 | CopCAST Episode 104 - The Woodie |
 It is hard to believe that we are posting the first show of 2009. Mack got the news on his promotional competition. We was not selected as the new staff sergeant but he will be taking on a new assignment and a professional challenge. Morgan discusses the new Cisco consumer electronics initiative. Rich has recovered from his pre-Christmas flu attack and is predicting the Steelers will take the Superbowl this year. The CopCAST crew is looking forward to another fun filled year of podcasts in 2009.
One Pennsylvania family discovered an unwanted Christmas guest. Remember not to talk during the movie - it can be hazardous to your health. Did Colonel Saunders have an alibi? It is amazing what some guys will do for $3.80. The new Wendy's value meal - the one dollar robbery. The Baltimore Police Commissioner earns his pay. An 88-year-old woman teaches an intruder that when you have him by the balls, his heart and mind will follow. In our keynote story, a Florida man has a woodie but it is knot what you think. Stupid people should not play with bombs.

| What will 2009 hold for you? |
 We are at the beginning of 2009 and the good news is that if you're reading this you're still with us. The bad news is your 401K may very well be on life support.
Resolutions New Year's resolutions, also called "Things I Wouldn't Bet On" are sometimes set up to fail. Don't use it for a vent about what you didn't accomplish of last year's resolution list but rather be practical. Instead of saying "I'm going to lose forty pounds in two weeks," try saying "I'm going to lose two pounds in forty weeks."
Attainable? I think so. My buddy Franco who's a retired hippie is a true child of the sixties. He went to Woodstock and Atlanta International Pop Festival (1970) where he saw Jimi Hendrix, Jethro Tull, Allman Brothers, Johnny Winter, Captain Beefheart (remember him?) and according to Franco, Jesus a few times. He has the short-term memory of stapler.

| Don't help the crooks |
Crooks aren't smart but they do take advantage of opportunities. You and I would question (hopefully) the morality of stealing something but these guys and girls don't hesitate. Sometimes that is exactly how they get away with it.
We get a number of reports, especially for items stolen from a retail area or office area where the victim saw the item, turned away, and moments later turned back and the item was gone. A good example of that is the purse-hanging-on-the-chair theft. If the thief is quick and calm, he can grab the purse and be in the car and gone before the victim notices it. This is especially true in the drinking establishments where the reaction time is sometimes measured in minutes rather than seconds.
If you went through our recent theft-from-auto reports, you'd see not one was a case where the thief smashed the window and THEN looked around. What he wanted was there to be seen. Look at how many targets are out there. Your car and a hundred others. Why would he break into yours to look around when moving along and finding another car with something in view is right next to you? Make it hard for these crooks!

| Cherokee teen killed by suspected drunken driver |
 A Christmas night out at the movies turned deadly for a Cherokee County teenager when her car was struck by a suspected drunk driver being chased by Canton police.
Shortly after midnight Friday morning, Canton police responding to a report of a possibly drunk driver got behind the suspect's minivan, which had an expired tag, Canton police Cpl. Stacy Bailey said.
When the officer tried to stop the suspect, "he took off from him," Bailey said.

| Why we act like morons at 4-way stops |
Folks, we can put a man on the moon-or at least a convincible sound stage looking like the lunar surface, but take any four American motorists and put them at a four-way stop and suddenly they regress to moronic levels of intelligence.
First to arrive and first to go. It doesn't sound hard-or so it seems.
Something, some weird Bermuda-Triangle like thing, somehow affects the ability of drivers to make a decision as to who got there first and then what to do about it. Interestingly, four-way stops allow us to see what type of personalities we have.

| CopCAST Episode 102 - Drunk On The Roof |
We cannot believe that this is the last show before Santa comes sliding down the chimney! Hopefully, Mack will get an early Christmas present and be promoted to Staff Sergeant. Morgan is hoping for some new sound effects and Rich wants a bell for his patrol bike.
This week our keynote speaker is the drunk chick sitting on the roof. The other place drunk chicks hang out is the McDonald's drive-thru, with a police escort. This country will never be safe until we get the guns out of the hands of the cats. Let's see, 44 plus 13 equals big trouble for a lady PTA member. You can run but you cannot . . . well you really cannot run. I have an idea, use your underwear to rob a golf shop. Before you can rob and an adult video store, we must check your identification. Did you get the drugs and money? No, I thought you were going to get it. Wireless controller leads to a stolen X-box.

| Talking to a wall |
 My town is fairly liberal/progressive/hopelessly naive about things. That means there are a lot of anti-war/anti-police/anti-violence hippie types roaming around. Eventually you are going to have someone chanting about police brutality or police states or some other type of nonsense.
Most officers will just walk away when they start to hear this stuff but I'm a little different. I consider myself somewhat of a debater and I like to have "discussions" with these folks. I listen to Democracy Now on occasion and I sometimes browse Indymedia. I don't follow this stuff because I agree with it. It's more of a professional interest. If you live in a town with a ton of activists, you are eventually going to have to deal with protests and it helps to know the issues.
