California Homeowner Arrested For Shooting Burglary Suspects

"According to a local Fox News affiliate, the homeowner, James Monroe, 57, had witnessed the trio burglarize a neighbor’s home, only to return less than an hour later looking for additional loot. According to the San Diego Police Department, one had a felony warrant for auto theft and the other had a misdemeanor warrant. In addition, the vehicle they were in was also reported stolen. Monroe was arrested on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon. Neighbors are applauding the actions of Monroe, saying that he stopped the thieves from stealing from their homes, but the police say he should have never taken matters into his own hands."

New phone app would let you snitch on illegal parkers, get a cut of the fine

"Some entrepreneurial Winnipeggers are set to unleash an army of bounty hunters keen on nabbing people who park in disabled parking spots without a permit or in front of a fire hydrant. All that would be needed is a smartphone and the 'spotsquad' app. The app would allow people to snap a picture of a parking violation and send the photo to police, private parking operators or city wardens. A parking warden could then be dispatched to issue a ticket. If a ticket resulted in a fine, under the plan, informants would get a cut deposited into their bank accounts or could direct the cash to their favourite charities." Continue reading →

Calling All Patriots…

"It’s possible for the NSA, the FBI, and, eventually, the IRS to access innocent George’s chat room discussions, emails, phone calls, texts… and gather them all in government computers in a massive game of police state gotcha! And does anyone really believe that these 'security' programs will be used carefully by a government in which the IRS targets and persecutes politically conservative groups, where the Department of Justice targets journalists for surveillance, where FATCA destroys offshore investment rights or where the highest officials lie about what really happened at Benghazi?"

Oregon Extends Reach Of Red Light Camera Surveillance

"Red light cameras and speed cameras will be used to prosecute vehicle owners for dozens of new offenses in Oregon if Governor John Kitzhaber (D) signs a measure that cleared the state legislature on Tuesday. The state House voted 53-6 and the Senate 22-8 to repeal an existing law that prohibits the use of photo radar or red light camera photographs for the prosecution of anything other than a speeding or red light-related infraction."

David Silva Murder: Coroner Who Cleared Deputies Is…The Sheriff!

"No wonder the coroner’s report on David Sal Silva’s murder completely exonerates the sheriff’s deputies who beat him to death: Kern County’s coroner is none other than the deputies’ boss and tireless defender, Sheriff Donny Youngblood. As the Bakersfield Californian ironically puts it, 'Some have long worried that combining the sheriff’s department with the coroner’s office could lead to, at the very least, the appearance that the two entities are working hand in glove.' No, really? Tell me again why any rational person gives the murderers, thieves, and sociopaths in office even a featherweight of credibility or respect." Continue reading →

The NYPD Goes After Another Cop Who Secretly Recorded His Boss

"In the years since New York Police Department Officer Adrian Schoolcraft emerged with secretly recorded evidence of misconduct in a Brooklyn precinct, other cops have been inspired to follow in his footsteps, capturing their commanders pressuring them to hit illegal quotas. The NYPD has long denied that it's compelled officers to reach certain figures for arrests, stop-and-frisks, and summonses. But the recordings proved that officers faced the threat of bad assignments, transfers, or other punishment if they didn't make their numbers." Continue reading →

‘Florida’s Dirtiest Cop’ Charged With Kidnapping Man Who Wanted To File Brutality Complaint

"A notorious former Opa-Locka Police sergeant dubbed 'Florida's Dirtiest Cop' has been arrested for kidnapping a man who wanted to file a police brutality complaint against him. Investigators say Bosque punched the victim in August 2011 while on duty, responding to a domestic call. When the man wanted to file a police brutality complaint at the Opa-Locka Police station, Bosque 'forcefully escorted him from the lobby, handcuffed him and placed him into a holding area.' The victim was held against his will for a short time and was never provided an opportunity to file his complaint, according to the FDLE." Continue reading →

Man Arrested for Video Recording Military Exercise from City-Owned Parking Lot

"A man who was video recording a national guard training exercise from a city-owned parking lot in North Carolina was arrested over the weekend. The group of citizens who were in the parking lot video recording were speculating that the intent of the exercise was to to train the military to impose martial law on Americans. Whether that is true or not, they certainly weren’t dissuaded from that opinion when one of their friends was arrested because he apparently got too close while recording the helicopter in the air. The man appeared to have been confronted by two national guardsmen before a police officer walks up and arrests him." Continue reading →

Exonerated Chicago man claims police tortured him into confession

"After spending 24 years in prison for a crime he didn’t commit, a Chicago man has filed a lawsuit claiming that police subjected him to violent torture methods that made him urinate blood to force him to make a false confession. Former Chicago police Commander Jon Burge, who is named in the complaint, was convicted in 2011 for lying about police torture and sentenced to 4 ½ years in prison. Evidence presented at his trial showed that he suffocated suspects with plastic bags, held loaded guns to their heads and shocked them with electrical devices, Courthouse News reports. The former commander was allegedly also involved in the torture inflicted upon Kluppelberg." Continue reading →

Supreme Court Upholds Maryland Law, Says Police May Take DNA Samples From Arrestees

"As with other recent court decisions involving the Fourth Amendment’s 'right of the people to be secure in their persons, ­houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures,' the justices split in an unusual fashion. In his dissent, Scalia wrote that the majority’s attempts to justify the use of DNA as an identification tool 'taxes the credulity of the credulous.' He added, 'Make no mistake about it: As an entirely predictable consequence of today’s decision, your DNA can be taken and entered into a national DNA database if you are ever arrested, rightly or wrongly, and for whatever reason.'"
