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.
I don't know. I'd suggest contacting your local sheriff and asking him or her.
For specific questions of law, you should contact an attorney in your jurisdiction.
Unless the responding officers were lazy, yes a report would be made. Uninvited people entering your hom when you are not present is criminal. Depending on AZ law, it would likely be a form or trespass or burglary. Depending on the circumstances and evidence available, probable cause may or may not exist for the officer(s) to make an immediate arrest.
In the third incident, did the victim make an actual report over the phone? Many callers start to report something, then decide they don't want a report. Reports for many not-in-progress calls can be taken by an officer over the phone depending on department policies. Depending on how you want your story to run, you might want to make it obvious to the reader what the victim chose to do. Was he/she frightened and insisted on a report? Were they largely unconcerned and minimized the event?
I hope this helps.

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.
I have no idea what the laws of your jurisdiction may be. Contact your local law enforcement agency.
It depends on the laws of the state. In many states, a retired officer has citizen's arrest authority. If you believe his/her behavior is abusive, contact the local law enforcement agency and file a complaint.
