Training day 3 of 5. I'm hoping to go to Advanced Traffic Investigation training later this year along with Accident Reconstruction. The pre-requisites needed are Basic Traffic Investigation and Intermediate Traffic Investigation, both of which I've already taken, been certified through the state and apply in the field. Getting Accident Reconstruction will be a game changer. |

Yes our big cities do have crime, but so do all big cities. So what is the common denominator there?

"Q: Is drunk driving increasing or decreasing? A: Between 1991 and 2017, the rate of drunk driving fatalities per 100,000 people decreased by nearly 50%. For drivers at the legal drinking age, that rate decreased by 68%." I noticed CA is the second worst state for fatalities (2003 - 2011), behind only Texas. But they are also the biggest states, & I haven't seen per capita #s yet. https://www.thezebra.com/resources/r...tatistics-2020 Murf |

We have a saying in Brklyn: "Trust a car & you soon die". Bill de Blasio is gung ho against traffic fatalities, reshaping much of the city. Cities are not like country areas, and we usually don't pretend to be. Because of the opportunities that cities give folks, we deal with a larger, more diverse, and more needy population. Some of these people make the wrong choices and use guns to improve their material wealth. Many folks in cities are wealthy, making for more targets. We could also compare the need for autos with the need for guns in various places and situations. Murf Last edited by Littlebear; 04-14-2021 at 09:08 AM.. |

You always have these know-it-all Google search responses and won't listen to anything else. I tell you we've averaged a certain number over the last decade. You rebut with some other statistic. I am sitting in DUI training and talking with the DA and state/federal experts who know what they are talking about, and you're quick to tell me I don't know what I'm talking about ....yet again! |

16. States with a higher density of guns experience more gun deaths 17. More police officers are killed on duty in states that have more guns 22. If all mental illnesses in the US were to be cured overnight, violent crime in the country would fall by only 4% 24. Less than 1% of victims of non-fatal attacks use guns for self-defense A number of crimes stopped by gun owners statistics, including a comprehensive analysis carried out by the US Department of Justice, have consistently shown that actual instances of gun use for self-defense are simply too low to justify carrying firearms in public. In fact, the widespread presence of arms ends up making conflicts deadlier than they have to be. 25. Concealed carry permit laws can lead to increases in violent crimes by 13-15% In fact, a Stanford study on gun violence trends has shown that states that have enacted expansive laws that permit carrying firearms, mainly for self-defense, end up experiencing a significant rise in violent crimes within a decade. Accidental shooting statistics have shown that guns in home raise the risk of homicides by several degrees. The presence of a gun in a home with a history of domestic violence increases the risk that a woman will be killed by 500%. A suicide using a firearm also becomes that much easier when a gun is close at hand at home. https://safeatlast.co/blog/gun-violence-statistics/ Murf |

2. Right. Sometimes a handgun is a better tool. Sometimes a shotgun is better. Some people can't operate large guns because of physical limitations, so small pistols are best for them. In any case, I would rather have the option to chose the best tool for myself than rely on some government politician to tell me how to life my life. 3. Everyone should be able to walk around Walmart or Target with a semi-auto across their back. Every free adult should be able to go into that same Walmart and buy a brand new machine gun and the ammo to feed it with no questions asked. |

https://www.chp.ca.gov/ImpairedDrivi...on%20FINAL.PDF Do you have figures comparing drunk driving arrests vs 'other' DUI arrests? Figures for deaths in those categories? |

P.S. Previously drugs/alcohol were combined in 23152(a) CVC, but the state eventually split them so we could track separately. |

And also for you mentioning you needing the AR and how it could be the best tool for your job. I have no problem with yourself being a cop carrying one in your squad car. Indeed it may be the best weapon for you if needed. But like I said, I'm not saying people shouldn't own weapons. I do think though as I previous mentioned we need tighter gun control laws and potentially limiting civilians on what can be owned (such as ARs). |

Are any of the cops here happy that they don't have to bust pot smokers so hard now?
In the years leading up to pot legalization, when you could see it coming, did you go lenient on the users you dealt with? Murf |
