Ask a Police Officer anything

Last Answer on October 29, 2014

Back in the 1970's, my father bought two fake grenades from a surplus army navy store. They look real, and if I throw them in the trash someone could freak out. Is there any way the local police would take them without freaking out if I call them?

Yes, they are completely legal. But, you are right and someone might freak out if someone sees them. Calling the PD and explaining the situation should be fine. We helped dispose of all sorts of stuff (ammo, explosives, etc.).

If I were to get into a confrontation with someone and the police were called. Am I allowed to ask for another police officer to take control of the scene. If the original one had history with the person I got into the confrontation with?

No. If you believe the officer handles the incident in an improper manner, you can request to speak to his/her supervisor.

I've been seeing a girl and if we have a disagreement she uses her sister's officer position as a shield. Is that legal and what do I do?

I'm not sure what you mean by "using her sister's officer position as a shield." Regardless, it would appear you need to find another girlfriend.
