Cheating death and fighting communism: that is how a fellow officer once described our job. It was meant to be funny, but as time went on it seemed all too true.
I spent more than ten years in law enforcement, all of it on the street in uniform patrol. I've been a patrol officer, instructor, sergeant and lieutenant.
Do not report crimes here. Nothing here should be considered legal advice. All opinions are my own.
Online fraud cases are pretty easy to trace and prove, even when people use VPNs, proxies, etc. Offline fraud is even easier. Don't expect me to tell you how.

It depends on the state. Every state has different traffic laws. I wish I could be more definitive.
Share Answer: 
It depends on what state the story happens in. Murder is a state level offense in most cases, so there is no real uniformity from state to state. In many states, a life term with some opportunity for parole later in life is the maximum sentence.
Share Answer: 
Department policies dictate when a report will be filed by a police officer.
Generally: The same incident will generate only one report. Multiple incidents of the same nature, by the same subject may generate more than one report depending on the circumstances.

Have you ever had to disarm an attacker?

Security / Bodyguard
Are you expected to take a bullet that's meant for someone you're guarding?
Most frequent question: "Shoot anybody?"
The most annoying thing people do is loudly announce "I didn't do it!" when you walk into any store or business in uniform. The folks making these announcements seem to think it is both original and funny. What they don't realize is it is hardly original: I probably would hear it 10 times a day. At that point it is about as funny as a toothache.

It depends on the laws of the state. In many states, a retired officer has citizen's arrest authority. If you believe his/her behavior is abusive, contact the local law enforcement agency and file a complaint.

Seriously, who writes these questions...? If you want to have a backpack with images of marijuana all over it, knock yourself out. I always like the folks who advertise their recreational activities.
If you want to decorate your backpack with actual "weed all over," be my guest. Depending on where you are in the world, that could be anything from completely legal to a capital offense (death penalty). Laws inside the US vary, and unless the actual marijuana was significant in quantity, you are probably looking at a misdemeanor arrest.
