The militarization of our police force is complete. Dallas Police are using a freakin’ helicopter to find an orange painted streaker on Katy Trail.
A few questions-
1. How hard is it to catch someone who is a) naked and b) painted orange! Maybe if cops weren’t so busy meeting their daily ticket quota they could spend more time patrolling Katy trail.
Dallas law enforcement is concerned about border/Phoenix levels of drug cartel violence coming to the Metroplex. I’m usually one to knock law enforcement fear mongering, especially when it comes to drugs. However, the rash of kidnappings in Phoenix shows that Mexican drug cartels will fight for turf in the US.
From DMN-
So far, the only thing that has kept the Gulf cartel from using its brazen tactics in Texas is a fear of attracting too much attention, said James Capra, special agent in charge of the Drug Enforcement Administration office in Dallas.
Here is an email I received from TCDLA. For those who are not familiar with the Keith Gore debacle here is a quick recap.
Dear Member:
Next Thursday, February 19, 2009 at 1:30 pm, a hearing will be held in the 418th District Court of Collin County on issues involving Keith Gore, the lawyer whose office was illegally searched. The Court will be hearing the state’s motion to disqualify Mr. Gore, as well as Mr. Gore’s motion to disqualify the DA’s office. The hearing is expected to last through Friday the 20th.
Austin’s police chief Art Acevedo, has a plan to expand DNA testing to everyone suspected of a crime. Current law restricts DNA testing to certain felony convictions.
Art’s scheme would mean that the innocent arrested would have their genetic code on file in a government database for over eager bureaucrats and cops to pour over at will.
First, being arrested for a crime should not give rise to the forfeiture of one’s genetic code. Innocent Texans are arrested every day.
Today’s case of the day is….
State of Texas vs. James Ray Deeds-
Facts- Balch Springs officer Palfreyman was working late one night when a motorist flagged the officer down. The motorist was concerned about a possible DWI driver in a red pickup.
The greatest Olympian of this decade is losing endorsement deals over cannabis use. I have a paltry ad budget, but I am willing to dedicate 100% of those funds to hiring Michael Phelps. Perhaps I could hire Michael to swim the Trinity with a Robert Guest.com speedo.
Michael, you are still an American hero. You have nothing to apologize for. Millions of Americans, including the current and two former Presidents, have partaken in the recreational use of cannabis.
I’m proud to defend cannabis consumers, and I would be proud to extend an endorsement deal to someone with firsthand knowledge of the illogical persecution they face. Shame on the bureaucratic fools who would exploit this situation for political gain. Shame on companies like Kelloggs who would abandon you. And shame on the asshat who sold your photo to the tabloids.
One of the many criticisms of the disastrous Herring opinion, is that SCOTUS missed a chance to promote accuracy and accountability in government databases. The result of SCOTUS misguided, illogical, and dangerous opinion in Herring is that innocent people will be arrested on recalled warrants, fake warrants, and other database errors.
After all there is inherent accuracy in government work. Why would the State improve database accuracy if their is no sanction for mistakes?
I saw a glimpse of the Herring future today. I was in misdemeanor court when a female defendant approached the bench crying. Apparently, this lady had written some bad checks. She had a deal with the DA that if she paid off the checks all charges would be dismissed.
Scene: Texas Senate sometime in the past
Senator Genius: The people in my district are scared about gang members.
Senator Einstein: Interesting. My constituents are concerned with the threat of dildo sales.
DISD has a truancy epidemic. The district has so many truants that a special court is needed to help prosecute school children who won’t show up for their free government education.
Truancy enforcement is a win/win for Dallas. The city gets the fines levied against parents, and schools get more funding when an extra body is in the classroom.
That bring us to the truancy court judge Douglas Dunn. Dunn is more of a fascist hall monitor than neutral arbiter. Here is an instant classic from DD.
Every two years our most electable citizens gather in Austin to enact new criminal laws. Passing a new criminal law can be hard. You must invent a crisis that only a new criminal law can solve, and then convince other reps to vote for it. This takes time away from important activities like boozing it up with lobbyists or pandering to special interests. To help streamline the process I have created the Texas Criminal Law Generator. This system creates instant “tough on crime” legislation that is guaranteed to pass and be signed by Rick Perry!
If you are a politician who needs the appearance of “doing something about crime” without being distracted by details like justice, rights, or liberty, the TCLG is for you.
First, pick a politically marginalized group
