Once again, information given on this site does not constitute legal advice. As a matter of fact, due to the various details in your situation(s) that cause you to gain interest in these blogs, it would be impossible to give any guarantee to the result of your efforts based on what is printed here. For instance, if you follow my tips regarding what to do when you get pulled over, your research before court, and in court itself to the letter, you may still be found guilty. There are too many variables in play. However, I will do my best to educate you for what to expect with your defense in court. If there is any doubt as to what to do, consult an attorney to assist you.
It also bears repeating that, if you skipped the disclaimer page, the only connection from the Suffolk Police Department and this site and retired officer is that is where I did my service. I do not speak for the Suffolk Police Department or the city of Suffolk, VA. These are my words and I stand behind them alone.
Below is a list of blogs that may interest you based on my observations as a police officer. Not all of them are instructional in nature. Some are just for information and entertainment purposes. As time goes on, I will add more based on current events, changes in law, or feedback from your emails. Feel free to browse the selection. I will attempt to add one a week.
