Call your local police department and ask for their assistance. They will know what to do.

My friend was messing with his friends who were at a party. His plan was to impersonate a cop by placing red/blue lights in his car and drive up to them. On their property, he turned the lights on. A state cop saw him and stopped him. Was it illegal?

Sounds like it. Impersonating a police officer is illegal in most (all?) states. Installation and use of certain revolving, blinking or flashing lists on a car is also illegal in most (all?) states.

If police just show up to a girls house, and speak with their mom, and they tell her she has to come into the police station as a summons, and the mother says that 1 minute before they showed up she saw her ex drive past the house, what is going on?

I don't know. You should ask the officers on scene.

Can you go into more detail about the procedures that help officers in trouble get on the radio if there is less important talk going on? (You said "yes" but not examples.) Thank you!

So it's okay that they put down concrete on their lawn, 10 feet into my property, which caused water runoff that flooded my basement more than once? Plus they leave lit camp fires outside over night right next to building supplies.

As was probably already explained to you, it is a civil issue. Contact an attorney and sue them if you so desire.
