A lot of these posts are tragically correct. The simple fact is, I along with a majority of officers can be up to 30 minutes away from a call, in that thirty minutes I cannot help you no matter how much I would like to. From the time you dial 911 until I get there your safety is up to you.
Also just so some of the anti-cops know up front we arrest and take to jail, it is not our decision how long they stay there or what the charges end up being.
If I am not mistaken Florida is another state where we cannot arrest for misdemeanors not committed in our presence, and Trespass, in some states the person must be removed from the premises and warned not to return the first time, only after they return can the homeowner get a report number wait a few days for it to get in the system, go see the Prosecutor and file a warrant.
Got to love our criminal justice system.
P.S. share this with an Anti gun fanatic. We are there to serve and protect, sometimes we can't
