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.
Yes, law enforcement addresses illegal activity on the internet. Jurisdiction is often the largest problem for these cases. For example, a police officer in the United States cannot prosecute someone who is outside of the USA.
If children are in danger, please call the emergency line.
I'm not about to make a judgement call on what is or is not a violation of some state's laws on cyber bullying. However, I would encourage you and everyone else to (1) ignore other people's hurtful words and (2) if you don't have anything nice to say, say nothing.
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.

What's the craziest unprofessional-phone-rep story you've ever heard?
It depends on the circumstances.
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.
You should contact a Maryland police department for information.
