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.
Probably not.
In my experience, a significant number of transactions handled via Western Union are scams. Money sent through Western Union can be picked up anywhere in the world. So a person sets up a Craigslist ad (or wherever) and says he lives in New York, Atlanta, or wherever. However, he most likely lives outside the jurisdiction of the US - Europe, Africa, Asia. He can pick up the money anonymously at any Western Union and you never hear from him again.
Unfortunately, I have seen too many of these cases and none of them are ever solved.
Feel free to file a police report, but do not expect that you will ever get your money back.

You are a child. Your father has excercised reasonable discipline. If you call the police for this, you are the only person who runs the risk of being charged with anything (false report of a crime.)
Sounds like you've got a lot of growing up to do.

When do your policies allow you to hang up on a rude caller?
Maybe. Consider, however, that your lack of experience may have an impact on your credibility both with the agencies you are providing training to and to the courts when you and they are sued for wrongful use of force. (Yes - even when you do everything correctly, you will get sued and have to defend yourself in court.)

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.

I don't know what your state's laws may be in regard to this. I would hope that most departments would not hire a convicted armed robber, but that's just me.
