I am doing research of city police or sheriff's department lingo and terms for a Lush story. I would love to hear from someone so I can use authentic terminology/

The thing I've heard most in personal experience from law enforcement is, "Do you know how fast you were going?"

So I'd like to ask some specific questions. Please pm me and let me know if you're a policeman or policewoman or deputy or even a sheriff in the USA.

Thank you.

Believe it or not, but I've actually called up precincts and just boldly stated that I'm a writer and would like some authentic questions that may be used during an interrogation.

They ask a LOT of question in regards ... but if you get the right one, you're golden. I'd link you to my police connect on here, but I dunno if they want to be "outed" with the badge. I can ask, though.
