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. Information can be extracted from the phone itself, and all of the data is stored on the service provider's servers.
This sounds like something you should discuss with your parents. Good luck.
It depends on the laws of your state. If I understand your question, it is legal for one officer to issue a citation based on another officer's observations (in at least some states - if not all states.)
Call the police if violence occurs.

What's it like going into a room in the morning to find someone dead?
It sounds like you should talk to a local police officer or deputy sheriff. If you do not want to talk to someone in law enforcement, call 211 for a referral to non-law enforcement assistance. If you are feeling suicidal, please call 1-800-273-8255.
If the woman made a report with the local law enforcement agency, you should contact them for the status of the criminal investigation. If she did not, is there any evidence he committed a crime? If so, that should be taken to the local law enforcement agency.
Criminals cannot be arrested and adjudicated without victims and witnesses contacting law enforcement and being willing to participate in the investigation and prosecution.
While tragic, if this is a case of:
- a woman who did not approach the police,
- there are no witnesses, and
- the only evidence that the ex-boyfriend sexually abused the woman at some point in the past were statements by the victim made to friends,
then I would expect that there is a lack of probable cause to arrest the ex-boyfriend for anything related to that abuse.
You need to contact an attorney for clarification. If he has access to them, and since you know he is a felon, then -you- could be exposed to criminal liability.
