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.
Call your local police department and ask for their assistance. They will know what to do.
Share Answer: 
Yes, law enforcement addresses illegal activity on the internet. Jurisdiction is often the largest problem for these cases. For example, a police officer in the United States cannot prosecute someone who is outside of the USA.

No idea.
Share Answer: 
A "CPU" is only part of the computer system, and typically not the slow part. If the officer is using some type of computer, it is networked via cell data service. The network is likely 3G or slower, so sending a request (such as a check on the validity of your license) is not as fast as you might hope. Also, since many of the computers are running some type of Windows OS, crashes are common. Frequently, I have sat on the side of the road while waiting for the system to reboot. Also, if there is someone that has a warrant who has a similar name, the officer will do additional research to make sure he or she shouldn't arrest you. 10-20 minutes isn't a long time for you to be stopped.
