What Would Happen To Me If The Police Found Me At A Potentially Violent Protest Intoxicated With

What is the scariest experience you've ever had as a police officer?

I had the bejesus scared out of me one time.I was answering a silent burglar alarm at a funeral home in the middle of the night and had no backup. It took awhile to get there and not being fond of funeral homes since I was a kid my mind was going over all kinds of crazy scenarios such as caskets opening.When I arrived I found the rear door opened and of course the business was closed. My backup was about 20 minutes away and we were very busy so I decided to go in and “take a look see.”I was already creeped out and when I got inside there was not even a night light on. After being inside for about 5 minutes I heard a loud noise that sounded like a coffin slamming shut in a back room. I was not going to admit that I had a fear of funeral parlors so I investigated myself.Lo and behold I saw movement on top of an opened casket and really couldn’t see what it was but I was convinced someone had arisen from the dead and had sat up in a casket.Turns out it was the owner of the funeral parlor doing some hanky-panky on a body in the casket. I ended up arresting him for Necrophilia and in turn the licensing board revoked his license to operate funeral parlors.

Is there a potential civil war brewing in the United States after President Trump oath of office?

Absolutely not. Civil wars usually entail violent confrontations between two rival groups. In the last few decades, they also entail genocides, sexual violence and other horrible things. Despite the protests, there isn’t an organized armed militia (which is usually required for a civil war) to oppose President Trump. In fact, the protests have been peaceful and civilized. So don’t worry, there won’t be a civil warThe Janjaweed militia during War in Darfur.

What protects a guy against a false rape accusation?

First of all, let me say that I'm sorry that you have to think about this in this way in this day and age.  Some day, humanity will look back on this period of time and scratch their heads in wonderment at discrimination.  Secondly, your worries are based on the fact that you are different races, and not anything else.  I don't want to minimize your fear, but I don't think it's really justified.Rape is nothing more than sex that is not consensual (minors can't consent, so that's why statutory rape is also sex that is not consensual).  Consensual comes from the word "consensus," which means agreement between all parties.  As long as your sex is consensual, you're good.There are some practical things you can do to avoid even the possibility of sex that is not consensual:Avoid drunk sex.  If you're drinking, you have diminished capacity to consent.  So anything that might diminish her (or your) capacity to consent should be avoided.Try to get verbal consent before you start.  The "yes means yes" movement on college campuses is seeking to change the burden of proof from the accuser to the accused.  Under the law, however, you are still innocent until proven guilty, and in most states, the guy has to use force or threat of force, or the girl has to be completely incapacitated in order for it to be rape.  That doesn't make the concept behind "yes means yes" bad.  Affirmative consent (not just the absence of "no") is a positive step in protecting yourself.  And it doesn't need to be anything more than "Is this okay?" "Yes."  That's it.  That's positive consent.Yeah, the video is totally cheesy.  But you get the idea.Could she totally lie and accuse you of rape, accuse you of never seeking consent, in the exact opposite manner in which it actually happened?  I suppose she could.  But unlike college campuses, real world rape, in a court of law, still has to be proven: Did she try to resist?  Are there defensive wounds?  Did anyone else hear it?  What did she do afterwards?  Did she call the police?  Did she visit the hospital?  Did she talk to a girlfriend?  Did anyone see bruising?  Is there any physical evidence at all?  Were they dating (not to minimize date rape, but it plays into whether or not there may have actually been consent)?Again, it's sad that you have to think this way.  But the realities of modern life in the United States always have to be kept in mind.

What should I know before I call the police? What are the officers going to do when they get here? How can I expect them to investigate? What will they need? How can I expedite things? Do they have the authority to do anything in this situation?

This question, as asked, can only be answered one way:It depends.Sorry, but that's about as much of a direct answer that anyone can give you.It all depends on:   1. What kind of incident is occurring (you'll get more officers quicker for a shooting than a loud party};   2.  Department policies (are officers prohibited from running with lights and sirens for non-violent calls?);   3.  The officer(s) involved (I like to run with my siren on to fights -- I want them finished fighting when I arrive.   Other officers like to roll up quietly so they can break up the fight themselves);   4.  What else is going on at the time (some shifts, you can wait for an hour or more on a fairly serious matter, just because all officers are already tied up on other calls.  This also affects how long an officer may be able to stay on-scene for non-violent, no-known-suspect calls);About the only specific thing I'll say is that if you're going to be a good citizen / involved witness / reporting person, police will ask you for a statement of what you saw happen.  This will also include your name, date of birth, home address, phone number, and (maybe) where you work or go to school.

What is the hardest part of being a police officer?

What is the parameter of measuring the hardest? Though myself not being a police officer, my dad is in the service for 34 long years and talking to him brings me close to the ruthless terms of the service. Even the former President of India, Mr. Pranab Mukherjee has admitted that the Indian Police works in hardest of the situations, day and night.I think making such a remark by him would have been inspired from the following facts:Firstly, a life risking job with so many enemies. You as a police officer has to involve with the dirtiest strata of the society which no one wants to encounter. The work profile of a police officer includes taking violent attacks head on, sometimes even armed attacks.No holidays even when the whole nation celebrates festivals and hence no scope of them being with their families. My father has celebrated Diwali with us just twice while in service.Constant pressures from superiors and ministers, sometimes immoral.In communal volatile areas, they have to be alert and patrol day and night compromising sleep for days. Its true. And even then, if a law and order situation breaks out, they again can not sleep.Extreme politicisation has made the working of police miserable, especially the lower rank officers. They might have to face protest from extreme foolish people and then even can be suspended or sent on a punishment transfer if a single mistake is made on the side of police.Last but not least, the psychological challenges faced by the officers investigating heinous crimes is not realised by many. My father had investigated a double murder of a husband and wife which later turned out to have been committed by their own son. Further interrogating him, he realised that he had no regrets over his acts. My father had gone an emotional breakdown for a month after the completion of the case. Many other officers suffer loneliness, depression, anxiety disorders, etcHence, it can not be denied that the complete work profile of a police person is very difficult inter alia. They are not respected in Indian society for some reasons obviously one of them is being rude, but we should understand that its their involvement with the dirt of the society that make them rude eventually. After all talking to lethal criminals in flowery language will not serve the purpose of their existence.

When a police officer pulls you over and you drive into your own driveway, what will the police do?

I was a Garda (Policeman) in Ireland. I arrested a drunk driver just as he was opening the door of his house. I had observed his driving for about 5 minutes on the public road, he then pulled into his driveway which was about 100m long. I was of the opinion he was too drunk to drive having observed his driving and the erratic manner of his driving. He had refused to stop on the public road despite lights and sirens being on. I had the training, and especially the experience, to make that decision and that was upheld in Court. Convicted him of the offence, he appealed and lost his appeal.So to answer the question - what will the Police do? What they are paid to do - enforce the law. Being in your own driveway having been first flagged to stop on the public road will not protect you. In Ireland, and I expect the UK, the doctrine of ‘hot pursuit’ applies.On another occasion I was called to a traffic collision. The injured party told me the offender had left the scene and he saw him going into his house less than 20m away. He knew him and described him to me in detail. I called to the offenders house and was met by the person described to me. I asked was anyone else in the house and he said no and invited me to check - YEHAYY, legally on his private property - score. In the house I informed him of what happened and I observed him. His speech, demeanour, smell, breath and stance told me he was drunk. He said he had had a beer, I asked how much and he showed me a half drank bottle, while staring at me. I then arrested him for drink driving. He then told me to get out, but because I was in the house following his invite, and I had arrested him before he told me to leave, I was within my powers. I convicted him, not of drink driving, but of a similar offence of frustrating an offence of drink driving. As simply as I can put it, a suspect has an obligation to co-operate, whether under arrest or not and if they fail to comply with lawful procedures/demands/obligations, or does something, either by taking a drink or drugs, pretending not to understand, failing/refusing to co-operate, running away or any other act that would frustrate or interfere with his legal obligations to comply with anything that might be required to prove, or disprove, an offence of drink driving. A very useful piece of legislation.Again no protection for being on your own property.
