Introductory Episode

Just a quick intro episode to get the podcasting ball rolling.

Bear with us as we get all the details for the show and the details for equipment and any technical details worked out. Please feel free to help us out by submitting your questions on our website in the Ask a Cop? Section and we will be adding those questions to our upcoming shows.

Thanks for all the support over the years and we are looking forward to using this new avenue to get our thoughts on your questions to you in a format other than just the website. We are looking to be published on itunes in the next week or two depending on their current approval schedule.

Till then Stay Safe!

13 Things Your Burglar Won’t Tell You

1.  Of course I look familiar. I was here just last week cleaning your carpets, painting your shutters, or delivering your new refrigerator.

2. Hey, thanks for letting me use the bathroom when I was working in your yard last week. While I was in there, I unlatched the back window to make my return a little easier.

3. Love those flowers. That tells me you have taste … and taste means there are nice things inside. Those yard toys your kids leave out always make me wonder what type of gaming system they have.

4. Yes, I really do look for newspapers piled up on the driveway. And I might leave a pizza flyer in your front door to see how long it takes you to remove it.

5. If it snows while you’re out of town, get a neighbor to create car and foot tracks into the house. Virgin drifts in the driveway are a dead giveaway.

6. If decorative glass is part of your front entrance, don’t let your alarm company install the control pad where I can see if it’s set. That makes it too easy.

7. A good security company alarms the window over the sink. And the windows on the second floor, which often access the master bedroom-and your jewelry. It’s not a bad idea to put motion detectors up there too.

8. It’s raining, you’re fumbling with your umbrella, and you forget to lock your door-understandable. But understand this: I don’t take a day off because of bad weather.

9.. I always knock first. If you answer, I’ll ask for directions somewhere or offer to clean your gutters. (Don’t take me up on it.)

10. Do you really think I won’t look in your sock drawer? I always check dresser drawers, the bedside table, and the medicine cabinet.

Ask a Cop?: Humor and the traffic stop?

—–Original Message—– 
Sent: Friday, February 19, 2010 9:49 PM
To: info@coptalk.info
Subject: Speeding Ticket

I was pulled over for speeding. The cop commented that I am setting a bad example as a Christian because my license plate read "Christians aren’t perfect just forgiven by a God who is" -he proceeded in questioning my faith and Christianity. Is that ok to Judge, belittle, or put me down.

_______________________________________________________

If he was just trying to be humorous in the beginning, that’s one thing. People are often nervous or angry about being pulled over and some officers (including myself) make jokes or comments at times to ease the tension or fear. Usually people appreciate a cop with a sense of humor. But if he was clearly questioning your faith and taking it too far in your opinion, then no, it is not right. If you feel strongly that the officer went too far, you can call the department and ask to speak to a supervisor to discuss the incident or you can file a formal complaint at the police department.

Ask a Cop?: Probation

—–Original Message—–
From: Tim

To: info@coptalk.info
Subject: Probation Information

I have been charged with a Class B misdemeanor. Is it legal for me to carry a unloaded, open action, rifle in my truck while on probation?

_____________________________________________________

Sadly this is a hard one to give you a proper answer for:

Terms of probation are all different and a lot depends on the original charge. While normally carrying a non-concealed unloaded firearm is legal in some states, it may violate the terms of your probation. You’ll have to check with your probation officer to get the answer to that one.

Sadly you will need to ask locally as it is so different from state to state..and even county and county.
