Is it an offence anywhere in the world to fart in the presence of a police officer?

It would be considered disrespecting an officer, especially if  it happened while you were being questioned or detained. I don't know if it is an offense to disrespect an officer in other countries.\n\nThis is rude to do in front of anybody, whether it's legal or not. If you do that in front of an officer and it seems to be on purpose, the officer may try to "throw the book at you". In other words, he may try to charge you with any crimes or torts you did do no matter how minor. Worse yet, he may do it back to you!

Assault of a Police Officer is a serious Offence. The minimum sentence varies depending upon the circumstances. The judge could let you with a light sentence if you apologise for what you did.

For minor in possession, officers do not need to give a breath test or sobriety test. The officers can just smell the cup for an alcoholic beverage. From your story the officers definitely have probable cause to believe your son was in possession of alcohol.\n\nAfter an arrest, officers are allowed to search the subject and the area within the subject's immediate control to discover weapons, evidence or any items that can be used to escape.\n\nAlso officers do not need to read a subject his Miranda rights unless they are questioning him while in custody. Officers are allowed to ask general question to determine what has occurred and whether a crime has occurred. Miranda also does not apply to basic information such as name, address, date of birth.\n\nThe mistake on the ticket will not affect the officer's case unless he made several others. This mistake will be considered a good faith error.\n\nYour son appears to be guilty and the officers appear to have operated within the law. I would try to get a diversion if this is available in your area.

It can go either way...a chance you take. The judge could lessen the charge or ammend it. Or if found guilty you could pay more including court costs, lawyer etc.... I would talk persoanlly to the officer who issued it first, before the court date and ask if he could help you out, provided you did not curse the officer out or spit on him during the traffic stop, or tell him he should stop eating doughnuts.

"When is a male officer allowed to touch a bare female breast in a arrest? i was put under arrest and a male officer touched my bare breast in a search... how is that right ? There was no female officer present."\n\nThere is no quick answer to your question.\n\nA law enforcement officer is empowered to conduct a quick "pat down" to ensure his own safety incident to a stop-- he doesn't even have to arrest you.  And there is no same-sex requirement for such searches in the eyes of the law.\n\nThat said, many police departments have regulations that call for same-sex officers to conduct searches whenever possible.  And searches incident to incarceration (that often involve a body cavity search) generally follow stricter guidelines.\n\nBut the power to conduct a search does not create the liberty to grope.  An officer searching a woman should feel under and between breasts (if they are large enough) using a scrunching motion of the hand (not patting) against the clothed body and along any undergarments that might hide something.  Squeezing the breast or touching the area around the nipple is generally not necessary-- although bulky clothing might require it.\n\nIf you were bare-- wearing nothing that could hide a weapon or contraband-- and the officer touched your breasts with his hands as part of the search (not just brushed against you), then you should file a complaint.  If you feel you have enough evidence to prove it, you might even consider filing a civil action in circuit court.  \n\n[This is not legal advice. You should consult a licensed attorney-at-law for legal advice or representation before making decisions that may affect your legal rights.]

If you're asking if "the guy" has to say he's a law enforcement officer working undercover if your friend asks, the answer is no.\n\nIt would kind of ruin undercover operations, wouldn't it?  Not to mention it would expose the undercover officer to certain risk and potential death.

There are alot of laws that give a police officer the power to arrest you. Those laws are mainly there for peolple that get out of control. It is up to the officer to decide if ones actions warrant arrest depending on the situation and that persons attitude. I was lighting fireworks with my kids the day after 4th of july because their cousins missed my fireworks show the night of the 4th. The police showed up, wanted to know why I was lighting fireworks and asked me to stop. Fireworks (at leat the ones I was shooting off) was illegal. I could have been arrested without them asking me for a explanation and certainly been arrested had I not complied.

wen u prevent a cop from doin its job

Yes, they sure can.  The Police may arrest you with a complaint and then decide to drop the charges, often for lack of evidence.\n\nThere is no legal issue there.  However, consult with an attorney about the evidence issue.  Without probable cause the search should be invalid, therefore, the evidence would not be admissable.  No evidence surely would make the charge go away.  Good luck!

Good question. I'm not really sure, but theoretically speaking, it all depends on the lengths the officer is willing to go. I used to be in the army, and there was a time I had to commandeer a civilian vehicle. I didnt bother learning what we were allowed to do and not allowed to do, and since it was in a different country, the rules could've been different.

In my part of the world it's called "malicious mischief", and it is a class C misdemeanor, punishable by a fine. It is an arrestable offense, but probably would not be enforced by an arrest. Wouldn's stop you from being a jerk for doing it though.

Yes, it's still legal.\n\nAll that a cop needs is reasonable suspicion to stop a vehicle. \n\nArticulable facts concerning contraband can also permit a stop, without a traffic infraction.\n\nIt's also written into the legislation that they can stop to check for driver's licences and random breath tests. They don't even have to see you do anything wrong, and they can quite literaly pick people out at random if they choose to.\n\nThe fact that he found an illegal substance and beer in your car will DEFINITELY NOT sit well w/ the judge at your hearing in court...

Police officers cannot work in a vacuum.  If they don't have the cooperation from citizens who give them information then it is very difficult to stop many criminals.  Why would you worry about getting arrested if you don't do anything against the law?  It is actually extremely easy to follow the law of the land.  I have lost track of the number of times that in my small town there were several people who knew exactly what was going on in the town in regards to who was doing B&Es but no one wants to get involved.  Police need information and there is no magic way of getting this.  \nAlso,  I spend a lot of time going to calls where people are complaining that their 6 year old is getting beat up by the neighbours 6 yr old or complaints that their neighbour is putting snow in their driveway.  Most police services are extremely understaffed, at least in my part of the world, and it takes many officers and lots of man hours to be effective against the crimes you mention.\nDo you know what the number one complaint I get from people when I meet them?  People speeding in their neighbourhoods.\n\nAs for arresting "good" people? I arrest people when I have reasonable and probable grounds to believe they have committed criminal offences.  Are some of them "good"? Yes I suppose some of them are.  But you can be a great citizen and neighbour and still hit your wife.

You should keep immaculate records of everything.  Specifically, keep a journal where you record any and all instances of possible sexual harassment.\n\nWith the required compliments regarding your supervisor's appearance, you will definitely have a case.  You need to establish on the record that you have objected to the behavior and asked that it stop, however.  Tell her directly that her request makes you uncomfortable, and then follow up with an email.  Print that email, and keep it in your records.\n\nRemember that you need to be able to prove anything you allege.  Otherwise, she will just say things didn't happen, and if there's no proof, then there's no case.\n\nHopefully, she will stop the behavior when you ask her to, but if she doesn't, you should contact the EEOC.  See http://www.eeoc.gov for full information about filing a complaint.  Try to resolve the issue internally first though in good faith by asking that the behavior stop.  If it doesn't, that's when you go external and file a complaint.\n\nRegarding the farting, I don't think that's anything really.  It's unpleasant, but you don't have the right to a fart-free environment, you know?  Try keeping an air freshener at your workstation, or maybe you could have a fan there.
