Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Late night LEO visit

Not a LEO, don't pretend to be one, have no idea what their general procedures are. But sneaking around unannounced on someone's property, shining lights in windows, seems like a silly move that could get somebody hurt.

According to the LEO on this forum, that is called “ Handling it correctly “.

Idiots to the core, dangerous idiots.

I am not going to backread all of the couch commando replies but Massad Ayoob covered this.

If you’ve watched 4,000+ hours of his youtube videos, it’s covered.

you all realize ole Stevie is a fed right?

That could explain a lot, Det.

I see Obama's war on cops is alive and well with some of our 'fire brethren.


Don't be a F'n idiot and you won't get shot.


Unless it's the FBI, then you're going to get shot.


lol

Man, imagine the nerve it would take walking up to a house where a recent murder may have occurred causing a hangup, being alone and stepping in to the light to make an easy target.

I volunteer Travis or Jackoff Handy.

Pappy348 left a good post about this.

The telephone switching equipment sees the multiple shorts across the line as dial pulses, as from a rotary dial phone. I seem to recall that before I retired my company was planning to disable the dial pulse receivers since no one used or even made those phones any more.

Early in my career, the situation was reversed, not all of the equipment could handle touchtones, and when someone wanted touchtone service, their line location often had to be moved to provide access. Since only company-provided phones were legal then, that switch was made in coordination with a service call to install the new phone. Those early TT phones wouldn’t work if the line Tip and Ring pair was reversed either, which happened occasionally during cable work, or when people tried to DIY an extension (also illegal). It was common for people to acquire a touchtone telephone somehow and then find it didn’t work because either the line was flipped or their office equipment wasn’t TT capable.

Things certainly have changed!

Seems like a good idea to me. Had a cow hit by a car about midnight one time. Deputy came to the house to ask me to come get the cow. He drove up and started pounding on the side of the house and woke me up. No lights flashing, nothing to identify himself as LE.

As they say …….

Land lines can and give false 911 hang up on occasion. It has happened to me. The SO deputy probably didn’t want to get out in the rain that night and knock to see if it was ok. I felt sorry for his trouble. The problem usually is moisture related. Water in the drop corroding the conductors. Usually the tip side since it’s at ground potential. It can happen in the cable terminals and splices as well from rodent problems and moisture.
Be prudent and don’t creat a situation where somebody is going to get hurt.

An unwritten rule of LE, create a situation you can escalate and then escalate the hell out of it. Call for reinforcement so they can participate. Adrenalin rush.

As they say... this how it is "handled correctly."

Yup, might even get to bag a dog or two.

Okay Einstein.

That's not what I asked. I asked if you were the OFFICER how would you handle the call if you went to the 9-1-1 call and nobody responded to your knocks on the door? Or if someone inside yelled through the door, "Nobody here called you. Go away!" Play pretend pin the badge on and tell us what is the officer supposed to do in that situation.

I agree, but I know at least a dozen folk this happened to on stormy nights. A few of them after repeats turned the damn landline off !

One time it was when some friends had visitors, some in RV trailers and a couple of loving teens in a tent. It was an ugly situation.

Inmate?

nope, hes an employee hired to stir trouble on inna web forums

I can't believe this many people have landlines.

I'd just call my local sheriff. He'd tell me immediately if some guy claiming to be LE is on my lawn.
