oh and you stupid bad yellow ***** next time you have to say something to me say it so that everyone could see it.
From: bad yellow *****
Subject: cops
Message: How about this Mary? How about your stupid *** laugh when your boyfriend/husband is beating your *** to death and the cop who is coming to save your life is killed trying to hurry and get there to save someone who obviously doesn't deserved to be saved?
That's the one thing I hate about being a cop. People hate us, but they love us when they need us. We put our lives on the line everyday for scum like you and usually end up saving retards like you when there are real victims out there who deserve to be saved. Next time you need help, don't call us.
You see the stupid thing is that i'm not married and i never call you. To be honest you guys wont do anything. You hide behind your gun and crap in your pants when anything really happens. Do the world and everyone a favor and just DIE. People like you don't belong in this world

I think if you are a cop, you're a cop 24hrs a day. So they answer is yes. And if they don't stop you, they will call someone to stop you. |

If your breaking the damn law! Or maybe acting suspiciously like you might have or were going too. I'll bet you were government educated too. |

Yes they do in the vast majority of jurisdictions. This is governed both by statutes and by precedent. |

they usually wont because they are off duty and if they do its just like being at work. so they'd probably just warn you if they did stop you |

...One word answer.... "Yes".... (it's not a right, it's their duty, they are sworn to up-hold the law...24/7 that's why not everyone is cut out to be a police officer...) but I'm glad they are out there...!!!! |

in uniform or out of uniform police are entitled to police power as if they were on duty |

The question is direct, but a little evasive. If you are driving a vehicle and the officer is in his personal vehicle and in uniform---NO! |

yes they can . not only the off duty police, but a citizen can make and arrest. a citizens arrest. |

Yes and no, it depends on where you live. I think generally speaking, if an officer is within his jurisdiction, then he could legally stop you an establish what is called involuntary contact. However, if he is outside his jurisdiction, he has no greater rights than a normal citizen (except if it involved a very serious crime) to stop you. I would say that if you were stopped by one of your local off duty police officers, then he probably legally is protected. However, he is probably breaking his department's policy. |

Wow, Mary, do you have a mother? Where did you learn to talk like that, You should talk and act more like a lady, then you won't need to worry about off duty cops. |

They can certainly try.
Whether they possess the lawful authority will depend on state law. In CA, peace officers are generally peace officers 24/7. If I am off duty I can make a detention or an arrest upon lawful reasonable suspicion or probable cause, as appropriate.

Well they need to be in a police car to get your attention. |

You are a police officer 24/7, so yes they do. Now some departments have specific rules that don't allow it.
Next of course how do they stop you ? for traffic in some areas for example they have to be in a marked car. |
