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.
I'm not sure I understand your terminology, but if you are asking if you and your friend could be assigned as partners at the same police agency, yes. However, this would not happen until both of you had a few years of experience on the job. No sergeant in his or her right mind would assign two inexperienced officers together.
Depends on the department. Cocaine and ecstacy are serious drugs and can have serious long-term consequences on your brain. I would suggest contacting the department(s) you are insterested in applying to and speak to one of the recruiters about your situation. Any department would require a long interval (several years at least) between hiring and your last use of the drug.
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?
Homicide investigators attend specialized training in investigations techniques, interviewing techniques and specialized classes on just death investigations. They also have a great deal of experience as a street cop and general investigator prior to being promoted to homicides. Once in homicides, a new investigator will be paired with a more experienced detective who will guide the on-the-job training.

"spade" - I do not think that word means what you think it means.
Oh, and your premise is false.
Yes, you could be charged with theft.
If he owes you money, it is likely a civil situation, not criminal. Regardless, one wrong will not justify another.
Sounds like he did, so I guess so. Is it in good taste? Maybe or maybe not - I wasn't there.
