    [N/A] Police as Security at Local Stores

    It's not at all uncommon for police officers to work either in plain clothes or as a security guard while off duty, especially for smaller agencies. A friend who works as a deputy works unarmed security for the local hospital.

    [N/A] Police as Security at Local Stores

    To my knowledge, yes. The exceptions being mentioned previously. I know this. If a police officer is working off duty at a business which states that anyone in that business is subject to search, that rule doesn't allow a police officer to bypass 4th amendment restrictions and search whoever...

    [N/A] Police as Security at Local Stores

    Well, the best way I can explain it is, the fourth amendment rights are about protecting you from the government, not a private security guard. That being said, I'm sure there's some recourse in civil court if things go sideways when you refuse to be searched by employees or security. Much...

    (N/A) Adventure Sport motorcycle

    Mine was an 02. It was used with extras. Only thing I added was a Mustang seat which was great. Had to sell when the wife went back to school. It was a great bike.

    (N/A) Adventure Sport motorcycle

    A friend had one of those and loved it. Rode it from Anchorage to Dead Horse and back (and all around Alaska). He loved it. Stopped riding street bikes because of all the people distracted in cars.

    [N/A] Police as Security at Local Stores

    I'm not an attorney, but to my knowledge there is case law that allows officers to approach and converse with anyone. That includes requesting consent to search. (Some agencies prohibit consent searches by policy, but by law, it's still allowed). I know there is case law regarding searches...

    I just can't stand the front end on those. I do think maintenance would be high on the beemer, plus the dealership network isn't huge.

    [N/A] Police as Security at Local Stores

    A police officer can always just walk up and ask for consent, but consent cannot be assumed because you walk into a building with said signs (exceptions being airports, government buildings,etc). You are consenting to employees searching you so long as they're not police officers. I would...

    (N/A) Adventure Sport motorcycle

    Anyone on here have a1200-1300cc Adventure Sport motorcycle? I'm dreaming of a BMW GS1200-AS or a Triumph Tiger Explorer. I'm 6'5" and about 225, so I'm wondering how comfortable they are on a long trip. Do they get moved around a lot in wind? My old bike was a Honda VTX 1800 which was...

    [N/A] Police as Security at Local Stores

    A police officer still cannot search in that situation (except airports, government buildings, etc) without probable cause, search warrant, or consent. A hospital I work at has signs posted saying you are subject to search, but those searches are done by security staff or others, not police...

    [N/A] Police as Security at Local Stores

    That's not accurate. If a police officer wants to search property or your person, it is subject to the 4th amendment restrictions regardless of who they are working for at the time. A security guard or store employee is a different matter as they don't work for the government. However, if a...

    N/A HVAC system costs

    That's the recommendation from the installer. The current system doesn't keep up on days over about 85-90. The best it can do is 78, so it runs constantly in the summer.

    N/A HVAC system costs

    Luckily there's a drain available. Just looking at the systems online, they look like they run about 3k-3500. Another 3500 in labor seems high. Just want to see if I'm missing something. His price does include anew thermostat and pad for the ac

    N/A HVAC system costs

    Looking at getting a new HVAC system for our house. Current system is a 3 ton, 13 seer heat pump and a 80% furnace (probably 100000 BTU) Got a rough estimate for a 3.5 ton, 16 seer AC, 96% furnace with a 4 ton blower. I know some significant labor will be needed to switch it over. My...

    100LL price killing GA

    I started flying in 1990. 100ll was about $2.25/gal. Adjusted for inflation,it would be $4.19. Currently at MKC, it's about 3.85/gal. Rental price, however, has way outpaced inflation.

    Looking for a odd ball insurance policy (auto)

    Not sure how that works in Massachusetts, but you can't write a ticket in Missouri for lack of insurance if the vehicle is registered in another state. Same would go for window tint, front plate requirements, etc.

    Do you fly beyond your means?

    Will do. I was just there this morning with a student. Sad to see those planes rotting away.

    Nice. I've seen your airplane and wondered if it was a twin bo. Is the one tied down across the ramp from you yours too?
