Negative. If I had, said-named canard would not have had the opportunity to escape.Have you met LeQuack?
I've got a few pics of my Iron Warriors and custom Space Marine chapter lurking aboot... gotta resize them tho. I'm also building up a Sisters force and an IG regiment - bought out my FLGS's legacy minis, so I'm fielding a "Regiment of Remnants"-type deal. Once I have enough painted up to justify it, I'll snap some shots.Hey, nice to see another 40K player on the board. Should share some pics of your mini's and talk about what armies you play

They are some awesome minis, and examples of ways to do pewter right. That being said, I would love to see some new ones come out. If word on the jungle drums is right, 2010 might be my year for it...If I wasn't a Daemon player I'd so be painting up the SOB armies. Thoe models look so sweet!
Very cool!
Not as weird as you might think. *wry grin* Not since becoming a cop, oddly enough. Although my wife was there for the very beginning of it, so maybe she was bored with it?DI, I love you.
I have a weird question--has someone you dated ever asked you to wear your uniform during private time?
Also, what book can you read over and over?
Who makes you laugh the most?
What movie touches you the most?
Never been shot at... got into a fight with a dude who drew a knife... on my 3 partners and myself. *headdesk*
Good to have you hear man. Bring the power of the law!
Questions... hmmm...
Ever been shot at?
I had never had 'em before I came down here. A roommate of mine (who happened to be a trained chef - much win was had) whipped up a batch with some seasoning - awesomesauce. I've been a fan ever since.Boiled peanuts! woo!
No question. I just love boiled peanuts and you can't get them in michigan.
Warm and happy would probably be "40 Days and 40 Nights," because the character felt real, but he still managed to get the girl in the end, despite temptation.Hm, ok...
What movie makes you feel all warm and happy?
What movie makes you feel saddest?
I've met Paula Deen, working security for a book signing she did. She is a fake, egomaniacal hack who makes her living hocking overpriced food that is the same that you can get at any Shoney's or Cracker Barrel. She is so in love with herself it's not even funny.Is Paula Dean's accent annoying to you?
Why are Vidalia onions so awesome?

Sorry, mon ami.You have no idea how sad this makes me.
At least I can still believe that Alton Brown is a good guy... and don't anyone dare say otherwise.
I appreciate the recognition that you could be trolling, and your deflection of it. Well played, sirrah.Who would win in a fight, a police officer from Georgia, or a Canadian mountie?
I am in no way trying to instigate trouble.

Is...Is that a requirement to be allowed on the Angel2200 group? Either way, I'm starting to like this new group of members more by the minute :-DStarship Troopers. A Fantastic socio-political commentary that reveals new layers to me every time I read it.
Whoa, that sucks. I get shit on all the time while in my normal GD uniform, but when I put on the serge, it's nothing but the utmost of respect from anyone I come in contact with.I'll say the same thing I did when I got spat on at a Toys for Tots collection event, whilst wearing my dress blues:.
We don't have tazers on my department... yet. It goes: commands, hands, spray, baton, gun. Depending on their actions, that little chain might get shuffled around a bit.Don't taze him, bro! Well, taze him a little bit.
There have been a couple people who have stood out, for various reasons. One thing I have noticed is that there is (generally) a high level of maturity on these forums. Very little 'Sperger-wannabes here. As for people in particular... well, I've slept since last night. *wry chuckle* Give me a little bit to shuffle through again. Espy (Epsy?) stood out tho, for his restraint in deploying the banhammer during a debate. Until it was justified.While sifting through the forums, which members stood out to you the most, and why?
Ooh-rah, devil! I enlisted October 31st, 2001. Shipped to the Island November 25th, 2001. Plt 1010, B Co, 1 Battalion. I was an 0811 (Field Artillery Cannoneer) for the first little bit, then I became a 3100 (Basic Traffic Marine) - I was SUPPOSED to be sent to training to be a 3112 (Traffic Management Office), but you know how it is with paperwork. I finished my stint as a Corporal, due to high cutting scores/MOS lock while I was in. That and I had an issue with pull-ups... *wry smile*Semper Fi, brother! Good to have another Former on the boards!
Welcome, young man.
When did you enlist, when did you go through boot and what was your MOS?
Hrm... Well, my obvious answer is Angels 2200 (pimp, pimp), as I feel that the story has great potential as a sci-fi feature. As for others... I think Least I Could Do would rock as a TV mini series - live action possibly could work. I haven't had a chance to see any of the work that they've done on it to that end, tho. MegaTokyo would work BETTER as a movie than the format it's in right now, I think, as the story covers so many people over such widely varying arcs. Girl Genius would ROCK. OUT. LOUD.As for a question, what webcomic do you think needs to be amde into a feature length film, and why?
Paula Deen uses her Agoraphobia (which sometimes alleges she's gotten over) as an excuse to dump on her fans, and cut and run. And yes, her overly played accent grates. NOONE local talks with an accent that strong - and that's including folks from a couple counties over, where dirt roads are more prevalent than paved.Ugh. Paula Dean has the southerner's fake southern accent. That one a person from the south will layer on top of a real southern accent for show. I hate that.
Also, do you feel that Charon has lost some of its glory with the demotion of Pluto?

I've heard a LOT of good things about the series - all of them - from fellow shield-bearers, but have yet to watch an episode. Probably need to rectify that.Ha!
Do you watch any of the Law and Order shows?

Still haven't seen the new movie, although that's merely from lack of grabbing it at the store than from an aversion to it.You and I see eye to eye on Star Wars/Star Trek. Though, I really loved the new movie.
You a Falcons fan? If not, are you into the NFL?
Southern hockey represent! I'm a Predators fan. How would you change the NHL as it is now, if at all? Assume you're super-god-commish for lifeF$ck the Falcons. When I follow NFL at all, I'm a 49ers fan. I tend towards NHL when I watch sports at all, tho.
while I don't feel sorry for that particular guy, I wonder how many innocent get frame for it or something (you hear stories and such - I know that guy wasn't innocent) but you get the idea what I am trying ask/say... I hope.GOD they make it hard to be a cop! Protecting the stupid and those who use supposed ignorance. This guy had been through the justice system before and knew he could have a lawyer. Now it's just a matter of not wanting to pay the price for his committing a crime and wasting the court's time and OUR money in the process.
I think unsuccessful appeals should add to the sentence of the person. The higher the appeal, the worse the penalty should be. A successful appeal should lessen any sentence regardless of whether it gets overturned on appeal or not. This massive backlog over never-ending appeals needs to be cut out now.
Ahh, Miranda - Hollywood has made you the bane of many a peacefull arrest. Most people are under the impression that as soon as I read Miranda, you are under arrest. Also, they believe that they can't be under arrest if I DON'T read Miranda. Neither of which is true.ooo I got a question (well since I read this article today)
http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2009/12/07/supremecourt/main5927595.shtml
they are talking about lawyers and miranda rights. So, if I break my silence, can I go back into silence and don't say anything until my lawyer is present?
Having never seen Castle, I can't comment on it... I'll say that 3rd Watch comes the closest to anything that I've seen, but that might just be because my perspective's only from a Patrol standpoint...Which cop show (TV or movie) do YOU think is closest to reality?
If you say Castle I'm becoming a writer.
Too damned much time on the ice. Don't you hate when you go to see a fight, and some hockey breaks out?Southern hockey represent! I'm a Predators fan. How would you change the NHL as it is now, if at all? Assume you're super-god-commish for life
Savannah is becoming a college town, and one of the larger colleges here is SCAD - Savannah College of Art and Design. One of my buddies has a friend who goes here, and for this student's design project, he came up with an all-inclusive sidearm that's pretty close to what I would like.If you could design your own sidearm from scratch, what would it be like? Phaser technology, thingamajigs and such are allowed.
I haven't ever sat down and watched Law and Order, but every other person in law enforcement I've talked to says it's pretty good to go, albeit with a flair for the dramatic. As opposed to something like CSI, where we don't need anyone else on the department: Forensics takes care of everything! *rolls eyes*On the flip side, every cop I know complains about Hollywood's depiction of Miranda rights.
Do you watch Law and Order? My wife loves it (she's a cop). In fact, there used to be a Tivo commercial with a cop who gave all these reasons for needing a Tivo related to the stress of work. At the end, an off-screen interviewer says, "So what do you like to watch?" "Mostly cop shows." So true. Anyway, I ask because they're pretty good about that stuff. They've specifically addressed the whole miranda issue and a bad guy "lawyers up" requiring the interview to stop at least once/episode. Of course, add about 30 lbs of over-the-top drama, too.
No. I've kept my hair short since joining the military for a reason - when it's longer, I get CRAZY white-boy afro action. Seriously, Napoleon Dynamite has NOTHING on what my 'do can do. Back in high school, I used to keep pencils in there, and would occasionally lose them... I think my fro ate them. Scarfy stuff.New question....would you ever grow your hair long, even on a bet?

Of COURSE the lawyer doesn't want anyone talking to the police: he doesn't want his case getting shredded!What's your opinion of this little video?
I haven't, but after 9000 hours of searching on Google, and reading the basic storyline behind it, I believe I shall go to Barnes and Noble and utilize my gift card that my wifey got me for my birthday. Sounds very good!Have you read The Onion Field?

Ha! Classic! I love Chris Rock. And, despite the farce of the sketch, he brings up a very good point - you get what you give, with the police. If you give attitude, while you might not get an ass-kicking, the stop is less likely to go well for you. Honesty, honesty, honesty! If you lie to me, I will do everything in my power to damage you, legally speaking. If you attempt to conceal anything that might hurt me... it might not go well for you... *evil grin*My question to Ofc. Charon:
What do you think of this video?
Even though I get the feeling that this is a forum in-joke... yes? More wavy than curly, but it's so thick, the difference gets to be non-existent.*gasp*
Are you... naturally curly?!
I own (sort of... long story) a Harley Sportster 883. Its a small bike, but it's my first one. I have to keep it with my parents in Alabama, though - I don't have a garage to keep it in down here, and there's no way in hell I'd leave a motorcycle unsecured in my neighborhood. Bike theft is one of the biggies down here, right now... I only get to ride once every other month or so, and not terribly far. It sucks so bad.Hello! I see a motorcycle in your avatar. Do you ride often? What's your favorite bike and which ones do you/did you own?
I carry a Glock 21 - .45 caliber. I'm a righty, which tends to mean that my right side gets weighted down easily. I need to work on my ambidexterity, but it's tough, because my department doesn't have its own range to practice on. As for long guns, shotguns are available only to those who pass the training for them, and there are a limited number per precinct. M4s and the like are reserved for SWAT officers, which I disagree with, but what can you do? When long guns are carried, they are toted in the trunk of the duty vehicle.What kind of sidearm do you carry and are you right-handed/left-handed? Also, how does your department handle things like longarms? Is it policy to keep them in the trunk?
The Glocks are standard. If you qualify high enough (98%+), they will permit you to attempt to qualify with a 1911. There's only a few guys who are /k/ enough to want to follow through like that - most are happy with how easy the Glock is to field-strip and maintain.Is the Glock department standard, or personal preference?
Ah, but were I to be asked what I want to be asked, then you would already know the answer. I think... maybe... never wax pseudo-philosophical when sleep-depped.If you could be asked anything, what would you want to be asked?
OH MAN I HOPE YOU DON'T SEE WHERE THIS IS GOING!
Not nearly as many as I could have. I usually don't bother with marijuana - I'll just make you dump it out and send you on your way, if it's not felony-weight, or packaged for distribution (i.e. if circumstances and other evidence lead me to believe that you've been slinging, not if you've just come from purchasing, with it still wrapped up.) Marijuana is, I believe, nowhere near as harmful as its made out to be. Unfortunately, I believe that the PURSUIT of marijuana leads to other, more major crimes like burglary and robbery (several homes that we respond to for burglaries "neglect" to tell us EVERYTHING that is taken - usually it's just inordinately large amounts of cash)How many people have you arrested for Marijuana?
Many times. I'm blessed/cursed with a strong sense of empathy. It allows me to see many sides of a person's circumstances, and allows me a VERY broad sense of judgement when I make my call to arrest/not arrest. If I can stroke a citation instead, odds are likely I'll do that.Have you ever felt bad for arresting someone?
Define "Gray Area." It depends on which field of crime you're talking about. Is it drug crime, other vice crime, violent crime, financial crime, or other crime?Are there laws you feel are in the "gray area" and feel uneasy about upholding?
No, because that would be a bad arrest. I get sued for making bad arrests - ergo, I do not make bad arrests.If Marijuana was legal by state law, would you still arrest someone?
I have never heard of ANY department handing out quotas. I'm actually a soft touch - the only things I WILL cite for, guaranteed, are red light and school zone violations. I am sick and tired of riding accidents where one person thought they could beat the light and failed.Have you ever given out tickets just to meet a quota?
I plead the fifth! *chuckles* No, seriously though... the minor traffic infractions that I catch myself doing, I don't hold against people. Unless I need a PC stop on someone for something else, I will probably never write a turn signal ticket, for example.Have you ever broken a law you have given someone else a ticket for and gotten away with it?
Not at all. Most are genuinely curious about the life, and ask all kinds of questions. Much like here.Are any of your non-military, non-police friends afraid to discuss some things with you?
Profiling is a dangerous term, a media buzzword that tends to get snapped up by people without fully understanding what it means.How often do you profile?
Not really... hang on, I'll check my most recent ticket book (4 left, I believe)You you give more tickets to men than women?
Never. I can't allow myself to be placed in a position where my integrity will be called into question like that. Integrity is EVERYTHING as a law enforcement officer. If I lose my integrity, then everything I have ever done in this profession gets called into question. It's just too important. I can't even BEGIN to stress this enough.How many times have you not given a ticket because a woman was pretty?
My cats. My hobbies. My taste in movies and music. I'm still me - I just wear a badge and carry a gun and cuffs, that's all.Do you have anything in your life that isn't affected by you being a cop?
Here they're called the Office of Professional Standards. They have a tough row to hoe. It's not easy when the vast majority of the department looks on you distrustingly, wondering when you're going to pounce. The reality is, they really don't come down on people often. We get complained on every day, by people who don't understand why we do what we do. Sometimes, it's racially motivated (I was at a scene where three ladies were squawking because a fellow officer chased their nephew into their house, because the officer was attempting to stop him, and the guy thought that if he ran inside, he was safe. These ladies cussed and fussed until my sergeant arrived, whereupon it was "Oh, a black officer. FINALLY someone with some sense." That's a direct quote. *scoffs*), sometimes it's because people on the outside don't see that the suspect just took a swing at three officers before they started tussling, and is actively trying to escape the officers attempting to restrain him. Very rarely is a complaint founded.How do you feel about Internal Affairs?
I might... I honestly don't feel that's the best place for me right now. I need more street time. My instincts aren't what they could be, and the only thing to get them better is experience.Would you ever want to transfer to Internal Affairs?
I can honestly say that I never have. I work with a very professional watch. I've heard others talking about things that I've felt were perhaps a little sketchy, even though the bust was still good.Have you ever caught a fellow cop being less than straight with the laws?
I tend not to trust overly what people en masse vote for, because I believe that people vote bread and circuses too much, any more. However, the Constitution is a fine document, well-entrenched in law (and getting further dug in, every day! ), and serves this nation well.Other than me not trusting any police officer, while at the same time trying to go under the radar, I think we should get a long fine. =]
Being a police officer is hard, and I have no sympathy for those that can't make good decisions, and those that follow blindly.
That said, if you follow the constitution and believe in what the people vote for, I don't see why I should blame you for being a cop.
What I see is, aside from not having insurance, a cop following a woman who had done apparently nothing wrong and pouncing on any small reason to pull her over. Then she tickets her for no insurance. I understand that she broke the law, but from what was given she wasn't hurting anybody. Maybe she didnt have the money for insurance but still needed to drive to work. Now she's got a chunk of her money gone to pay for a ticket.I know this is Charon's thread, but being married to a cop, I have to jump in on a few things.
I'll give you another example. I rode along with my wife once. We're on a major road, and she says, "I'm going to stop this person." The car was ordinary looking, and I saw nothing different or wrong. But she knew. She had developed an intuition about it, just like everyone does about their own work. Sure enough, we watched as the car peeled off from in front of us and pretended to buy gas, apparently oblivious to the fact that we could see they weren't pumping. Eventually, the nervous driver made a driving error and we stopped her. Sure enough, she had no insurance. Minor, but my wife knew just from watching her that something was wrong (an ordinary looking white woman, btw.)
Does quite a bit actually, and was demanded by the populace in fact. That region of the state was virtually plagued by people causing accidents and then pulling out their pockets and shrugging when it came time to fix the other person's car. Then guess who has to foot the bill? Did you take that extra expensive uninsured motorist premium from your insurer? In point of fact, it was public outcry that caused the department to crack down hard on that particular offense.Good answers. =]

How is that helping the general populace?
Really?How is that helping the general populace?
I can't speak for my department, but as for myself I remember hearing about Sheriff Arpaio, when he first starting putting prisoners in what basically amounted to P.O.W. camps, and I approved that. I agree with chain gangs and having prisoners work as a condition of their sentencing, rather than live in what amounts to a gated community with a rather feral population.Question wise, You're probably not close enough to ever hear about him but what does your department think of Sheriff Joe Arpaio, should you have heard of him.
Hrm.... there's not too many uniformed officers in popular culture - most tend to be detectives, because most writers can make an episode out of a case or two, rather than patrol's P.O.V. That's why I liked Third Watch so much.What popular culture police officer do you most identify with? And the least?
It'd be awesome, but the only musical talent I seem to have would be vocals, and that only within a specific range. *grins*Have you ever dreamed of being in a band?
What a loaded series of questions.How do you feel about the US current regulations on weapons?
How do you feel about children?
The cop would be able to, but only at the request of the property manager. Make enough complaints, and it should happen.Ok, so could a cop just wandering by ticket this guy for parking here?
Don't hit the brakes... make a gradual slowdown. The asshole tailgater will either slow, thus reducing his risk against the populace, or he might rear-end you in a controlled collision (versus striking you at high speed whilst you're stopped. Sir Isaac Newton is NOT your friend...), in which case, he gets an at-fault accident, and you gon' get PAIIIIIID... But don't cross over the line. If, God forbid, someone's walking there, or you lose control, you are at fault.Is it proper to use the shoulder of the road to slow down to make a right hand turn?
I do it all the time when I get off a 70 mph highway to turn onto the county road that I live off of. I know I should not cross the white stripe, but I also don't want to go hitting my brakes randomly when I am being tailgated at 75 mph.
If the officer asks, let him know. It's in the trunk, so it's not something you can get at easily. I suspect that OK has some reasonable gun laws. You don't need to volunteer the information, really. An officer can't search your trunk, even incident to an arrest, anyways. It requires a search warrant, or your consent. If you GIVE consent, make sure to let them know that it's there, so they don't overreact, or act like you've done something wrong in order to get you nervous. Some officers do that, I'm ashamed to admit.What's the best way to handle having a gun in the trunk when you are pulled over?
My family has a pretty extensive collection, and we often have one in the trunk (usually a shotgun). Should I not say anything unless the officer asks or should I volunteer the info? I feel like since I haven't done anything wrong, I should just keep my mouth shut, but I don't want to freak the cop out either, and have to deal with a gun pointed at me.
Just curious.
Also, thanks for putting your life on the line for us. I mean that sincerely.
Are you talking about the recent Supreme Court decision, that starts setting specific boundaries? I'm not sure how I feel about that... on the one hand, they've negated a lot of municipal authority to BAN gun ownership, but they've opened up the door to some stringent limitations.How do you feel about the US current regulations on weapons?
How do you feel about children?
I tend to - big dimples and all that - but really that's my attempt to set the tone of my post. A little non-verbal inflection, if you will, because you can only do so much with text.Do you really grin and chuckle as much as your posts suggest? *grin*
Oh, you mean those things that ignorant luddites and teenyboppers over-used when they first hit the internet? Those? *sticks out tongue*HAVE YOU NOT HEARD OF EMOTICONS, DAMMIT!?
Thanks much! Also, I've heard of Axe Cop, and I think it's pure, refined genius. I think there should be more creative projects just like it.I think it's cute.
Officer, do you like Axe Cop?

Were I to head to the Land Down Under (pun intended, due to that situation), I would most definitely like to meet this friend of yours...Have you ever been to Australia? If you are planning a trip down there I have someone you should stop and say hello to.
Thanks! I'm currently nervous as a long-tailed cat in a room full of rocking-chairs, but I appreciate the words of support. *grins*Congrats on the Baby OC!!
I'm sure you'll be a great daddy n_n
On the one hand, after doing a QUICK review of the case, I can see where he thinks that his daughter should have the right to say what she wants, without interference from the school. On the other hand, the wonderful thing about the First Amendment is that, while you have the right to voice your opinion, you must also be willing to accept the consequences of doing that.YouTube - CohenCohenLaw's Channel
This guy really pisses me off. He supports his daughter's "right" to be a complete and totally worthless human being and then posts the video of his daughter harrassing a classmate for the world to see.
About how mean can I get before I get unis knocking on my door with a warrant?
Ehh heh heh... *scratches the back of his head* Ya caught me. I do that all the time when I'm riding with my wife. Mind you, it's just idle. The only time I'd go into "cop mode" is when there's actually something going on. Normally, I'm still myself when I'm at work, by which I mean I'm still the geeky, slightly socially-awkward guy. However, when the time comes to deal with the dirties, the "game face" gets turned on.Do you have a hard time hanging up the hat when you're off-duty or are you in cop mode pretty much all the time?
My dad was a cop before switching to firefighting, and he still points out cars/people that he would have pulled over.
Apart from the Corps, Boy Scout stuff from three different countries, and that's about it. Was never really a very physically-motivated person.what training did you have before pursuing cop-ness?
what training do you wish you had earlier in pursuing cop-ness?
what training (if any) did you find useless in pursuing cop-ness?
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.What's the best way to dispose of a body?
Uh.. hypothetically, of course.

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.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.
Spaghetti! I make some BITCHIN' spaghetti, if I do say so myself, but SOOO not healthy for you. *grins*What's your favorite comfort food? Did I already ask that? I love that question.
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.@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.
Uhm... clean living? *blush*How did you get to be so lovable and mischievous?
1. Speed limits. I have a HEAVY foot. Not in residential areas, though... too much chance of a kid getting in front of me.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?)
Already answered yours, dude. *grins*What, my question's not good enough for you? T_T
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.what? Where? I mean the kicking in the nuts one!
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.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?
