"Were you awake at the time of your observation?" "Have you ever witnessed anything else before?" "While you were witnessing this occurrence, did you also witness anything else at the time?" "Of all of the places to be at any given time, how did you come to be at this particular place at this particular time?" "Have you ever known anyone else to have ever witness anything before?" "How much money have you accepted to give this eye witness version?" "Can u prove it"
Questions to ask witnesses include:
The type of questions tend to be things like how are you? and do you like apples that kind of thing.
You can only ask a witness their opinion to an extent. If the witness has not been qualified as an expert, then you can not ask the witness for an opinion that could effect the outcome of the case in any way. However, if a witness has been qualified as an expert, then you can ask them for their opinion on any issue in which they have enough expertise.

The guideline for expert witness testimony at the Court is 'Testifying in Court: Guidelines and Maxims for the Expert Witness'. Stanley L. Brodsky is the author of this book.
Anyone can be called to court to be a witness, including a resigned cop.
If you have an attorney representing you, he or she can create the subpoena and have it served on the witness. If you don't have representation, you must ask the court to issue the subpoena. You may then be required to pay the costs for a process server, constable, or deputy sheriff to serve the subpoena on the witness.
Once you are subpoenaed you can not get out of it.
The attorney wants to find out what the witness knows. He might ask what they saw, what time it happened and other stuff. He needs the information to decide whether the witness is good or whether it would be a waste of time to use the witness. If he called a witness to the stand and the witness didn't have any information, didn't see or hear anything - it would waste time in court.
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.
The court decides on whether a witness is qualified as an "expert witness" or not.
On witness's statement to investigators - no. On the usability and admissability of them in court - yes.
