I believe it would apply if you were lawfully possessing your firearm. If someone broke into your home (lawful possession) and you chose to prone them out rather than shoot, or a business owner (lawful possession) who gets the drop on a robber decides not to shoot and orders the suspect to the ground and waits for backup, etc. The issue isn't the pointing as much as what's going on when pointing the gun. Police are not allowed to randomly point guns for no reason. Although I'm certain at some point some dumb Officer did.......

Vlad, just out of curiosity, what is your fiances brothers first name? It's not Chris is it?

I got about a half a dozen people who normally don't care about guns actively buying and owning weapons this year. I've had several more friends I NEVER thought would want to own guns reach out to me out of the blue on facebook asking what guns to pick up (all the time I am educating these people). I'm very angry about the UN bull....but....his delivery is not my type. All the more power to him. I read he just caught a 30 day suspension?

underage consumption: does not have to be in a car, only a public place: 2C:33-15 The "Baby DWI" is different. Operating a motor vehicle with bac .01 to .07. Both carry license suspensions.

Work: Yes. Off duty: Like said earlier, with letter from Chief for the purpose of an off duty gun (for carry, not just b/c you want one) which is approved per department guidelines and the Officer qualifies with every time they qualify with their on duty weapons (quarterly for me). The off duty gun would be one used besides/instead of the department duty gun when not working or as a backup during work (following guidelines for carrying while on duty). Rifles? I doubt it. I would guess if your department allows you to purchase your own rifles for on duty (not likely in NJ). My duty gun is a Glock 22 and my off duty is a Kahr P9 (low capacity anyway ) Some guys use different types of Glock or other high capacity off duty weapons.

I stand corrected by the New York Times....

+1.......sometimes when I am driving through I take a dump there.......and forget to flush.....

Obama is the first white/black president......

broken tail light is not a crime of the 4th, 3rd, 2nd or 1st degree. If the statute reads "Crime". "Offense" is different.

+1 If you don't mind me asking, what agency??

Court House Towing

are they C.H.T.????

I've seen the amateur radio trucks driving around many times, I suppose they are the ones with the very large antennae? I've never looked twice at them. As far as the tow trucks, I agree. I went at it with one a few months ago. He had every window tinted, including the windshield (I couldn't see a thing). He said he bought it like that (I didn't believe him) but since he had just registered it and it was new I gave him the benefit of doubt. All of our tow trucks are inspected annually, any tint and they are exempt from towing for us.

I didn't write the law nor is my patrol car tinted. I don't like tinted front windows, it makes it difficult to see at night. My rear windows are tinted and there is absolutely no doubt it is harder to see out of the back tinted windows vs. the front clear windows when it is dark......The NJ State Government wrote the law. Besides, if someone has tinted windows I would just stand back, tap on the window and have the driver exit the vehicle. I don't like standing at the window when I cannot see inside. I think there was an officer shot multiple times about a year ago up north when he approached a tinted out car. I guarantee you he doesn't like tint either.

The statute is NJAC 13:20-37.2. It spells out the exemption as you will see below. § 13:20-32.7 Glazing; official inspection facilities (a) All glazing used on motor vehicles manufactured after July 1, 1935, shall be an approved type of glazing which is legibly and permanently marked with the manufacturer's name, trademark, DOT number, "AS" number, or other distinctive designation under which the glazing was approved, so as to be visible when the glazing is installed in the motor vehicle. The proper type of glazing shall be used for each location in a motor vehicle. The approved locations for the various types of glazing are as follows: 1. AS-1: Mandatory in windshields but may be used for any other window in a motor vehicle; 2. AS-2: Anywhere except windshields; 3. AS-3: Rear side windows on buses; 4. AS-4, AS-5, AS-6 and AS-7: Rear windows of convertibles and windows (except windshields) which can be readily removed without the use of tools; 5. AS-8 and AS-9: Rear windows of buses; 6. AS-10: Bullet-resistant windshields; 7. AS-11: Bullet-resistant windows except windshields; and 8. AS-12 and AS-13: Windows (except windshields) which can be readily removed without the use of tools. (b) All openings in a motor vehicle which were originally manufactured with glazing shall be equipped with an approved type of glazing. © Certification of a motor vehicle shall be refused if the motor vehicle is equipped with glazing which causes undue or unsafe distortion of visibility for the driver, or is equipped with unduly fractured, broken, cracked, discolored, scratched, or deteriorated glazing, or is equipped with glazing with sharp edges. (d) A motor vehicle, other than a police vehicle or a motor vehicle for which a medical exemption certificate has been issued by the Motor Vehicle Commission in accordance with N.J.S.A. 39:3-75.1 et seq., shall not be certified which has tinted spray or plastic material added to previously approved glazing in the front windshield or windows, vents, wings, deflectors, or side shields to the immediate right or left of the driver, because such condition changes the vision and light transmission properties of the glazing in areas where driver visibility shall not be obscured or obstructed; provided, however, tinted spray or plastic material may be applied to previously approved glazing in the front windshield if such spray or material extends no lower than six inches from the top of the front windshield or such spray or material does not extend below the AS-1 marking on the front windshield.

And you wonder why so many people complain about the police. I've spent everyday for the last 20 years trying to tamp down the public's perception of the "I'm above the law attitude" because of comments like that. Frankly, if that is why you want the job you should re-evaluate your career path. If you are willing to comment like that on a public forum, what else do you believe you can do? I'd like to ask you at your oral interview why it took you 10 tickets to comply with the law and how you reconcile that with you application to enforce the law?

wrote three yesterday. there is a part of the statute that says if your car cost more than $45,000 or has a cool sloped front you are not required to have a tag, unlike the drone who drives the Toyota Camry.

I would not want to get involved in this topic. Tell the school to sign what they want and have them fight it out in court. BTW, no one seems to have any problem when I was sitting at Wendys with my 6 yoa daughter as the two men and two woman sitting next to us talked about "being bent over and taking it from behind" the other night. I'm sure they would SCREAM it is their freedom of speech and nothing can be done. Of course my 6 yo was asking me what they were talking about. I explained they were rude and ignorant people and nothing they had to say was worth us talking about. But this kid just wears a t shirt???? It ONLY depends on what side of the dispute you are on.

As someone who knows exactly what you are talking about I can say this: You forgot to put a smiley face after the statement. I was only kidding?

You have to be careful with the paperwork. I don't know the facts of the case or Florida law for that matter, but what I do know is that Police Officers should not be "allegedly" destroying paperwork, especially with an incident that may be perceived as a hot topic. What happens when more paperwork disappears because the officer really, really believed the incident should not have been investigated, maybe a domestic dispute, maybe a traffic ticket, crash report etc. If you believe in what you are doing you should no problem keeping everything out in the bright sunlight, not just 2A topics, ALL topics. I hate to use the word "transparency" since it has been so bastardized the past several years!

BTW....I get coffee for no one now unless they BUCK UP SOME MONEY!

when I was a new cop working the HQ district I was "required" to get coffee for the brass EVERYDAY! I was brand new, in a busy line with four large cups of coffee. I hated getting the "you're good" from the clerk, I felt like such a dunce! I ended up having to buy a breakfast sandwich for myself and an orange juice to pass money, even if I wasn't hungry. I also found disputing it at the front of a long line with busy people waiting behind you didn't help either! That caused me so much stress everyday, trying to slip away before the supervisor found you. I DIDN"T EVEN DRINK COFFEE!!!!

there is an old shooting video from a Trooper down south. Google "Blackburn shooting"...it should come up. Tpr. shot Blackburn with a .357 multiple times, point blank....disabled and laying behind his car pointing his ".22!!! mini pistol" at where he thought the Tpr. would come to check on him. Tpr does just that, is shot with the .22, passes under vest into heart killing Tpr. Blackburn lived with his 4 for 5 .357 mid body shots........NEVER STOP until the threat stops! I'm not betting MY life on it after some crazy shoots a 7.62 at me point blank.

kinda looks like this...."Did you see the size of that hand cannon!" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XSmqxPuF-Xk

It is clearly against some departments rules to alter their uniforms in any way without permission. I would guess JC's General Order books were opened and looked at where the uniform policy is concerned. The problem I see is that the story is mostly concerned with "them and their thoughts" vs. a minor uniform violation.
