For police officers:

What do you do when a friend breaks the law, either in front of you or that you learn of?? is it different if it is a misdameanor or felony??

What is your stance on a fellow police officer breaking the law, what is the deciding factor for you to take action or not??

When you pull over a person and they are found out to be a fellow police officer, what is usually done?? Is there a double standard regarding fellow civil servants Vs. general population??

There are tons of questions like this and other topics. The problem for you is going to be getting the officer or employee to be candid and honest ( especially if they are named in the paper.

Good luck

Interesting topic!!

for police: what do you do when u have a grudge against young kids in nice cars, do you act like an asshole and give them a BS ticket.

i.e. crossing a double yellow when avoiding a wreck
or "chirping tires" when the EvoMR has 285 slicks all around and surely doesnt "chirp"

lol. idk nhan. BS something. figure this.. how many people in your class? you honestly think she/he reads all of them.. doubt it (i just write a good first/last paragraph and copy paste them into the body. looks long and gets you a B)

How do they decide when to enforce infraction laws, which must happen around them every five minutes?

This is a fantastic question, the person being interveiwed would probably not get too defensive over this.

The USA laws I am aware of are divided into increasing categories of severity -- infraction, misdemeanor, felony. Infractions are like speeding, excess window tint, spitting on the sidewalk, or pedestrian crossing at a red light. They absolutely do not stop and ticket for every infraction they see.
