  1. " Proof of age and identity To work as a security officer, security bodyguard, crowd controller or agent in Western Australia, you must be 18 years of age or older. All licence applications require the applicant to produce sufficient identification. Section 47 (1)(a) of the Security and Related Activities (Control) Act states that an application for the issue of a licence is to consist of the original or a certified copy of: two documents referred to in items 1 to 6 in Category 1; or one document referred to in items 1 to 6 (Category 1) and two documents referred to in items 7 to 10 (Category 2)." Source: http://www.police.wa.gov.au/Ourservices/PoliceLicensingServices/Security/Licenceinformation/tabid/1811/Default.aspx#Proof_of_age_and_identity He also used "double mag holders" in the post he made you quoted. In Australia to my knowledge NO ONE under the age of 18 can obtain a firearms license. Which as pertained in my link is required. To random or whatever: I'm not here to search everything and ruin your life or whatever, maybe YOU are a security worker and I am not properly finding ALL legislation; HOWEVER it appears you are lying.
  2. Interesting, if he could put what "State" he is a "Security Officer" he works within I'd be interested. Every state I have found regulations on requires the state security workers to be minimum 18. I also found federal legislation in Australia against security officers receiving badges. Quite the story.
  3. What exactly do you "do" in the LEO field at 16? I'm greatly curious. The youngest people with "badges" in your country that I have found could be military police if they are hired that young (17) where the minimum for every police force along with the border services are 18, I'm curious as to what I am missing? Secondary; what you said with regards to the "badge" is ridiculous. Thirdly: Who the hell IN law enforcement, asks LAW RELATED questions on a video game website? Why don't you know the proper way to find the laws based on your law enforcement work?
  4. People need to get off their high horses about how "terrible" or how "great" the drug is. Saying the drug is the end to all of the worlds heart aches is a typical response my pot head friends tend to regurgitate time and time again. But in the same sense the people blindly beating on the drug because of possible "health risk" to young people to ME is the greatest reason to legalize and regulate it. Want to try and keep something out kids hands? Regulate it. Sure some will get it. But just as youth smoking (cigs) rates are the lowest they've ever been maybe the same thing could occur with pot. The biggest issue I have with the mental illness argument of pot; is the lack of any causal argument. There has to be causation for a correlation to actually mean anything, just as with alcohol abuse there is higher levels of mental illness it is the same for pot. What I mean is; alcoholics don't BECOME mentally ill, but mentally ill people have a generally HIGHER chance at being alcoholics. Similarly to pot. THAT is causal. It is a generally accepted medical fact that those with mental illness are more prepositioned to addiction. Everything has side effects in this world. I don't think the government should be making every decision for people. Sugar and salt kills. I hope people catch my drift. Interesting debate though, I hope everyone stays nice to one another.
  5. There are many things much more detrimental to society then marijuana. Being the son of two parents who are both coppers, and having had my mother lead a "Serious Crime Unit" or a fancy name for drug unit in Canada, marijuana wasn't a priority what so ever. If anyone actually thinks their are social repercussions to legalizing marijuana they are naive to the fact large proportions of society (at least in Canada) smoke it regardless. It's a losing battle and can't be won. As for being a Police Officer (or auxiliary) for that matter, doing something opposed to guidelines is wrong and shows a lack of character. I'm not making a judgement call serg, but being someone who has gone extremely far into police applications for full time constable, doing drugs within 3-5 years of an application usually is an automatic DQ. I don't know what it's like where you are from however. The thing about policing that a lot of people neglect to appreciate is that it is a job of empathy, you need to understand why people smoke it/ and who they are. For the most part they are young people who do it along side drinking. When I was in high school it was a lot easier for me to purchase marijuana then alcohol. Anything legalised becomes regulated and with that, further kept out of youths hands it also reduces the "gateway" drug theory when governments regulate it. I know of many people who reap the rewards of Medicinal Marijuana and also who use it as a method of having fun as opposed to alcohol. I don't condone doing something that is illegal, and after grade 10 in high school discontinued doing it myself however I don't place judgement on my friends who continue to do it in their own dwelling away from the public. The simple answer "no" (or just a "yes" it should be legalized for that matter) it should not be legalized is a ridiculous answer and shows a lack of both empathy and understanding of society. At least provide explanation and purpose to your opinion. Good luck explaining questions in job interviews or for that matter police panel interviews with a "Yes" or "No" answer. Just because you don't understand something doesn't mean you can't do research and make a conclusive decision on your own. If you do research, from credible sources (Health Canada for one) and find that you still believe Marijuana to be a dangerous drug, then sure make your argument, and I'll at least respect your opinion for its merit. However, being afraid to step out of your bubble and teaching oneself about the drug is a terrible excuse (IMHO). No I don't think marijuana should be illegal, some who stated it would be easier for youth to access marijuana if it was legal are also stuck in LALA land as per what I said in paragraph 4.
  6. OPP base salary = 93, 000 (after 36 months service) RCMP base salary = 82, 000 (after 36 months service) Both have many duration post with incentives and "danger" pay. Police jobs as of right now are hard to come by in general in Canada (minus Western Canada I know nothing about Western Canada's police, except the RCMP). Policing in Ontario (where the OPP is) is very competitive there are way more applicants then positions available. I know the RCMP hires young, I personally know of one 20 year old in Nunavut (a duration/ danger post) I also know my father was hired at 20 back in the stone age. lol. My mother works with two 21 years olds, and when she did her basic training (Depot) there was an 18 year old on course, imagine that? However I know large amounts of both the OPP and RCMP are eligible for retirement very soon, within the next 4 years 30% of the OPP is eligible for retirement. I'll be graduating University next year and plan to apply to the OPP.
  7. Pshhh 3 Years in with the OPP, base salary is $93, 000 that's not including the ridiculous amounts of overtime you could get! I've always been perplexed by the difference in pay between Police across both borders.
  8. If you're Canadian, and you have your R-PAL (Restricted firearms license) and a SIN number then you can apply, which is 18 minimum. I have a friend who started when they were 19. At 19 I had an interview for a position, but turned it down as it was across the country where my mother lived but decided to stay in school. Taught myself a lot about the process, however the job itself I can't speak for. I applied in Southern Ontario (where I live) but no luck as of yet. It's a solid part-time job, around here from the ones I know in Garda, you start Part-time then if you earn the option to work full time and if you want to, you can.
  9. Where are you from ? Like geographically speaking what police forces are you near that you would apply to? Canadian Police Forces tend to have standards based on Province wide regulations (except the RCMP).. the RCMP which used to have quite strict Standards 20/20 Corrected and 20/40 uncorrected... lowered threes I just can't recall off hand what it is now.. I know the Constable Selection System (CSS) in Ontario still requires those former RCMP standards, does your impairment also effect your night vision or peripheral vision? Because these will all be tested as well. I know the feeling of having a vision impairment deter you from your dream I have a colour deficiency and for the longest time believed I could never be a copper.. then one day I said meh I'll go do the other test that is sufficient (the Farnsworth- D15) and passed. So don't give up. But as I said before an idea of what Forces you are interested in could help us, help you!
  10. Maybe not in Pennsylvania but it is ILLEGAL in Canada (the whole country) as stated in the Highway Traffic Act. "Flashing red lights, visible from any direction on a vehicle, are restricted to law enforcement vehicles only. This restriction does not include four way flashers or tapping the brake pedal to produce an on and off effect with the brake lights. In addition to this, red lights and red and blue combinations of lights to the front are also restricted to law enforcement vehicles. Flashing blue lights are restricted to police vehicles and snow removal vehicles, but only while they are actually engaged in the removal of snow (or de-icing, etc). Flashing green lights are restricted to volunteer fire fighters." It is section 62 if I recollect. I see you are from Nova Scotia Slimory, be careful you appear to be treading on thin ice if you completely recreate your vehicle and drive with it. I also wouldn't be surprised if you were to be charged with impersonating a peace (public) Officer if you were caught driving with the lights on (or even off). I'm not trying to piss you off or stir the pot just saying what I know. I do also know cops look for these things, both parents are mounties, and my dad has had incidences in his place of work where people impersonating cops have taken advantage of the public (its not that they assume if you have a car that looks like a police car you are an evil person, it is simply the fact you will LOOK like you have more authority then you may actually have). http://www.ontariohighwaytrafficact.com/topic725.html (Section 62 in its entirety). Just read your lights are white lights, that's cool. I have no idea what that would entail legally. Might ask my parents out of curiosity.
  11. Nice! My mom's RCMP co-worker said that they started rolling out blue n whites in Alberta!!!
  12. I retract my statement then, I had always been under the impression that in some states it was possible with a simple drivers license to buy a gun.. I am extremely happy to hear otherwise though, sorry for spreading false information. As a gun owner myself, (and assuming you are as well since you work at a gun store), gun safety is always paramount to me. Glad there are precautions set in place.
  13. I disagree. Gun control laws are not always you can't have a gun. It could mean you need to complete courses, safety courses, firearm etiquettes courses, background checks.. (Like Canada for say) What you just explained is abolition. Most countries like Canada and many many others have population's that have a large proportion of the citizenry that agree, "no one needs a fully automatic rifle". To many Americans this Draconian, to very few Canadians it is. (As an example) Different mindset. But to call gun control laws "you can't have guns even though you have never broken the law and are mentally stable" is an overshoot at the least. Anyone in Canada could eventually get a firearm you simply need to work for it, prove you are worthy. And no its not expensive. I'm not saying gun control laws work or not. But I'll tell you one thing, when my mom heads to a domestic in rural Canada and USED to be able to do a simple check on the firearms registry whether or not they had firearms it made her job a lot easier and safer. (We removed our gun registry). The idea to me that an American citizen could walk into a store and by a firearm without providing proof of capability is astounding to me. Would you be able to buy a car a drive it without a license? Or without insurance, I think not. I hope you catch my drift. EDIT: I realize not all states are like this..
  14. This. I do however see a problem from the public's perspective if armed law enforcement "walked" around with AR-15's.. I personally wouldn't give much of a care, but I do see some not familiar with law enforcement to be apprehensive. All OPP Cruisers (at least the ones I have been in) have C8 tactical carbines with NATO rounds (Colt Canada).. pretty mean beast, but they are in the cruisers console not out in public unless need be, out of sight out of mind (from the public's perspective).. until the need be of course. I also know all OPP officers are trained to use the firearm, I think proper training and firearm etiquette are essential if law enforcement become armed with firearms with such capability. Link to the firearm if curious to see what it looks like: http://www.coltcanada.com/products-originalc8.htm EDIT: Read a little more and noticed the perspective of many people whom believe police should be no more armed then there civilian counter parts, it's an interesting perspective as for me a Canadian with two parents as police officers.. the Police when dealing with armed combatants don't usually tend to deal with the "run of the mill" citizen. They are usually dealing with a career criminal, someone who doesn't necessarily care about the law. Then again the stories of police shootings in Canada are very few and far between. Even considering we have relatively lax gun laws, pretty much on par with Massachusetts after reviewing the two.
  15. I understand your point. I believe the Officer never actually had the intention of doing what he said, I believe the Officer was using his threat as a ploy to make the man comply with his orders (to leave the area to find somewhere warm).
  16. Hey guys curious as to what you virtual police officers have to say about this story, I'll post the video in a link and also the link to the article. The story has really grown in Canada and Quebec specifically the Montreal area, so I'd like to hear your input! I suggest watching the video before placing judgement! 1. http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/montreal/video-shows-montreal-police-officer-threatening-panhandler-1.2482437 2.
  17. Hi, I am was curious as to whether any developers have a mapping they are willing to copy and paste from their configuration onto the site. I am finding myself struggling to get things to work well together, so I was curious as to whether someone had created a mapping that is working well, I hope I put this in the right place, and would like to thank everyone who made this mod, unbelievable how stable it is (for me anyways).. Thank you! - Mike PS: Sorry if this is in the wrong section I also did a search and could not locate a similar thread..
  18. You should leave the "Liberty City" portion, it makes it more realistic.
  19. Looks unbelievable, you should be proud! This type of technology should be used as training tools for recruits.
  20. It is technically illegal in Ontario under the highway traffic act to put emergency lights on a vehicle unless otherwise designated. IE. Emergency, construction or security etc. In legal standards putting any light other than lights already stocked to a car, and a front "search" light is technically illegal but poorly enforced in Ontario. Same with window tints, not heavily enforced. But I have had friends add silly lights to there cars, whether it be a flashing light, or a license plate light = ticket-able in Ontario, and illegal under the highway traffic act. I also know that it is very close in Canada under the CC to "Impersonating a police officer" which is an Indictable offence ("felony"). But in the states that would vary state to state.
