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.
So, you were speeding, but you don't believe you were going as fast as the measuring device stated? Sure you can fight it, but bring a checkbook: for your lawyer and/or clerk of court.
How do you know you were not going 73? Have you calibrated your spedometer in the last six months?
Assuming this is your first ticket (or perhaps the first in a long time) courts often have an option to plead nolo to a reduced charge coupled with a driver's improvement course. Depending on the jurisdiction this might keep points off of your driving record, reduce the fine, etc. Be sure to contact the court and/or a lawyer about that.

I'd suggesting checking South Carolina law: http://www.sled.sc.gov/SCStateGunLaws1.aspx If you don't find what you are looking for, contact SLED for more information.

Patrol - mostly in a patrol car. I'm assigned a section of the city as a patrol zone and I am responsible for all calls that come into that area. A portion of the time includes getting out on foot and walking through businesses, parks and apartment complexes, but most of my time is spent going from dispatched call to dispatched call via automobile.
No one really responds from the station (like a firefighter). Sometimes you might be there for paperwork or submitting evidence and then get a call, but it isn't normal procedure.

Trust your gut. Drug habits are tough. I'd recommend reaching out to some resources in your community that might be able to help you. You cannot make him quit, you can only protect yourself and your children (if you have any.) Good luck.

It depends on the state. Every state has different traffic laws. I wish I could be more definitive.

Can you rephrase the question? It sounds like you are asking me to tell you if there is anything in your background that might cause you problems in being hired. Without knowing you, that would be an impossible question for me to answer.
