Question

Is it legal for an inmate to clean a policeman's private car (owned by the policeman, not his patrol car)??

Answer 1

As long as you aren't forcing him to

If he's getting paid or doing it because he wants to make a good impression of something then it's ok, but you're forcing him then it's the equivalent of walking up to someone on the street and saying "I'm a police officer, clean my car"...which isn't legal to do..

Answer 2

you obviously did not provide enough information. it's fairly common practice though. when someone is in jail getting out to do anything is a privilege, it's called being a trustee. when there isn't work they "make work". in this case the inmate got out of his cage and the cop got his car washed.

Answer 3

That depends on the police of that dept,was the inmate authorized to wash cars? Was the inmate getting paid to wash his car?

Answer 4

yes if they r getting paid and as long as u don't force them to.

Answer 5

they can make you shine his shoes if they want  dude.. just tell them you want to clean yours out while youre out there anyway

Answer 6

Not if the police officer is abusing his authority. Being in authority does not entitle you to a free car wash. Report the scoundrel.

Answer 7

depends if they were getting paid

Answer 8

As long as the officer didn't force the man to wash his car.
