I was lost in a huge confusing apartment complex last night, and was wondering; do cops have some kind of mapping software or map book or something for these places, or do you just kinda learn it as it's in your area?

Google maps. :shrug:

I always assumed that the software on the MDTs would include GPS that allows dispatch to basically drop a pin on the location and it automatically shows up and/or gives directions to the officer. Then I found out how many departments didn't even have MDTs in the cars...

Branis drives a mid 80s Bronco that pumps exhaust fumes into the passenger compartment, he'd be lucky to get ahold of one of smiling jack's new type writers much less an MDT.

Cop question for Cops:

It gets mentioned a lot, so I'm gonna ask: How/Why do detectives have girlfriend(s)?

Do they just accumulate loose women by preying on the vulnerable and desperate ones they interact with professionally?

If you want to smuggle mass quantities of drugs and guns, do it in the rain. Flawless plan. Unless you crash, then ditch and run. :ssh:

Pretty much instant conviction when the Judge sees a previously soaked ticket. They know something serious happened to make me stand out in the rain and put pen to paper.

Carry an umbrella and you won't get wet when you walk up to the driver. :shrug:

For how convenient an umbrella is when it comes to accidents / directing traffic, I'm surprised I've never seen more cops use them. Come to think of it I've never seen anyone use one.

nah. I've got a pretty sweet one. and a card that says I am authorized to do poo poo involving justice...I should probably actually read it and see what it says. Not really good for much other than scaring tailgaters and making temp prosecutors feel inadequate.
