• Anything ‘published’ on the web is viewed as intellectual property and, regardless of whether it displays a copyright symbol or not, is therefore copyrighted by the originator. The only exception to this is if there is a “free and unrestricted reuse” statement associated with the work.

    In order to protect our members and TFL from possible litigation, all members must abide by the following new rules:

    1. Copying and pasting entire articles from another site to TFL is strictly prohibited. The same applies to articles from print or other media, and to posting photographs taken of copyrighted pages or other media.

    2. Copyright law provides for “fair use” of portions of a copyrighted work. You can copy no more than a SINGLE paragraph from the article to your post (3 or 4 sentences at most).

    3. You must provide a link to the article along with the name of website. For example: ww.xxx.yyy/zzz (The Lower Thumbsuck Daily News).

    4. You must provide, in your own words, a brief summary of the article AND your reasons for believing it will be of interest to TFL members. Failure to do so may result in the thread being closed or your post being deleted as a “cut and paste drive by.”

    5. Photographs and other images are also copyrighted. "Hotlinking" of images (so that it appears in your message) from other sites is also prohibited unless you own rights to the image. If you wish to share an image, provide a clickable link to it.

    Posts that do not follow these new guidelines will be altered or deleted by staff. Members who continue to violate this policy may lose their posting privileges at TFL.

    Thank you for your cooperation and your participation in TFL, the leading online forum for firearms enthusiasts.

I was just drifting through the various threads and had a thought:
What with the recent reorganization of the various sections here, was there any thought given to creating a LEO section, such as the "CopTalk" section over at Glock Talk? I know that that section gets its share of LEO trolls, but I've noticed a number of threads here over the months that might benefit from having an "Ask the LEO" section in which to post them.
Just a thought.
Perhaps since Cop Talk already exists, its pointless to recreate it here................
 
We went thru that discussion almost 2 years ago. Conclusion:
LEO's are Citizens just like the rest of us. Their interests and safety are ours; and, naturally, vice versa.

Many of our Members and Staff are active LEO. They're available for questions.
