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.
It depends on the circumstances.
If children are in danger, please call the emergency line.
I'm afraid I cannot explain the why, just take a few guesses. I believe the first study was conducted in San Diego during the 1970's. There may have been additional studies since then. Put Google to work - I imagine that you should be able to find the study published online. Also, there may be newer studies that support or contradict the original.
I'm not sure what your question is.

What do real antiques dealers think of the Antiques Roadshow reality show?

Why does gang formation and racial segregation happen so much in prisons?
If you are asking will your husband take you seriously, I don't know. Probably not. It sounds like he has a lack of regard for the safety of himself and others. Anything you say is unlikely to get him to change his behavior.
If you are asking will the police dispatcher take you seriously, of course they will.
No, you should not have been driving.
However, it sounds like you made the choice to drive after you found out that you were parked somewhere you should not have been. Where was the person who was supposed to drive you home? No one goes in for surgery and should drive themselves home, so what were your arrangements for getting home?
If you failed to arrange for transportaion, and then you knowingly drove when you were not able to avoid having a car towed is not a reason to blame the officer. As they say a failure to plan is a plan for failure.
If you believe the officer was out of line, you should be complaining to his or her supervisor and not here anyway.
It depends. Call your local police department and ask for their assistance. They will know what to do.
