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.

There are no such laws in my state that require an orange tip. But, I don't live in some of the overly restrictive states such as New York or California that might require such a silly thing.

Update - It seems federal law requires anyone selling a toy gun to have an orange tip on it. I don't know that there is anything at the federal law that requires you to replace or maintain the orange tip. Again, local laws may be more restrictive due to the eagerness of politicians to criminalize all aspects of life.

They can, but there are a lot of variables that go into lifting useable prints. There are no guarantees the officer(s) will be able to recover a print, but they can certainly try.
Share Answer: 
The deployment of one or two officers to a car is largely dependent on the ingrained culture of the department. Many years ago a study suggested officers were no less safe patroling solo as they are with a partner.
