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 depends on how the judge applies the laws of your state. There is no set answer, and much of the judge's decision will be based on the circumstances and history of the child.

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.

If I understand the question correctly (entered on green, waited for traffic to clear to complete the turn, light turned red and then you cleared the intersection) - no. But then, laws vary from place to place.

Depends. If you keep them all handy having them already isn't a bad idea. If you are going to have to dig for them, leave them where they are and when the officer asks for them, explain what you are doing. For example, "Officer, my registration is in my glove box. Is it ok to reach in there and grab it?" It just lets him or her know what you are doing and prevents any unexpected movement.
When in doubt, just sit tight and ask the officer to tell you what he or she would like for you to do. It is a courtesy that can help reduce the tension. The officer doesn't know who you are - good citizen or murderous fugitive - when he or she stops you.
Politeness and helping to reduce the tension have even been known to change a ticket into a warning. :)

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

Policies vary depending on the department, but generally:
1. If someone is there that the owner would like to take custody of the animal, they can.
2. If no one is close at hand that the owner will allow to take the animal, the animal will be collected by whatever animal control organization is in the area. Some jurisdictions this is operated by the government, in other areas it is contracted out to another organization. Once the owner posts a bond, he or she can then go collect his or her animal.

If you are an adult, they should not withhold your mail from you. I would suggest considering some other housing arrangement if you cannot get along.
