The official "Ask a cop/deputy anything!" thread

[jamesinaz]

In Arizona no one has a list of what firearms I own. There are none registered. However, the fully automatic weapons and suppressors are all NFA registered and the feds already know I have a few (ahem) weapons in my house.

I’m moving to Nevada in the next 45-60 days, but I will still work in California as deputy; it’s not worth it to leave my department at this point. I will commute the 3-ish hours in Wednesday mornings and drive home Saturday nights; staying with family or at the station during my four day work week. I cannot wait to get out of here, especially with the looming bill designed to tax people fleeing the state; penalizing residents for fleeing the problems politicians [and wayward voters] created. I will already be gone before that potentially goes into effect.

It is a real shame what's happening in so many places that should be great to live. Keep your head down and good luck with the move.

Thanks brother! I appreciate that. It sucks to have to make the hard decision to leave this state. There’s so much to offer here geographically, but it is run so poorly that it isn’t worth staying here anymore.

I get the sense it's going to get a lot worse before it get's better.

Edit: In the following post I incorrectly mentioned Arizona instead of Nevada. I've removed the part about income tax impact.

All the best to you. It sounds like a long work week for you but you need to go, go for it!



Regarding your comment about the looming bill to tax people leaving California: If you are referring to AB2088, I don't think you need to worry. They are proposing this new wealth and exit tax on individuals with incomes over $30 million per year. So, while this proposed bill is crazy, it does not affect us normal people at all.

Best of luck. Let us know how it goes.

It was not my intention to derail this great thread into a political discussion about California. My comment was simply to point out that one of the reasons that sedan_clan pointed out has nothing to do with those of us who make less than $30 million. Personally, I'm not at all worried about AB 2088 being a stepping stone to put an exit tax on normal taxpayers and I wouldn't make a life-changing decision such as moving out of the state based solely on worrying that it could happen someday in the future. Sedan_clan has multiple valid reasons for deciding to move to Arizona. I'm just saying that AB 2088 should probably not be a key reason because it only affects the super rich.

Not as big of an idiot as me, who left his Las Vegas hotel to drive across the California border without his road atlas and wound up in Arizona instead.....

Thanks for that bro! AB 2088 was just the straw that broke the camel’s back. It’s the last thing on a long list of reasons why I want out, but the principle behind the proposal just infuriates me. I never planned to retire here anyway, so I’m just making the moves 14-ish years before I officially punch out.

When you do start drawing retirement on funds you earned while in Cali, you will be responsible to FTB. (I think).

Gavin just promised he was going to reduce red tape and make the infrastructure and homeless issues a thing of the past. You aren't going to stick around???

I have 14 years left on this county based pension plan, so no time soon.

It's the ish part that makes me smile. I can imagine the citizen calling the Barstow CHP to let them know they saw a Chalk Gray Porsche headed toward Nevada on I-15 going really really fast. Barstow CHP replies, no worries, that's just Mr. Clan headed home from work.

Hahaha! That is hilarious. Thankfully the 992 isn’t ever driven to work. My low-key Corolla is my commuter and it’s inconspicuous as hell. I made it from Henderson, NV to Rancho Cucamonga, CA tonight in 3 hours flat. Such an easy drive!!!

Should IT staff be present for the Chief's swearing ceremony?

Haha! Dress to the 9’s and go.

One tech was all proud, showing off her new multi-color Nikes.
"Did we forget the Chief's ceremony today?"

I'm all in grey, with the IT logo shirt. Oh, and I actually shaved . . .
