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.
Unless they have been adjudicated to be mentally ill, then probably. Laws vary from state to state, and many states ignore the Second Amendment anyway. So, check your local laws and don't take legal advice (which this is not) from a guy on the internet.

I was in college and was not happy in the aerospace engineering program I was in. I explored the possibility of police work, and after riding a few shifts with officers, I decided to go into law enforcement.

Disposable restraints tend to be lighter and more compact than metal chain or hinged handcuffs. Depending on policy, an officer may choose to use them instead of traditional handcuffs for the weight and space savings. Additionally, they can be used in a mass arrest situation since more of them can be carried by each officer.
There is a huge difference between being detained and arrested. If you have been arrested, you are being charged with a specific crime and supported by probable cause. If you are being detained, officers have established reasonable, articulable suspicion that you may have committed a crime and they are now investigating to see if a crime has been committed.

It depends on the state's laws. Some states yes, others no. Additionally, red light cameras typically operate under a different set of laws in each state. The rules for mailing tickets may be substantially different from on view violaions observed by a police officer. So, you may or may not get a ticket mailed to you. I really dont know. Call the police department in question if it is really bothering you.
