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.
Most states have allowances for farm vehicles being used temporarily on the roadway when in accordance to your normal agricultural activities. It sounds like you have probably met most/all of the requirements that many states have. I would suggest contacting the local sheriff's department or highway patrol to make sure there isn't anything else you need.
Possibly. If the child is in actual danger, then yes, you can take reasonable actions to protect the life of the child. However, the preumption is that you are damaging someone else's property. You need to be able to prove that your actions were reasonable and necessary to protect the life of the child. Calling 911 is probably the best bet in the specific scenario you described. As stated elsewhere on this page - this is not legal advice.
Homicide investigators attend specialized training in investigations techniques, interviewing techniques and specialized classes on just death investigations. They also have a great deal of experience as a street cop and general investigator prior to being promoted to homicides. Once in homicides, a new investigator will be paired with a more experienced detective who will guide the on-the-job training.
Sounds like a civil issue with no criminal aspect. Call an attorney for advice on a civil remedy.

Unlikely. It would indicate to me that the person overspent on education and might be a poor steward of the department budget.

Your sister needs a criminal defense attorney. It sounds like she has committed at least two crimes, and once discovered, she will likely be arrested for them. An attorney can help her navigate through the system and get things corrected before they get any worse.
