Stockton, CA
Male, 60
I worked for the California state system, starting as a Correctional Officer and retiring as a Lieutenant in 2005. I now write for the PacoVilla blog which is concerned with what could broadly be called The Correctional System.
I have no information on the current testing procedure. Sorry.

I have never been a street cop so I am not sure I can help much. Since you are dealing with Drivers Ed you might ask him/her about the department pursuit policies. That should be moderately interesting.

I am afraid I do not have a good answer for you. In custody, I would say NO. In certain types of non-custody positions I would say MAYBE. If you are doing something relatively benign in an area where you would have assistance if necessary (i.e. clerical) it might work. If you had to operate dangerous machinery or work in an isolated area, I would be very dubious.

I don't know. It used to be not more than 3 years. It has, I understand, gone up to 5 since I retired and maybe even has moved further.

Not me personally. I retired just a tad over ten years ago, such things were unheard of then. Other than the perimeter tower staff keeping their eyes open I am unaware of any specific plans for interdicting drones. I am confident that something will be developed, well behind the curve. Correctional systems are almost always reactive rather than pro-active.

Probably the same thing as tampering with evidence in any other law enforcement setting. Of all of the rules violation reports I have seen I have NEVER seen one for evidence tampering.
Share Answer: 
Depends. In CA there is, at least in some areas, a lot of friction between the CHP and CDCR and the chippies cut CDCR officers no slack. In most areas (as far as I know) the locals cut CDCR some slack, as long as the officer in question isn't acting like an idiot. My way of dealing with it is simpler, obey the traffic laws and avoid being stopped.
