  1. Where is the media coverage about what happened down in Atlanta last night?  
     

    Officers from multiple zones walked out at the start of shift leaving empty police prescients.  At one point they had over 600 pending calls for service.  Atlanta requested outside agency help and most refused to assist.  
     

    This is radio traffic of them removing weapons from the Zone 6 prescient around 1 am this morning.

  2. Disbanding the Camden police department was union busting.  Nothing more, nothing less.  
     

    Camden County Police is what covers the area now. The neighboring agencies simply refer to it as “the metro”.    They have such a high turn over that their training officers (FTOs) only have 6 months on the road.  Their crime stat reporting is suspect as best, changing domestics into “property removal” calls.  


    All this to say, this isn’t a real solution.

  3. I know you are mocking, but the metabolization of alcohol within the body can be considered as an exigent circumstance that would allow blood to be drawn without a warrant. Generally speaking, States have an implied consent law in place that allows for law enforcement to draw blood from drivers suspected of being under the influence without a warrant in fatal or serious bodily injury wrecks. The Missouri v. McNeely case recently complicated this somewhat and requires law enforcement to get a warrant for blood draws. ..except under certain exigencies. Again, time and metabolization of alcohol / dissipation of evidence are exigencies to be considered.

     

    The interesting thing about this case, is I haven't heard anything about probable cause for the blood draw - either under implied consent, or a warrant. I'm not exactly familiar with Utah laws on the subject, and am just speaking on general terms (dui laws are pretty standard across all states, since the Feds will withhold money from states that don't adopt their NHTSA suggestions). Its possible that Utah attempts to draw on all serious bodily injury or fatal wrecks. In Florida, we need consent, a warrant, or exigent circumstances.

     

    BTW, the safety of the drunk in the hospital is not my concern. They are in a hospital for Cripes sake. My concern is making sure that I get accurate evidence that will lead to an accurate investigation, and if necessary lead to a prosecution to hold them responsible for maiming or killing an innocent person while driving impaired. God forbid you are ever on the wrong side of a drunk driver, I'm sure you would want law enforcement to do everything legally possible to get justice for your loved one.

    The hospitals in my area take blood at intake. Ill advise Im in the process of getting a search warrant and they will have a tox and bac report ready for me when it comes though. Its never been an issue in court and it keeps me from running into any issues at the hospital.

    The list is long and infamous.

    " The Tactical Patrol Force was the NYPD's response to the turbulent 1960's and early 1970's. The riots of the mid 1960's, Whitehall Draft Board Riot and Vietnam War protests of the later 1960's, The Stonewall Riots, The Prison Riots of 1970, Son of Sam Serial Killer Case, Power Blackout of 1977, are among some of the events the Tactical Patrol Force responded to. The shining moment in TPF's history was when the order was given to retake Columbia University and clear out the protesters who where destroying the University. TPF had debris and furniture thrown at them from of upper level windows, buckets of human waste dosed the TPF officers. Yet they stood tall and completed their assigned duty."
