Pasco County Sheriff, Pre-crime Division


It starts like an offer of admission from a prestigious university.

“We are pleased to inform you that you have been selected…” it says.

But the four-page letter from the Pasco Sheriff’s Office goes on to tell recipients they will be facing enhanced police scrutiny under the agency’s controversial intelligence program.

“You may wonder why you were enrolled in this program,” the letter continues. “You were selected as a result of an evaluation of your recent criminal behavior using an unbiased, evidence-based risk assessment designed to identify prolific offenders in our community. As a result of this designation, we will go to great efforts to encourage change in your life through enhanced support and increased accountability.”

Last year, a Tampa Bay Times investigation (https://projects.tampabay.com/projects/2020/investigations/police-pasco-sheriff-targeted/intelligence-led-policing/) revealed that the Sheriff’s Office creates lists of people it considers likely to break the law based on criminal histories, social networks and other unspecified intelligence. The agency sends deputies to their homes repeatedly, often without a search warrant or probable cause for an arrest.https://projects.tampabay.com/projects/2020/investigations/police-pasco-sheriff-targeted/intelligence-led-policing/

Dallas police chief is first to apologize publicly after cop playing Russian roulette kills child

Forty-eight years after a Dallas cop playing Russian roulette shot and killed a 12-year-old boy, the police chief is finally apologizing to the child's mother.

Santos Rodriguez had been pulled from his bed, handcuffed with his brother David, and held in the back of a Dallas police car early on July 24, 1973,

when officer Darrell Cain resorted to the dangerous game in the hopes of getting the children to confess to stealing $8 from a vending machine at a local gas station

Although Cain, who died in 2019, was convicted of murder with malice, he was only sentenced to five years in prison, and he ended up serving half of the time,

The U.S. Department of Justice decided not to intervene in the case at the time, and

a civil suit seeking less than $500,000 in damages failed,

https://pbs.twimg.com/card_img/1419606885410430983/YThLSrkb?format=jpg&name=small

"They noted that Cain also had killed Michael Morehead, a Black 18-year-old, in 1970."

Five Miami Beach officers charged after police swarm, attack suspect and bystander who recorded it

multiple officers were caught brutally slamming a man into the ground.

A bystander who was filming the incident became a target when the officers tackled and punched him repeatedly. What did the two men who were attached have in common?

Both victims were Black.

While all five officers involved in the incident were suspended last week,

the Miami-Dade County state attorney announced charges against the group, (seem to all Hispanc surnames)

all five officers turned themselves in on Monday and

were given notice to appear in court after being charged with battery, a first-degree misdemeanor.

The incident, which occurred on July 26, was

not only captured by a bystander’s camera

but on hotel surveillance footage and

the police officers’ body cameras.

During a press conference, Rundle played edited, pre-captioned, and highlighted portions of the incident, which totaled four minutes of content.

A Black Army vet toured a house in Michigan with his real estate agent and teen.

Police surrounded the home and handcuffed them

As a police officer turned Roy Thorne around to cuff his hands behind his back, the 45-year-old father saw the same happening to his 15-year-old son.

Thorne and his son were touring a home Sunday with real estate agent Eric Brown, who's also Black, in Wyoming, Mich., when police suddenly surrounded the house with guns drawn.

The officers were responding to a neighbor's 911 call about a break in.

They ordered the three out of the house, handcuffed them and put them in separate vehicles.

Except it wasn't a break in.

Brown, 46, who has been working in the Grand Rapids area market for 20 years, had arrived at the house on Sharon Avenue SW around 2 p.m. Thorne brought his 15-year-old son, Samuel.

Thorne and Brown said they were racially profiled. If they were White, they said, neighbors wouldn't have called the police.

And if they did, some half-dozen officers would not have surrounded the place with guns drawn, the men added.

NYPD Sued Over Its Illegal Use Of Sealed Arrest Records

When police officers kill someone, the kneejerk reaction is to publicly disparage the dead (https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20150603/11024131209/every-kill-good-kill-how-police-media-cooperate-to-disparage-dead.shtml), in hopes of making the deceased appear to have "deserved" to be killed, even if their actions during the incident didn't appear to justify the killing (https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20210420/17584746644/filming-cops-is-best-accountability-tool-officer-derek-chauvin-convicted-murder-killing-george-floyd.shtml).

To do this, officers dig into their databases and dredge up every arrest, citation, and documented interaction with law enforcement to make it appear as though the officers have (permanently) removed a threat from the streets, rather than simply applied excessive force until the person was dead.

The NYPD is no different than other agencies. It did this following the killing of Eric Garner (https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20140810/20475228171/nypd-officer-chokes-man-to-death-cops-blame-cellphone-recordings-people-feeling-they-have-more-rights.shtml), leaking arrest records to press outlets in hopes of portraying the dead man as a persistent threat to public safety and police officers.

But the NYPD breaks the law when it does this. State law is supposed to prevent access to sealed arrest records -- records that aren't tied to convictions.

This law is in place to protect people from discrimination and harassment by making these unavailable to be used against them when being interviewed for jobs or seeking places to live, just to name a couple of examples.

The NYPD isn't exempt from this law, but it sure seems to feel it is (https://theintercept.com/2021/07/21/nypd-secret-training-sealed-arrest-records/).

The New York Police Department has been training its officers to break a long-standing law that bars police from snooping in the sealed arrest records of millions of innocent people, :lol

according to court papers filed in a lawsuit last week.

The news comes in a class-action lawsuit concerning the police department’s practice of flouting a state law designed to protect people from discrimination, harassment, and further legal consequences over old arrests that didn’t result in a conviction. The Bronx

Defenders, a public defense organization, brought the legal action against New York City and the NYPD.


It's not just used to turn dead bodies into terminated threats.

The records are also used in court to portray accused suspects as lifelong criminals, even if the arrests never resulted in convictions.

The NYPD also pulls photos from sealed records and adds them to virtual lineups,

giving people with sealed records the dubious opportunity to be arrested for new crimes they possibly didn't commit.
This isn't the first time the NYPD's unlawful access has been challenged.

It has not only been told by legislators it can't do this,

it has been told by a judge.

In court, lawyers from the New York City Law Department, which represents the city and the NYPD, don’t deny that they’re accessing the records the law says should be sealed.

Instead, they’ve argued that the law actually allows police to access sealed records without a court order.

Judge Alexander Tisch rejected those arguments outright in a 2019 ruling (https://iapps.courts.state.ny.us/fbem/DocumentDisplayServlet?documentId=E5J/oVoOadMaVjxOuUqOqg==&system=prod),

finding that NYPD is, in fact, bound by the law and that

if the department “were seeking sealed information for an investigation, it would have to make an application to the court.”


This admission by the NYPD that it's breaking the law should count against it in this lawsuit brought by the Bronx Defenders.

Just as damning are the NYPD training materials obtained during discovery,

which show that the NYPD instructs officers to break the law by telling them they don't need a court order to access these records.

A redacted version of that training document is included in the Bronx Defenders' addendum (https://s3.documentcloud.org/documents/21016192/pd-motion-sealed-docs.pdf) [PDF] to its request for an injunction forcing the NYPD to respect the law.

Experts Warn Viral Police Video and Media Coverage of Fentanyl Could Cause More Harm

"Content like this simply creates more fear and irrational panic that fuels further punitive responses to the overdose crisis, instead of the public health approach we need."

"Despite anecdotal reports from nonmedical sources about overdose from 'exposure' to fentanyl,

it is not possible to overdose on fentanyl or fentanyl analogues through accidental skin contact or from close proximity alone,

"Fentanyl and fentanyl analogues do not readily cross the skin barrier and do not aerosolize well.

The only way to overdose on these substances is from injecting, snorting, or otherwise ingesting them, or in the case of the fentanyl patch, from mixing with an absorbable solvent and applying very large quantities for very long durations of time," he explained.

"Furthermore, opioid overdose is a clinical syndrome with well-defined characteristics that do not align with these reports."
"it is not biologically possible" to experience overdose symptoms, or to die, from touching or being exposed to the drug,

and that alternative explanations to Deputy Faiivae's reaction could be the enormous stress and panic among law enforcement officers around this issue.

Most opioids take 30 to 90 minutes to become fatal, and a fentanyl overdose can be fatal in 10 to 15 minutes,

Professor Beletsky said. He clarified that the only way to get fentanyl into someone's system through their skin is by using medically prescribed fentanyl patches for pain, and those have led to very few, if any, fatal overdoses.

He added that reactions to fentanyl such as Deputy Faiivae's tend to be reported only by police departments or drug administrations,

and rarely has a toxicology report or a medical follow-up shown that an officer, in fact, overdosed on fentanyl.

After spending more than 700 days under house arrest,

a human rights and environmental lawyer was found guilty last month of criminal contempt

in a legal saga (https://mcgovern.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=398694) that has demonstrated thedeep-rooted conflicts of interests (https://mcgovern.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=398694)

layered throughout the judicial system when it comes to climate justice.

In Steven Donziger’s conviction, the initial judge who referred him to trial,

the private prosecutors

who tried him all had deep ties to Chevron,

the company Donzinger had won a landmark multi-billion dollar ruling against.

Chevron never paid those billions of clean-up dollars to Ecuador,

and instead launched a legal attack on Donziger in the Southern District of New York, where

Judge Lewis A. Kaplan found Donziger guilty of bribery and fraud in a trial without a jury.

Kaplan, a former corporate lawyer, held financial investments (https://amazonwatch.org/news/2014/1029-judge-kaplan-held-investments-in-chevron-when-he-ruled-for-company) in Chevron at the time of the decision.

When Kaplan required Donziger turn in his computer, phone, and other personal devices (including passwords) to the court and thus to Chevron,

and Donziger refused citing violations to attorney-client privilege,

Kaplan charged him with six counts of criminal contempt under Rule 42 (https://www.law.cornell.edu/rules/frcrmp/rule_42).

Movement leaders and experts said the prosecution of protesters over the past year

continues a century-long practice by the federal government, rooted in structural racism,

to suppress Black social movements via the use of surveillance tactics and other mechanisms.

Police Video Shows Officers Fire Nine Shots at Bijan Ghaisar's Car in Deadly Chase

An expert witness 322-page report has indicated that the police officers knew Ghaisar wasn't the "striking vehicle" suspected in the accident.

dashcam footage of U.S. Park Police officers chasing a driver on a motorway, before walking towards his vehicle and shooting him dead,

The video shows Park Police officers driving in pursuit of Ghaisar's Jeep Grand Cherokee and as he slows down on two occasions,

officers draw their guns to approach his car.

Both times, Ghaisar drives off.

The video ends when the driver slows at a stop sign, at which point one of the Park Police vehicles pulls up in front of his car to box him in.

Officers once again emerge from their vehicles with firearms at the ready.

The Jeep attempts to slowly drive towards the right side of the obstruction and away from the officers when five gunshots are heard.

The car begins to drift into a ditch at the roadside, and two pairs of gunshots are heard again.

Songer’s impact as a rogue sheriff has proven to be far-reaching, particularly as a result of perhaps his most notorious activity:

a practice banned by the state in 1996 and a law Songer claims sheriffs like himself are exempt from.

refused to enforce the state’s new restrictive gun laws, which were approved by over 60% of voters in 2018.

new law “is unconstitutional on several grounds. I’ve taken the position that as an elected official, I am not going to enforce that law.”

Songer led a group of fellow “constitutional” sheriffs in a revolt against enforcing the shutdown of businesses and masking requirements in his county.

“constitutionalists” believe conspiracist far-right theories that the sheriff of each county is the supreme law of the land,

capable of overruling federal and state laws as well as the judiciary itself in determining which laws are “constitutional.”

shooting your dog just for the hell of it



Postal carriers, in contrast, face dogs on a regular basis yet do not resort to lethal force. Instead, the Postal Service trains its employees how to avoid bites. Using live dogs, handlers and trainers put postal workers through scenarios to teach them how to read a dog’s behavior and calm a dog, or fend it off, if necessary. Meter readers also have benefited from the same training, drastically reducing incidents of dog bites. Is it unreasonable to ask that law enforcement officers display the same courage facing possible hostile dogs that the public asks of postal workers and meter readers? If cops cannot muster the courage to do so, they cannot be trusted to put the public’s safety before their own, Balko says.https://www.criminallegalnews.org/news/2018/jun/16/doj-police-shooting-family-dogs-has-become-epidemic/

LAPD bomb squad technicians accidentally :lol no, incompetently.

loaded and detonated 39.8 pounds of explosives in the containment vehicle on the day of the explosion, Hoffman said.

the fireworks that were placed in the containment vessel were not weighed with a scale but eyeballed by the technicians working the scene.

Pasco County Sheriff, Pre-crime Division

https://www.tampabay.com/investigations/2021/07/24/pasco-sheriffs-office-letter-targets-residents-for-increased-accountability/


https://projects.tampabay.com/projects/2020/investigations/police-pasco-sheriff-targeted/intelligence-led-policing/Pasco County gonna get thumped


It doesn't really matter whether the Sheriff's Office believes its own PR bullshit. It is fully engaged in harassing as many residents as possible. That's why it's allowed its so-called predictive policing program to infiltrate local schools, subjecting minors (and their families) to the same harassment previously limited to adults with criminal records. Almost anything can trigger unwelcome interactions (https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20201120/17545845746/florida-sheriffs-pre-crime-software-says-d-students-victims-domestic-violence-are-potential-criminals.shtml) with the office's deputies, including slipping grades, missed school days, or simply being the victim of, or witness to domestic violence.


Local schools are apparently fine with this. They've been sharing student records with the Sheriff's Office. And the Sheriff's Office has been sharing this info with officers. Both of these actions appear to violate federal and local (https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20201228/10134745957/pasco-county-sheriffs-school-pre-crime-program-is-violating-federal-privacy-laws.shtml) student privacy laws. Not that the Sheriff's Office cares. It says it has done nothing wrong -- only availed itself of records shared with it (unlawfully) by schools.
The exposure of these programs by the Tampa Bay Times has led to multiple investigations and accusations of lawbreaking. One of these investigations involves the federal government, which makes it clear it's not just the locals that find the Sheriff's Office's programs abhorrent. The Department of Education opened an investigation (https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20210425/13545246681/us-department-education-now-investigating-florida-sheriffs-student-pre-crime-program.shtml) in April to determine whether the in-school "intelligence-led policing" violated federal student privacy laws.


There's a new federal investigation underway. The Department of Justice wants to know what the fuck is going on in Pasco County, Florida (https://www.tampabay.com/investigations/2021/09/10/justice-department-to-review-new-pasco-intelligence-effort/). (h/t WarOnPrivacy (https://twitter.com/WarOnPrivacy))



The U.S. Department of Justice is conducting an “intensive review” of the Pasco Sheriff’s Office’s latest intelligence program, federal officials said this week.


The Justice Department sent a letter to the Sheriff’s Office on Aug. 6 — two weeks after the Tampa Bay Times reported that the Sheriff’s Office had promised increased police scrutiny (https://www.tampabay.com/investigations/2021/07/24/pasco-sheriffs-office-letter-targets-residents-for-increased-accountability/) for people whose criminal histories included violent crimes and drug offenses.


The Justice Department’s letter raised concerns about the methodology used to identify targets, communications with the community and the “insufficient” coordination with relevant law enforcement agencies.

a culture of violence like this can't be reformed. it should be decertified and disbanded.


An AP review of internal investigative records and newly obtained videos identified at least a dozen cases over the past decade in which Louisiana State Police troopers or their bosses ignored or concealed evidence of beatings, deflected blame and impeded efforts to root out misconduct.



AP’s review — coming amid a widening federal investigation (https://apnews.com/article/arrests-death-of-ronald-greene-017487c5dddbc8643d12885451939717)into state police misconduct — found troopers have made a habit of turning off or muting body cameras during pursuits. When footage is recorded, the agency routinely refuses to release it. And a recently retired supervisor who oversaw a particularly violent clique of troopers told internal investigators this year that it was his “common practice” to rubber-stamp officers’ use-of-force reports without reviewing body-camera video.


In some cases, troopers omitted uses of force such as blows to the head from official reports, and in others troopers sought to justify their actions by claiming suspects were violent, resisting or escaping, all of which were contradicted by video footage.


“Hyper-aggressiveness is winked upon and nodded and allowed to go on,” said Andrew Scott, a former Boca Raton, Florida, police chief and use-of-force expert who reviewed videos obtained by AP. “It’s very clear that the agency accepts that type of behavior.”

Prison Destroyed Video Proof of Guards Torturing Anti-Fascist

after years behind bars, King and his lawyers say that he was assaulted and tortured by prison guards—and that the Bureau of Prisons destroyed video evidence.

, BOP prison staff attacked King after leading him into a small, off-camera storage closet, then deleted video evidence (https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/21070765-exhibit-a), and may have misrepresented facts about the incident to the FBI (https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/21070766-exhibit-b).

King’s attorneys also claim officers tied him to a four-point restraint device for approximately five hours, and then proceeded to interrogate him despite his asserting his constitutional right to counsel.

King admitted to defending himself against Wilcox during the interrogation.

The case raises larger questions about the extent to which surveillance footage behind bars is manipulated, destroyed, or circumvented at the expense of incarcerated defendants

Up until the incident, which documents say occurred on August 17, 2018, King was a yoga instructor at the prison and had managed to keep a relatively clean record.

“He was a week away from being sent to a low-security facility. He hadn't had a single shot. He had exemplary conduct. He had a good job,”

King has been held in solitary confinement for about three years, without access to snail mail or phone calls outside of communications with his immediate family and attorneys.

BOP has colluded with white supremacists (https://theintercept.com/2021/05/28/bop-prison-white-supremacist-anti-fascist/) by staging assaults and bunking him with members of white supremacist gangs.

DOJ watchdog uncovers 'widespread' issues with FBI's handling of surveillance warrants

yet another blow to the bureau and "the accuracy of the information underpinning its wiretap warrants,"

an audit of the FBI's "Woods Procedures," or the "rules the bureau follows to ensure [Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act] applications to the court are 'scrupulously accurate.'"

FISA, which was ennacted originally in 1978, "sets out procedures for physical and electronic surveillance and collection of foreign intelligence information," per (https://bja.ojp.gov/program/it/privacy-civil-liberties/authorities/statutes/1286) the Department of Justice.

"A failure to adhere to the Woods Procedures ... could easily lead to errors that do impact probable cause — and therefore potentially call into question the legal basis for the government's use of highly intrusive FISA warrants,"

new findings "suggest that the missteps in the Page investigation were not the result of anti-Trump scheming within the FBI, but part of a broader pattern of failure by agents to adhere to their own standards on a wide variety of espionage and terrorism cases,"

DHS Office That Found “No Major Incidents” on Jan. 6 Needs to Be Disbanded

January internal review of its open source intelligence work in Portland, Oregon, during the summer of 2020.

The report might be the most damning review of government work in memory.

Just the document’s subheads alone suggest massive, systemic dysfunction:

It was “unprepared for the mission assigned”;

a lack of training “crippled its workforce” and

“engendered poor performance”;

pressure to report threats “induced improper collection and dissemination”; and

the effort to send its employees to Oregon was “poorly planned and executed.”

DHS’s Office of Intelligence and Analysis shop even

drafted research on journalists engaged in “ordinary journalism” covering the violence in Portland and

then somehow their names were leaked publicly.

the DHS operations center sent a note (https://www.politico.com/news/2021/09/28/dhs-pentagon-jan-6-capitol-riot-514527) to the Army in the midst of the Jan. 6 riot that

there were “no major incidents of illegal activity at this time.”

This was 30 minutes after insurrectionists broke through police barricades around the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6.

A Union Scandal Landed Hundreds of NYPD Officers on a Secret Watchlist.

That Hasn’t Stopped Some From Jeopardizing Cases.

In each of the cases, the officers’ testimony was supposed to help prosecutors secure convictions against people charged with illegal gun possession.

Instead, the cases fell apart, done in by the officers’ own dubious statements.

Yet prosecutors had pursued trials knowing there was reason not to put these cops on the stand.

That’s because they were among hundreds of officers placed on the Bronx district attorney’s “No Fly List,” a secret roster of officers whose cases are supposed to get an extra level of scrutiny by prosecutors.

The list was created a decade ago amid a sprawling investigation into the

city’s biggest police union and its role in helping officers “fix” tickets issued to family and friends for speeding, illegal parking and other traffic offenses.

It grew to 664 names and was intended to help prosecutors vet cases that might rest too heavily on

officers whose ties to the scandal could raise questions about their conduct and credibility.
Ten years after it was first created, the No Fly List itself remains secret by judicial seal.

But ProPublica has obtained a version of the list.

And a review of court records involving 164 No Fly officers still currently on the force shows how one of the most sweeping efforts by prosecutors to flag cops with credibility concerns

hasn’t prevented them from jeopardizing cases.

Let’s Put an End to Prosecutorial Immunity

JABBAR COLLINS LANGUISHED in jail for over 16 years for a murder he apparently never committed. He was only freed a few years ago when it was revealed at a post-conviction hearing that

the main witness at his trial had told the prosecutor that he was pressured by police to lie about Collins’ involvement in the murder.

The prosecutor, representing the Brooklyn District Attorney’s office, never shared that information with Collins’ lawyer—
an egregious violation of the law,

which requires the government to inform the defense of any exculpatory evidence.

At the hearing, the judge who tossed out Collins’ conviction called the conduct of the prosecutor and the DA’s office “shameful” and a “tragedy.”

The Collins case turned out to be the tip of the iceberg.

Soon many other wrongful convictions, orchestrated by other Brooklyn prosecutors, began to surface.

It became a huge scandal and a black mark against the criminal justice system in Brooklyn.

Trooper Charged With Murder in Death of Girl, 11, in a High-Speed Chase

Not long before midnight on Dec. 22, a New York state trooper stopped a car for speeding near Kingston, about an hour and a half north of Manhattan. Inside were Tristin Goods, his wife, April, and his daughters, Monica, 11, and Tristina, 12.

In the exchange that followed, Mr. Goods and the trooper, Christopher Baldner, began to argue, and

Mr. Goods, his lawyer said, asked to speak to a supervisor.

Trooper Baldner responded by shooting pepper spray into the car, officials said.

Fearing for his safety, his lawyer said, Mr. Goods drove off.

Trooper Baldner chased him at a high speed.


When he caught up to Mr. Goods, he rammed his car once and then, seconds later, rammed it again.

The impact knocked Mr. Goods’s car over a guardrail into the highway’s southbound lanes, his lawyer said.

The vehicle flipped over several times before landing on its roof.

Tossed from the car as it tumbled, Monica Goods died.


On Wednesday, Trooper Balder, 43, was charged with murder, manslaughter and reckless endangerment

Busted taillights, missing plates, tinted windows: Across the U.S., ticket revenue funds towns — and the police responsible for finding violations.

Harold Brown’s contribution to the local treasury began as so many others have in Valley Brook, Okla.: A police officer saw that

“You pulled me over for that? Come on, man,” said Mr. Brown, a security guard headed home from work at 1:30 a.m. Expressing his annoyance was all it took. The officer yelled at Mr. Brown,

ordered him out of the car and threw him to the pavement.

Raleigh police detective accused of using fake heroin in drug cases fired (https://abc11.com/omar-abdullah-raleigh-police-department-rpd-drug-arrests/11188359/)



By Joel Brown (https://abc11.com/about/newsteam/joel-brown)
Monday, November 1, 2021 10:20P

The Raleigh Police Department said on Monday that Omar Abdullah was terminated on Oct. 28.


RALEIGH (WTVD) -- A Raleigh police detective who attorneys say planted fake heroin on Black men, resulting in their arrests, is out of a job.

The Raleigh Police Department said on Monday that Omar Abdullah was terminated on Oct. 28.

Back in September, attorneys for a group of men who said they were wrongfully arrested for heroin trafficking announced a $2 million settlement with the City of Raleigh (https://abc11.com/raleigh-police-fake-drug-arrests-lorrin-freeman-lawsuit/11064779/) as part of a federal civil rights lawsuit associated with Abdullah.

"I think for advocates, we've always wanted this," police reform advocate Kimberly Muktarian told ABC11 on Monday. "This is something we dreamt of. So for them, I still believe that -- this is not a reality that they commonly see."

Abdullah was paying a confidential informant (https://abc11.com/omar-abdullah-kimberly-muktarian-raleigh-police-department/6416588/) who promised to tip-off officers to Raleigh heroin dealers. Instead, the district attorney said the informant returned with videos and audio recordings of drug buys with critical clips missing and a substance that lab tests revealed months later wasn't drugs at all.

The civil rights lawsuit said fake heroin was also planted by detective Abdullah with the knowledge of other officers.

The attorneys said wrongful prosecutions caused those who were arrested to spend roughly a combined 2.5 years in jail before the charges were dismissed.

Robin Mills' son, Marcus Van Irvin, was arrested by Abdullah for bogus heroin and initially put in jail on a $450,000 bond.

Mills is frustrated with the lack of transparent answers about how this happened and wants to know why more officers haven't been held accountable.

She said Abdullah's firing and the civil settlement aren't enough.

"They did what they needed to do from a civil perspective. But now we're talking about criminal," she said. "And there's no way the kidnapping of over a dozen black men is not criminal."

Abdullah was placed on leave from Raleigh Police Department last year but Wake County District Attorney Lorrin Freeman has declined to prosecute him.

As for where the case currently stands, in a statement to ABC11 on Monday she said, "The matter remains open with our office."

Texas police search thousands of drivers and find nothing.

Here's where that happens the most.

It’s an unusually common occurrence in the community southeast of Dallas.

Deputies conducted roadside searches on nearly 4 of every 10 motorists they pulled over last year, records show - one of the highest rates in Texas.

the Texas law enforcement agencies most likely to detain and search drivers based mainly on an officer’s hunch.

During traffic stops — the most common interaction between civilians and police — these departments performed discretionary searches at the highest rates,

In Texline, a small Panhandle community, city marshals searched about one in every three vehicles stopped.

In Cleveland, a small city north of Houston, police last year searched nearly every driver they pulled over,

show officers in Texas’s high-search jurisdictions often found nothing, or such inconsequential amounts of contraband that the driver was not arrested.

That mirrors national research showing that most discretionary traffic stop searches bear little fruit.

“Police say, ‘Look at all the heroin we found!’”

“They don’t mention the other side of the equation, which is they had to stop 1,000 people to find that.”

each stop is also a demeaning and humiliating experience,”

Treating mostly innocent motorists with suspicion can “erode trust in the police among populations most subjected to them,”

searches to be racially biased.

“police require less suspicion to search black and Hispanic drivers than white drivers.

This double standard is evidence of discrimination.”

‘If it’s ineffective, why do it?’

the nation’s top court also has concluded that (https://www.oyez.org/cases/1995/95-5841) as long as a motorist violated a traffic rule,

no matter how minor, police can stop the vehicle and initiate an investigation.

millions of traffic stops have shown so-called consent searches to be inefficient.

Only about a quarter turn up contraband, said Baumgartner; fewer than 15 percent are serious enough for officers to make an arrest.

they are a tremendous waste of time,”

they are a tremendous waste of time,” :lol cops are bored shitless. pass the time with gratuitous power plays

Even ask why a copy talking to decrepit, unarmed homeless lady calls for backup and 10 cars arrive? they're fucking bored!

“If the ‘probable’ in ‘probable cause’ turns out to only be a half of a half,” he said. “It makes the phrase meaningless.”

searching about 5 percent of stopped vehicles is a common figure for traffic enforcement.

The Chronicle identified nearly 30 Texas police agencies whose search rate was at least 3 times that.

Officers in 16 departments performed discretionary searches at a rate more than 4 times the benchmark

Border Patrol’s Critical Incident Teams (BPCITs)

have for years acted to cover up abuses at the hands of agents, with a “stated purpose is to mitigate civil liability for agents. There is no known equivalent in any other law enforcement agency.”

“The actions of these Border Patrol units to withhold, destroy, and corrupt evidence and to tamper with witnesses have gone unchecked for decades,”

“Known by many names, BPCITs have existed since at least 1987, and appear to be operating in many, if not all, Border Patrol sectors in the country,”

Their existence poses

a threat to public safety by concealing agent misconduct, enabling abuse, and exacerbating impunity within the nation’s largest law enforcement agency,

Old man set up by a karen and beat up for walking while black, sad story.

A South Carolina city is paying $650,000 to a Black man who was stomped in the head by a white police officer upset that the man could not quickly lie flat on his stomach because of rods and pins in his leg.

Gailyard was walking with a stick wrapped in shiny tape on July 26 when someone mistook the reflective object for a gun and called 911, investigators said.

Orangeburg Public Safety Officer David Lance Dukes ordered Gailyard to the ground and when the 58-year-old didn't immediately drop, the officer stomped on his head and neck, causing his forehead to hit the concrete of the parking lot, according to police body camera video.

Gailyard said he moved slowly and often walks with a cane because of pins and rods in his leg from being hit by a vehicle while riding a bicycle. He also said he was carrying the stick to protect himself from potential dog attacks.

Policing for profit encourages unfair enforcement of the law.

killed more than 400 drivers

who were not brandishing guns or knives or who were not being pursued for dangerous crimes.

prosecutors convinced the courts that the killings were legally justified because the officers felt that their lives were endangered.

local governments ended up paying at least $125 million to settle about 40 wrongful-death suits and other claims.

It was a conscious choice.

I remember the late 1990’s. I remember Rudy Giuliani in New York and his policing model.

There was a trillion dollars in real estate profit to be made in the inner cities. There wasn’t time to untangle the root causes of black poverty. Just suppress crime by beating the shit out of them so the little liberal white women would feel safe moving back into the city.

The trillion dollars didn’t go to rednecks with red MAGA hats in Kentucky.

As long as they had their farmers’ markets, their breakfast places with distressed wood decor and 30 types of eggs Benedict, their independent bookstores.

Why do the police act like an occupying army? BECAUSE THEY ARE ONE. THAT’S THEIR JOB. Could you imagine if the Jewish settlers in Hebron were so shameless as to go around yelling, “Arab Lives Matter!

Police rape

So people who use prostitutes are guilty of rape now? Where's the line between "trafficking" and "pimping"? There really isn't one.

"Yet, many myths and misinformation are still being spread about what human trafficking is and is not. Sex trafficking can include prostitution, but not all prostitution is necessarily sex trafficking. Two main factors differentiate the two. First, trafficking must involve a third party-beneficiary, meaning someone else besides the “john,” or the person receiving the sexual act, must be involved. This is often a pimp, boyfriend, friend, or family member."

Changing prostitution to sex trafficking means anyone who uses a prostitute (who pays her pimp) is guilty of rape.

Or do you want to walk that hyperbole back a bit?

See, this is what happens when you cannot apply common sense to situations and instead toss out the baby with the bathwater. Now soliciting a prostitute is just as egregious an act as paying to have sex with kidnapped and trafficked humans.

FBI document shows what data can be obtained from encrypted messaging apps

A recently discovered FBI training document shows that US law enforcement can

gain limited access to the content of encrypted messages from secure messaging services like iMessage, Line, and WhatsApp,

but not to messages sent via Signal, Telegram, Threema, Viber, WeChat, or Wickr.

The document, obtained earlier this month (https://propertyofthepeople.org/document-detail/?doc-id=21114562) following a FOIA request filed by Property of the People, a US nonprofit dedicated to government transparency, appears to contain

training advice for what kind of data agents can obtain from the operators of encrypted messaging services and the legal processes they have to go through.

Dated to January 7, 2021, the document doesn’t include any new information but does a good job at providing an up-to-date summary of what type of information the FBI can currently obtain from each of the listed services.

As Forbes reporter Thomas Brewster said on Twitter (https://twitter.com/iblametom/status/1465390658395553808) earlier this week, past news reports have already exposed that

the FBI has legal levers at its disposal to obtain various types of personal information even from secure messaging providers that often boast about providing increased privacy to their users.

While the document confirms that the FBI can’t gain access to encrypted messages sent through some services,

the other type of information they can glean from providers might still help authorities in other aspects of their investigations.

Inglewood Police Department stopped in its tracks as it attempted to destroy years of records

Los Angeles Superior Court judge did the right thing and issued a temporary order barring the Inglewood Police Department from destroying records just ahead of a new law offering more transparency to Californians starting Jan. 1.

The Orange County Register reports that ACLU attorneys believed

Inglewood intended to destroy records from 58 criminal cases before Saturday.
This isn’t the first time the Inglewood Police Department has attempted a record destruction rampage.

In 2018, in the weeks before Senate Bill 1421 went into effect—a bill requiring public records to be available for inspection—

the city of Inglewood destroyed hundreds of police records going back to 1991.

'Huge' police disparities found in VA town that threatened Army lieutenant during traffic stop

https://images.dailykos.com/images/1023343/story_image/newFile-3.jpeg?1641236546

Windsor, Virginia ... the town is being sued, not only in connection to an incident from December 2020 but for what investigators have called a pattern of discriminatory policing.

“We even discovered evidence that officers were actually being trained to go ‘fishing’ and engage in pretextual stops,”

this incident was indicative of much larger problems within the department,”

“huge disparities in enforcement against African American drivers, and a troubling lack of policies and procedures to prevent discriminatory or unconstitutional policing,”

Nazario was stopped on his way home in his new SUV for not having a license plate on Dec. 5, 2020. But that’s not the issue:

When confronted by police officers, Nazario was

not only held at gunpoint,

but also pepper-sprayed through the window of his vehicle and

threatened with death

Texas sheriff under investigation for routinely seizing cash from undocumented immigrants

https://s.hdnux.com/photos/01/23/43/65/21904762/3/1200x0.jpg

Hollywood Cowboy hat! Just like in 19th century! :lol

A rural sheriff near the Texas border is under criminal investigation for allegedly having his deputies illegally seize money and a truck from undocumented immigrants during traffic stops

raided four Real County Sheriff’s Office locations as part of an investigation into Sheriff Nathan Johnson,

Johnson admitted to regularly seizing money from undocumented immigrants during traffic stops, even if they were not accused of any state crime, before handing them over to United States Border Patrol agents.

One sheriff's deputy told investigators that “seizing currency from undocumented immigrants and the driver has been standard operation procedure for as long as he has been employed by the Real County Sheriff’s Office,”

accused Johnson of felony-level theft by a public servant and abuse of official capacity, alleging

the sheriff’s cash and vehicle seizures were in violation of the state’s relatively lenient civil asset forfeiture laws.

Not only the cops but judges too.

A judge told a 72-year-old man who has cancer that he 'should be ashamed' of himself after he said he was too weak to keep up with his lawn.

A Michigan judge berated a 72-year-old man on Monday after he told her he had failed to keep up with the maintenance of his yard because his cancer treatments made him very weak.

In a video of the exchange, Burhan Chowdhury, of Hamtramck, Michigan, can be heard struggling to breathe as he explained his situation to 31st District Judge Alexis G. Krot.

"You should be ashamed of yourself," Krot could be heard saying in the video. "If I could give you jail time on this, I would."

She then issued him a $100 fine, adding: "You've got to get that cleaned up. That is totally inappropriate."

The man's son, Shibbir Chowdhury, 33, who appeared with his father for the Zoom hearing, spoke up to clarify that his father was sick and that the property had already been cleaned up.

"Do you see that photo?" Krot asked. "That is shameful. Shameful. The neighbors should not have to look at that."

Krot was appointed by then-Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder in August 2016 and elected in November 2018. As a judge, she is unable to comment on the case, WDIV reported.

"This was an extremely troubling and potentially :lol

The Virginia Beach Police Department ... said that what happened, "though legal, :lol

was not in the spirit of what the community expects."

The police department would lie and say the suspect's DNA was connected with the crime and provide that in the document, which had forged letterhead and contact information,

In one case, the forged document was presented in court as evidence.
