Law Enforcement & Police - May 2007

Just for kickers, here's mine:
I was late for work at a hospital, some slow little old lady ahead of me pulled into a 7-11 and I veered around her and over the yellow line and speeding a little. A cop started after me shortly but I only had about a mile to go so I kept on going and finally pulled into the parking lot. Lo and behold, there's a helicopter parked in front of the Emergency Room, whirrring away... so I'm fascinated wondering what's going on. the cop is at my window asking for ID, and I have my stethoscope hanging around my neck and I start twirling the end of it and acting a bit nervous and hurried. The cop figured I must have a big emergency awaiting and was badly needed so instead of taking up any more of my time he just zipped off a quick warning and let me go! Whew, that 'copter sure turned up at a handy time!
Now tell me your favorite story?

Is there any way to subpoena or otherwise get a copy of a 1989 phone bill? Any companies that might have this information? The phone companies don't keep records that far back - might they have the information in a "deep freeze" somewhere or is there another place to get a copy of an old bill?

Just as there are laws on women loitering the streets with certain intents and also men loitering. Should we have a rule on teenagers and kids hanging around? Especially when in my experience their intent is to hurl abuse at any would be passer by? What are your thoughts?

I was arrested for a .11 BAC breathlyzer DUI in Orange County,CA including Misdemeanor w/ Bodily Injurty. my first arrest. I am being represented next week by a public defender I have not met. What is the general outcome working with these guys... good or awful? Not much cash to hire a criminal attorney. Is this a huge mistake and risk I am taking with the Public defender? Also, any idea as to what the DA will offer a case like mine? Lastly, can anyone please tell me a worst case scenario conviction vs. a real sentencing that the accused (me) got some breaks? Total fines $$$$? Any chance of a restricted licence? Thank you for your feedback... it is really appreciated.

I've asked this question many times in the past and noone seems to know the answer. I've always told my kids that it's illegal (red light moving violation) to turn right from the 2nd lane from the right unless it is green/right green arrow on the traffic light. I know that it is okay to turn right (on a red light) from the very right lane after stopping and making sure it is safe to turn. I looked for an answer in the DMV but could not find it. Does anyone know?

If I am driving on the highway and a city cop is near me, and I am speeding, can he pull me over, or does he have to radio a highway cop? And the other way around too. Thanks.

Someone that lives close to me sometimes burns something that has an odd smell. He doesn't do it all the time, but recently he went through a phase where he was doing it nearly every night for about a week. Always after dark.

Most rational people understand that pedophiles have an extremely high recidivism rate. If the state knows enough about what someone did to call them a sexual "predator" or a "habitual" sex offender - then why are they let out in the first place? That makes no sense - a person is called a "sexual predator" with multiple convictions, and yet they are on the loose in our community. It's a guarantee that they will offend again, so why are they let out of prison?

I'm not talking about someone who is 19 dating a 17 year old, either. I'm talking about people who molest/rape small children.

So today at work (office building), a crew was there installing something for the building air conditioning system.

One of the guys was at the top of the stairs with a cell phone to his ear. He was standing probably 15 feet from the elevator door where a cute younger woman was waiting for the elevator.

Another woman walked by and happened to look at the guy and she saw him holding a second cell phone but pointed at the cute girl.

This second woman didn't think much of it, then a minute later used the elevator herself. She pressed the button and waited a second, then spun around looked at the guy and right when she did that he dropped the hand with the second phone down to his side.

She told his supervisor what happened and he looked at her like she was crazy.

In any case, this pissed me off to say the least and I'm wondering if it is something I should let the police know about. I know they won't be able to do a damn thing, but at least they'll know.

Thoughts?

I want some answers .MELBOURNE, Fla. -- A grieving widow said she wants to know why her dying husband was reportedly denied immediate first aid at a crash scene.

A CPR expert was at the scene, but he claims police kept him away from the dying man, WESH 2 News reported.

"I came over, I offered assistance but they turned me down and told me to step away," Bob Ellis said.


Ellis is a former volunteer firefighter and CPR instructor, who was there when John Wells, 57, crashed his car.

Police said Wells appeared to be having a heart attack and was waving for help before the crash.Police said they helped him to the sidewalk, where Wells asked them to call his wife, but then he started to die.

"The gentleman was gurgling and I offered to maintain the airways, check whatever we could do and again I was told to go away," Ellis said. "The only thing they did was prop his head up, which is exact opposite of what we should have done.

Ellis said police would not let him help, and said paramedics were on the way.

"I did watch him die and I was very upset about it," he said.

Lisa Wells, the victim's wife, watched the interview with Ellis in shock.

"Maybe he could have saved his life, you know, if he was able to help him in some way John might be here," Wells said.

Melbourne police said they will not answer any questions about why they kept Ellis away, because the matter is under investigation.

WESH 2 medical expert Dr. Todd Husty, who is also the director of Emergency Medical Services for Seminole County, said that Ellis should have been able to help.

"The rule of thumb at a medical scene is that the person with the highest level of education, the highest level of training, really, you relinquish control to them," Husty said.

Wells said she is dependent on her husband's income.

"I don't know what I'm going to do," she said.

Police said paramedics did get to the dying man minutes later, but could not revive him. His cause of death and autopsy results have not been released.

I was pulled over for going 45 on a 30 MPH service drive per the officer who pulled me over. When I went to the same spot a few days after I got the ticket the service drive speed limit was 30 BUT when it became a one way it changed to 40 MPH. He pulled me over long after I passed the 30 MPH point.. I believe I was stopped just so he could meet his end of the month quota. I'm going to fight it in court and I'm going to take pictures for evidence . DO I HAVE A CASE?

GARY -- On the same day Patrolman Levi Randolph was indicted in the shooting death of an unarmed teen, he was admitted to Methodist Hospital Northlake campus for psychiatric evaluation after threatening to hurt himself, police said Monday.
Lake County police arrested Randolph, 37, Sunday at the hospital here, booked him in to the Lake County Jail and later relocated him to the Porter County Jail in Valparaiso where he is being held on $4,000 cash bond, Lake County police spokesman Michael Higgins said.

Higgins said Randolph was moved to keep him away from inmates who would recognize him as a Gary officer.

Within hours of the grand jury indictment charging Randolph with reckless homicide, the five- year veteran officer threatened to hurt himself, Deputy Chief Thomas Papadakis said.

"He wrote a letter," Papadakis said.

Randolph was admitted to the hospital's psychiatric unit, police said.

After hearing Randolph and others testify, the Lake County grand jury decided to charge the officer in the death of Vincent Smith, 16.

Smith was shot in the back of the head as he fled from Randolph, who went to a Wabash Avenue home where neighbors reported a burglary in progress Jan. 15, 2006.

Randolph told police supervisors after the shooting he ordered Smith to stop, but the teen ran, climbed a fence and refused to show his hands.

When the teen reached in his sweatshirt pocket, Randolph fired, saying later he was in fear for his life.

Smith had apparently been inside his cousin's vacant home on Wabash Avenue before police arrived. The victim's family is suing the city.

Long before he was hired on the police department, Randolph was charged with shooting Kenneth Sutton, then 17. In 2005, Randolph was acquitted of an attempted murder charge. He testified he fired in self-defense.

My son was in a car accident. He was broadsided in a parking lot as the other guy cut across empty spaces. Because of the parked cars, neither saw the other until they hit. The cop seemed to know the other driver and, although the physical evidence is very clear, he wrote the report up blaming my son.

I don't think this is having any impact from an insurance perspective (even my insurance company says the police report just can't be correct) and there weren't any tickets. But it still upsets me that the report reads this way. Other than talking to the officer (which I'm doing tonight), what are my options for getting this corrected?

Thanks.
