Do the police ever take peoples shoes and socks off when they are arrested?

Yes they do. Mainly for two reasons. Firstly, the shoes and socks of a suspect will be taken off when a police officer is conducting a body search to make sure nothing is secreted in them. Secondly, when a suspect is in custody an officer may choose to remove their shoes and socks for safety reasons i.e. to prevent the suspect using them to hurt themselves or someone else.

What is used by traffic police to check who is drunk?

In Tennessee, and I'm sure most everywhere else, a police officer can give you a field sobriety test such as making you walk a straight line, asking you to say the alphabet, or anything else like that, and if you fail, you can be arrested on the suspicion of drunk driving. However, I suspect you're looking for the term "breathalizer" which is the electronic device they use to determine your blood alcohol level.


What happens to you if you make a false statement to police about a court case someone else is going though because you were upset with them?

Generally, providing any false statement to a Police Officer can result in an obstruction charge. However, casual remarks in passing are usually not considered important enough. Also, the police are very good at determining what is true and what is someone trying to get someone else in trouble, and tend to simply ignore the latter.

Is it a probation violation to have police contact but no charges?

If you weren't charged, probably not, unless you are a suspect in something. If I were you I would certainly tell my Probation Officer of the contact though. If nothing else, you'll get points with him for honesty. Your probation rules state that if you have any police contact you have to report it within one day. So you should probably call.


If you are at fault but there was no police report and the other driver was driving someone else's car and they have no insurance and a suspended license will your insurer or you still have to pay?

Most insurers are really going to want a police report before they pay. I suspect that the owner of the car is going to find some way of getting their car fixed. If they have the details about you, they are either going to approach your insurance company or you for compensation. They can file a police report, but usually the police want both parties to be present.
