Cheating death and fighting communism: that is how a fellow officer once described our job. It was meant to be funny, but as time went on it seemed all too true.
I spent more than ten years in law enforcement, all of it on the street in uniform patrol. I've been a patrol officer, instructor, sergeant and lieutenant.
Do not report crimes here. Nothing here should be considered legal advice. All opinions are my own.

Has anyone ever caught you surveilling them, and what happened?

Are you kidding? Just because the cops don't do what you want them to do doesn't mean there is any wrongdoing on their part. You should stop being a pest to your neighbors.
Share Answer: 
Police screening should be mandatory. It should start when they apply to attend the academy or apply for a job with a department (depending on what the proceedures are for your state.) Any earlier is called spying; any later would be foolish.
