That would be a GTLA suit which few lawyers know how to file. It appears that you do not have any damages, so I do not recommend filing suit.

You likely need a lawyer for this. If you have fulfilled the requirements of the law at the time of your conviction you may be able to get your license again.

Very often they take them as evidence of crimes, so yes. If you are not charged with a crime, then you can ask for them back or sue the LEO for conversion.
They added it after I bonded out of jail.

That was probably at General Sessions Court initially. LEO swearing out AWs can easily ask Judge to amend it or issue more AWs. It becomes a more formal process when Grand Jury Indictments are returned. Any defenses need to be brought up at the Preliminary Hearing on the Warrants.

Hire a competent criminal attorney to represent you quickly. You will at least need a Motion To Suppress Evidence filed if indicted. At General Sessions, prepare for a Preliminary Hearing. PDs are not going to do this. This is a public forum and you have already stated too many facts.

That is not employment related, but organizations can govern themselves. If some organization guideline or handbook rule has been violated, then the offended member/former member can assert his rights under those rules. But Tennessee Law rarely applies, and Court action rarely interferes.

It is not legal for law enforcement to coerce or threaten someone to provide information or act as an informant in exchange for leniency in their own criminal case. This is a violation of the individual's rights and can lead to further legal consequences for the officer.

No, it is illegal to engage in mutual combat in Tennessee, even if both parties consent to it. Mutual combat is considered a form of assault and is prohibited by law.

Domestic Assault is worse than some Felonies, and you should have known that 25 years ago prior to pleading. I assume that conviction is on your NCIC. You may wish to examine the legal weapons you can possess. There are muzzleloaders that can kill an elephant.
