I get lots and lots of “ask a cop” questions from folks in all sorts of situations. They have run the gamut from desperate to hilarious. I was wondering last night: Is that worth its own blog? There are some out there, but I guess I could do it with that Philosophical flair.
Do me a favor and leave a comment. Do you think its worth a separate blog to “Ask the PC a question?”
Thanks…

I haven’t seen that many ‘ask a cop’ questions. Even so, I’d really be tempted to separate those questions into their own blog and encourage people to post. I suppose you have to weed out the trolls and flames from the real questions, but there you are.

Not so sure. I think your personal blogs and your answers are intertwined. Coincidentally I just read this from the Roanoke Cop: http://roavapd.blogspot.com/2009/02/unwanted-arrest.html
It really did a beautiful job of “humanizing” (for lack of a better word) both asker and answerer. On a second blog the message might have been lost; sure, you can link to it, but will people take the time to click through to an additional blog? I also wonder if there would be a significant difference in audience and thus, traffic. Or not, and it would be redundant.
I think I’m talking in circles.
You could make it a regular feature on a certain day of week, on your own blog. Or… start a new group blog!

I think you both make good points. Many of the questions are emailed to me, so I don’t get to publishing them here. On the other hand, I think probably Ms. Miller is on to something. I’ll have to ponder this further…
Thanks for the input!
