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.
Share Answer: 
Getting up early, cooking, cleaning and taking care of a family member are not abuse. If there is some type of actual abuse going on, he needs to contact the local law enforcement agency.
Share Answer: 
Reasons vary. Some jurisdictions require a police response. Other times, medical responders might request law enforcement due to potential problems or safety concerns. Police officers typically have some level of medical training, so they might be dispatched to the scene to help render aid until paramedics can respond. In some jurisdictions, officers are cross trained as paramedic/firefighters.

Ask me a serious question.
Share Answer: 
I would assume so, but there may be statutory or case law that says otherwise. I'd suggest contacting a lawyer if this is more than a theoretical query.
