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.
Ask me a serious question.
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.

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.

Most agencies will look for a significant period of time between your last use of an illegal substance and the current time. One to two years is not enough time for most departments. I would strongly suggest joining the military or attending college. By the time you finish your service or obtain your degree, you will have been clean for 5+ years, which puts you in a much better position.
If the nerve damage isn't debilitating in some way (can you still lift heavy things, run, have a strong grasp, etc.), it shouldn't be a problem. Just make sure you disclose that before you take a pre-employment physical. I imagine the bullet will show up on the x-rays.

Nope.
Share Answer: 
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?
