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 great. However, I do not understand what you are asking when you state "Is there anything that might pop up in police screening?" as a follow up to the prior question. If you could rephrase the question, I will answer it the best I can.
Thanks MJ. Send me a note via http://www.bluesheepdog.com/contact-bluesheepdog/ when you can.
It depends on the laws of your state. If I understand your question, it is legal for one officer to issue a citation based on another officer's observations (in at least some states - if not all states.)
I have no experience with Austrailian law.
It very well may affect your future employment. All actions have consequences, and the decisions we make - good and bad - will follow us throughout life.

1. There are no "Miranda rights."2. An officer is not required to read you the Miranda warning because you have been arrested.3. COPS is edited. Boring things - such as reading someone a Miranda warning - are cut out.
