A big part of the Sheriff's "Work smarter, not harder" philosophy involved the fine art of misdirection -- if a subject was so confused that he wasn't per-zackly sure which way was up, then he/she/it/they probably wouldn't be causing the sorts of problems which require extra paperwork. Or ER...

*snort* I'd hope that folks around here would be familiar with me. LawDog

http://www.yawara.com/Yawast1.html http://www.donrearic.com/yawara.html Just as an aside, any number of local critters can attest to the fact that Mr. 'Dawg can hurt you just as bad with an iNova X5 as he can with a five cell Maglite. LawDog

You know, that decision looks like a cut-and-pasting of the high points of the Legal forums here and at TFL. Very good. Very, very good. LawDog

You know, somehow I doubt that NASA had staff lawyers during the hey-day of the moon-race. *sigh* LawDog

Incorrect, since a photo is taken, and stored, every time a license plate is read. PIPS system page. Screenshot of example. Look! It's parked! Want to bet he's not just driving by? Data analysis software helpfully provided. From that page: "Wide range of criteria including..."...

I'm Joe Schmuckatelli. My buddy is a cop, I slip him twenty along with your license plate number. He runs a search on your license plate number from Mar 1 to Apr 1. Your license plate was spotted every day at Elementary School 'A' and Primary School 'PS12'. Four times in that 30 day...

See, that's the thing. Once you buy the cameras and the software -- bundled together by the companies at a nice discount -- the only other things you need are a data storage unit, and a geek to write a search program. The potential power of this system far outstrips any cost. All you have...

Incorrect. I can not run 1,500 license plates per minute, with a location log and photograph for the entire course of my shift and input each and everyone in a searchable database. No officer can run, photograph, and input into a log 720,000 cars per shift. The government is allowed to...

Ye tapdancing Gods! How do y'all breathe with all those people using your air? I have never had to wait in line to get into a gun-show before -- that's kind of new. There was some nice stuff there, though. This gun-show is the first time I've ever seen a Thomas DA .45 in the paint...

Yeah, you should have seen us trying to get it on paper. You'd think nobody'd ever seen one knuckle-dragger behind a teeny-tiny, hot-pink rifle, carefully squeezing off shots; with another goon behind a massive spotting scope, calling out military correction information. LawDog

Enough. You know, I haven't mass banned members here in a long time. Hate to pull one of my patented sturm undt drang sessions on a Christmas day, but quite frankly, the level of incivility here makes it bloody well tempting. LawDog

The laser is to allow the guide or whoever is escorting the blind hunter to verify aim. The hunter -- fully blind, partially blind or legally blind -- aims the rifle towards what he thinks is a deer, or if he's fully blind where the guide tells him there's a deer, the guide finds the laser...
