| Ok, say theoretically that fri. night I was talking to a guy on the phone, and he calls the police. And then the police call me, but I don't believe that they are the police. I ask them for identification, to which they have no answer. Are LEOs supposed to give proof of ID when asked? |
In this area, the caller ID will say, "County Government". That's a clue. If you don't have caller ID, you can ask for an offcier to come out to your residence, and they should-we would here. |
All the calls came private. Anyway I didn't believe that they were actually LEOs because they never gave me any proof. |

Hope this helps answer your question about LEO's. Traditional Leo Traits Generous and warmhearted Creative and enthusiastic Broad-minded and expansive Faithful and loving On the dark side.... Pompous and patronizing Bossy and interfering Dogmatic and intolerant The Leo type is the most dominant, spontaneously creative and extrovert of all the zodiacal characters. In grandeur of manner, splendor of bearing and magnanimity of personality, they are the monarch's among humans as the lion is king of beasts. They are ambitious, courageous, dominant, strong willed, positive, independent, self-confident there is no such a word as doubt in their vocabularies, and they are self-controlled. Born leaders, either in support of, or in revolt against, the status quo. They are at their most effective when in a position of command, their personal magnetism and innate courtesy of mind bringing out the best of loyalty from subordinates. They are uncomplicated, knowing exactly what they want and using all their energies, creativeness and resolution to get it, as well as being certain that they will get whatever they are after. Their followers know where they are with Leonians. Leonians think and act bigger than others would normally dare; the ambitiousness of their schemes and idealism sometimes daunt their followers, their practical hardheadedness and ability to go straight to the heart of any problem reassures those who depend on them. If Leonians meet with setbacks they thrive on the adversity. |
My duty Nextel comes across private, but I usually have the dispatch center route the call or call from the PD so there's some kind of "official" caller ID-also, if the party on the other end of the phone told you, "Pooolice, beyotch", and demanded that you produce "all ya bling an' rocks", and threatended you with "poppin' a cap in ya ass"...then they probably weren't the police.

I don't know, but I've never had the police call me. If they want to talk to me, they always come out in person. Every time I have had someone from local government call, the caller ID has clearly reflected that they were with the government. Also, if a number shows up on Caller ID, you could Google the number, which might give you some clue as to wether or not it's an "official" number. |
Going to need some backstory on this one Slick. |
So the deal is one of my buddies grabs my phone and drunk dials a guy hes got beef with. So they hash it out on MY phone. Well this guy is actually WITH a police officer (something I didn't know at the time) and they call my phone accusing me of harrasment. Well I take this as some punk calling me trying to be a cop. So I ask for some form of identification, at which point they tell me they don't have to giver me any ID. So i don't believe them. And I hear today that they are in the process of getting a warrant out on me. ETA: I was always told as a kid to ask for identification from anyone that was talking to me. |
Sounds like BS. It's way too easy for anybody to tell you anything, especially over the phone. |
Depends. If I'm calling someone and don't want them to know it's the po-po, then I use my cell-blocked number. If I'm calling someone, say, accused of phone harassment, then I'd use the phone at the PD or have dispatch route the call. |
Even if the guy is a cop, it is just people being dumb. Do people still have beef with each other? I thought that was a bit passe in this day and age. |
How do you "hear" they are in the process of getting a warrant? |
Met one of the LEOs that I talked to at the gym. And he explained to me that I was talking to real officers the whole time. And I wasn't being very nice.

You can talk to a cop how ever you want as long as he is not on duty. |
Where do you guys get this crap? |
