A grand jury witness can expect to answer questions from the prosecutor and defense attorney. They may also have to answer questions from the judge.
In court, the judge decides what questions may and may not be asked of a witness, including a police officer. The only way you could receive a ticket or be arrested for asking a question in court would be if you had been directed by the judge not to ask a certain question.

It depends on what terms.If you are joining a program on WikiAnswers, they only judge you if your questions are against WikiAnswers' rules, and will not allow you to join a program if you ask questions against the rules.Otherwise, you are not judged by the questions you ask.
Take it with you. The judge will ask you questions and, if you need your evidence, show it to him then.
An examiner can ask leading questions of a hostile witness because he is seeking answers to questions this person is unwilling to give voluntarily. However, this can only be done on cross-examination. Asking leading questions on direct examination is considered "coaching" the witness to provide a certain answer.
During a jury trial, absolutely not. The only time I've ever heard a judge directly question a witness was during a non-jury trial when they wanted to elicit specific information about a complicated subjet that the witness had already tesitified to under direct and cross. Anything else, such as suggested in the question, would be MOST improper and result in a mis-trial.
