Just a few questions for the LEO's (btw, I'm new here and assume this stands for Law Enforcment Officer, just a guess though), if you guys don't mind, keeping in mind ideas of jurisdiction and the discepincies according to city/state etc etc...

No.1 - Do LEO's have to take drug tests? If yes, how often and is it equivelent to civilian ones (i.e. ones the probation officer gives you.)

No.2- Are LEO's allowed to taste the drugs they confiscate (i.e. coke, heroin) in order to check for thier identity? (I saw this on Baretta and was wondering )...also, if yes, how does this relate to question 1?

No.3- Are the cameras installed on some LEO cars on the dashboard (i.e. those ones used to make FOX speicals) required on all cop cars? I find this an extordinary tool as it can assist the officer greatly as WELL as the person stopped, it can document the whole incident including police abuse....

No.4- What is the best way to handle discpline for an officer supposing your rights were severly violated or he exhibited police brutality, what is the civilian's best recourse?

If you guys find the time to answer, I know you get so many questions, I would greatly appreciate it, the knowledge you dispense is extremely valuable, thanks for all the help...
