The last time the LAPD traveled to Israel it the cost of the trip toppled $18,000. That money, according to sources  within the department, is considered to have been well spent.

Laws That Can Put a Damper on Your Love Life

We are a nation that has its roots set in Puritanical values, so it is not a surprise to find so many laws that try to enforce those same values in even our most intimate situations.

In many states, this is simply an oversight and hasn’t been enforced in ages. Some states, though, are happy to drudge up some of those archaic laws to charge people with if it suit’s a purpose at the time.
Alabama
In Alabama, it is illegal for men to howl at women. But, how else will unsuspecting women know that a man finds them attractive?

This is not …

Got Diversity? Some Say The SDPD Does Not

Minority populations not well represented within the department
Attrition in the San Diego Police Department is dwindling it's diversity.

Current racial break downs show the SDPD has 9 percent fewer Hispanic and 8 percent fewer Asian officers than it did just for years ago.

If you look at the citywide demographics, less than 50 percent of San Diego residents are Caucasian- but Caucasian officers make up nearly 60 percent of the police force.

OC Teacher With Hundreds of Pythons Arrested

At 888bailbond.com we often write about Unusual Laws.

Nearly every time, we remind folks that yup, this is a law because someone did it and lawmakers had to protect the public.

So, when we wrote about Unusual Animal Laws, we did not even think to include "It is illegal to keep hundreds of pythons stacked in your Orange County home."

Maybe if we had, we wouldn't be writing about this...
