Police Report Request Form

If you don't want to take your time and money to go to the police station to make a formal report, don’t do it. There will be a call card in their system that someone reported the incident. If they don't care enough to take a phone report or to send an officer to you, then you are not obligated to go to them. If you didn't see the person who did it, it is not likely to make much difference in finding them. The person who is the victim will still be claiming on their insurance or paying for repairs out of pocket.

More than 15 years back, I was appearing in a CBI case on behalf of an accused person in a Special Court in Mumbai. The examination-in-chief of the accused is required to be conducted by the Special Public Prosecutor in this court. As per law, no leading questions (except trivial questions such as name, address, etc.) can be asked in the examination-in-chief. However, what I noticed in that case was that the judge was having a copy of the police (CBI) statement (recorded during investigation) of the witness before him. The judge was directly asking questions from the witness on the basis of the police statement; then, depending on the reply of the witness, he was dictating the witness statement to his stenographer, and sometimes efforts were willingly or unwillingly made to make such dictated answers to be in conformity with the police statement. What the law requires is that the witness should depose in the court independent of what he stated before police. In fact, under law, his police statement is not signed by him to ensure this.I objected to this procedure being followed by the judge. He said that this is the usual procedure being used in the court and no lawyer objects to it. However, I persisted and politely informed him that what he was doing was a 4-in-1 job. He was judge, prosecutor, police (to some extent) and the witness. I informed him that it is the job of the public prosecutor to ask questions from the witness and not the judge’s job, and also that he should perform his job only of the judge. The judge replied that he was trying to save time. Though he did not like my saying, yet I told him that instead of doing all this, he can directly read the police statements and pass the judgment directly since the trial would in any case be a farce in such situation. My objection was that I can fight with the prosecutor but it would be difficult for me to continuously fight with the judge if he starts performing the role of prosecutor and starts filling in gaps in the investigation by directly reading from the police statement and asking the questions (including leading questions) from the witness, and then on the basis of the answer given dictating them by moulding them (as far as possible) on the lines of the police statement.We had heated arguments for some 20-30 minutes. Initially, he bluntly asked me to challenge the procedure before the high court, if I wanted. However, I kept arguing and explained the requirements of the law, especially relating to the independence of various wings of the criminal justice system (will come back to this topic in a while).Ultimately, the judge agreed and asked the prosecutor to examine the witness. I had done that unpleasant thing at the risk of seriously antagonizing the judge. Over the course of next 2-3 days, I had to make some extra genuine efforts to ensure that he does not become prejudiced against the accused whom I was representing. But, as I later found, that judge was an excellent judge and an excellent person. He used to follow the wrong procedure under misconceived notion that he was saving time by combining roles and also perhaps because he knew that the public prosecutor (as usual, generally) was not professionally competent. Ultimately, in that case, I got acquittal for client. Not only in that case, even in other cases in which I appeared in his court, I got acquittal in favour of the persons I was representing. That judge subsequently became a judge in the Bombay High Court. And, after his retirement from Bombay High Court, he became a judge (judicial member) in a national level tribunal.The purpose of writing this personal experience is to highlight how necessary it is, under our laws, to ensure that police, judiciary, prosecution are independent of one-another. It is a must if we want to ensure real justice in a given case. Let me now explain in brief about the criminal justice system.Criminal justice system in India involves the following institutions:(1) Legislation or law making by Parliament or State Legislature.(2) Police for law enforcement (for crime related laws).(3) Prosecution for conducting trial of cases in courts.(4) Courts for deciding criminal cases.(5) Correction and rehabilitation services, such as jails, rehabilitation centres, etc.All these wings are supposed to be independent of one another; especially police, prosecution and judiciary are supposed to be independent of one another.After 1973, executive magistracy and judicial magistracy were separated from each other. Now, District Magistrate may have some (though not much) control over certain activities of police, but he has no connection with the judicial magistrates. Therefore, whatever little direct or indirect connection that previously existed between police and judiciary (through the District Magistrate), has ceased to exist now.Previously, the prosecutors in the lower (Magistrate) courts were controlled by police department. Now, prosecutors are supposed to be completely independent of the police department.The reason for these different wings of criminal justice system being independent of one-another is to ensure justice and fair play. Otherwise, suppose police and prosecutor work under the same authority then there is a likelihood of them working in tandem to ensure conviction of accused persons involved in various crimes.Likewise, if police starts working directly under the judiciary, then judges are likely to be more sympathetic to the investigation conducted by the police and are not likely to be impartial to the accused persons. A biased mind cannot be independent.It is noteworthy that police derives its powers of investigation mainly under the Criminal Procedure Code (Cr.P.C.). The power to investigate is an independent statutory power of police. Even the courts cannot interfere in the exercise of these powers. The Supreme Court has repeatedly held that courts cannot give specific directions to police to conduct investigation in this way or that way.Of course, it is true that recently, in some high profile cases, the Supreme Court has monitored the investigation (and in some rare cases, the high courts also). They have done so in exercise of the superior powers vested in such courts under the highest law of the land, namely, the Constitution of India and not under the Cr.P.C. But, even in these cases, monitoring by Supreme Court generally does not mean giving specific direction to investigate in one way or another. Such monitoring is in the form of seeking periodic reports of investigation (to let police know that court is watching their investigation), keeping political executive out of such cases’ investigation, etc.But, as far as lower courts are concerned (i.e., District Courts and Magistrate courts), they do not have even such limited powers of monitoring the investigation.It is of utmost necessity that investigation is done by one agency, the prosecution is conducted by another agency, and the job of judging the case and its evidence is done by yet another agency, namely, the judiciary.If you combine one role with another, or bring one agency under the direct control of another agency, then it is the justice that is compromised.Of course, in a way the actual actions of the police by way of investigation are ultimately scrutinized by the judiciary, at the time of arrest, custody, trial, recording of evidence, etc. But, there is no direct control of judiciary over police. And, there should not be any such control. As I mentioned above, the Supreme Court has repeatedly held that police has its independent statutory powers of conducting investigation in criminal offences.Lastly, let me also point out that though police department works under the executive (including the political executive), in so far as investigation is concerned even the executive cannot have any control over police, under the provisions of law, such as Cr.P.C. Such executive may only have administrative control over police officers, but not operational control over the investigation. It is a different matter that in some cases, politicians still manage to control investigation (such as against their opponents or other influential persons) in one way or another through some pliant police officers. But, law is clear: police has independent statutory powers of investigation.

This pretty well sums up my opinion of David Hogg. He has been coached, coddled and cosseted by Michael Bloomberg and has capitalized on his celebrity as the survivor of a tragedy that was allowed to happen through ineptitude and failures of the Broward County school board, the administration of Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, the sheer incompetence and cowardice of the Broward County Sheriff’s Office and a failure to properly route information by the FBI.Sheriff Scott Israel was removed from office by Florida Governor Ron DeSantis in part because of the failure to properly respond to the incident.But David Hogg and his coterie of schoolmates gave a free pass to the sheriff’s office, Deputy Scot Petersen and everybody else in order to focus blame a Smith & Wesson rifle and a small business that had done nothing wrong at all. The business, Sunrise Tactical, was forced to close its doors after the shooting.It is highly ironic that a person supposedly damaged for life because of the actions of a person who passed a background check is such a strong proponent of them. The shooter was able to pass the background check in spite of the fact he had a long history of interactions with law enforcement due to his violent behavior. He had no criminal background, no record because he was never prosecuted for his offenses. That’s because of the policies of the Broward County school district and the Broward County Sheriff’s Office.This is not NRA propaganda. These were among the findings of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas Commission created by the state of Florida in response to the incident. The commission released its preliminary report in January of this year.On to my opinion of polls and the people that participate in them.Last week, NPR (National Public Radio) and the PBS Newshour conducted a Marist poll of 880 adults. The poll was conducted from February 5th through 11th.The poll showed that 82% of adults believed that background checks would make a difference. Just 15% said they would make no difference. 68% of self-identified gun owners were in favor of background checks but 30% said they would make no difference. The poll also found that 60% of respondents favored a ban on “assault weapons” and 64% favored creation of a national gun registry. 65% also believed a ban on high-capacity magazines would make a difference.The last question in the survey was, “From what you have read or heard, do you think, compared to 25 years ago, the per capita gun murder rate in the U.S. is higher, lower, or about the same?”In an odd coincidence, 82% of those surveyed believed that the gun murder rate had remained the same (23%) and the majority (59%) believing it was higher. Only 12% believed the rate had gone down.The latest data we have is from 2017. the 25-year period that includes both beginning and ending years starts in 1993. According to data complied by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the gun murder rate fell by more than 36% from 1993 to 2017.So 82% of respondents had no idea what they were talking about. That’s not surprising; they have been fed a stream of distortions and lies by politicians and media and by celebrities who don’t know what they’re talking about, either.Political party didn’t seem to matter except in the percentage of ill-informed people. Only 8% of Democrats and 9% of Republicans were aware of the truth. I am almost embarrassed to say that gun owners did no better than the average of the respondents.David Hogg’s comment is interesting. I am not afraid of a background check, I have gone through far more of them than he has, especially considering that he can’t even legally purchase a gun since Florida raised the minimum age to 21.But the background check law currently being rammed through the House isn’t about buying a gun. It’s about transferring a firearm, which is a whole different ball of wax.The federal government considers anything that shifts the physical possession of a firearm from one person to another, even temporarily, to be a transfer. If I hand my wife a gun for her to look at, that’s a transfer. When she hands it back, that’s another transfer.The bill currently being marked up does exempt me and my wife handing guns back and forth. I can even give her a gun to keep. I can do the same for my children.I can also let a friend use one of my guns at a shooting range or while hunting. But, if I let him keep the gun after the trip to clean it as a favor to me, that’s a felony, even though he is going to return it the next day.As a sop to the NRA and gun rights advocates, the bill specifically prohibits national gun registration. In the first place, that’s stupid. Establishment of a federal registry of guns or gun owners has been illegal since 1986. So this bill does what? Makes something that’s already illegal “illegaler?” In the second place, it makes the law impossible to enforce.If the government doesn’t know who owns what guns, how is it going to monitor the transfers of those guns? How is it going to make a case for prosecution? Why wouldn’t a police chief or county sheriff figure that they have better uses for their resources than chasing down cases they can’t prove. Are we going to have sting operations to catch Mr. Jones selling his old hunting rifle to his next-door neighbor? What if Mr. Jones and his neighbor said that it was actually sold before the law went into effect?Noted gun control advocate Garen Wintemute did a study of three states that enacted universal background check laws, Colorado, Delaware and Washington state. Only Delaware had a signNow increase in the volume of background check inquiries. The volumes in Colorado and Washington remained essentially flat. The homicide rates in all three states rose in the years after the laws went into effect. Wintemute concluded that the laws were ineffective because people ignored them and, in some cases, county sheriffs weren’t enforcing them.Moreover, results from other states with universal background checks are mixed. Illinois and Maryland, both of which require checks on every sale outside of immediate family, consistently report some of the highest homicide rates in the nation. Washington, D.C. is at the top or near the top every year.The thing is that I am not afraid of a background check: I am concerned about what will happen when they continue to prove to be worthless.

I was a bit violent here, so I’ll not reveal my identity.But, some background first, I’m a buff male over 2 meters tall and back then I used to weight more than 100 kilograms. My weight is not composed of fat, it’s composed of muscle and generally I’m not someone you want to see yourself in a fight with, especially if you’re skinny/unarmed/not ready for a fight generally.I was with my mother in Paris, visiting her sister, or my aunt. We’re Irish and she lives there, because she’s married there.Unfortunately, we arrived far too early and my mother’s sister was not present just yet, we decided to eat in some Paris restaurant and I told my mother to go inside, order me whatever she orders for herself and I’ll be back, after I finish smoking my cigar.The waiter, a skinny dark-haired 19 year old boy refused to serve my Mom because she wanted to order in English, he refused service and when I entered the restaurant after my cigar, I heard him hurling insults at her, calling her a ‘Whore’, ‘English bitch’ and other insults. Unknown to him, and to everyone there, I am a certified French-English translator and I told him in English to serve the lady because she’s clearly not being impolite.He hurled insults at me too, calling me a ‘big fat ugly American’ (first time someone calls me an American). In that moment I grabbed him by his shirt and told him in French ‘I speak French too, maggot’. In that exact moment, he became pale and started sweating uncontrollably, he was not prepared for a fight and was afraid I could rip him apart, I simply told him in French ‘Call someone less of a bitch than you, and that can actually serve food’.It was my first time in Paris, and I would have never believed that Parisians would be so rude to foreigners. In other towns, the French were not only polite, but also helpful, but Parisiens (pardon my generalization) made me hate the city of Paris, and I hope I never visit that place again.

Do you mean a report ? In Indiana you can- after an incident , write your own version- the form should Be online. It’s been some years since I did this, so perhaps it’s changed

Yes you can. Should you? Perhaps, but remember that the 1099 is what the IRS is going to receive. There could be differences.You may receive a 1099 which is missing basis information. You will indicate that, and use your records to fill in the missing information.My suggestion is to use the 1099, cross-referencing to your statements.

If that is necessary, the university or the faculty will inform you of that. These things can vary from university to university. Your best option would be to check your university website, financial services office or the Bursar office in your university.

Many years ago, I saw my own biological father begging.My parents underwent a nasty divorce when I was still inside mom's womb. It was nasty because my father abused my mother physically. He would come home drunk and beat her up. Sometimes, he never came home and spent his night at brothels. He fucked different women, and even slept with my mother’s friends. Ma never complained. He tried to force mom to abort me. He never wanted me. ‘Girl children are fuckin’ useless’, he lamented once.My dad was rich, back then he owned a huge house, some properties and a successful business line. Also, he inherited large sum of wealth from my grandpa. He was bloody rich. He could afford anything. Girls threw themselves at my father for he has money. At least that’s what he said. He was a spendthrift, throwing money at prostitutes, gambling and expensive wine. He treated mom like his doormat. At one point, momma felt violated and left. Just like that.She left the marriage and raised me alone. Dad never begged her to stay either… ‘good riddance’ was what he managed to say when she left. My grandparents were willing enough to take us back into their lives and help us now and then. We struggled, alot. Over the process, mom took up many jobs and shifted around till we finally settled in a quiet neighbourhood. Mom became a lecturer, and I was about to graduate from my high school.It was quite far from the place we once called home. My high school was near our neighbourhood so I cycled to school daily. The path from my school back home was ten minutes of happiness for me.I would pass this abandoned park with dented streetlight and stop there daily after school to look at the lake. The lake there has lotus and small fish, birds stopping by to rest and chill. A beautiful sight. One fine day,I saw a middle-aged man—probably in his early 40’s curled up near the edge of the pond fast asleep. He wore dirty clothes, a long beard partially covering his face, a filthy appearance…. My heart skipped at beat.Yes. It was my father, who seems to be a homeless man now. Homeless and begging for mercy.I looked closer. It can’t be. I scurried home early that day and pawed my mother’s marriage album. It made my heart skip yet another beat. I had thousand of questions running through my mind. What happened? What is he doing here? Why now?The next day, I went to the park again. I trotted carefully calculating my footsteps. The distance seemed longer than usual. The middle-aged man sat at the entrance near the park, wide awake this time. He had a small silver cup filled with some coins beside him. I approached him.He held the cup in front of me, shaking it. It rattled with coins and pain. I feel my eyes sting. Damn. He doesn’t recognize me. Then again, why would he? I wasn’t born yet when he rejected my existence.I took my purse out and emptied all my money inside it. His eyes were wide with excitement. I’m sorry you have to go through this, dad, I thought. I said nothing. I asked nothing.‘Buy some nice food.’ I had to bite my tongue from adding dad after my sentence. I went there daily, for the next two months. Without telling mom, of course. For two months, his useless girl child brought him food and some money. Then one day, he was not there. He had left the place. I found the silver cup abandoned near the lake.I took the cup home along with those shredded memories of my father. I still have the cup with me. I guess not all things in life can be justified or explained. His karma caught up with him way sooner than I expected. I feel bad for the man who fathered me. I love my mother but that doesn’t mean that I hate my father. I just don’t know him.I forgive my father. Please spare him now, karma.
