  1. I did, as I was on my phone, sorry! The distance is 5km but of course they have powers when pursuing off limits. There is a piece of legislation, I think the Energy Act, that states if another Chief Constable, home office force or not, asks the CNC Chief for mutual aid they then automatically adopt that force's powers and jurisdiction. 

     

    It is pretty cool to see how states vary their LEAs. Was really awesome to see that some coroners have police powers...

    To continue on the coroner thread, coroners in SC have LE powers. In South Carolina, the county coroner is the highest elected law enforcement official. Above the county sheriff, even.

    And to reply to Bugi, I don't know where you got that local police has more power than county or state police. Locals have the least amount of power, then county, state, and federal, in that order.

  2. Not here--South Carolina. For instance, in my county, there are 6 major law enforcing agencies. Three of them are municipal, one is county, and two are state. You have:

    North Augusta Public Safety

    Burnettown Police Department

    Aiken Public Safety

    These three are municipal agencies. They have jurisdiction only within the city limits of their respective municipalities. Then you have the Aiken County Sheriff's Office. They have jurisdiction throughout the entire county. As a general rule, however, ACSO only polices the unincorporated areas of the county--it'd be overkill if they policed Burnettown, Aiken, and North Augusta as well.

    And then you have:

    South Carolina Highway Patrol

    South Carolina Department of Natural Resources

    They are the state agencies. SCHP patrols the interstate and highways, as well as responding to all motor vehicle collisions in the unincorporated county, as well as all incidents involving an emergency vehicle. DNR patrols the boat ramps and major hunting areas of the county, enforcing wildlife and boating laws. All DNR officers have full policing abilities, however.

    As SCHP and DNR are state agencies, they have jurisdiction throughout the entire state.

  3. I'm looking to start building my own desktop at some point in the not-too-far future. I want to be able to run most games on high settings, but I don't know what parts are best or anything like that. Assembling it won't be a problem, I have a few friends I can "motivate" to help me do that part.

    So, if anyone could suggest parts (I'll need everything), or even forums for computer building and such, that would be fantastic.

  4. All levels of EMTs can perform 12-leads here, but only paramedics can manually interpret them. EMTs and Advanceds have to take the monitor's word for however it interprets the EKG. EMT-Bs here can do Kings. However, Narcan is not an EMT-B approved drug here. Neither is nitro or epi-pens, per se. The EMT can "assist" the patient with taking their own nitro or epi-pen, but cannot give nitro or an epi-pen from the ambulance.
