My life in a nutshell, should it be a book?



How can Interpol take statements from you? It has no police powers. You do realize that Interpol acts as an administrative liaison between the law-enforcement agencies right? The way Interpol is portrayed in the movies is pure fiction.

Each member country of Interpol designates a point of contact as a liaison to other member countries. That way if the FBI wants to track someone down who is hiding in Australia, they can use Interpol to quickly share information with the correct Australian law enforcement agency. That's it.

You pretty much just got busted dude. Also I'm not sure what you mean by the DoJ taking statements from you. What official from the DoJ took statements from you? Usually the DoJ has federal law enforcement officers doing that. You do realize the FBI is part of the DoJ right?

What Do Interpol Agents Really Do?



I can't really comment about the rest of your story, but that little mistake about Interpol puts everything you said into doubt.

I think the people who accused you of talking bullshit were pretty much right. Even our beloved mod EMP is having trouble figuring this shit out.

I think there's like 45 Interpol agents in America (or some low number like that) and they don't even talk to the public.
 
I wonder if that imbecile SkyFire is hoping that this thread will die quietly and that people will forget about the fact that he's now branded a confirmed pathological liar.

I'm sure when he started this thread he was thinking:

"Hehehe these fucking wickedfire suckers. I am sure they'll buy my story hook line and sinker due to my high post count! Ahhhh time to get a good endorphin squirt by reading all the replies of people feeling sorry for me!"

The claptrap overload troll got trolololololed hard.

Yeah, but you're kinda making yourself out to be a bit of a crazy person too. Christ, you just go balls-out when you make a decision, don't ya?

Here, got a remedy for ya.

Turn off the lights, light some candles around the bathtub, pour a steaming hot bubble bath, put some good tunes on, pour a glass of wine, sit in the tub, and smoke a massive joint. No better way to relax than that.

Of course I don't actually smoke weed, because that would be illegal. I'm just saying if it was legal in this country, that's probably how I'd relax.

I'd only be a crazy person if my behavior had a negative effect on my personal or professional life. So far everything is stable there; I have IRL friends who I can trust when it comes to honest feedback.

I'm just having a little fun at SkyFire's expense. My blood pressure isn't even elevated at the moment, nor am I raging in real life. I am perfectly calm.

But I'm not a big fan of people who tell tall tales on forums and then refuse to face the reality that they lied and were caught.

Besides this is nothing. If an entity threatens my livelihood in real life, for example through a lawsuit, then my real ugly side comes out. It's my survival instinct.

I certainly do have a degree of OCD though. However I find it rather beneficial for the work I do. But at times it also causes me to get a little carried away on the forums.

You need to chill out just a tad.

Confirmation of that requires a psychological evaluation. I'm guessing your interpretation of things based on a single post doesn't qualify.

Of course a rational person might say, oh, he's just using the words incorrectly. That's cool, we all do it - it's not like I'd take something you said and make it out as you pretending to be a qualified psychiatrist - that'd be really stupid.

Apparently interpol agents don't -normally- speak with the public. I say normally, because we've all seen pictures of them escorting a person or speaking with a person of significance in a large investigation - the Kaspersky thing comes to mind.

I checked it out, and they don't, so I can only assume that whoever I spoke with, as I only remember one agents name, worked out of the Interpol Washington office, which appears to be staffed with DOJ agents.

So either due to the fact that it happened 8 years ago, or simply due to my having misunderstood something that was said, I thought I spoke to an Interpol agent. As the person of interest was in the UK, they'd have been involved so perhaps, if I misunderstood, that's where the misunderstanding came from.

This is all I can offer, and I have nothing to back down off of. As I recall, the second person I spoke with identified themselves as being from Interpol. Maybe I was mistaken, maybe not. I can only tell it how I remember it.

=== edit ===

Also, I appreciate your suggestion that I google interpol. As it turns out, most of what you had to say about them is incorrect.

Interpol is considered a police organization, in special situations they do put boots on the ground, and they do conduct investigations - all of which you seemed to think they didn't do.

Interpol does not have law enforcement powers and can not arrest people. It is a police organization in the sense that it acts as a liaison between multiple international law enforcement agencies. They can't put boots on the ground of foreign soil and arrest somebody. A police officer of a foreign jurisdiction can AT BEST accompany a police officer that can legally make an arrest in the jurisdiction that the law enforcement action is taking place.

Also please note that an Interpol agent in a member country like the USA typically is also an FBI agent, so in that kind of circumstance it would be possible to conduct such an arrest AS AN FBI AGENT.

I invite you to post the link on where you found this so that I can scrutinize it.

Also feel free to tell me about "most of the stuff" that I was incorrect about with regards to Interpol. Accusing me of that without telling me where I was wrong is completely baseless.

The following link seems to indicate that everything I said so far has been accurate:

http://curiosity.discovery.com/question/how-often-interpol-make-arrest

Interpol is not a law enforcement agency like any other; that is, it cannot arrest, incarcerate or try criminals. Interpol acts as an administrative liaison among its member countries' law enforcement agencies. When a crime or criminal crosses an international border, Interpol helps law enforcement agencies in all of the relevant countries coordinate their efforts and communicate effectively. If a bank robber in the U.S. escapes to Italy, the FBI contacts Interpol, which helps them connect to the right local agency in Italy. Interpol does more than just act as a liaison, however. It also is a joint information resource. Countries send information to Interpol and use it to gather information on subjects or crimes from other countries.
 
This is all I can offer, and I have nothing to back down off of. As I recall, the second person I spoke with identified themselves as being from Interpol. Maybe I was mistaken, maybe not. I can only tell it how I remember it.

but you waited 3 pages deep to reply to something that was pointed out to you in the first few posts.
 
I think SkyFire is talking out of his ass again. He's saying BlueChina is mostly wrong to distract people from the fact that he was caught lying. He didn't even bother to point out where BCG was wrong, and BCG already posted a strong rubuttal despite that.

So the Interpol office is staffed with DOJ agents? But you said you talked to a DOJ agent too in addition to an Interpol agent.

Also did the DOJ agent identify what sort of law enforcement agent he was? The DOJ has the FBI, DEA, ATF, Homeland security, etc directly under their administration.

Typically if you are not a law enforcement agent with one of the above agencies and you work for the DOJ directly, then you're a US attorney.

So did you talk to a US attorney then? Please clarify because what you are saying doesn't really make sense. Thanks.
 
Correction: Homeland security is NOT under the DOJ. Homeland security is a cabinet department of the United States federal government.
 
Also please note that an Interpol agent in a member country like the USA typically is also an FBI agent, so in that kind of circumstance it would be possible to conduct such an arrest AS AN FBI AGENT.

To further extend on this example, an Interpol agent in Columbia would be part of the Colombian Police. If an arrest is made, it's always by a law enforcement officer who can legally make an arrest in that jurisdiction.

SkyFire please kindly show me a post I made in this thread where I said something that is totally incorrect with regards to Interpol.
 
A police officer of a foreign jurisdiction can AT BEST accompany a police officer that can legally make an arrest in the jurisdiction that the law enforcement action is taking place.

I'd also like to add that I never said that an Interpol agent and/or foreign police officer can't accompany a police officer in a SUPPORTIVE role during an arrest. I simply stated an Interpol agent and/or foreign police officer can't arrest someone in a foreign jurisdiction.

I said the following:

1. Interpol does NOT have police (law enforcement) powers.

2. Interpol does not take statements from people.

3. Interpol acts as a liaison between multiple international law enforcement agencies.

I never said:

1. That Interpol is not a police organization. You put words in my mouth. Interpol is indeed a police organization. That is not the same thing as having police powers.

2. That Interpol isn't involved in investigations. Again you put words in my mouth. You don't need have police powers to be able to help in an investigation. A private investigator for example doesn't have police powers, but a PI can assist police in an investigation and even accompany police during an arrest. The PI themselves can not arrest someone however, except under the narrow scope of a citizen's arrest which is rare. Interpol agents can not do a citizen's arrest.

As a liaison between multiple police agencies around the world, Interpol obviously does help with criminal investigations.

3. That Interpol doesn't put boots on the ground. I simply said they don't arrest people, so any Interpol agents on foreign soil can only play a supportive role. They can not act as law enforcement agents.

Before you make baseless accusation about me being mostly incorrect about Interpol, please understand the intricate legal definitions of my statements. Otherwise you will just end up putting your foot in your mouth again.

They are Interpol
 
Today, it’s been over ten years since I was a bag boy at a local grocery store. On Sunday mornings I held the front door open for our customers and greeted them. One particular older woman loved me for it. She actually told me on several occasions that one day I would make a lovely husband. This afternoon, I walked into that grocery store holding my wife’s hand and the same old woman was on her way out. She held the door for us, winked and said, “I told you so".

My day job is under Ohio's division of DHS. I can confirm that Skyfire is bullshitting.

As has been said DHS, DoJ and Interpol are like umbrella organizations. They don't have field agents and don't directly take reports. They are basically clearinghouses. Anybody who says they've dealt directly with Interpol or the DoJ is full of shit. Local, state or federal law enforcement takes reports and then passes them onto those organizations if it's warranted.

Also, fuck the police.
