serious question - why would they need more than his phone number and first name for that?

So, what ever became of the prowler?



Nobody cared about the prowler.  But they sure put that fucking RP in his place.

I'd have hung up.

Contact info is to verify the person's identity and so they can be contacted if the guy is caught later on. You know, since the cops are liars. That way an independent witness can be called to to testify as to him being at the scene.

Of course, you aren't really that dense so...


serious question - why would they need more than his phone number and first name for that?

They are trained to get everything. Many of these callers change numbers like underwear, tracphones, boost phones, whatnot. The more info you have the easier it will be to get back a hold of them if needed a year later for court.

Fair enough.  I would make a shitty criminal, and I assume OP is in the same boat.  Hence the hesitation when prompted for all his details.

If he had been in North Dakota the cops would be there RFN. It is amazing how much they get in trouble for such a tiny % of our population.

They tried that shit once with me. I told him to get a warrant. Guy was speechless and begged my pardon. I said- I don't stutter. Get a warrant. This was due to me finding a purse and taking it to the cop shop so it could be returned to it's owner. Not like needing a material witness or something.

Cops do seem to be all about getting everyone at the scene's personal info. My teenage son was with friends when their two dogs got in a mortal fight. German Shep vs. lapdog. My son tried to save the small dog and luckily only received a small bite on his hand. We knew all parties involved and that both dogs were vaccinated for rabies so no big worries there. I came to get my son to bring him home and clean up his hand and by this time animal control and cops were involved. Cops didn't want either of us to leave without presenting ID etc. I told them the kid doesn't have an ID, not old enough for a permit and I don't have mine with me and high tailed it out of there. Not before a lecture on having ID with you always. He said it is now standard that all people at the scene present ID. I guess that is even if your only crime is breaking up a dog fight. I think most people just fork it over.

I said fuck it.  gave him the rest of my info and said I think it is pretty lame that a caller has to be subject to a NCIC checkfor simply calling.  I explained I have never had to go through that bs before.  his response was that it is proceedure.   WTF!

When and if they ever catch a suspect and prosecute its important to be able to pull every involved party into a potential trial.

To those asking. I have no problem giving my info.  I have nothing to hide.  I was just tossed a curve ball,  I have never been asked to provide more than first and last name and phone number.  Even having been involved in helping police catch thieves.  Hell,  I lent officers my night vision to catch people that were breaking into garages,  they used the nv to catch them,  returned my nv with a thank-you and a handshake.  Nothing more.  

I guess I also didn't think about the false report or ambush angle,  as far as possible reasoning for the info for request.

Hell, I've been out of LE 2 years now, and don't miss any of it one bit.

First guy I ever arrested was the "complainant" on a robbery call.

He was wanted for failure to appear.

The "robbery" turned out to be a "civil dispute" over drugs and/or sex.
He was an "I got deez cheeseburgers" kind of guy.

Called the fuzz, and on my way past the store on my way home, there were three police cars and a wrecker on the scene. For the price of a call, my community service for the day was complete.

Bear with me here.  I am posting from an xbox 360.
Had to take my wife to the hospital.  Between getting things out of my car for the hospital stay and going out to have a smoke once in a while,  I kept noticing a tall bald guy on a bmx bike riding through checking out cars.  the last time i caught him checking out my car I asked him what he is up to,  and he took off.  i notified hospital staff and they requested i call the police.  tried the non emergency number twice and got voice mail.

So I called the main dispatch and the SO answered.  I gave him a run down on what was going on and he said ok,  and then he asked my name.  No big deal gave him my first name.  then he wanted my middle,  then my last,  then my address and birthdate.  withou giving him my full address and birth date I asked him what makes him think he needs with that info.  his responce was to repeat his request.  

I said fuck it.  gave him the rest of my info and said I think it is pretty lame that a caller has to be subject to a NCIC checkfor simply calling.  I explained I have never had to go through that bs before.  his response was that it is proceedure.   WTF!

Now what did we learn?

Heh!  

I learned not to call the police here anymore.  Fuck em.

Guilty until proven innocent. Even for the reporting party now?  


Are you really that dense?



I'm dense for being skeptical as to what they will do with the info I gave them?   I know they ran an NCIC check with it.  

Oh and I won't call them anymore when I am here.  

Let me give you a hint.  I am not unfamiliar with law enforcement. With much of my immediate family being,  or having been LE.  And some very good friends who are or have been.  I myself almost became one.  

Funny how many LE get jaded with the job.

I had to tell two panhandlers to piss off on my way into a store last week. On the way out, one of their scroungy meth head accomplices told me I was an asshole for not coughing up 'change' for his woman.

Called the fuzz, and on my way past the store on my way home, there were three police cars and a wrecker on the scene. For the price of a call, my community service for the day was complete.

They're allowed to beg here but cannot be aggressive, as in blocking your path
We are over-loaded with the guys standing at intersections with their ' I'm broke, please help, God bless" signs

How do you know that?
Our dispatchers don't have time to run every caller
Responding officers may or may not request a warrants check for anyone they deal with, but so what
That's how a lot of outstanding warrants are found

If you really think this it's not worth trying to convince you otherwise. You really believe the dispatchers run every caller of a suspicious person for warrants?
How do you "know" they ran you? Did you sit next to them and watch?

It wouldn't be done here.
Like I said, the responding officer might ask for a warrants check but the only way a dispatcher here would know that you had a warrant was if they entered your name and your pre-existing name record in our records database popped up with outstanding warrants. They don't run every name they take. heck, they don't take enough info or put enough notes in the call ticket they create for us

Did I say he was black?   You should show me that part where I said that.  Point it out.  



My post was satire as 90% of those calls are just that.




Off to calibrate my sarcasm meter.  

It's been a really long day.

But just for curiosity sake, was he?

Show me where I said I believe they run all their callers.
There is no other reason to demand  full name home address phone number and dob.  I could see first and last name and maybe phone.  No other reason for the rest,  hell,  they have my phone number when I call.

I'll give you one reason
Multiple people with your name already in the system.
The DOB is probably the way they plug the right name record into the call ticket
They don't ask for DOBs here but that would be one reason I can think of that they'd ask for a DOB
It eliminates  all of the other John Smiths already in the database
Believe it or not there is usually no conspiracy, no evil intent, and a very good reason why we do what we do
