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.
No, you should not have been driving.
However, it sounds like you made the choice to drive after you found out that you were parked somewhere you should not have been. Where was the person who was supposed to drive you home? No one goes in for surgery and should drive themselves home, so what were your arrangements for getting home?
If you failed to arrange for transportaion, and then you knowingly drove when you were not able to avoid having a car towed is not a reason to blame the officer. As they say a failure to plan is a plan for failure.
If you believe the officer was out of line, you should be complaining to his or her supervisor and not here anyway.
Share Answer: 
Maybe. Are you an adult and can you show the property in dispute was clearly owned by you? There are too many factors for me to make any kind of determination on what you might be able to do. Why don't you got talk to a local police officer?
Share Answer: 
Texas Rangers for non-patrol. LAPD-type for patrol (though with two shoulder patches)
Share Answer: 
Officers respond from whereever they are at the moment. They might be eating lunch, driving down the street or submitting evidence at the department. They do not sit around at the PD like the firefighters do.

If it is a crime for you to carry the baton, then I would expect that you would be arrested.
