Which part of the "police work"? That's a rather broad brush. A K9 alerting on drywall is unacceptable "police work". Patrol officers using a field test kit and believing the results isn't unacceptable "police work" on the front line officers part. A testing lab determining the substance is not cocaine is acceptable "police work". A testing lab taking 90 days to run the test isn't a front line officers issue.

You said there were "issues" and "problems" but then state that he wasn't in jail because of that but because of violating the terms of his probation which he of course did not. You still are pretty far from stating that this was unacceptable police work. Feel free to explain how the Probation (or Parole) system should work when a person is suspected of violating their Probation terms. Should the person be able to remain on the street until the newly suspected crimes/violations are found guilty BRD in court? If so, WTF purpose does Probation serve? Probation terms can include abstaining from alcohol - a perfectly legal activity (for those over 21 y/o) - yet the simple possession of a bottle of beer could put someone back in jail.

So since the field test kit was only done because the unacceptable K9 work, and the lab test was only because of the unacceptable field test kit, then the entire 90 incarceration was unacceptable? View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

My agency did not allow field test kits. We make arrests based on training and experience, but the arrestee can't be held over a few hours without a chemical test that has been dead nuts accurate in every case. That's still not good enough for the DA. We have to have lab test results (GC/MS) in-hand to get a case filed. View Quote http://www.cnn.com/2017/04/18/us/annie-dookhan-drug-tests/index.html |

Issues/problems with the dog, with the field test and with the lab taking 3 months.

Could they have called his probation officer like he asked? View Quote Certainly. Given the discrepancy between the MDT and the paperwork I would have. With our 20/20 hindsight the probation curfew discrepancy is the first failure point that needs to be resolved. The K9 alerting on drywall and the field test positive results are failure points #2 & #3. Being held on the probation violation is not a failure point - it's dependent upon the info from failure points #2 & #3. 90 days to process a test is failure point #4. |

Explained what was going on, apologized to the driver and cleared the stop. Later that night I was talking to a senior patrol officer and told him about my stop and how I was positive the brake light was out when I made the stop. He literally started laughing and then explained he'd had the same thing happen to him when he had stopped a VW. He explained that prior to becoming a cop he had worked at an autoparts store for several years and intermittent brake lights were a known issue on certain era of VWs due to a relay(?) - he had forgotten about the VW issue until the stopped one for a inoperative brake light. |

It's fundamental to Root Cause Corrective Action (RCCA). Honestly, I cherish my slices of anarchy. I live most of my life in blissful anarchy. I absolutely hate all interactions with government employees, so I do whatever I can not interact with them. Check your car, make sure it doesn't have any problems with the lights. Make sure you carry your travel papers, and that your travel papers are up to date, and correct. Don't leave any valuables in sight, especially money. Don't speed, or make any improper lane changes. If you are captured, detained, and shaken down for money, by the government, pay it quickly, and make sure you keep copies of all receipts and forms. Keep these copies with you when you travel. It may not prevent a government employee from kidnapping you due to some clerical error, but it's always good to have them with you. Don't talk to the police. Provide them only the information they request, ...and be polite. Don't get involved in anything that does not concern you. Mind your own business. Sprechen Sie deutsch? |

[snip] There is a reason liberty was held in such high regard for the founders of this country. Putting someone in jail for intoxicants, is absolutely insane. View Quote It's friggin pathetic how many people who write, enforce, and interpret the law have ZERO regard for liberty and the concept that the Founding Fathers put everything on the line for. "Public servants" my ass. |
