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.
There are a variety of variables in this situation. For example, you haven't seen your father for more than a year, yet you are still driving his car and he has been paying for your health insurance. Does this mean you are a minor and incapable of providing for yourself? Were these things required he provide you by court order? If so, he may be required to provide certain things to you by law and/or court order.
If you are an adult, I would suggest that you (1) get your own health insurance, (2) get your own car, and (3) don't talk to him if you do not want to. If you tell him not to call you and he continues to do so, you can change your phone number.
If a court order is in play, you and he need to abide by it.
Of course, none of this is legal advice. You should contact an attorney for advice.

Nope.

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.).

No idea - I didn't work at one of those departments.
I would sincerely hope that people were not promoted based on a test score, but when you mix government and unions and there is rarely any room for common sense.
Promotion should be based on ability. Most tests are only analyzing a person's ability to memorize a set of facts.

Ok. I hope you are not looking for someone to hand you a wad of money because you want something. That's not how life works.
