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.

Check your local laws.
From a legal perspective, a fine, probation or jail time are all possibilities.
The right not to be offended? I think that is in the Good n Plenty clause of the Constitution.

It varies from department to department. One agency allowed for a 30 minute break, while another allowed for 45 minutes. Of course, you were still subject to calls during these breaks.
You can call. Please don't cause an accident by calling while driving to report someone else on their phone while driving.
Probably not.
