Seventh Series of Questions and Answers 



1. Q. When an officer is obliged to make an arrest of 

 an out-of-town driver for a traffic violation, said viola- 

 tion occurring before Speeders Court is in session on 

 that date, what is the proper method of handling such 

 cases when the violator is not out on bail, and he is 

 willing to go to trial as soon as possible? A. All persons 

 arrested and held in confinement must be taken to trial 

 as soon as possible in the above-mentioned case; if vio- 

 lation occurred before 8 A.M., prisoner and papers should 

 be taken to Speeders Court at 9.30 A.M. On date of 

 arrest, if violation occurred too late for morning session, 

 it would be proper to have prisoners and papers at 

 afternoon session at 1.30 P.M. For traffic violations, if 

 violator requested a later date, it would be all right to 

 grant request. 



2. Q. When an officer finds an automobile on his 

 post that looks to him to be an abandoned (stolen) car, 

 what information should be received before having same 

 removed? A. Call the captain's office, get the name and 

 address of owner, notify owner or have captain's office 

 notify him where his car is, and that same must be 

 removed within two hours. If car is not removed within 

 specified time, have it removed to garage, and make a 

 full and complete report to the captain. 



3. Q. When an officer issues an arrest summons to a 

 driver of a horse-drawn vehicle, what should he pay 

 particular attention to regarding arrest slip? A. He 

 should pay particular attention to mark on arrest noti- 

 fication the vehicle license number, and state plainly 

 if it is horse or two horse license, because the same 

 number is issued to different parties (such as 1246-22 

 one horse, 1246-22 two horse), and therefore when the 

 defendant fails to appear in court, and wrong name is 

 given, warrant officers find it difficult to locate right 

 party. 



4. Q. Define larceny. A. Larceny is the felonious 

 stealing, taking and carrying, leading and riding or 

 driving away the personal goods of another. Larceny 

 shall embrace every theft which deprives another of 

 his money or other personal property, or those means 

 or muniments by which the right and title to property, 

 real or personal, may be ascertained. Private stealing 

 from the person of another, and from a house in the 

 daytime shall be deemed larceny. Larceny may also be 

 committed by feloniously taking and carrying away
