No, none that I'm aware of.
If you were a cop and were in route to a call involving a serious three car accident on the highway, but on the way to the accident you see a minor 2 car accident, what would you do? <-- An actual question I was asked during my interview yesterday.

But let me answer the question . . . . . . If I was a cop it would mean one of a couple things. Probably that it was my first week and I had not lost my job yet due to enforcing the law the way it should be enforced. Or, that I had been in a major accident, lost a significant portion of my IQ and tactical abilities, and now I don't even question that we actually write tickets for things like speeding. Or thirdly, I was forced to do this because I needed the money.
In the last case, although I would be writing tickets for speeding, each night I would then go blow goats for $.05 a dozen so I could at least EARN my self respect back.

I would stop, quickly ask if everyone was alright, then call dispatch as I proceded to the serious three car accident.
At the scene of the minor accident, you seen an elderly couple. The elderly man is grabbing his chest as if he is having a heart attack. There is no backup for miles and the nearest ambulance is an hour away. Remember, you still have that serious accident up the road. What do you do?

I believe what they are trying to do is see how clearly you can focus and respond to priorites. They certainly don't want someone that will waffle back and forth. One key consideration to make is if the original priority call was assigned to you or if you were a secondary unit. If it is "your" call, you need to proceed to the first accident regardless.

A good answer, the obvious answer and the one I gave. But of course the interview board didn't stop there...

How did ACLR8 get such an extreme opinion of the police?
I am not pissed off that I got stopped. I'm pissed that after any reasonable 6 year old could determine that I don't have any warrants for my arrest, I am not carrying drugs, I am not a fugitvie in any way, I haven't been drinking or using narcotics, my car is mechanically functional enough to be traveling at the speed I was going, road conditions were sufficient for the same . . . . . . . the only thing that dude should say is "SLOW IT DOWN, and thank you for doing the jobs that few others can do or are even qualified / capable of doing. Thank you for defending freedom and democracy! AND SLOW THE DOWN!"
But that isn't the way a traffic stop goes.
NWA said it best!!!
My question is . . .. after rereading some of my posts, that were fervently typed in haste, does everyone think I am a completely uneducated moron?
