Back in the 1970's, my father bought two fake grenades from a surplus army navy store. They look real, and if I throw them in the trash someone could freak out. Is there any way the local police would take them without freaking out if I call them?

Yes, they are completely legal. But, you are right and someone might freak out if someone sees them. Calling the PD and explaining the situation should be fine. We helped dispose of all sorts of stuff (ammo, explosives, etc.).

Is it unfair that NYPD cops make as little as $30,000 per year, whereas in my town there is a small PD where they each make more than $100,000 and the chief makes more than Ray Kelly? (Never violent crimes in my town. And its not because of them.)...

Fair is a BS concept typically used by people who covet what other people have. Life isn't fair. Life is about choices.

If a person wants to work for NYPD, they know what the job pays going into it. If a potential applicant wants better pay, they will go elsewhere. If the citizens of New York want the best possible people applying to be police officers then they will offer more competitive salaries.

And if an officer gave someone a warning, could this be put on a record so if they were pulled over again, the officer would know that they were already warned? Thank you.
