Yes, it is a complete waste of time and I know more than a few officers who would take the gun and cut the person loose. There are, however, officers who would arrest the person. I am just repeating what I have been told by numerous IMPD officers and their experiences in Marion County. If there...
Well if they showed up at the gun store knowing that the stolen guns were purchased by the gun store without any knowledge of them being stolen, then I do not know why they would arrest anyone at the gun store. It would be a waste of time for the officer to arrest anyone and complete the...
The prosecutor filing charges and someone getting arrested are two separate issues. I believe the point being made here was if you are stopped and found to be in possession of a stolen handgun you may end up being arrested. However, as it has been pointed out, since you had no knowledge of the...
Was she continuing to gain weight, or was she having trouble losing weight? I don't disagree that it can be difficult for someone with a hormonal imbalance to lose weight. However, I don't believe that a 200 pound child got to be 200 pounds simply because he has a hormonal imbalance. Like I...
I understand your point. However, in my opinion, it would be a waste of time for me to record an encounter which I am not part of and have no interest in. Insurance is a waste of money until I need it. I don't really need a gun until I need it. I was not saying that you might not end up...
I was not trying to make it out to be quite that simple. My point was, if it was possible for the human body to magically create energy (fat cells) we would have evolved as a species to take advantage of this trait and would no longer need to waste time and energy searching for food. If this...
I would say they need to find something better to do if that is the case. Not to mention the fact that the vast majority of the time the only thing they will see is an officer approach the car which has been stopped, speak with the driver, return to his/her police car, approach the driver again...
After observing a lot of people from all different professions handle weapons I think it would be better if they just left it at home in the first place. A loaded gun that you are not familiar with can be a dangerous thing, regardless of who is holding it. Actually, a lot of things that you are...
Severe hypothyroidism may lead to a change in metabolic rate, but it doesn't force an individual to consume more calories than he/she can burn. Humans are constant metabolizers. In other words, we are constantly burning calories regardless of what we are doing. Upwards of 70% of total energy...
In a perfect world a police officer could assume everyone is a good guy and no one is going to attempt to hurt him/her. However, in a perfect world there would be no need for police. EVERY officer should approach EVERY traffic stop as if the person they are stopping is going to cause them harm...
I find it hard to believe this statement, as it is very general. The same general statement could be made in reference to any other group of people. The law enforcement community is made up of individuals from the greater community. Thus, you will find police officers who are anti gun and you...
Still others obey because they fear the consequences of disobedience. This is the neighbor who says, “If I deny the authority of the State when it presents its tax-bill, it will soon take and waste all my property, and so harass me and my children without end.” Thoreau knows that his...
