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.
It is gratifying to know you make a difference.

Contact the local Texas DPS or police department to explain your state's laws.

I don't understand the yellow card/red card reference.
Police officers do not know the driver/occupants of a vehicle when stopped. They could be a nice family or it could be a murderous robbing crew. Unit criminals start wearing signs that clearly identify themselves, police officers will back each other up on traffic stops and other calls. It is a safety thing.

There is no single answer to your question. You may as well ask "what does a middle manager in a company do." The only real answer is "it depends." Different agencies have different rank structures and assign job duties/responsibilities in different ways. At one department something might be assigned to an officer, while it is assigned to a captain at another department.

Ever get into a physical altercation with a crazed parent?
CBP Officer
Do you catch less marijuana at the border now that it's being decriminalized in some States?
There may be one somewhere. Where and what it says...well, I have no idea. Try using Google to find laws for your state/locality. You should be able to find something pretty quickly.

I'm guessing this is a rhetorical question.
There is a lot going on in this country that I don't agree with. Arresting people for peaceably assembling or for exercising their freedom of speech in public is unconscionable. All law enforcement officers have taken an oath, which includes upholding the Constitution. Any law enforcement officer who violates his or her oath should be held accountable.

What kind of gun? A quick Google search shows 18+ for long guns and 21+ for handguns. Long guns that are scarey looking are still 18+, but require a purchase permit according to Wikipedia. I can only assume that non-scarey looking long guns do not require the same permit. You probably want to take a look at MN §624.7131 for more detailed information.
