heheh the other calls are:
1: can you tell the neighbor to turn off his generator? (it's after the hurricane and no one has power. The generator is keeping people's food cool so he can feed his family)
2: my boyfriend won't let me go to sleep.
3: they're shooting fireworks (4th of july)
4: they're being too loud (new years)
5: there's a drunk driver in front of me (we catch up, not drunk. the complainant was just mad that he/she was cut off on the road)
6: I was assaulted (he was drunk and started the fight)
7: suspicious person (neighbor is taking out the trash)
it goes on and on.

Wow, you are really on a power trip.
I know that you think it is funny to take away someone's rights and hold them without due cause, as you just pointed out. Great attitude.

How about you pick up a book called "Code of Criminal Procedure" and learn a thing or 2. The things we do are backed by the State's laws & Federal Laws. If you didn't know already, Federal Laws encompass a set standard ruling for every state to Follow. State laws are a continuation of the federal laws fine tuned to govern its citizens but no state law can overrule a federal law. Here's some homework for you, read up on the laws of detention and let me know what you find.
i'll help you out a little:
Detention w/o Charge
I don't know everything, nor does any officer. We learn constantly every day. So if I'm wrong about any of this, I hope one of my brother/sister officer's on here will correct me
