THIS STUFF IS SOOO IMPORTANT TO KNOW.  Seriously.  It’s saved my ass before.

What do you do when you look through the peephole and see a badge?

Remember: You do not have to let the police in the house unless they have a warrant — or probable cause. If you’re having a party, turn off the music, ask your guests to chill, and ask that anyone who’s too intoxicated carry on in another room.

Go outside to speak with the cops. Close the door behind you. Although some scary precedents are being set these days, police cannot enter your home without a warrant or probable cause. By closing the door, you’re cutting off a visual — or olfactory — line to potential probable cause.

Be polite. Ask why they are there. “Good evening, Officer. What can I help you with?”

Where possible, assure them you will take care of the problem. If the police ask to enter, inform them, “I do not consent to any searches.” If a police officer gives you an order and you are confused about your position, ask, “Do I have to comply?” If they continue with questioning, tell them you’ll need to call your lawyer and that you will not answer any questions.

Ask, “Am I free to leave?” This is especially handy if, say, a group of you’d been too bawdy on the patio and an officer stops by. If he/she is getting a bit hot under the collar, politely ask, “Am I being detained?” or “Am I free to leave?” If the cop has no reason to hold you, quickly, quietly, and politely retreat inside.

The POC’s Bill of Rights when it comes to the Police. Remember. These are your rights. 

As a candidate, when interviewing, you want to come across as genuinely interested in the position and company. The best way to come across interested is to ask relevant questions that will make you seem inquisitive and appreciative.

At the end of the interview, usually the interviewer will ask the candidate if they have any questions. Here are 14 legitimate questions that you can ask that will help you stay on top of your job-search game:

1.       Who is your ideal candidate?

2.       How do I compare to the other applicants?

3.       Why is this position open?

4.       What is the person who held this role doing now?

5.       Do you enjoy your job?

6.       What do you like most about the company?

7.       Why did you decide to work here?

8.       What is the typical day like?

9.       Will I get a yearly review?

10.   Does the firm promote from within?

11.   Do you encourage additional education?

12.   How do you compare against other companies in your area?

13.   What is the timeline for hiring?

14.   How many interviewers?

     Don’t be afraid to ask questions throughout the interview, if you have any. Sometimes, when you address any questions you may have as they arise, the conversation flows better and you come across more organic than artificial.
