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.
All arrests must be based on probable cause.

I have no idea. You should contact a police officer in the state of Washington about those laws.
Share Answer: 
Call your local police department and ask for their assistance. They will know what to do.

You can probably still enter an academy, but it will be difficult to get a department to hire you. Three speeding citations and an at-fault accident is a fairly significant indicator of poor driving. Few agencies would want to put an officer into a patrol car for 40+ hours a week and expose themselves to the potential liability of his or her foreseeable bad driving.
As time passes, the citations become less of a problem for getting hired. For example, two years since the last citation looks like you have improved your driving. Five years looks even better. Different departments will have different guidelines based on the agency's risk tolerance.

It depends on the state's laws. Some states yes, others no. Additionally, red light cameras typically operate under a different set of laws in each state. The rules for mailing tickets may be substantially different from on view violaions observed by a police officer. So, you may or may not get a ticket mailed to you. I really dont know. Call the police department in question if it is really bothering you.

I have no clue as to what you are talking about. The application of punctuation may help, but I don't think so.
If you were involved in an accident, you might want to contact a civil attorney.
