    The LawDog Files: The Infamous Pink Gorilla Suit Story

    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...

    ACLU commends LAPD's decision to use new flashlights

    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

    DC CIRCUIT COURT STRIKES DOWN GUN LAW ON 2A GROUNDS

    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

    Guns in Space; Not Such a Good Idea

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

    License plate recognition system

    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..."...

    License plate recognition system

    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...

    License plate recognition system

    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...

    License plate recognition system

    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...

    Dallas Market Hall Gun Show

    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...

    Kids and Guns

    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

    Senior fires at police during raid and lives!

    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

    Texas Bill: Let Blind Hunters Use Lasers

    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...

    The LawDog Files (Christmas Edition)

    Show of paws here: how many people know what a pogonip is? For the unwary, a pogonip is also called an ice-fog and is basically a thick blanket of winter fog that freezes on contact with anything solid, forming a super-slick rime of ice up to several inches thick. Okay. As penance for...

    Difference between the civilian & LE Taser units?

    The X-26 LE Model has a 21-foot range and the ride is for 5 seconds. The X26c has a 15-foot range and the ride is an awe-inspiring 30 seconds. LawDog

    Police Armament

    Oh, dear. You are obviously terribly disappointed by THR. Your expectations from the Staff here are not being met. A terrible sin, to be sure. *sigh* There is no hope. In order for you to be happy, you obviously need to find another Forum that is more conducive to you and your...

    President Lawdog

    Run? *pthbbt* What you folks consistently forget is that the average American doesn't want someone who'll follow the Constitution to the letter. The only folks who truly want me anywhere near the Oval Office are you folks -- mostly. If I were to reach the Oval Office tomorrow and...
