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.
If you think there will be a problem, you can call an officer. Keep in mind that officers will not be able to stand by for more than about 15-30 minutes. The department cannot reasonably justify pulling officers away from protecting the public while your roommate packs and moves.
If you want someone to stand by at your residence for a long period of time, you can contract with the agency to provide an off duty police officer for however long you want.
The "power to kill" people does not come from a concealed carry permit. If you believe that, you are very mistaken on the law - both natural and statutory.
No.
Commercial firearms transactions go through a special FBI database. The database used is not one that is available to other law enforcement agencies. Some of the information in the database is available to outside agencies through other files, but not all of it. For example, if a police officer was to run a "normal" criminal history on a person, it would show prior felony convictions but not other things like if you had been adjudicated mentally ill, renounced your citizenship, etc.
Chances are you are the best person to know if you are no longer allowed to own a firearm. If you have a specific question about a possible prohibition, feel free to ask.
It depends on the circumstances.

Ok.
If the case is still open (unsolved), no. A detective may show some piece of evidence or a photo of the crime scene to the suspect during an interview to get some type of response or information about the crime. Other than that, no one outside of the officers working the case, medical examiner and prosecutor are looking at the evidence.
Since I was not there, nor did I conduct an investigation in the incident, I don't know what the probable cause was for your charge.
However, I suspect it might have something to do with your statement "and I began to follow her."
Getting angry about some perceived slight while driving, and then chasing the woman, is likely the source of your problems.
