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.
Sounds like he did, so I guess so. Is it in good taste? Maybe or maybe not - I wasn't there.

I doubt there are very many auto parts that are illegal. What you do with them might be. For example, selling exhaust cutouts is legal. Running them on a street car is illegal. Running them on a track is legal.
Chances are any of the headlights in an autoparts store are legal for your area. If you have any doubts, contact your local department and talk to one of the traffic enforcement officers. He or she will be able to give you the exact information you are looking for.

In a nutshell, the injured intruders would be transported to the hospital under police guard. When released, they would be arrested and transported to jail pending trial.
The homeowners would be interviewed on scene but not arrested or charged with any crime based on the facts provided.
If the intruders were killed, pretty much the same as above, but the deputies would be in the house a lot longer and the M.E. would respond and take custody of the corpses.
There are a lot of minute details that go into any investigation, especially major felony cases like this, but that is the quick and dirty.

Most states have allowances for farm vehicles being used temporarily on the roadway when in accordance to your normal agricultural activities. It sounds like you have probably met most/all of the requirements that many states have. I would suggest contacting the local sheriff's department or highway patrol to make sure there isn't anything else you need.

Maybe not. If you have been convicted of certain crimes, there isn't much you can do about that. However, without any prior arrests or convictions, you may still be able to obtain employment as a police officer. A solid military record with an honorable discharge (staying in the active reserves is even better) will go a long way to showing you aren't the person that you may have been in the past. The longer the time space between criminal activity and when you apply is better. Also, holding a secret clearance shows you have previously passed a background check, which helps.

Possibly. If the child is in actual danger, then yes, you can take reasonable actions to protect the life of the child. However, the preumption is that you are damaging someone else's property. You need to be able to prove that your actions were reasonable and necessary to protect the life of the child. Calling 911 is probably the best bet in the specific scenario you described. As stated elsewhere on this page - this is not legal advice.
