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.
Yes, but only on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
It depends on the circumstances. For example, if police received a 911 call from a building and the doorman tried to block the officers' entry, he would be arrested for obstruction.
I don't know. She should probably contact an attorney.
I hope you are not planning a career in law enforcement. Even the lowest of ethical standards require you to do your own homework.

Call 911.
Never bothered me.
I think I only had to say something to someone once who was recording me. In that case a pedestrian had been struck by a car and was laying in the road. The pedestrian was significantly injured. Some idiot decided he wanted to film the injured person and me. While distasteful, it isn't illegal. However, when the cell phone video superstar was standing in the roadway blocking the ambulance crew from getting to the injured party, I was happy to escort him to the sidewalk.
