Comm

Word of advice to anyone who is not military or law enforcement; do not ask that question ever.. Yes some people are OK with it, but the majority of us are not because we keep getting asked that question, there is no need for people to know if we've ever shot, killed or were shot. It's something that a lot of us won't answer, disclose or dig up.

No that would be illegal under the UN Human Rights Convention; A peace officer needs probable cause to initiate a traffic stop or else anything discovered in the bad traffic stop can be thrown out in court. As for the original question; Before I worked for the Police Service and enlisted in the Army, I had this idea that both professions were honorable and most cops and soldiers were all good hearted people and that everything they do is right, even though I grew up in a tough neighborhood and saw my fair share of abuses and hassling I still thought that was the right thing. First two weeks into my year as a student court officer, I was thrown into the reality of policing and learned that not everything is black and white and there are a lot of grey areas when it comes to law enforcement and the military. If you know anything about the study of Police corruption and Police psychology you’ll learn firsthand why some cops do the things they do and why in some departments it has become the norm rather than the exception (in fact there are behavioral models of police officers), I’m not going to go into to detail but for those of you who haven’t set foot in the criminal justice system, and had to wade through the bs of politics and bureaucracy then you’ll come to realize why that it’s not all sunshine’s and rainbows. In larger urban departments you will also see that many cops are only there for the power, glory, prestige and the ability to slam someone’s head into the wall; there are cops who joined to right wrongs and to serve and protect but that has become the minority in my opinion and again those cops usually become bitter, disillusioned and cynical. Don’t get me wrong, the military and police are still honorable professions, but every story has two sides.

Don't know if you've ever been in a Police edition of a CVPI, but those things aren't exactly "fast" take into account most of these vehicles are between 3-6 years old and the equipment stored in the vehicle. Problem isn't if police need faster cars, it's the pursuit policy in general. It once took us five days to find a guy who consistently got into chases on city streets knowing the department policy on pursuits in city streets; a few months ago it took nearly 12 hours for OPP to stop an 18-wheeler on the freeway. Echoing what others have mentioned, those who want to outrun the cops usually don't get very far.

Northern parts of the province are mostly rural and country; if you drive about an hour outside of Toronto it's mostly rural. Because as a soldier myself, when we go overseas in some of these communities we are diplomat, humanitarian, police officer, governor, soldier, mediator, doctor and lawyer all roled into one. Simply put in order to train a police force you need police officers hence that's why we always have civilian law enforcement on our tours. A soldier is not a police officer, two very different theories, similar profession. That's why when I worked with the police service in my city, I often incorporated what I had learned in the military (strategy, tactics, mediation, psychology) into some of the policies that we developed.

You guys do have an impressive military and law enforcement infastructure, I often watch the cyberpioneertv or spfcommunity outreach channels on youtube. I must say very impressive and a very sharp force, I have yet to have the pleasure to work with you guys but some of my colleagues in the Military and friends in policing have nothing but praise for the amount of work you guys do. The OPP and SQ can be considered the equivalent of a State Police force as they provide contract law enforcement services to municpialities without it's own police force, patrol all roadways, highways and waterways within their boundaries and are often contacted to investigate any illegal activitiy within the provincial government. The Canadian definition of Sheriff is different from the US, as we base our policing style to that of England and the Commonwealth. Sheriffs in Canada (BC, Alberta, NS and NB) are sworn peace officers whose duties include the managing and protection of provincial court houses and prisoner transportation gnerally these duties in other cities and provinces are conducted by Special Constables sworn through their respective municipality, RCMP, OPP or SQ The Canadian definition of Sheriff is different from the US, as we base our policing style to that of England and the Commonwealth (to include Singapore). Sheriffs in Canada (BC, Alberta, NS and NB) are sworn peace officers whose duties include the managing and protection of provincial court houses and prisoner transportation generally these duties in other cities and provinces are conducted by Special Constables sworn through their respective municipality, RCMP, OPP or SQ Alberta Sheriffs can technically be considered a State Police/Highway Patrol equivalent as they do from my understanding patrol highways and roadways and operate various anti-violence/gang teams that work in tandem with RCMP and local law enforcement. Any Canadian Law Enforcement can deal with matters internationally, it's a matter of who steps on whose shoes and a matter of politics. The RCMP manages the International Policing aspect however application to go overseas is open to any police, correction or border officer in Canada. Again a matter of politics.

To be honest, it wasn't all that awesome or great. That's for a different discussion, all I can say is in policing there is a lot of politics (internal and external).

Actually, to be honest; I took no oath of office, the only oath of office I took was when I enlisted. However they didn't treat me any different, no special considerations, no special treatment; I had to be able to handle and deal with situations myself. I was with them; day or night, rain or shine. Especially in Courts, it was a no holds bar wild ride in 2006 when we had all the gang raids and trials; with the anti-gang team it was even harder working in the "ghetto". Need less to say, I have a very different view point of life and how things work after my stint with the Police. Before that I was a naive kid who thought everything was all rainbows and sunshines, after the first two weeks in court my opinions and views changed. btw, if anyone is asking; I worked with a large urban service in North America.

If you were referring to my comment about Interpol not being an FBI agency, that was actually a typo as I just re-read what I previously wrote. In either case, local law enforcement would call the host nations police force if it does reach International borders ex. Hong Kong has a good working relationship with the RCMP, VPD, TPS, YRP etc. or Interpol to connection with host nations. Correct, As mentioned before I didn't actually read what I wrote; It is not an actual Police Force. However it's members do investigate a variety of crimes with the assistance of various host nation agencies who make the actualy arrests.

I did six years in the Army as a Combat Engineer; prior to that I did one year as a Court Officer where I conducted the follow duties: Protecting and securing courtrooms and the court house in preparation for trials Retrieving files and warrants from the JP's and Judges Office Escorting and ensuring the safety of all accused Running and logging names into criminal databases Assisting fellow officers in tracking down court dates for accused and the whereabouts of the accused After my stint in court, I did several years in Headquarters and the Anti-Gang/Guns unit whereby I was a part of a team of advisors to Chief working on youth problems and gangs in a community-building capacity. This involved Creating and Implementing community programs and workshops tailored towards at-risk youths Advising members of the Anti-Gang unit in dealing with suspects under the age of 21 Mentoring and advising at-risk youths (which I still do today, mainly because I know what they are going through; been there myself) Promoting a culture of peace amongst communities hardest hit by gang crime All this before I turned 23; Now I'm finishing up a BA in Criminology.

Interpol is not like an FBI Agency, It's an International Police Agency that investigates a wide variety of crimes ranging from financial white collar crime to terrorism across the globe, their members include law enforcement peace officers from various nations seconded or posted to InterPol. I doubt they will do anything in regards to this matter as its technically doesn't fal under their purview. Canada doesn't have an FBI. The RCMP investigates any and all Federal Offences and it is up to the local or provincial agency to investigate their matters; if the investigation is big enough or crosses multiple jurisdiction or involves Transnational Criminal Organizations then the RCMP may lend assistance or tag along as part of a Task Force. Any law enforcement agency in Canada can and has dealt with the FBI, ATF, USMS, DEA, ICE, DHS, USBP, CBP etc. As for the OP's situation; I would just ignore him and explain the situation to the pizza place. Technically no crime has been committed here; it's not like the person used your personal info for their own personal financial gain or used it to actually threaten you with violence or intimidated/extorted you. The Police technically can't help you in this matter and there's no "online" restrain order, calling Interpol won't do anything unless the guy is a fugitive or on the most wanted list.

Has happened to me many times with his models; the only fix to this problem is simply not to hit rebuild. It is a temporary fix as on occassion the vehicle itself will not spawn, however 2 out of 3 times the model will spawn.

Not in North America they don't. By civil cars do you mean unmarked vehicles and or Stealth vehicles?
