If minor auto accident & both parties agree payment resolution w/o insurance. Exchange bus cards..Later call police to report it. Must the fault party days later report also to police? No proof of accident occurred

Asked by BurnedBentley about 11 years ago

Depends on state law. Different states have different laws, so contact a local law enforcement agency.

I understand that a detective cannot search or seize anything unless he has a warrant or exigent circumstances. Does that also apply to a burn down house? Does an officer need a warrant to search a house that is burnt to the ground?

Asked by Petal over 10 years ago

I would assume so, but there may be statutory or case law that says otherwise. I'd suggest contacting a lawyer if this is more than a theoretical query.

Asked by katelynn about 11 years ago

The best bet is to call your local police recruiter and talk to him or her about the specific requirements in your area. Generally, you apply for the position, undergo a thorough background investigation, go through a series of mental, physical and medical tests and then complete academy training.
