It could mean Council of Economic Advisors (CEA)\n\nAre you sure its not REA? It can be MENS REA which means  ``guilty mind``.  There must be an Actus Reus accompanied by some level of mens rea to constitute the crime with which the defendant is charged.

It means real crime in progress.  Like robbery, prowler, vandalism, etc.  The cops don't want the crooks to know their coming so they just light it up and run silent.  When the cops run with sound it means they want you to know they are coming.  Violent crimes and the like get sirens.  A great many calls are run with no lights as well.

i think it started out as a line from the movie 'casablanca'. whenever a crime is committed they have a few people in town that are always suspects because of their generally suspicious behavior. who is brent, anyway? and who is kelttown? who are you talking to?

That would be the internal affairs department in large police departments.  They investigate accusations of misconduct.

If I'm not mistaken, SevenPoints (above me) is one of my brethren, and is absolutely correct.\n\nA few of the other people here have absolutely no idea what they're talking about, and should keep their keyboards to themselves.  \n\nThe police do not need "reasonable cause" to ask people to identify themselves in a car.\n\nThe Patriot Act has nothing to do with cops asking people to identify themselves when they're in a vehicle.\n\nIt is most certainly not a 4th Amendment violation to ask someone to identify themselves.  What a ridiculous notion...exactly where is the search and seizure in a request to tell me what your name is?  The rest of that answer is generally very mistaken as well.  \n\nThe key here is that the asker wants to know if the police can ask for passengers to identify themselves.  Of course they can.  The police can ask the passengers to stand on their head, too.  If they're *asking*, then nobody is under any obligation to do anything.  \n\nAnd really, I'd disagree with SevenPoints only as to one thing...I'd suggest the police *can* demand identification, they just can't do anything about it under these circumstances if the demand isn't met.

This is a part of the instructions provided to FBI agents to be used in filling out an arrest record:\n\n"ASL 2.047- ARREST SEGMENT LITERAL. This field is made up of the Date of Offense (DOO) and the Arrest Offense Literal (AOL). The AOL is free text description of an offense charged on an arrest. The first character of the AOL text must not be blank. Each AOL should have a corresponding date (DOO), if available. The DOO shall appear as an eight-digit number as specified in Section 1.2 of this Appendix. The DOO shall not exceed the current date, except when the submission originates from an international contributor located in a time zone earlier than the Eastern Time Zone. This date field shall contain the local date for the region submitting the request. Edit checks on the IAFIS will accept the local date as valid up to 1 day forward (24 hours), in order to accommodate the variance between international time zones. Up to 40 occurrences of the ASL are allowed. Each occurrence of the ASL shall be separated by the R S separator character. The DOO shall be separated from the AOL by the U S separator character. A DOO is prohibited without a corresponding AOL offense. If a DOO is not present, a U S character separator shall still be used."\n\nThus, the "free text" is a description of the offense which is written in his own words by an arresting officer.

there was this doctor working on a night shift at this hospital in philly right? \naround 12 midnight, he was making his rounds, got on the elevator then it opened at the morgue's section of the hospital. \nfrom afar he saw a kid running towards the elevator door.\nthe doctor was trying to close it as quickly as possible.\nthen finally the door shut just before the kid could enter.\nat that time, there was another man at the elevator and asked the doctor why he didn't let the kid in. doctor said "THAT KID WAS A PATIENT OF MINE EARLIER. HE WAS PRONOUNCED DEAD ON ARRIVAL WHEN HE GOT HERE.DIDN'T YOU NOTICE THE RED TAG ON HIS WRIST?" (apparently, red tag means patient is deceased) to which the man replied while raising his arm "OH, LIKE THIS ONE ON ME?"...

It's from an agency that still uses "10 Codes" and can mean anything, depending on where you live. Even some agencies within the same jurisdiction don't apply the same meanings. In the context you've written, I'm guessing it's the 10-code for arrest or detention,(10-15 = arrest, x 3 means they arrested 3 ppl) but it could be warrant checks, officers on scene or something like that. For example, our agency uses "10-10" to say there's a fight but a neighboring agency uses 10-50. Ask the local agency for a list of their 10- code. It's not secret, so they should give it to you.

Do you know what FTA stands for?  Failure to Appear.  You say "likely."  How are you so sure?  If it was me, no matter what it was, I'd show.  An FTA signals down the road to a cop, you can't be trusted.  Good luck!

This sticker means you are in law enforcement and respect the officers and laws they enforce. If you want to pay a lot of tickets, buy one of these stickers and stick it on your car and speed around town with the expectation of not getting pulled over. Nothing makes a cop angrier than someone trying to get out of a ticket by influence other than innocence.

Methinks people watch too much TV sometimes.\n\nBut anyway, if you're really packing the gear you say you are, those people need to be prosecuted and put in prison.  If the narcs work for the city or the county, go to the state.  If they work for the state, go to the feds.  Come to think of it, maybe go to the feds no matter who the dirty folks work for...seems to me, chances are pretty good the feds will have jurisdiction if the dirty cops are only half as dirty as they could be. \n\nGo to the media if you want.  But if you do, and if the media thinks someone else will "scoop" them on the story, they will run with the story and blow the whole thing wide open, as they like to say.  Of course, the media doesn't give a damn about the successful prosecution of these cops, only their ratings...releasing the information prior to a successful and thorough investigation could very well jeopardize the ability of the investigators to put these dirty cops in prison.\n\nMailing something to yourself is silly...it only "proves" the envelope was mailed to you on a certain date, not the contents.  Surely in this day and age we'd all agree that envelopes can be opened and closed at will, with very little effort.\n\nOn the other hand, giving your documentation to an attorney might be useful.  And having an attorney would likely be a wonderful idea, given the nature of the allegations you're pushing here.  \n\nPersonally, I hope you're some kook who doesn't know what they're talking about and whose documented proof consists of a napkin with some cryptic drawings on it.  However, I'm willing to believe you could be right and if you are, I wish you the best of luck in whatever course you choose to take.  The important thing here would be to remove those people from office, if they really are doing what you're saying.  Please do keep an open mind, though...one person's idea of an "illegal cover-up" is another person's idiotic police report that should have been written better.\n\n2/3/06: Okay, this is some pretty serious stuff you're alleging here.  I will renew the part of my answer that is suggesting you contact an attorney and work through them.  I can't suggest a way to find an attorney that would be willing to work with you on this particular issue because I don't how you'd find them...maybe the Bar Association in your state.\n\nI'll also offer to discuss this further with you in email by writing to me at my user name at yahoo.com...though I'm not sure you should.  If you do, we'd need to set some ground rules for our discussions so don't write and give me *any* information other than where I can write you back at first.  I'd like to help you get pointed in the right direction because if only half of this is true, these people are disgracing my profession and need to be stopped.  \n\nI'm suggesting the attorney.  I'm not suggesting you contact me, but I am willing to talk to you if you want to write.

I believe it is supposed to be O.T.R. which means "on the rag" which if you don't know is a euphemism for the female menstrual cycle.  If it actually was O.D.R., then I think they mean "on da rag," which is the same thing with the slang term "da" in place of "the."  I'm sure the transcripts are wrong though and it should be O.T.R.

It comes from an old TV cop show called "Hawaii Five-Oh", starting Jack Lord.  There never was a real state police force by that name, but it struck a cord in the public's imagination, and half the police forces in the country have that nickname at one time or another:  "\nDetroite 5-0", "Dallas 5-0", etc.  Even the police force at the college that I attended had that nickname.

sorry no idea, hope someone does so that they help you.  By the way, why not contact the police itself on phone, that will be even a quick search for the information you need right.
