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 you probably should return the car and find a new friend.
Nice jpg on an opinion blog. But there is no context to it, and it is therefore meaningless.

If backup is available, only a fool would try to arrest more than one person at a time. Even with only one suspect, it is foolish to try to make an arrest without assistance.

If the case is still open (unsolved), no. A detective may show some piece of evidence or a photo of the crime scene to the suspect during an interview to get some type of response or information about the crime. Other than that, no one outside of the officers working the case, medical examiner and prosecutor are looking at the evidence.
