First off, I'd like to explain what laws I broke, I was never caught, but I have manufactured, and used said machine guns for personal use, I AM NOT a criminal, and I have since(Years ago) destroyed the weapons.

Second, I DO NOT own any illegal firearms now, and DO NOT know anybody who does, so anybody reading this who thinks they have an easy arrest, you've got another thing coming, as mentiond I am not a criminal, and never was, except breaking a few laws, which are unconstitutional anyways.

My question is, I know I'll be polygraphed, but will they catch me on this? I know they couldnt get specific enough to actually know the laws I broke, because I can walk away, but Would it be a waste of time even trying with this over my head? It was pretty dumb of me to do, I know.

they will probably ask you if in hte past you ever been accused or proven guilty of an offence and they will probably ask you too if you ever commited a crime or breach the law in anyway without being caught. Answer and be honnest, its the only way for you.


But it depends of many factors... depends since when it happened, how many times, the type of crime, were you alone or with somebody, who are those people that you were with, have you ever did it again?

Your attitude right off the bat is crap, so I see no place for you in law enforcement. I can imagine you on the street now, deciding which laws are and are not constitutional. :rolleyes:

My department picked up a serial killer a couple months ago... He never got caught so what do we care? He seems like a nice enough guy.

BTW,
crim‧i‧nal  /ˈkrɪmənl/
–adjective
1. of the nature of or involving crime.
2. guilty of crime.

Saying you aren't or weren't something doesn't magically mean you actually aren't/weren't.

So you did it. OK that's history, It's your excuse making and blaming that really stands out. In your mind it's not your fault, huh? Keep that attitude toward all that you do, you will do something like that again, justifying it before the fact, or after, as you tried here.

You broke the law. As you described, it was a Federal felony(s), likely a felony on the state level. That is a DQ. Look for another line of work.

As stated by others, this will come out during the background/polygraph. Look for another career.

I believe that a blue vest with the words " may I help you ?" emblazoned across the back is in your future.

First of I would like to thank you for making my day. I have not had a good laugh in a few days. :)

Second I would like to ask, if breaking the law does not make you a criminal then what does? :confused:

... as mentiond I am not a criminal, and never was, except breaking a few laws, which are unconstitutional anyways.Sounds like you should just skip the executive branch and shoot for a place on the bench, eh?

With your attitude, I say, stick with working for McClown ...

Woah! Lookout folks we have a constitutional scholar in the house asking questions of the peasant cops!

I firmly believe the guy posted the question just to read the responses.
