Finding out a police officer's vacation dates

What is the name of your state?
Minnesota

this is more of an experience question - what are some of the ways i could find out a police officer's vacation dates, and how successful are they?

You can't.... and not very.

Oho! Not so fast, my friend. It just so happens that I was on the phone with my friend Ms. Cleo when I read this post and mentioned it to her. And she says that this officer is going to be on vacation the week of August 23, as well as taking a sick day September 3, (but he won't eally be sick), as well as 1/2 a personal day on November 2 to take his 3-year old to the doctor.

Hope that helps.

I have just figured out why posted this weird question. I thought you wanted to go fishing with the cop when he was on vacation, but I checked your earlier posts and you are trying to schedule your court date for when the cop is on vaction? Wow!
If you don't want ot deal with the consequences for driving fast - do not drive fast. You did now pay the ticket.

i have one question for you, mr. morals, and 90% of you other trolls for that matter. this is a forum for help about speeding and moving violations. that means that everyone that asks a question here, is charged with a moving violation; 99% of them broke the law and actually commited the violation. so if all you do is preach how it's wrong to break the law, why do you even come here, to a forum that is designed to help people who have broken the law?

Where the hell did you get that idea??? Simply, that is NOT the purpose of this forum!! If you had 1/2 a brain (not the driving 'half'), you would KNOW that this is a LEGAL ADVICE forum "intended to enable consumers to benefit from the experience of other consumers who have faced similar legal issues."

So, how is your question as to an officers vacation related in ANYWAY to a legal issue???

let me correct my self, this is this is a forum for help about defense against charges of speeding and moving violations. setting a trial date to land on a time when the officer is on vacation is a perfectly legal trick to help defend yourself against these charges.

And again, you are WRONG!! This site has nothing to do with setting up a defense against charges. We only offer advise to legal 'challenges' that beset posters.

In your case, asking about an officers vacation in order to try to set your ticket simply will NOT work... as I noted in my first post. Even if you did find out when his vacation was scheduled, the court simply would not set your hearing during that time. You are not the first nitwit who has thought to try to play games on the court.....

give me an example of how a "legal challenge" doesn't involve defense against charges. besides, no matter what wording you use to describe this forum, it is NOT meant for preaching that it is wrong to break the law, but it seems like that is all that half of the people on this forum do. basically just a bunch of people just as bad as little kids on other forums, hiding that fact by posting on a forum that is meant for people with real problems.

and trying to schedule a court date for a police officer's vacation is just one of the many ways of doing something that has a freak chance of succeeding. this has an even higher chance of success here, since you don't have to send in a letter to the court, simply talk to the court clerk.

Obviously, you are trying to obstruct justice and don't have any possibly valid defense otherwise you wouldn't be trying to trick your way out of the charges, that is why no one will help you. It was obvious you knew this also by making the two different posts, one about the moving violation the other about finding out when the officer's vacation was thinking that we were so stupid as to not see right through you. If you thought we were so stupid, why come here for advise, no one is going to aid and abet you and quite frankly would be afraid to have you on the road with your arrogant disreguard for the rule of law. Funny thing, if you do have a valid defense, no one is going to give you any advise. Like with getting cited you are upset that you were caught here also? See an attorney, a criminal attorney.

please don't assume what i meant to do. i do not think anyone on this site is stupid, which is why i came here for advice (duh!). i made two different posts as this is easier to answer and easier to search in case people need answers to these questions later. your accusations are ridiculous and untrue.

oh, and mr. "icanseerightthroughyou"; i made yet another post about this issue, long ago, nothing came out of it, i got a book and read up, and my problems were solved for the time. don't flatter yourself, you didn't catch anyone trying to do anything.

Phelix,

No agency is going to tell you an officer's future vacation dates. This is not a record that is subject to your discovery. There are a number of reasons why we won't tell people - and you do not have a right to know.

Oh, and if you DO schedule it for a time when the officer is on vacation ... guess what? HE can move to change the date just as you can! Probably easier as he knows who to call to get the job done with a minimum of fuss.

Additionally, when courts ask for an officer to put their vacation dates on the cite (and I don't know anyone who does) it's NOT so that you can make your court hearing then, it is to tell the court what dates the officer is NOT available. They try to work around the officer's vacation - not help you to try and create a situation where the officer will be a no-show.

So, it won't work unless the officer wants the overtime.

i know all of the above cdwjava; one thing that can happen is that the officer's vacation falls right on the speedy trial borderline, and he won't be able to continue because of that. it's a far shot, but it's possible. this is why i made another post about speedy trial laws in minnesota, but statute i found had nothing to do with my situation and i'm in the process of looking for the correct statute right now.

Well, since the games have begun, may I add what are your plans if the officer shows for court...even if on vacation. You know those subpeona things work on officers also. SO...if this case is of such great importance...he may show up sporting his Disneyland T Shirt prepared to testify.


Stupid mickey mouse games will not work. Do you really think that any department is going to tell someone the personal history or plans of any officer...come on...you may be someone trying to off the guy.
