The National Sex Offender Registry: Good And Bad -
 - Joel Hendon (16,285)     
Joel Hendon   
All convicted sex offenders are listed in the National Sex Offender Registry. It is quite amazing and of interest to check it out. The statistics are almost unbelievable. One can list his zip code in their search window and it will show and describe any sex offender in your zip area. I found five... ( added 17 days 23 hours ago.) |
Let's Get Real about Jaycee Dugard -
Terry Mitchell (4,981)  
Terry Mitchell
We were all delighted and astonished to hear of the rescue of 29-year-old Jaycee Dugard after being held by her captor for more than 18 years. She was kidnapped in 1991 at age 11 by Philip Garrido, who had held her until August. Her safe return, along with that of her two daughters that were... ( added 20 days 3 hours ago.) |
Rental Properties: Know Your Rights -
- Joe Cline (320) 
Whether you rent an apartment, a house, or even a manufactured home in Austin, it's important to know your legal rights as a tenant.

Stupid Is As Stupid Does -
- Missing Link (766) 
Missing Link
Now what about Obama's comment about the way the police acted in Cambridge with that Harvard Professor? Well I am of two minds about this and it's partly out of my experience and partly out of my prejudices. First I must say that his comment about minorities being pulled over is probably true and...

Gun Ownership In Peril -
- JP Bender (9,663)  
JP Bender
On the campaign trail in 2008, Barack Obama promised gun owners that, if elected President, he would not try to take away their firearms but he never said he wouldn't let someone else do it.
Now that Obama has been elected, and the liberal Democrat-majority Congress is licking its legislative... ( added 67 days 10 hours ago.) |
Gitmo Is Rearing Its Head Again and This Time It May Bury It In Michigan -
Suzy (918)  
Suzy
It is hard to believe those in authority would pass up an empty high-security prison in Montana to house the detainees from Gitmo and choose a prison in Michigan? New developments are stirring in the late summer winds to house those remaining in Gitmo at Standish, Michigan.
I personally... ( added 85 days 12 hours ago.) |
The Constitution Can Go Only So Far -
- Jean Purcell (1,945) 
Jean Purcell
The news of the day focused every day this week on the confirmation proceedings for Supreme Court nominee, Judge Sonia Sotomayor. The proceedings were full of references to "the law," specifically "the law of this land."
It's clear that judges interpret law before they apply it for rendered... ( added 113 days 3 hours ago.) |
Beware of Yet Another Internet Danger -
Terry Mitchell (4,981)
Terry Mitchell
It's dangerous to use the Internet as means of meeting strangers for sexual trysts now in more ways than one. Rumor has it that, in a rural Virginia county, someone has recently been charged with attempting to set up a sexual rendezvous with a minor, even though there was not a minor involved and...

Should You Talk to Law Enforcement Officials? -
- Aurelia Masterson (1,031)
Introduction This is written as a result of
dealing with people around the world who get questioned by the police
officials regarding various events. Whether or not these people are
guilty is not the point of this writing. The point is to show how
foolish it is to talk to the law enforcement... ( added 152 days 22 hours ago.) |
Is it Okay for Police to Lie? -
Terry Mitchell (4,981)
Terry Mitchell
For a long time, police and other law enforcement officials have utilized the tactic of lying to or otherwise deceiving suspects and persons of interest. They are generally allowed to do this with impunity.
However, when anyone is caught lying to a police officer, he or she is subject to stern... ( added 156 days 4 hours ago.) |
Follow the Money and Then Get It -
Joel Hirschhorn (2,835) 
Joel Hirschhorn
I could not have been more surprised and then angry when I read this in a New York Times article: Lawbreakers are rarely forced to give up the proceeds of their crimes.
Could that possibly be true? You mean our wonderful government agencies do not work hard to retrieve all the ill gotten... ( added 193 days 20 hours ago.) |
Gun Control And Anarchy Are Incompatible -
Joel Hendon (16,285)
Joel Hendon
Answers, the online dictionary, gives 3 descriptive sentences for anarchy as follows:
(1) Absence of any form of political authority.
(2) Political disorder and confusion.
(3) Absence of any cohesive principle, such as a common standard or purpose.
The latter two are currently in... ( added 240 days 22 hours ago.) |
Cellular Service Providers Have New Plan: Prison Time Minutes -
Lauren Padgett (0)
Convicts are using cell phones behind bars and the cellular service providers know this yet they are doing nothing about it. Instead the carriers are stepping in the way of common sense and trying to stop jamming of cell phones in prisons. At the same time they are selling Prison Time Minutes and...

Overzealous Law Enforcement Strikes Again -
Terry Mitchell (4,981)
Terry Mitchell
Recently, six teenagers at a Pennsylvania high school were caught participating in a new fad called sexting.' Named as an obvious takeoff of texting, it is a practice in which one sends nude or semi-nude photographs of oneself, via a cell phone, to a peer usually of the opposite sex. In this...

Dark Figure -
Sara O'Rourke (791) 
Sara O'Rourke
'Road Wars' was on the TV nearly every evening when I'd come home from work. The sirens, profanities, screechings as getaway cars drift down the motorway - it makes the Police force appear to be an organisation that encompasses true adventure at high speed. The British Crime Survey, or BCS... ( added 294 days ago.) |
Colorado Law an Affront to Free Speech -
Terry Mitchell (4,981)
Terry Mitchell
A Fort Collins, Colorado man is currently facing "criminal defamation" charges for defaming his ex-girlfriend on a popular Internet site. The Larimer County district attorney used an obscure state law to bring these charges against J.P. Weichel for skewering the woman in a "Rants and Raves" forum... ( added 326 days 4 hours ago.) |
Laws Should Be Based on Reality, Not Perception -
Terry Mitchell (4,981)
Terry Mitchell
During a discussion of the Plaxico Burress "gun firing" case with a young lady the other day, she stated that Mr. Burress could legitimately be charged with assault if others at the nightclub where his gun accidentally fired felt threatened by the situation. She reasoned that their perception of... ( added 332 days 4 hours ago.) |
Mercy for All or Mercy for None -
Terry Mitchell (4,981)
Terry Mitchell
The other day, one of the local TV stations ran a news story about a young woman who was rescued from a creek by a police officer as she was about to drown. The woman had accidentally run her car out of the road and into the nearby creek as the officer observed from a short distance.
No... ( added 353 days 5 hours ago.) |
It's Time to Put the Handcuffs on Police Departments -
Terry Mitchell (4,981)
Terry Mitchell
Every time I watch a TV show like NBC's To Catch a Predator , I get so mad that I swear steam probably emanates from my ears. Why is it that four or more screaming cops, with guns drawn, have to shove an unresisting, nonviolent, terrified (and sometimes crying) suspect to the ground and put... ( added 1 year 45 days ago.) |
Just Like In The Movies: FBI Looks To Upgrade -
Laura Trahan (38,784)  
Laura Trahan
It is just like something you saw in the movie Gattaca with the security doing eye scans of individuals and palm images being used to enter buildings. The FBI wants to go futuristic with a new deal designed to stop criminals with the latest technology.
CNN is reporting that the the bureau... ( added 1 year 277 days ago.) |
How to Interrogate Terrorists: Colonoscopy -
Joel Hirschhorn (2,835)
Joel Hirschhorn
The Bush administration obviously lacks true out-of-the-box thinkers. There is an absolutely creative way to get the truth out of captured terrorists. It surely is not prohibited by the Geneva Conventions or any US laws. In fact, it is doing something positive for the overly silent suspect; it is... ( added 2 years 18 days ago.) |
Storm's Reflections (Odessa, Tx. Police Shootings) -
Chris Cole (840)
I woke up this morning and I had a mission. I was going to visit my good friend Dr. Daniel Cepero who passed way before his time. He was just forty-three years old when he died (11/25/2003) and like the recent deceased officers, Danny is also buried at Sunset Cemetery. Upon arrival at Sunset, I...

Internet Porn : Practical Solutions Not Anti-Porn McCarthyism -
Aidan Maconachy (683)
As pornography continues to make inroads in American culture, there is
a marked increase in the number of moral vigilantes and whistle blowers
who at times come across as more sex obsessed than the average porn
user. Maybe they should focus their concerns on the local church. A June 2007... ( added 2 years 93 days ago.) |
DUI, Vengeance or lesson? -
- Robert Melaccio, Sr. (5,185) 
Robert Melaccio, Sr.
I find it a severe tragedy that a young man and police officer died as a result of drinking and driving. Many will say to let it be, but this is not to be harsh yet it really needs to be considered because it illustrates drinking and driving impacts every day people who are just average decent...

WiFi Turns Internet Into Hideout for Criminals -
Angela Edwards (120) 
Angela Edwards
In February of this year, the Washington Post ran a story that made Americans aware that with all the strides that have been made to keep criminals away from children online, the effort is far from over. The previous summer, detectives arrived at a high rise building in Arlington County to arrest... ( added 2 years 182 days ago.) |
