Is it illegal to burn your house down?
If you're doing so in order to collect insurance money, then yes, it's illegal. However, if you're doing so simply in order to demolish the house and clear the land for future construction, it might or might not be legal depending on local air pollution ordinances. At the very least you'd want to check with your local police department so you didn't get accused of attempting to commit insurance fraud. It would probably be a good idea to alert the local fire department as well... they'll probably want to supervise the burn so that it doesn't spread.

If you did nothing wrong and your just making a police report about somthing that happened to you, than all the police officer has to do is sit down with you and make the corrections. Now if you did something illeagle and the officer misinterprpeded what you said or wrote somthing you didnt say but in his own words, than that is wher the leagle aspect comes into play. Before you are arrested you must be advised of your 5th amendment rights. After your rights have been read to you you than have the option of answering questions. My advise to anyone is to not answer any questions with out an attourny present. If one cannot be provided you still do not have to answer anything if you don't want to. But if your going to request that the interview br recorded so their is no question to what was said. If all of those options fail you can still write what is called a rebuttile. That is basicly your own version of what happend and that can be done by yourself with out the prsance of law enforcement.

When do the police know when to use there taser?
(1) the real purpose for Taser is a firearm alternative but of course police officers are misusing it Taser's were suppose to be use in the event that a fire arm could be use but not necessary safe like for example a man with a knife if he runs to a police officer the officer has the right to shoot but it would be good to use a simple Taser but law enforcement officers are using it like a compliance device or a device that makes a subject comply for example if a police officer tells you to get out of your vehicle and you don't comply they can't Taser or pepper spray or shoot you with his gun but in the real world police have no boundurys they have the badge to break the law.
(2) Yes. Sometimes police officers abuse the use of Taser. Taser plays the devil's role in cases of police brutality which has been very common in the United States nowadays.
ADDED: Both the first and second answers are products of the contributor's own opinions and mindsets. Tasers are NOT a substitute for firearms, nor were they ever meant to be. They are a substitute for the use of physical force, or other traditional non-lethal weapons as police batons (aka: 'billy clubs' or nightsticks), or blackjacks. The use of any of the last category actually (and statistically) bears more of a risk of physical trauma and injury than does the use of tasers. Nowhere in their job description is it stated that law enforcement officers are required to go hands-on and physical with every arrestee who chooses to resist them, assault them, or who attempts to flee from arrest. The occasional mis-use of tasers does, unfortunately occur. However if I had the choice of being inappropriately shot with a sidearm, or my brains scrambled with a baton, I believe that I would opt for the momentary discomfort of a taser every time! Occasional individual mis-use notwithstanding, the taser is a well proven tool for law enforcement that, in and of itself, has yet to be successfully legally challenged.
Can a police officer ask for your phone number and a lunch date while he or she has you pulled over?
No they cannot. It is prohibited by their policy to ask someone out on a date or more importantly their phone number if they are on duty. If they are off-duty but in uniform or in civilian clothing performing work as a or of a police officer then the rule still applies, ie. overtime work at the local high school game, college, etc. If they are on their free time they cannot coerce the person into giving them said information.
