THEORY OF GUN CONTROL MEETS REALITY OF CRIME

A May 15 story in The Plain Dealer (Cleveland, Ohio) serves as a good reminder of how a person's support for gun control often changes after a personal experience with crime. State Representative Michael DeBose (D-12) of Cleveland was an opponent of Right-to-Carry, having voted against the measure twice. All that changed on the night of May 1, when he was confronted by two men, one of whom was wielding a gun. On that night, Rep. DeBose's sense of security in his neighborhood changed, as did his view on lawful citizens being able to defend themselves.

My daughters boyfriends sister stole their mother credit card and spent $9,000 of course she denied it and the parents signed a form to get out of the charges that stated when and if they found out who did it that the credit card company would then press charges even if it was family of the card holder. So here is the question..would it be better to be charged by the state for theif by deception or fedral for fraud. She up to this point has a clean record and is a mother of a 7yr old.

I am out of ideas for this man of mine. He is a police officer and has every sort of tactical thing you can imagine. I would have our kids make him a special something but they are only 3years old and 11 months. Flowers arent his style, and he already has shavers and gadgets for the computer and camera. I've also looked at flashlights, duty gear, and boots. I'm tellin you the man has everything. Any suggestions?

I was just curious about this, and I have asked several people but no one has been able to give a plain, logical, common sense answer: If you get a license, you can carry a gun under your clothes, under a coat, etc., but not in plain view, like at your waist (like in a holster). But if Americans have a right to bear arms, why aren't they allowed to carry guns in plain view?

I went to a federal building in Los Angeles and when I was walking past a man with a cemera hanging around his neck I herd the clinking of pictures. Was he taking pictures for the government of people? What if I just happened to look suspecious and then became a person of interest? I'm sure if this happened to someone their life could be ruined even though they were innocent of any crime or terrorist activity.

I recently sent my resume over the internet using Resume Delivery and I believed a scam (for a few days).

After doing some homework on Nigeria Internet scams, I see that this too is a scam. (I was told to cash checks for this company and the person emailing me-NEVER gave me his name.)

I have NOT cashed any checks, both are sitting here-waiting. I was told from a friend--to shred the bogus checks. I went on line and reported this to the DOJ and to the FBI and to another website-about 419 internet scams.

I read on the FBI website that I should keep all hard copies of evidence that is why I am not trashing the bogus checks.

The person that was emailing me now is stating that he will report ME to the FBI. He said today in an email that the CIA will be at my door on Monday morning. Everyone in America knows that Monday is a holiday in America--Memorial Day.
Again, I lost no money.

Is he using scare tatics? Should I keep his emails as evidence too?

Another man, William Roman, was shot with nine rounds of electrical ammunition last month outside an Orlando night club. His "criminal" act was disorderly conduct and one false move may have cost him his eyesight, according to Problem Solver Wendy Saltzman.
One of the men featured in the report, Antonio Adams, said he felt like a hunted animal after being shot three times with Tasers by police.

"I felt like I was going to die, you hear me. I was supposed to die that day," Adams said. "When I tried to get up he was like, 'Tase him, Tase him.' and when the next Taser came the next Taser hit me in the temple. Police brutality, that's what I'm screaming."
Most officers have used their Tasers only once or twice. But three of the top Orlando police officers have used their weapons a combined total of 77 times, in just the last 13 months.

Officer Johnathan Cute tops the list with 35 Tasing incidents, according to the report.

In Orange County, the top three "Taser" cops have used their weapons a total of 59 times.

Local 6 News discovered that the use of force against suspects in Orlando have nearly doubled in the last 14 months since Tasers were issued to police. And even though officers were using more force, they arrested fewer suspects.



Police injuries did decrease significantly, but suspect injuries stayed the same.
Sen. Gary Siplin, D-Orlando, to propose a bill that would restrict the use of Tasers to firing only at violent or threatening lawbreakers.

"I was hearing reports of Tasing for jaywalking, a 75-year-old woman, a 5-foot, 100-pound high school girl — by a 200-pound officer," he said. "I know she may have a big mouth, but was it necessary to Tase her?"

His bill died in committee May 6, but Siplin said plans are moving ahead for a state-sponsored study of the effects of Tasers on people with cardiac, neurological and respiratory conditions, and on people taking drugs.

"You shouldn't be killed for being on drugs. You've got to take the subject the way you find him."

A few friends of mine have been having an ongoing argument about police searches.

---hypothetical situation---
So there is a party. There is underage drinking (I'm 24, this question is for trivial knowledge and the right to say "i told you so") If the police know there is a party, but havent received any noise complaints and have no REAL proof that there is underage drinking. Do they have any right to enter the house without consent or a warrant?

Additionally, in an attempt to find a loophole, can they claim that they smelled marijuana (even if they honestly did not) and then use that as an excuse for an unwarranted search?

On the topic of loopholes, what are the limitations on the police's rights to look through windows? Can they look through bathroom windows? If they can look through bathroom windows, couldn't that be considered sexual harassment?

I understand that the size of the police department depends on the population of the town or city. The fictitous town I am writing about has a population of seven thousand and fifty people. What would the size of the police department be for a town with this many people in it..

I was wondering if fecal matter or vomit was ever used as forensic evidence...

Like if a suspect was last seen eating dinner with the victim at a seafood restaurant, but denied it. Also lets say the victim was mutilated where the stomach contents were spilled. Lastly maybe the suspect used an outhouse or whatever leaving their fecal matter...so that the police can compare the seafood.

I know it sounds funny, but I never hear anything but blood and semen on Cold Case Files or any other of those shows.

I think violent crime would be drastically reduced across the board if people walked around openly carrying automatic weapons.
