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.
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.
Unethical behavior is not acceptable under any circumstances.
In what context? If an officer is taking enforcement action, then at a reasonable time he or she should identify him- or herself in a reasonable manner. That will likely include a badge and ID card.
If someone knocks on your door and asks to speak with you it is certainly reasonable to request to see identification. Call the local law enforcement agency and confirm the officer's identity if you have any doubts.
Asking an officer to show you his or her badge in the middle of a fight, chase or in the middle of some other dangerous situation might not be feasible. It is all situationally dependent. Unfortunately, everone looks for a simple black and white answer, but life's not that easy. Reasonableness is the key to everything.
It depends on what state the story happens in. Murder is a state level offense in most cases, so there is no real uniformity from state to state. In many states, a life term with some opportunity for parole later in life is the maximum sentence.

Depends on the circumstances. Are you talking about letters, e-mails, text messages, Facebook posts, tweets...? Under what circumstances did the death occur? Is there some indication that the death was not self-inflicted? There are a lot of variables that go into an investigation.
Checking the California Dept of Fish and Wildlife website, it looks like anyone 16 or older must have a license to fish. I did not see a reference to ages younger than 16. In the sane world, a 13 year old should be able to fish by him or herself. California, however, has some very bizarre views on what people should be allowed to do. So, I'd recommend contacting them directly.

Most frequent question: "Shoot anybody?"
The most annoying thing people do is loudly announce "I didn't do it!" when you walk into any store or business in uniform. The folks making these announcements seem to think it is both original and funny. What they don't realize is it is hardly original: I probably would hear it 10 times a day. At that point it is about as funny as a toothache.
