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.
To optimize your chances at being a police officer, there are several things you can do. These include:
1. Stay in school, learn proper english and get good grades.
2. Obtain and hold a steady job.
3. Join the military, work hard, earn commendations and be honorably discharged.
4. Complete a higher education degree.
5. Avoid doing stupid things with stupid people in stupid places. Or in other words, don't get into trouble, do drugs, drink to excess, go into debt and hang around with the wrong people.
6. Join a law enforcement reserve program. This is volunteer work that can give you valuable experience in law enforcement. Getting into a reserve program requires you to go through the same background investigation and meet the same standards as a full time officer does.

Generally, you cannot/will not be prosecuted if you once possessed/used a drug. So, I personally would not worry about talking to the police about having ordered it in the past.
Is this a company that is public about their sales (i.e. they advertise in High Times, etc)? If so, I doubt you need to tell any law enforcement agency about it. I think most High Times subscriptions go to police stations and drug units.
If the company is located in another state or country where the substance is legal don't expect that law enforcement can do much about it.
If you really want to stay anonymous, call one of the "tip lines" for the DEA, FBI or local police department.
Just from my own observations, the synthetic stuff is far worse than the natural stuff. It is more akin to a crazy mix of meth and PCP than MJ.

Can you rephrase the question? It sounds like you are asking me to tell you if there is anything in your background that might cause you problems in being hired. Without knowing you, that would be an impossible question for me to answer.

It depends on the state. Every state has different traffic laws. I wish I could be more definitive.

Do most poll staffers agree that the ballots are REALLY confusing?
Most agencies would probably not come out since no one was on scene, but yes, the complainant could make a report by phone.

I don't know what you mean by "watching me." If you are the subject of an investigation, then yes, the police will definitely talk to other people about you.

Yes.
