I went looking for supplies yesterday for my Halloween costume and was very successful. Got a few items that I’ll be able to use next year as well – if I’m careful. While I was out and about though, I had the opportunity to see several cases of “the Law in action”<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
In one busy and crowded store, as I was about to check out, a customer in line reported that his daughter was missing. A nearby customer reported seeing her in the children’s section reading a book. So, off he went to find her while the clerks called in a very disorganized “code ADAM”. There were several calls back and forth across the loud speakers before finally got her description and name – important things especially for the ones standing at the door. The father found her in short order and the code was cancelled – though a few people were still looking for her until they too got the update. Good that they had a plan – but it wasn’t well executed. <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
On the way home, I saw two cars pulled over. Not that unusual in itself, but maybe a little odd for the location and the time of day.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Went out to Burger King for dinner and saw a police office’s car – with lights going – almost, but not entirely blocking the entrance. The car in front of me edged on past him and I did the same. When I got my car parked I turned and saw that the officer had a teen-aged guy up against a minivan with all the doors open. The officer quickly frisked the guy and then marched him around to the back of the police car. There was a guy in another mini-van talking animatedly on his phone. He didn’t have any food in there that I could see and I’m guessing he was part of the “incident”. I went in, got my food, and left.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Very early this morning, I woke up to hear what sounded like dog barking in the house. I half thought it was somehow the neighbors dog had gotten out of there place and into ours. When I investigated it turned out that my room-mate was awake and had been blowing his nose. <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Yes, it sounded like dogs barking. He reported that he heard a gunshot and that was what woke him up. I’m inclined to believe that he was dreaming, but we do have some wooded areas near the apartment and some neighbors – if the local walmart<\/span> can be used as an indicator – that are not very refined. <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I’ll concede<\/span> that not all the events was directly related to law enforcement – but they could be connected without much effort. I’ll wrap up this post with one more not-quite-connected thing – tomorrow we relaunch the School of Law’s website. Coincidence? Ummm<\/span>…yeah, most likely.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
later…<\/div>\n
