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.
Checking the California Dept of Fish and Wildlife website, it looks like anyone 16 or older must have a license to fish. I did not see a reference to ages younger than 16. In the sane world, a 13 year old should be able to fish by him or herself. California, however, has some very bizarre views on what people should be allowed to do. So, I'd recommend contacting them directly.

Share Answer: 
Depends on the circumstances. Are you talking about letters, e-mails, text messages, Facebook posts, tweets...? Under what circumstances did the death occur? Is there some indication that the death was not self-inflicted? There are a lot of variables that go into an investigation.
Share Answer: 
It depends on the state. Every state has different traffic laws. I wish I could be more definitive.
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.

What are the physical traits that make for the "ideal swimmer's body"?
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.

For specific questions of law, you should contact an attorney in your jurisdiction.
Share Answer: 
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.
