What's the best way to dispose of a body?



Uh.. hypothetically, of course.
Make sure there are no teeth left. Seriously, separate them from the mouth and pulverise those bastards. Then make sure that, if you limb the corpse, the limbs are all stored separately and ditched in various locations, after ensuring that the fingertips are removed.

You could also drop a couple weighted lines, a la deep-sea fishing, and leave them down for a couple hours. Assuming that they don't get ripped off the line, pieces will have been lost to the tides.

Just ensure that the thorax is well-perforated, to ensure that no necrotic gas brings it back up to the surface if it's taken off your line.

Oh! I got a question! ::raises hand::

What do you think of the new Arizona immigration law? If you were a cop in Arizona having to enforce such a law how do you think it would affect your job/day-to-day routine/etc?

If you haven't been following the issue or don't know enough of the facts to answer that's fine too. :) I'm just interested because I've heard so many politicians fighting on both sides about this thing, and of course heard from protesters on the news, but heard nothing from the actual cops on the street who would have to enforce the law.

The only thing that would change would be if, during the course of a legal encounter with someone (i.e. I stop them for another infraction, possibly something as minor as an equipment issue on their bike/car/motorcycle etc), I'd also ask if someone was a legal resident, and did they have their paperwork with them.

Federal law REQUIRES anyone here on a visa to carry their passport with said visa on them at all times. I really don't know what all the hullaballoo is about: Arizona's just allowing municipalities to enforce a federal law under a state code, just like I can choose to write someone here up for possession of marijuana, rather than book them under the state code.

What's your favorite comfort food? Did I already ask that? I love that question.
Spaghetti! I make some BITCHIN' spaghetti, if I do say so myself, but SOOO not healthy for you. *grins*

@OC: I got a question to bounce off the other question.

While I agree that you have to ask, but wouldn't you have to ask everyone to be fair? I mean if you just ask people who "look Hispanic" it could be racial profiling. I have some Hispanic friends who look very white. (lack of sun) I think that is the main issue that they worry some officer may just ask the "Hispanic look" but not Asian, African American, Irish, Spanish, English, etc etc.

1. What's the law you personally break most often?

If a cop is fighting a suspect, and the suspect manages to subdue him, are passerby required to help the cop (say by hitting the suspect with a car?)

The law states that if the officer has reason to believe that someone is an immigrant, they can check to verify the status. Ethnicity is not a reason to believe - a foreign accent or lack of knowledge of English, however, might give enough of an impression. Especially if you don't recognize the person.

How did you get to be so lovable and mischievous?
Uhm... clean living? *blush*

1. Speed limits. I have a HEAVY foot. Not in residential areas, though... too much chance of a kid getting in front of me.

I don't believe there's any kind of law that REQUIRES folks to help a cop having trouble with a suspect... it is a damned nice thing to do, though. Any theoretical charges that COULD arise from that could, also theoretically, be negated by the fact that the samaritan was acting in good faith to assist the officer.

Besides, who's going to let a cop duke it out by himself? Oh, wait. Boston...
(Dammit, the only version I could find was the one with the Springsteen playing *eyeroll*)
 
If you could serve on any other police force in the country what would it be? How about any other police force in the world?
 
what? Where? I mean the kicking in the nuts one!
Ah! You ninja'd me. You are legally permitted to use whatever force is REASONABLE and NECESSARY to extricate yourself from a fight. I.E. if you get jumped by someone, and your traditional kung fu isn't getting you loose, then by all means, give the dude a shot to the mean bean machine.

Just so long as you don't follow it up by monkey-stomping him, you should be kosher.

Honestly, I'd much rather be a deputy for a small county somewhere up north. You know, the kind of place where everybody knows you to see you, helps their neighbors out, and the most exciting thing I have to deal with is figuring out why the high school kids couldn't confine their senior prank to simple mischief, rather than high explosives. Here in the city, I don't like dealing with the dirties - and it jades you, dealing with them all the time.

As far as other countries? I was talking this over with my wife, actually. I want to do an exchange with the RCMP or a British Metropolitan police department. We hosted an exchange from the Israeli National Police a couple years back, which was really cool, but I'd like to see how other countries deal with the same kinds of problems, as well as problems that may be unique to their nations.
 
If another officer is doing a normal traffic stop and you come across it, are you supposed to stop too and help them out? I ask because I'll often see two or even 3 cars all on the same one car that was pulled over. I could understand it as a better safe than sorry thing, like better to make sure that car knows more than one officer is there and everything, but it also seems like time could be better spent doing other things as well.
 
Traffic stops and domestics are the two types of calls that can go very wrong, very fast. It's considered good form to stop and at least check on the other officer, to make sure no one gets hurt. An example of why this is a good policy to patrol by can be found with those two officers in Tampa who were shot and killed by a thug with a warrant who was in the car.

Sometimes, though, we're just that bored, and the lone traffic stop is the only thing in the area. *chuckles*
 
Mind = blown. It was still surreal when she was coming out, but the first moment I felt her soft skin, her fingers wrapped around my finger, it was real. Everything hit home, and all the worries I've had for weeks just disappeared.
 
AmE: Heh, not really. I rarely have a camera on-hand, let alone a video camera. Instead, I forsee myself WRITING a lot more to document stuff...
