Let me try this again.

Hey all I'm a 'nOOb' as you put it. I do not do well with first impressions and I may have started out the wrong way in the first place, won't be the first time.
I have posted a couple of threads that may have offended or disturbed.
"have you ever been kicked out"-"Ladies preference c or p" and one or two others.

General introduction 34 yo WM- a cop in Miami looking to relocate to the west coast. I was an art and sociology major at a local university that sucks.
In art I focused on photography and sculpture mostly steel.

I thought the best way for you to get to know me would be to answer questions about myself. It may not be original but it works well. I know i am opening myself up for the feeding frenzy but i have thick skin. So i will get the first ones out of the way."who gives a shit"- "who the hell are you" blah blah blah

Don't worry about it, Miami cops are known for their eloquence

i got six arms, man!

not for nothing but... its 'n00b'

So the tell me about the phone-book trick....is true that it doesnt leave a mark?

Richard Simmons

Thanks.

that was so good. so very, very good.

As long as you don't hit them with a corner sort of.

anytime, thats what im here for.

i actually had more after that, usefull tidbits about posting and crap...but i got lazy and distracted by something shiny.

I'm sure all cops have to have thick skin.

here's a question for ya: drug war... yes or no?

Thank you, any questions.

Follow-up question.
So its just the phone-book do you use a nightstick with it?
I've heard different versions...just wanted to hear from the pros.

I think we should legalize everything and put the money spent on the "war on drugs" into education and health.

I also believe we should make penalties tougher for DUI

Good one...OK, I'm in w/ this as well...

Also, "concealed carry licenses", your thoughts?

I support educated and mature weapons owners. I support concealed licenses
but once again support more severe punishment for violent offenders.

Nice to meet you.

Howdy!

do you feel obligated to enforce the letter of the law, or do you give out a lot of warnings?

Its both, sort of a creative thing.

What about some getting dressed in bunny-suits?
Its one I've heard about...wasnt too sure.

I try and give warnings. I do not really like taking a guy to jail for a nickel bag, especially if he has never been arrested, But if he is driving stoned an has the potential to hurt someone else. I look for everything i can find even the silly stuff like not changing his address on his license.

Haven't heard that one.

Who defines who is, "educated and mature"?

Educated and mature is pretty broad. In the state of Florida you can get a concealed weapons permit even if you have been arrested for armed robbery or aggrevated battery as long as you have not been convicted. They government talks about loop holes. that seems to be a pretty big one.
I would say those are uneducated and immature people.

Sorry for any misspellings everybody.

I'm glad to hear some of the guys walking around with guns and cuffs on their hips have a good measure of common sense.
