LODI, N.J. A New Jersey police chief says no one is above the law, not even his wife.
Lodi (LOH'-deye) Police Chief Vincent Caruso ordered an officer to ticket his wife after she double parked while dropping off their 5-year-old son at school.

Caruso told The Record newspaper ( http://bit.ly/pksv9y) he didn't want her to get any special treatment because of who she is. The chief paid the $54 ticket. It's not the first time for Paula Caruso. The chief ordered another officer to ticket her two years ago after she forgot to move their vehicle for street cleaning. The chief told the newspaper he loves his wife and she's very busy driving their four sons around. His wife couldn't be reached for comment Thursday. The Carusos' phone number is unlisted.

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) -- An Oakland officer's city-issued video camera shows the shooting death of an armed suspect during a struggle with police. The Police Department won't release details on what is depicted in the video of the Sept. 25 incident. The San Francisco Chronicle says the city of Oakland paid $540,000 for 350 wearable cameras last year from Vievu of Seattle. The cameras are worn on the chest of officers. Investigators say two officers pulled over a car and the passenger, who had a gun and drugs, fled on foot. One of the officers caught the suspect and shot him during a struggle. The name of the suspect and the officers has been withheld.

A pair of Alabama conservation enforcement officers think they've come up with the perfect way for avid hunters to honor their loved ones for eternity. Officers Thad Holmes and Clem Parnell have launched Holy Smoke LLC, a company that will, for a price, load cremated human ash into shotgun shells, and rifle and pistol cartridges.
