ask A Police Officer
Just a quick question. I am going to be helping a friend move and we were discussing Weigh stations on the highways for trucks. Do U-Haul trucks have to stop at the weigh stations? He is getting the second biggest truck they have. I don't know the length of it. Also, if you do have to stop, what do you do once you are at the weigh station? Like how do you get weighed.
Thanks!!
