My rebuttal got deleted for some reason. This is what I posted:

5. False imprisonment is done by law enforcement. It might be intentional, but good luck prosecuting that as a crime. Fraud is retain lay a crime committed by a person or person against  a person or persons.
7. Indecent exposure is considered an assault. That's what makes it a crime. Illegal gambling is my choice. If your view is that it harms the person doing it, well, that could apply to zany of those choices.
10. Civil disobedience is a misdemeanor, at least, and it could be a crime. The definition of inchoate has nothing to do with crime.

Okay, I, of course, disagree on some of those answers.

Yeah, there goes that trivia question.

Yes!

Yes! R.M. Keegan is another valuable source for cop stuff. Aww. Am I really your favorite doc?

Aiding and abetting are really the same thing, IMO; they're just always said together. Accessory differs somewhat in that one can be an accessory by knowledge of the crime and staying mum about it - without actually aiding/abetting the criminal. One can be an accessory before and/or after the "fact" (crime). Check with AllenL to see if I got this right.

Congrats, Bonnie!

Okay, I was doing my voyeur thing and saw this thread. So I had to opine. Which meant I had to join this group. No biggie. It looks like a place for some spleen venting! So you're talking about writers who gladly take your reviews, and are even effervescent in their gratitude, perhaps - and you never see them review your stuff. A one-way street. The new site lets folk get away with this without what might appear at first to be untoward consequences, because there's always the Free site to pillage and mine, but let me tell you, bubs, an author who does that to me will never get another review from me until that author sees the light. And I'm not insisting on a one-for-one. Like CJ, I've reviewed a whole novella of an author on this site. Have I received even one review in response? No. Another author on this site - I reviewed multiple chapters of her lengthy novel and received one I-paid-my-dues review. Hey, we're no longer shooting for the Top Ten novel list anymore; that's not the issue. The more eyes on a posting, the better the chances that all the nits will be exposed. That's what I'm here for - the "free" editing! If I'm willing to use my time and experience to help out a fellow author, why can't said author do the same for me? And I'm not talking about those newbies on the Free site, but "established" writers who should know better. You all know who you are.   Jack

If the town has no PD, the Sheriff's Office would be in charge. Depending on the severity of the crime, e.g., a manhunt is required, the State Police could be called in. If the crime were committed in a national park or forest, I believe the FBI would handle the investigation.

Hey, JP - Kilmer isn't really a PI in Spartan, and I'm not sure he could be considered a rancher in Bloodworth. But an excellent try! I didn't think any other answer would be even close. But I took the question out of the list because it was misleading and didn't really involve a cop as a MC. At first, I was thinking Harper was a cop, then realized he was a PI. And Hombre wasn't really a NA, only raised as one. Hud was a rancher. Paul Newman, of course, was the answer to that one.

Hey, JP - You got two of my toughest ones - #7&8. In order to get credit for #3, you'll have to give me the movies. #6 is correct. #4 isn't. BTW, it's James Gadolfini - but he's not the right answer.  Thanks for trying!
