This is a purely educational website. Nothing here is legal advice or creates or implies an attorney-client relationship. If you have a specific legal issue, PLEASE talk to a lawyer who practices where you live—laws vary from place to place, and how they're applied varies from courthouse to courthouse. Your local county bar association can probably refer someone who handles matters like yours.

It's best to keep all discussions in the comments. But if you really need to reach Nathan privately, go ahead and email him at n.e.burney@gmail.com. He won't mind.
THE ILLUSTRATED GUIDE TO LAW and the PEEKING JUSTICE logo are pretty damn cool trademarks and should probably be registered one of these days.

Why is the symbol on the badge a pentagram star? Is it supposed to be The Star of David?
The symbols being used are the common lawyer shorthand for each kind of player. Instead of writing out the whole word “defendant,” for example, one simply writes “Δ,” the Greek letter Delta. A star commonly represents law enforcement (probably representing a badge). The Greek letter Pi for prosecutor, ΔC for defense counsel.
On top of that, I would imagine it’s the symbol for police because pentagrams are a symbol of protection from evil.
It is the star of a county sheriff or other law enforcement official. I don’t know why stars are symbols of american officialdom, but they are. Look at our flag.
They’re a common symbol worldwide. Many countries will have a crown on police badges or as rank pips, but that’s obviously not appropriate for countries which no longer have a monarchy. Many of these countries will have stars instead.
I Just realized that the dude in the center has his finger on the trigger when he clearly isn’t pointing it at anything he’s ready to fire at.
Actually, it looks like only the female cop has any trigger discipline.
What do you mean “get on the ground”? Am I levitating here?
