D.C.’s ‘beyond broken’ criminal-justice system is an outrage

The Court Services and Offender Supervision Agency on Indiana Avenue in the District. (J. Lawler Duggan/For The Washington Post)

By Editorial Board December 30, 2016

“BEYOND BROKEN.” That characterization by then-D.C. Police Chief Cathy L. Lanier of the District’s criminal-justice system was dismissed by some as hyperbole. But the truth of her words has been borne out in excruciating detail over the past year by Post reporters who have chronicled how repeat violent offenders are released back into the community, only to commit new crimes. “Where the hell is the outrage?” asked the departing chief — a question that, more than ever in light of The Post’s revelations, demands to be addressed by the city and federal officials responsible for the system.

The failings of the mix of local and federal agencies that comprise the criminal-justice system in the District have been the subject of examination in The Post’s ongoing “Second-Chance City” series. Lax enforcement by key federal agencies and questionable judgments from the D.C. Superior Court were spotlighted in a case in which the release of an offender resulted in a woman being raped.

People keep going to this home looking for their lost phones — and nobody knows why

People keep going to this home looking for their lost phones — and nobody knows why People keep going to this home looking for their lost phones — and nobody knows why http://kevindayhoff.blogspot.com/2016/01/people-keep-going-to-this-home-looking.html
If your lost cellphone says it’s at this house, it isn’t


Christina Lee and Michael Saba live in an Atlanta house where several strangers come accusing them of having stolen their phones. Strangely, the phones are never there, and it's because missing-phone apps are mysteriously routing to this home. (Jhaan Elker/The Washington Post)

For months now, angry strangers have been showing up at Christina Lee and Michael Saba's front door with a curious demand: "Give me back my stolen phone!"

Sometimes, families will show up; other times, it's groups of friends or a random person with a police officer in tow, according to Fusion. Despite using different service providers, everyone who bangs on their door has been led to the suburban Atlanta home by a phone-tracking app.

The problem — as the couple desperately tries to explain visitors — is that the missing phones aren't at the house and never have been.

They are not, in fact, thieves. Saba is an engineer; Lee is a journalist.

The pair doesn't understand why exactly, but both Android and iPhone users on various networks are being directed to their house by phone-tracking apps.
Once the awkward situation is explained, most lost-phone-seekers are understanding. But the couple told Fusion that a smaller number of people who place absolute faith in their tracking technology are convinced that the couple is lying, provoking potentially volatile conflicts.

[…]

On several occasions, Fusion reports, the problem has led to serious misunderstandings, such as an incident in which the couple briefly became suspects in a missing persons case:

In June, the police came looking for a teenage girl whose parents reported her missing. The police made Lee and Saba sit outside for more than an hour while the police decided whether they should get a warrant to search the house for the girl’s phone, and presumably, the girl. When Saba asked if he could go back inside to use the bathroom, the police wouldn’t let him.

“Your house is a crime scene and you two are persons of interest,” the officer said, according to Saba.

On-site construction worker Chris Lewis told WCSC News he didn't know refills at the VA Medical Center in downtown Charleston weren't free.

Attorney General Gansler to Sue Carroll Co Md Over Implementation of "Rain Tax"

Attorney General Gansler to Sue Carroll County
 Legal Action Threatened Over Implementation of "Rain Tax"
Marylanders for Joe GettyNovember 14, 2013

Attorney General Douglas Gansler has threatened to sue the County Commissioners of Carroll County for their failure to implement the so-called "rain tax" passed by the Maryland General Assembly in 2012.

Gansler is also one of three Democrat candidates for Governor of Maryland in the June 24, 2014, primary election.

In a letter to the County Commissioners, the Attorney General's office threatens enforcement by "injunctive relief in a civil action or issue an order requiring the County to take corrective actions."  The enforcement action also could subject Carroll County to "civil penalties of up to $10,000 for each day of violation." (The entire letter from Assistant Attorney General Paul N. De Santis is posted on the website of the Carroll County Times click here.)

The threat of fines and legal action has also been covered by national organizations that research tax policy. The following commentary appeared in the blog American Legislator (for full article, click here):

"Maryland is no stranger to tax increases. In fact, since Governor O'Malley took office in 2007, there have been 40 tax, fee, and toll increases. The rain tax is another burden to add to the list. Given Maryland's dismal economic outlook rank of 35th in Rich States, Poor States, the Governor and legislators would be wise to re-think this destructive tax-and-spend approach to policymaking."

UNGER DECISION -- Sniper who shot seven Baltimore City cops in 1976 could get new trial By Alan Z. Forman

UNGER DECISION -- Sniper who shot seven Baltimore City cops in 1976 could get new trial

COURT OF APPEALS  DECISION
TOSSES OUT HIS CONVICTION

John Earl Williams fired from 3rd floor window at Lombard and Carey Sts. in West Baltimore,
killing one police officer,  wounding 6 others

CHRONICLED IN YOU CAN?T STOP MURDER

By Alan Z. Forman


The teenage sniper who shot seven cops -- killing one -- from his third floor window in a West Baltimore row home in 1976 has had his conviction overturned and will likely be getting a new trial.

Four days after a lone gunman shot and killed a Baltimore City councilman and wounded two others in a botched attempt to kill then-Mayor William Donald Schaefer, John Earl Williams telephoned the Baltimore Police Department, told a dispatcher what he was about to do, and then began shooting the city's finest near his home at the corner of Lombard and Carey Streets.

Known as The Good Friday Shooter, his rampage took place on April 16, 1976. Now well into his fifties, Williams, 18, was trying to impress a young girlfriend who had just dumped him. ......

Colleen Vanderlinden: Michigan Woman Faces 93 Days in Jail for Planting a Vegetable Garden


Michigan Woman Faces 93 Days in Jail for Planting a Vegetable Garden

It just doesn't get more ridiculous than this.

Julie Bass of Oak Park, Michigan -- a mother of 6, law-abiding citizen, and gardener -- is facing 93 days in jail after being charged with a misdemeanor.

Her crime? Planting a vegetable garden in the front yard.


Bass says that she planted the garden after her front yard was torn up for some sewer repairs. Rather than wasting the opportunity to start with a clean slate by planting a lawn, she decided to really put the area to use, and plant a vegetable garden.

Her garden consists of 5 raised beds, where she grows a mix of squashes, corn, tomatoes, flowers, and other veggies. Bass received a warning from the city telling her to remove the vegetable garden, because it doesn't adhere to city ordinances (more on that later.) When she refused, she was ticketed and charged with a misdemeanor. Her trial, before a jury, is set to begin on July 26th. If she is found guilty, she can be sentenced to up to 93 days in jail.

Montgomery County MD shuts down kids’ lemonade stand, fines parents $500 - Yahoo! News http://yhoo.it/lVFCaS



A more wholesome American scene could hardly be imagined: a bunch of kids selling lemonade on a summer's day.
But local authorities in Montgomery County, Md., saw things differently. They shut down the kids' venture and ended up fining their parents $500.
The Marriott and Augustine kids had set up their stand Thursday right next to the Congressional Country Club in Bethesda, Maryland, where the U.S. Open golf tournament has been taking place--bringing thousands of thirsty fans to the neighborhood. The kids planned to send 50 percent their profits to a charity that fights pediatric cancer.
But a Montgomery County inspector said the children needed a vendors' license to run the stand, according to a report from local TV station WUSA9. And after the stand proprietors allegedly ignored a few warnings, the inspector slammed the kids' parents with a $500 fine.
"Does every kid who sells lemonade now have to register with the county?" Carrie Marriott, the mother of one of the would-be entrepreneurs, asked the inspector.
"Cute little kids making five or ten dollars is a little bit different than making hundreds," replied the inspector. "You've got coolers and coolers here."
"To raise money for pediatric cancer," Marriott replied.

Anchorage Daily News: Cissna back in Juneau after refusing TSA search

Cissna back in Juneau after refusing TSA search

Read the entire article and be appalled: "... Cissna, D-Anchorage, is a cancer survivor who has had a mastectomy. She underwent the full-body scan at Seattle’s airport but was singled out for a further pat-down search, her second, she said, within three months..."

[...]

"Since new screening measures began last year, the American Civil Liberties Union has reported receiving more than 1,000 complaints from travelers — including breast cancer survivors — who said they endured intrusive pat-downs. Among other things, the travelers claim TSA agents patted their genitals and ran fingers through their hair or along their bras or waistbands..." http://www.adn.com/2011/02/24/1720607/alaska-lawmaker-back-in-juneau.html

Reader Supported News By Scott Galindez: Dangerous Outlaw Willie Nelson Detained by Border Patrol

Dangerous Outlaw Willie Nelson
Detained by Border Patrol


By Scott Galindez, Reader Supported News
27 November 10

n a major coup for the border patrol's war on drug smuggling on the Mexican border, authorities seized 6 ounces of marijuana and detained notorious pot-smoking outlaw Willie Nelson. Nelson was detained after a border patrol officer heroically boarded his tour bus after detecting a pungent scent in the air
US Border Patrol spokesman Bill Brooks said Nelson's tour bus was stopped at a checkpoint in Sierra Blanca, Texas, at about 9 a.m. on Friday. He said an officer smelled pot when a door was opened and a search turned up 6 ounces of marijuana.
Brooks said Nelson was among three people arrested.
Nelson and his crew were reportedly on their way to Austin following a gig in California. The arrest did not take place on the border, but at a checkpoint well inside the United States.
When news of the arrest leaked to Twitter, tweeters were shocked and Nelson shot up to the top of the trending list.
Comedian John Fugelsang pointed out that while Willie Nelson was arrested in Texas for 6 ounces of cannabis, God, who produces it naturally across globe, is still at large.
A popular retweet: "They arrested Willie Nelson for weed?!? That's like arresting Santa for breaking and entering."
Rock guitarist Slash tweeted: "All things considered, Willie Nelson should have a federal issue, no limit marijuana license. End of story."
However, others tweeted that they would be able to sleep better knowing that Nelson is off the streets.
It didn't take long for Sage Francis to start a new "hash" tag: #FreeWilly.
According to multiple media sources Nelson was released after posting bail in the amount of $2,500.
While I mixed in a little satire, the sad thing is that this is a true story. How many of you would have even looked for the pot? I think I would have told Willie to make sure the driver didn't get stoned, and to have a nice day. After I got his autograph of course.http://www.readersupportednews.org/opinion2/304-justice/4065-dangerous-outlaw-willie-nelson-detained-by-border-patrol

Westminster MD begins using red-light cameras March 1, 2010

WESTMINSTER POLICE DEPARTMENT
36 LOCUST STREET
WESTMINSTER, MD 21157
410-848-4646

JEFFREY SPAULDING
CHIEF OF POLICE

IMMEDIATE RELEASE
February 26, 2010

On Monday, March 1, 2010, as part of an on-going comprehensive traffic safety initiative, the Westminster Police Department will activate red light cameras at two intersections within the City.

Red light cameras have been installed to monitor violations on eastbound and westbound MD Route 140 at Malcolm Drive (including the dual left turn lanes) as well as southbound MD Route 97 at Nursery Round (including the left turn lane). The cameras will monitor traffic twenty four hours a day.

Based on extensive research, these two intersections were approved by the Maryland State Highway Administration for the installation of cameras due to a high number of red light running violations as well as crashes that were the result of red light running.

Starting on March 1, 2010 and continuing through March 14, 2010, violators who are detected running red lights at either of these locations will receive a warning notice. Individuals who receive a warning notice during this period will not be subject to a fine or any other penalty, but simply reminded via the warning notice to correct the driving behavior that resulted in their running the red light. Beginning on March 15, 2010, violators will receive citations.

Consistent with Maryland law governing the use of red light cameras, violations are considered a civil infraction and carry a seventy five dollar fine. Citations are sent to the registered owner of the vehicle involved and the registered owner can either pay the fine or stand trial in District Court. Upon paying the fine or a conviction in court, the registered owner will not receive points on their driver’s license and their insurance company cannot raise their rates.

Red light cameras have been utilized in Maryland since 1998 and their usage has resulted in a significant decrease in not only the number of instances of red light running but in red light running related collisions as well.

Mike Huckabee: ‘I Take Full Responsibility’ for Granting Alleged Cop Killer Clemency http://tinyurl.com/yccjnoy

Mike Huckabee: ‘I Take Full Responsibility’ for Granting Alleged Cop Killer Clemency In a Newsmax exclusive, former Arkansas governor and presidential candidate Mike Huckabee explains why he granted clemency nine years ago to Maurice Clemmons, the suspect in the brutal shooting of four police officers in Lakewood, Wash. Given the same set of facts, Huckabee writes, he would make the same decision that he did nearly a decade ago:

The nation was stunned by the senseless and savage cold-blooded murders of 4 young police officers in Lakewood, Washington. Whenever a police officer or soldier is killed, I feel the loss is even more profound for they are the ones who stand between our freedom and anarchy.

At the time I write these words, police are still searching for Maurice Clemmons who is believed to be the one committing these unspeakable acts. Nine years ago, that name crossed my desk. I commuted his sentence from 108 years to 47 years. Many news reports, talk show hosts, and bloggers have erroneously said that he was granted a “pardon.” Others speak of me “setting him free.” As one who now hosts a talk show and who does daily radio commentaries, I can attest to how easy commentary is compared to actually governing. I am not seeking to justify or defend my actions of nine years ago, but it’s important that I answer for my actions and give some explanation as to how and why his sentence was commuted.

I take full responsibility for my actions of nine years ago. I acted on the facts presented to me in 2000. If I could have possibly known what Clemmons would do nine years later, I obviously would have made a different decision. But if the same file was presented to me today, I would have likely made the same decision.

Balto. Co. police spokesperson Bill Toohey to be replaced

In an article, County police spokesman to be replaced by uniformed officer -
Bill Toohey, in job for 13 years, 'surprised' at the news,”
in www.explorebaltimorecounty.com by Luke Broadwater and Bryan Sears, it has been revealed that the longtime Baltimore County police spokesperson, Bill Toohey, the Walter Cronkite of PIOs, has been released – the week before Thanksgiving - by Baltimore County Police Chief Jim Johnson.
Click here for a larger image: http://twitpic.com/q2vtl

Candidly Chief Johnson missed a great opportunity; why not release the popular and well-known spokesperson on say, Thanksgiving Day, or better yet, why not Christmas Eve?

Nothing like starting the holiday season by peeing in the punch bowl.

Of course, there is never a good time to make a bad decision, so the week before Thanksgiving will have to do.

Messrs. Broadwater and Sears report, “… was ‘surprised’ by the announcement, according to several sources with knowledge of the decision…

“‘He’s retiring,’ Johnson said of Toohey, 64, a longtime radio reporter. ‘I’m reacting to his decision to retire…”

Yeah right. My advanced age allows me, for one, to know when someone is peeing on my leg and telling me it is raining. Great start for Mr. Toohey’s replacement, “Lt. Robert McCullough … who has headed the media division of the police department since 1996.”

Sometimes ya have to just shake your head and wonder what folks are thinking – or not; as the case may be.

The article quotes Chief Johnson to say, “Bill Toohey did an excellent job for the agency.”

“But sources said Toohey is looking for a job,” notes reporters Broadwater and Sears.

Mr. Toohey has always had the look and tonality that exuded depth and integrity. Although, I never covered Mr. Toohey, as a reporter, I always trusted that he was leveling with me, and as a news-consumer, he always presented as a straight shooter.

Meanwhile, Mr. Toohey, always a stand-up kind of guy, released a statement, according to writers Broadwater and Sears: “There comes a time for people to move on and new people to move in[.] That is what’s happening here. I have great respect for the men and women in this agency. If I can help with the transition, I certainly will.”

Squirrelgate in Montreal

Montreal Bluesman fined $50 for feeding squirrel

May 5, 2009

MONTREAL, May 5 (UPI) -- A Montreal musician who, for more than two years, ignored a ticket for feeding a squirrel in a park documented the case with the release of "Squirrelgate."

The saga wound down Monday when a municipal court judge gave blues musician Bruce Kert four months to pay a $50 fine for tossing a peanut to a squirrel in the borough of Westmount on Sept. 14, 2006 …

[…]

Kert said he has since stopped feeding squirrels, but expresses his frustration in the "Squirrelgate" song on the Soundclick.com Web site.

It can be heard at http://www.soundclick.com/bands/default.cfm?bandID=934743
