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.
There may be one somewhere. Where and what it says...well, I have no idea. Try using Google to find laws for your state/locality. You should be able to find something pretty quickly.

I'm guessing this is a rhetorical question.
There is a lot going on in this country that I don't agree with. Arresting people for peaceably assembling or for exercising their freedom of speech in public is unconscionable. All law enforcement officers have taken an oath, which includes upholding the Constitution. Any law enforcement officer who violates his or her oath should be held accountable.

I don't understand the yellow card/red card reference.
Police officers do not know the driver/occupants of a vehicle when stopped. They could be a nice family or it could be a murderous robbing crew. Unit criminals start wearing signs that clearly identify themselves, police officers will back each other up on traffic stops and other calls. It is a safety thing.

Policies vary depending on the department, but generally:
1. If someone is there that the owner would like to take custody of the animal, they can.
2. If no one is close at hand that the owner will allow to take the animal, the animal will be collected by whatever animal control organization is in the area. Some jurisdictions this is operated by the government, in other areas it is contracted out to another organization. Once the owner posts a bond, he or she can then go collect his or her animal.

Is it ok w/your employer if you babysit one of the kids outside of daycare hours?
The deployment of one or two officers to a car is largely dependent on the ingrained culture of the department. Many years ago a study suggested officers were no less safe patroling solo as they are with a partner.

If you are an adult, they should not withhold your mail from you. I would suggest considering some other housing arrangement if you cannot get along.

Depends. If you keep them all handy having them already isn't a bad idea. If you are going to have to dig for them, leave them where they are and when the officer asks for them, explain what you are doing. For example, "Officer, my registration is in my glove box. Is it ok to reach in there and grab it?" It just lets him or her know what you are doing and prevents any unexpected movement.
When in doubt, just sit tight and ask the officer to tell you what he or she would like for you to do. It is a courtesy that can help reduce the tension. The officer doesn't know who you are - good citizen or murderous fugitive - when he or she stops you.
Politeness and helping to reduce the tension have even been known to change a ticket into a warning. :)
