Cheating death and fighting communism: that is how a fellow officer once described our job. It was meant to be funny, but as time went on it seemed all too true.

I spent more than ten years in law enforcement, all of it on the street in uniform patrol. I've been a patrol officer, instructor, sergeant and lieutenant.

Do not report crimes here. Nothing here should be considered legal advice. All opinions are my own.

I don't know.  Contact the agency you are interested in and talk to their recruiter about your situation.

If while driving through the intersection a person's front wheels were past the stop line when the light turned red, is that breaking the traffic law (running a red light)?

Asked by RH almost 12 years ago

It depends on the state's laws.  Some states yes, others no. Additionally, red light cameras typically operate under a different set of laws in each state.  The rules for mailing tickets may be substantially different from on view violaions observed by a police officer.  So, you may or may not get a ticket mailed to you.  I really dont know.  Call the police department in question if it is really bothering you.

Just want to say thanks for your answers. Yeah I know the police and military are smart despite the stereotypes (which might just exist where I live.) I really want to be a navy officer but I don't know if that'll work out because of my asthma.

Asked by Phillip over 12 years ago

The Navy is a good way to go.  My family has had at least one man in the US Navy continuously since 1943.  You definitely want to talk to a recruiter about the asthma, but I don't think it would bar you from service.
