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.
Nothing is going to happen if you don't do anything. Why contact the police if you don't want to cooperate with the investigation?
Share Answer: 
There are a variety of variables in this situation. For example, you haven't seen your father for more than a year, yet you are still driving his car and he has been paying for your health insurance. Does this mean you are a minor and incapable of providing for yourself? Were these things required he provide you by court order? If so, he may be required to provide certain things to you by law and/or court order.
If you are an adult, I would suggest that you (1) get your own health insurance, (2) get your own car, and (3) don't talk to him if you do not want to. If you tell him not to call you and he continues to do so, you can change your phone number.
If a court order is in play, you and he need to abide by it.
Of course, none of this is legal advice. You should contact an attorney for advice.

Yes - Every citizen is entitled to self-defense, including the use of deadly force when they are in reasonable fear for their life or the life of another person. What difference does it make if they use a firearm, knife, baseball bat or their own hands/feet? The difference is that the weak can defend themselves from stronger, younger predators. No law abiding citizen should be disbarred the use of arms for the defense of themselves and their family.

Is business school a party compared to law or med school?
I don't know, but NY and NJ sure do like to tell people what to do. It seems just living is either illegal or nearly taxed to death in those states. You should probably check with the local jurisdiction.

No idea - I didn't work at one of those departments.
I would sincerely hope that people were not promoted based on a test score, but when you mix government and unions and there is rarely any room for common sense.
Promotion should be based on ability. Most tests are only analyzing a person's ability to memorize a set of facts.
