How does a police officer decide punishment?
A police officer doesn't decide punishment. Yes, it may seem like it, but consider that these guys (and gals) are law enforcement officers. The judicial branch of government deals with punishment (after dertermination of guilt). Let's look at what a peace officer does.
The cop is tasked with upholding the law. That means if he sees you breaking the law (in whatever form you break it) he is supposed to do something. He has a range of choices, depending on the circumstances. That may be what your question speaks to. Does he watch you drive by after rolling a stop sign and forget it? Does he pull you over, run your plates, license and then check you out before giving you a warning? Or does he just take your license and registration and head back to his cruiser to call it in and run the standard check before issuing you a citation?
The choice an officer makes as regards what to do with you when you catches you "bending the rules" will depend on what you did and what the rules say, and how he perceives you when he contacts you. If you, say, roll a stop sign, he might warn you. If you roll that stop sign in front of a grade school at about 8 in morning of a school day, don't count on just a warning. The officer's training, experience and professional judgment will determine what happens in a given situation. How you behave will also have something to do with the decision, too. Don't even think about trying to blow anything by a cop. You don't have a clue what he's see out there. Are you a stand up person or just another knucklehead trying to duck a ticket? After you get pulled over, but before the officer arrives at the window of your vehicle, decide which one you'll be. Choose wisely and well. You didn't get pulled over to have a good citizen's award issued to you, did you? Be smart about this one.
Illegal phone recordings cannot be used in court against you. However, if you said something that the boss feels is worth firing you for, they can certainly fire you for it. If you are anywhere where you can be overheard in public, or your words can be read by the public, you have to watch what you say and not make statements that are against company policy.
Laws vary from state to state and you need to check with your local jurisdiction. Here is the answer for California. When a warrant is issued there is a BAIL amount. Bail can be set by the judge or it can be from a bail schedule. The bail amount is NOT the FINE for the offense, though sometimes bail can be forfieted to the fine when the matter is settled. Technically a warrant is a order by a judge, ordering a peace officer to make an arrest. If you go to a police station and let then know there is a warrant for your arrest, they MUST arrest you. If you take enough cash with you to the station you can then bail yourself out. The arrest and paying the bail cancels the warrant but does NOT settle the matter. When you bail yourself out you will be scheduled with a court date and still MUST go to court to settle the matter, unless it is the type of matter where the bail amount is used to settle the case. Of course the matter can be settled without an arrest by going to court and settling the matter and paying the fine.
