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 saw no evidence that indicated George Zimmerman committed any crime, and yes, the jury's duty was to acquit.
Frankly, it is my belief that this was a case of wrongful prosecution for political gains, and testimony from at least one employee within the State Attorney's office stating the prosecution was withholding evidence from the defense team certainly affirms that belief.

In what context? If an officer is taking enforcement action, then at a reasonable time he or she should identify him- or herself in a reasonable manner. That will likely include a badge and ID card.
If someone knocks on your door and asks to speak with you it is certainly reasonable to request to see identification. Call the local law enforcement agency and confirm the officer's identity if you have any doubts.
Asking an officer to show you his or her badge in the middle of a fight, chase or in the middle of some other dangerous situation might not be feasible. It is all situationally dependent. Unfortunately, everone looks for a simple black and white answer, but life's not that easy. Reasonableness is the key to everything.

Most frequent question: "Shoot anybody?"
The most annoying thing people do is loudly announce "I didn't do it!" when you walk into any store or business in uniform. The folks making these announcements seem to think it is both original and funny. What they don't realize is it is hardly original: I probably would hear it 10 times a day. At that point it is about as funny as a toothache.

Online fraud cases are pretty easy to trace and prove, even when people use VPNs, proxies, etc. Offline fraud is even easier. Don't expect me to tell you how.

Can I be a successful P.I. if I'm hardworking but don't have any connections in law enforcement or politics?
It depends on the laws of the state. In many states, a retired officer has citizen's arrest authority. If you believe his/her behavior is abusive, contact the local law enforcement agency and file a complaint.

I don't know. It depends on the laws of your state and your driving record. You might want to contact an attorney.
Share Answer: 
I'm guessing this is a rhetorical question.
There is a lot going on in this country that I don't agree with. Arresting people for peaceably assembling or for exercising their freedom of speech in public is unconscionable. All law enforcement officers have taken an oath, which includes upholding the Constitution. Any law enforcement officer who violates his or her oath should be held accountable.
