Along those lines, here's a decent Kool-Aid-drinker article from Yahoo on the defense:
Jairus Byrd's Arrival Final Step Toward Dominant Buffalo Bills Defense in 2013
And yes, !@#$ you, Dave.
And, here I let Damond Talbot dupe me into thinking that landing a Yahoo writing gig was a big deal. Apparently the only qualification is being a longtime fan! Maybe I could be the next JW?

I think I have discovered why we are at odds. You live in Florida.

Here is the rule in New York:

Just a slight difference. I can't find the laws on smoking weed while driving. I'll post them when I do.
PTR
Thanks. I looked em up before I posted. It's still a non criminal charge. If he won't cuff and stuff for the weed, he certainly ain't cuffing and stuffing for a non criminal infraction. Seems more like a POP (making the po po mad) charge if you get mouthy - Officer has the threat of jail in his back pocket. OTOH, I do find it weird that you can get jail time for a non criminal charge. In FL, judges don't give jail time to first (or sometimes second) time DUI offenders!

Do you know how you check? Take a sniff. Since the cop smelled an odor of pot his nose obviously was working.
The next question is do you smell pot smoke? Do you see a roach in the cupholder? Do you smell it on the suspects breath? Are his eyes glassy?
If the answers are "no" then all you have is simple possession. You don't need a CSI unit to tell you if he was smoking.
PTR
Again PTR, there has to be evidence of impairment to charge a DUI. The fact that a driver is smoking weed while driving doesn't make a proper DUI arrest. It makes a proper possession arrest / summons. As I tried to explain earlier, and was called crazy on, if you are drinking beer number one while driving - you will not get arrested for DUI. You will get a non criminal cite for having an open container of alcohol. What is so hard to understand about this?
I like 99% of your posts, dude. But, dang you are dense!

Wow. This is completely stupid.
Driving while drinking a beer is its own crime. Even if you're on the first sip of the first beer.
Driving while smoking a joint, pipe, or whatever also is its own crime.
It's incredible that this needs to be explained.
Incredible, eh? Please explain to me these separate crimes (please refrain from using city ordinances as your reply. Those are about as serious as a parking ticket). And, remember that I am a real dolt when it comes to these kinds of situations. Thank you kindly.
Wait a minute....
under what law does "they cant see who is driving" fall under?? That to me is unjust cause just to pull somebody over. Do they treat those long limos with deep black tint the same as a normal auto with deep tints??
That's the beauty of it. It matters not what you consider 'just' and 'unjust'. Unless you are a New York State Legislator, I guess. Dark tinted windows are a safety hazard. Ever try looking out side windows that have 10% tint at night when you are preparing to make a left turn? You probably wouldn't see the kid in the road through the window. Ever walked up on a car with dark tinted windows that you have just pulled over at 12am, having no clue who is inside or what they have in their hands? Yeah, didn't think so. They are illegal, and can / will get you pulled over. Don't like it, call your congressman.
Hey sig, have you come across THC Wax yet? I came across it for the first time last week on a traffic stop.
Saw a bulletin on it. We've been inundated with the synthetic stuff down here.
-
So you are saying that you have been pulled over with a cracked-open beer in the cup holder (or something similar) and the cop does nothing? Color me skeptical.
PTR
Yeah, PTR. That's exactly what I am saying...
-
You want to test that theory? Open container or a lit blunt gets you more than a citation.
PTR
I test it every day that I go to work, my friend. Trust me.
-
Whoa! When did scent of mj become burning one? Unlit ganj had a strong odor all by itself. Besides if the policeman thought someone was smoking Bradham would be given more than a citation.
PTR
More than a citation? Like what? Possession is possession, whether in a little baggie, rolled in a joint, or burning in a pipe. If you are inferring a DUI, there has to be evidence of impairment before that comes in to play - just like drinking a beer while driving doesn't automatically qualify you for the DUI, smoking a fattie behind the wheel doesn't either!
-
not just in NYC...its all over NY state. Troopers will almost 100 percent pull you over for a deep tint. They even have a tint measure instrument that can actually measure the tint darkness, amazing huh?
But DWB was for sure involved in this case.
Sad thing is for Nigal, if he doesn't get rid of the tint and change his plates to NY it will happen again.
Just so I understand correctly, he was pulled over for having illegally tinted windows, but in actuality it was based on his race? What do you base this on? Just because a person is black, green, yellow, or pink and they happened to get pulled over for a valid, legal reason doesn't mean that the person is being profiled because they are black, green, yellow, or pink. If that was the case, only white folks could ever be pulled over - since we all know white folks can't claim racial profiling....
-
People keep using the word "profiling" and it makes me laugh. Do you even know that criminal profiling is a completely legitimate/legal tactic used by law enforcement? Besides, how is it profiling (in your negative understanding of the practice) when there is PC to stop based on dark tinted windows? Seems more like a pretextual stop to me. Which is, BTW, another perfectly legitimate tactic.

Poll:
My GF and I were talking about a conversation she had at work and one I had at work. A colleague of hers is ready to shoot ZimZam dead on sight. She told me his viewpoints and why - the guy is a former cop. Similarly I talked to a guy at work today who explained a similar premise.
I grew up in middle class white suburbia far away from the inner city, and all that. I exude that, as well. A colleague today told me I was not racist but just ignorant because I do not understand the struggles in the city. I do not understand street culture and how Trayvon was just doing what he knew. That the streets, thugs, cons, etc behave in ways I would know nothing about.
Is that racist? To me it is...being a white guy, all preppy, and not knowing the streets because I am white and preppy.
I think I understand why this guy is a FORMER cop.

The photo is owned and was commissioned by the NFL.
The photo is from a set of portraits taken on March 6 of this year at the NFL Network studios.
Should've went with this one instead, I guess:
Video here: http://www.nfl.com/v...agent-receivers
Interesting. If you watch the video, it appears as if they put some black tape over the patch on his shirt...
-
Really? He seems like a pretty normal, likable guy to me. At least by NFL coach standards
Can't explain it. Just a feeling that I got. Maybe it was the Dolphins shirt he was wearing?

The thing that I took away from watching the series was the arrogant douchieness of Joe Philbin.

I didn't even know until 2 days ago that he was actually living with his uncle. Sybrina didn't know **** about him.............Messed up parenting.
Where were any character witnesses? Where were his teachers (esp. the one who said he got all As and Bs and majored in cheerfulness.)
There weren't any character witnesses for TM because if they put them on, then that would open the door for the defense to bring in all the evidence that they had to go to his character, or lack thereof.
-
One of the things I hope results from this case, is a law that neighborhood watch must have something that Identifies their vehicles and themselves when they are acting in that function. GZ thought TM was a burglar and TM thought GZ was some kind of pervert or other bad guy, proper identification may have prevented this tradgety.
What does Neighborhood Watch have to do with anything? If I am merely a concerned citizen, I should have to post a sign on my car?

It is a little racial no matter what anyone says here.....at 7pm white people are walking there dogs its all normal, when Trayvon walks at 7pm he's suspicious and now he's dead.
It's all over now though...congrats to the GZ heads. Justice has been served Florida style.
That's quite a disingenuous leap of logic there, buddy. White people walking their dogs at 7pm generally aren't considered suspicious because they don't do it on rainy evenings, walking in between houses, and looking in windows. If they did, I'd call the cops on em too. If trayvon had been walking his pup on the sidewalk scooping up poop, he wouldn't have been given a second thought. It's not about racial profiling. It's about keeping an eye out for your innocent neighbors when they have been repeatedly violated by thugs. Thugs come in all colors, btw.

You all should take the time to read this quick essay by Tim Wise. I know most of you won't but here is the link: http://www.timwise.o...to-my-daughter/
An excerpt:
There are laws governing when you can "take a swing at someone". It is not legal to take a swing at someone because they are following you. It is not legal to take a swing at someone because you think that they look "creepy". What is the correct thing to do when you see someone that is acting suspicious or creepy? Call the police. GZ did, TM didn't. He had a phone. It is apparent by GZ's actions that he did not want to take the law into his own hands, and instead wanted to get the authorities involved. TM had the opposite reaction, according to the evidence.
You can't "stand your ground" because of someone else's lawful actions. I can walk or drive through my neighborhood and follow behind anyone I damn well choose. I can even say things to them. Heck, I can get out of my car if it strikes my fancy. Ya dig?

He didn't have to prove he acted in self defense. The prosecution has to prove beyond a reasonable that he DIDN'T act in self defense. It's different in a state such as New York where you have you prove that you DID act in self defense.
So, what you are saying is in NY the fundamental American right of being innocent until proven guilty does not exist? You so crazy.
-
You are responsible for turning over certain information. Not all information. What information needs to go out is a legal call.
You're right. I was assuming that the defense was worth its salt and had filed a demand for evidence in the state's possession that is favorable to their client. IF this demand was filed, they are obligated to turn it over.
Hence, the discovery violation.
-
If your IT guys are leaking or going on about the existence of info your attorney's have decided doesn't have to be disclosed then you s-can him. In the alternative, you agree and discipline or s-can the attorney. But you don't just do nothing. And they sure as hell weren't going to basically admit the prosecution was hiding evidence.
But, as state attorneys office you have an ethical obligation to disclose all evidence in your possession - to include exculpatory evidence. The State cannot just say, "ah, forget we saw that and throw it away". And, when someone comes forward and calls you out on your ethical obligation - you cannot s-can him. This whole situation stinks to high heaven.

Only capital cases (first degree murder) get 12 member juries.

does the sheriffs department have any authority or jurisdiction over a local police office?
Nope. Just a different jurisdiction. City officers have jurisdiction within their municipality, while the sheriffs office has jurisdiction in the whole county. Mutual aid agreements can give jurisdiction in other places, but you get the gist.
