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.
Sounds like he did, so I guess so. Is it in good taste? Maybe or maybe not - I wasn't there.

You didn't mention if you were speeding. I'd suggest paying the ticket if you were. Other people were speeding worse than I was doesn't generate much sympathy from a judge.
If the trooper was using laser, then you were definitely the person he measured going whatever speed was on the citation. If he/she was using radar, there could be some doubt that an experienced traffic attorney could bring up in trial.
The above is not legal advice, of course.
Did you know that speed is the #1 contributing factor to traffic fatalities?
Share Answer: 
Carrying a fake gun may or may not be illegal depending on your jurisdiction. You should either contact a criminal defense lawyer for your area or the local law enforcement agency.
I'm not sure what kind of "protection" a fake gun provides. If attacked by a criminal, a fake gun isn't going to offer you any protection. The notion that you will see a known criminal approaching you and that you will have time to draw the weapon AND that the criminal will suddenly be struck by fear upon seeing it is not a realistic one based on my experiences with both violent encounters and the mentality of predator criminals.

You can get out and help the police officer. Sitting in the car while an injured police officer is laying in a lane of traffic is unconscionable.

Your sister needs a criminal defense attorney. It sounds like she has committed at least two crimes, and once discovered, she will likely be arrested for them. An attorney can help her navigate through the system and get things corrected before they get any worse.

Unlikely. It would indicate to me that the person overspent on education and might be a poor steward of the department budget.

Sometimes.
