A day in the life of a SWC campus police officer.. interview with Lisbeth Niebla

Interview: I got stopped by a SWC cop

Interviewer: Mayra Niebla

Interviewee: Lisbeth Niebla

Me: “Why did you get stopped by the police Officer?”

Elisabeth: “I was going the wrong way in the parking lot, even though I saw the Do not enter wrong way sign I didn’t care because I didn’t think I was going to get caught.”

Me: “And what happened?”

“I did get caught. At first when I started hearing the sirens and I didn’t stop because I didn’t think that it was for me. I switched lanes because the policeman was behind me and I thought he was after someone else, until he used his speaker to tell me to stop, it was so embarrassing because people I knew where passing by starring, it was right at the school exit everybody could see me.”

Me: “What did you do?”

Lisbeth: “I didn’t resist and I pulled over like a good citizen, as soon as I saw the cop opening his car door I started crying uncontrollably I thought about what my parents would say and the amount I would have to pay and if that would end up in my record, I tried to stop crying but I just couldn’t. Before I realized the cop was next to my car window and he asked me to roll the window down, he told me to give him my license and registration and so I did as instructed. Then he asked me if I knew why I was getting pulled over, I lied and said no I asked him why. I started thinking that maybe he didn’t know and was pulling me over for some other thing.

Then he told me I was getting pulled over because I went through a do not enter sign, I lied again and I told him I did not read the sign and thought it was just a yield sign so I yield. The police officer asked me why I was crying, I told him that my parents where very strict and they would get really mad, hoping that the police officer would feel bad for me.  I guess my tears paid off because the police officer let me off with a warning and told me that my windows where very tinted and I should take the tint off, I told him I would and thanked him.”

Me: “What did you learned from this experience?”

Elisabeth: “I will always respect the stop, do not enter, yield, etc. signs at school, because now I know that you may never know when a cop may be near (laughs).”

Me: “Do you think the cops at Southwestern College are doing a good job?”

Lisbeth: “I really think they are doing a great job, even though I was upset that I got stopped, it’s good that they are always on the look out because some people are always on their phones, or not respecting the traffic signs and well that way they learn their lesson, also I heard that a long time ago in this school some students were racing and one of them hit a mom with her kids, she was crossing the street, she died and one of her kids also, it was very unfortunate, so it’s nice to feel like there are cops setting order on campus”

New York Congressman Resigns Over E-Mails

There are no secrets online. The internet is very helpful these days you can find everything, the problem with it is that there is no privacy, people have to be really careful with what they put out there because anyone can find it.  Especially if you are a celebrity or politician, people are watching your every move because they want to know more about you. Unfortunately Representative Christopher Lee apparently did not get the memo. What is wrong with all these politicians and celebrities, we keep hearing more and more about people cheating on their spouse, and doing things they are not supposed to be doing. People look up to these people, and we just keep getting more and more disappointed, they should use the power that they have for good. Lee made a good decision by resigning because he was going to get a lot of dirt from this.

I think that this story is news worthy because it shows us that politicians are not perfect and that they also make mistakes, it is unfortunate that he was cheating on his wife.

Also even though he cheated on his wife it does not mean that he is a bad politician, so people need to put a focus on his work side instead of his personal side. Unfortunately people forget about the good things people do but they never forget about the mistakes they have made. 

Girl Testifies Against Music Teacher She Says Molested Her

Most parents are very protective of their children, they want to know where they are, who they are with, who their friends are, etc. This is not only to be nosy, it’s because they want to know more about them and make sure that their child is safe wherever they are. Unfortunately there are some sick people out there, but nobody thinks that it could be someone that you know very well. It is very sad. In the story that I chose a music teacher was apparently molesting his students. The parents were probably in shock to find out about this specially since he was a close family friend who they thought they could trust in. That is why it is very important for parents to keep a close eye on everyone that is around their children, talk to their kids so that they know what to do if they were ever in this unfortunate situation, it is essential to have good communication, so that the child feels comfortable enough to inform their parents about it. Reading this story made my skin crawl, it made me think of how this is affecting the girls, they will probably have trust issues growing up, and other issues thanks to this psycho. How can he do this to these girls, he should have gone to a psychiatrist to get help. These girls did nothing to him. I hope justice is served and that the molester spends the rest of his life in prison, thinking about how he has robbed these girls of their purity.

This story is news worthy no doubt it definitely brings awareness to families everywhere to be careful of who they bring around their children, not only that but to know where their children are at all times.
