He also states that “red light cameras serve no purpose other than extorting more revenue from citizens — at the cost of their safety.” In Billo's letter, he says he refuses to spend money in Knoxville whenever he's there in reaction to his ticket because, as he sees it, he "wasn’t really breaking the law." The exigence for this blog post is that Billo feels he was unjustly charged by a red light camera. He calls them ”predatory” and says that they “have become a part of money-hungry jurisdictions.” Billo described himself as a good, family man, who enjoys visiting his godchildren in Knoxville, but
Vinny had very little time to come up with questions for his cross-examination. Vinny becomes irritated and begins teasing Lisa concerning the usefulness of her wide-angle pictures of the tire tracks. She becomes upset, leaving Vinny alone. Vinny later recognizes that the picture is the key to the case. The flat, even tire marks going over the curb showed it to be impossible for Billy’s car to have been involved in the getaway because the Skylark fails to have a suspension system that would do this.
Officer Smith later found out why the driver fled and did not want to get pulled over in the first place. The driver could have found out that Officer Smith was just concerned about a taillight. Since the driver decided she had too much to lose she would drive off and now she is facing some serious
They lied about getting a warrant and in turn let a killer walk away from the situation with no punishment. Like I said previously if they would have used the ethics of virtue system they would have went about things in an honest manner and even though it might not have saved the life of Detective Griffiths it would have put his killer in jail. Ethics training for our officers is very important to maintain order (Papenfuhs,2011). However, when really spending some time and thinking about this situation I wish our legal system could in some way take into account the pressure we put on cops and when we know for an absolute fact a serious crime as been committed that the criminal could still be punished regardless of the mistakes of cops. I don’t think the people should be able to get off that easy simply because of a legal mishap and in fact disgusts me that his has happens numerous times every year.
First, he broke the department policy by not video recording the interview which was essential to built a solid case if they had confess in which he claimed the two did. Secondly, he did not have either of the young offenders guardian(s) present which was a grand mistake. Not only did he confess to intentionally crossing the line by avoiding bringing in the parents and including them in the interview he probably is also guilty of coercing them in the confession. According, to the self-incrimination clause it clearly states that any statement made by defendant(s) while in police custody before trail will be inadmissible during prosecution unless the police first warn the defendants that they have the right to remain silent, the right to consult an attorney before being questioned, the right to have an attorney present during police questioning, the right to a court appointed attorney if they cannot afford one, the right to be informed that any statement they do make can
I don’t even have a brother.” I decided it would be best to act stupid since I was by myself and in his neighborhood. “Listen buddy,” he said, “I got all my boys numbers on speed dial and I’ll call them up right now if you don’t get out of here now.” Luckily the bus came and I was able to get home with no harm done to me. At the dinner table I told me brother and mom what happened and they were fuming. My mom isn’t a fighting type of person and told me to just ignore them and pretend that they aren’t even there. “Listen Mike, you can’t let these jerks step all over you but it’s not worth fighting back.
“In a high crime area, stop and frisk is critical for police officer protection, for my protection really. If a young male favors his right side with his hand and it stays firm on that side, and clinches when you walk by him, if you just keep walking you could be dead. If police officers become too casual with the area he patrols and lets his guard down that’s when he gets killed. Police officers are just like everyone else, they have a family, and they kiss their kids before they go to work in the morning. They go to work alive and they want to come back the same way.”(Tim Delaney).
Rafa also seems to be someone who would rather get out of the way then to stick up for Yunior to Papi. There is not much to be known about Madai other than she is younger than Yunior and thought by him as cute. Papi being authoritative due to his dismissal of Mami and again when he pulls Yunior up by the ear when he finds out the boy at dinner. We learn that Yunior gets carsick and Papi does not allow him to eat before long car trips because he has thrown up in the car before and Papi will not have another incident like that again. This is also where the rising action takes place.
My son Travis had to hit his brakes unexpectedly because a young girl in front of him did not use her blinker as she turned the corner. On another occasion while my son was waiting to turn left at an intersection, an oncoming motorist failed to use his signal to turn right, which caused to wait longer than necessary before turning. I have now noticed Travis using his signal to turn into the driveway of his home! The second inadequate skill involves drivers barely coming to a complete stop while at stop signs, or stopping for school buses. One morning I explained to Travis that drivers always have to stop for school buses when the stop sign is out, regardless of which direction they are heading.
That is a problem. The reason is this: whenever we get our backs up at a message that says we should not do something again, it shows that we are out of touch with life’s realities. Picture a parent telling a toddler to “repent” from running into the busy street. The toddler just looks at the parent as if the message or the messenger is the problem, sets his face in determination, and says, “Just watch me.” Dangerous indeed. Such is the nature of the word “repentance.” Repentance is the adult equivalent of stopping at the curb and making sure no cars are coming before you cross the street—especially an adult who has experienced the reality of being hit by a car once before because she didn’t look.
