Cop flips on kids for skating downtown in Hot Springs Arkansas. Jarad Graham, Drew Irwin, Skylar Nalls, Matt McCormack, Robbie Brindley, & Casey Canterbury get arrested.

I love to bring you these stories, let me guess…..the cop jumped him because he was “disorderly”, refusing to dive to the concrete when the officer ordered him to. WTF America, when are we going to stop and smell the roses that the Government, and specifically the Policing forces of the US are fucked. Who on Earth can justify the way the cop grabs the other “child” after he cant catch the other kid. They are brutal, out of hand, and truly believe they are untouchable. THE POLICE! We are not an anti-government site, nor have any public persuasion to one party or another. But we call bullshit when we see it. Take a look for yourself, and we encourage you to fallow up on the numbers below to complain about police brutality.

Jefferson eyes bong-sale ban Wednesday, March 19, 2008

We’ve included this informational video for those of you who need to learn about the horrors of Marijuana, and how to spot illegal paraphernalia.

JEFFERSON TOWNSHIP — Local bong sales could go up in smoke beginning with a council discussion tonight.

The council agenda includes a sample drug-paraphernalia ordinance outlawing a long list of “all equipment, products and materials of any kind” that could be used for “introducing into the human body a controlled dangerous substance.”

The law echoes state statute. However, while the state law limits having the paraphernalia in the context of possession or distribution of drugs, the Jefferson ordinance to be discussed could outlaw the sale of anything in the township that could be construed as paraphernalia in the township without a connection to having or selling controlled substances.

Jefferson police Lt. Eric Wilsusen said Jefferson police are looking to limit the sale of potential drug tools and apparatus in two particular Route 15 gas stations. The Getty and Exxon stations recently sold what could be used as drug paraphernalia, particularly implements such as glass pipes and other filtration systems that could be used to smoke marijuana.

Getty voluntarily removed the targeted merchandise from the store, but the counter of the Exxon store still is covered with multiple pipes and other paraphernalia that could be used to smoke marijuana.

Wilsusen said the ordinance suggested by the police to the council is an attempt to avoid a drug problem, or even “nip it in the bud,” by banning the items for sale within the community.

“Obviously, this concerns us,” Wilsusen said. “I guess you can claim if you’re selling these things that people are smoking tobacco out of them, but we all know what it’s used for.”

Mayor Russell Felter and Township Attorney Lawrence Cohen could not be reached for comment Tuesday.

Wilsusen said the Jefferson council is using an East Rutherford ordinance passed in 1984 as a template for the Jefferson law.

East Rutherford police say the law has gone unchallenged and apparently has worked as it was intended. Deputy Chief Larry Minda said he considers their ordinance a success over the last two decades, especially considering the development that has sprung up with the sports complex in the borough.

“It actually works well … the foresight was there,” Minda said.

East Rutherford also has ordinances limiting the sale of spray paint to combat graffiti, and cracking down on public cigarette smoking by juveniles, Minda said. Like those, the local drug paraphernalia law sets the atmosphere for the town and curbs problems before they happen, he said.

“I think it serves as an example and a barometer … and it’s worked out very well,” Minda said.

The American Civil Liberties Union of New Jersey’s spokeswoman said she had not heard of the East Rutherford or Jefferson ordinances covering the sale of drug paraphernalia. Executive Director Deborah Jacobs said state law already addresses the issues clearly.

“I haven’t heard from other municipalities passing ordinances like this,” she said. “I would assume it’s because state law covers this.”

Current legal precedents indicate that pipes and other smoking devices sold at the Exxon and other places are legal, if their potential use for controlled substances is not advertised or otherwise specifically known by the seller. This was partially determined in such cases as the 1980 U.S. District Court decision Knoedler vs. Township of Roxbury. In the case, the owner of a shop called Nature’s Head successfully defended his rights to sell potentially unlawful drug paraphernalia.

However, the judges’ opinion also said the spirit of the ordinance was well-founded, but it simply outlawed too many items that might have legal uses, such as various pipes that could also be used for tobacco.

“The ordinance is aimed at a legitimate target, the sale of paraphernalia utilized in connection with illegal drugs, but its impact is too broad,” wrote Judge H. Lee Sarokin. “It is a cannon where an arrow is more appropriate.”

Still, that kind of determination does not seem realistic to many people, said Wilsusen.

“The last I checked, there aren’t too many people hand-rolling their cigarettes anymore … let alone smoking tobacco out of 5-foot bongs,” Wilsusen said.

However, the situation could resolve itself before council even gets to vote on a potential ordinance.

The unnamed manager of the Jefferson Exxon said he wants to avoid the stigma of carrying items that might run afoul of the law and said he likely will send them back with the wholesaler later this week.

Some Silly Laws in good old California as told to by a fairly smart dude! Let’s take a little trip down taxpayer lane and see what our good hard earned cash is spent on by the government. Basicaly as I see it, they make up new laws so that they have plenty of justification for paying themselves $200,000 a year. No new law making, no jobs for lawmakers! Due you really think that there are laws that just “slipped the mind” of lawmakers over the past 200 years. NO, THEY KEEP SPENDING OUR MONEY, TO HAVE JOBS!

Police polygraph test… cops teaching how to lie and pass.

This type of stuff really, really annoys me. Police are the people we look for to uphold the laws, not the people who should be teaching other people to circumvent the laws and not get caught… for a price of course. So, let me get this straight… If I am a corrupt wanna be cop, I can pay to have other cops coach me on how to pass the polygraph and entrance tests into the police department?

This is the polygraph test I found that many police officers must pass to get hired. The funny… or maybe not so funny part of it was that the person who wrote this was promoting his product to “pass the police polygraph test” and not get caught.

george-m-godoy_86167.jpgThe man behind this article is promoting his site on how to lie effectively and pass the police polygraph test as well as other tests. This is supposed to be a picture of him, in uniform on the left.
Now, I may be wrong here, but isn’t the point of the testing is to weed out the corrupt cops? With this type of coaching available from other cops, no wonder, some police department somewhere, is in hot water over corruption issues almost weekly.

Most of the questions involved are about criminal conduct… I may be nuts here, but how does any PD allow officers to coach others or reveal what will be on the test as a side job? Unlike other fields where stuff like this probably does not matter, here, it does.

Police polygraph examinations fall under the guidelines for employment interviewing of title VII of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, so examiners are obliged to conduct the examinations in a way that would not discriminate on the basis of sex, race, etc. One central principle of ethical standards is that relevant questions be related to the job applied for.

Here are typical questions asked on the police polygraph exam:

Did you tell the complete truth on your job application?

Have you deliberately withheld information from your job application?

Have you ever been fired from a job?

Since the age of ( ) have you committed an undetected crime?

Since the age of ( ) have you been convicted of a crime?

During the past year, have you used marijuana more than ( ) per ( )?

Have you used any other narcotic illegally in the past ( ) years?

Have you sold marijuana or other narcotics illegally in the past ( ) years?

Have you ever stolen more than ($ ) worth of merchandise in any one year from any of your employers?

Have you even stolen more than ($ ) in moneys in any one year from any of your employers?

Have you ever used a system to cheat one of your employers?

Have you ever had your drivers license suspended or revoked?

Have you ever had any traffic citations in the past five ( ) years?

Have you deliberately lied to any of these questions?

Values, such as age and number of years is determined by the specific department.

The method used by John E. Reid & Associates employs four standard relevant questions: In the last five years did you steal any merchandise from previous employers? In the last five years did you steal any money from previous employers? In the last ten years did you take part in or commit any serious crime? Did you falsify any information on your application? These standard questions may be modified depending on admissions made during the pretest (e.g., a revision may be, In the last five years did you steal any merchandise other than minor office supplies?).

In addition to the standard questions a fifth relevant question (e.g., concerning the illegal purchase or sale of merchandise; use of narcotics) may be added. The Reid firm also uses what it regards as control questions in pre-employment interviews. Control questions include, Did you ever steal anything in your life? and Did you lie to any of the questions you answered during the application process for this job? It is not clear, however, how the Reid pre-employment control questions differ from the relevant questions. It seems reasonable to suppose that both truthful and non-truthful subjects (in terms of the relevant questions) may be just as concerned with the subject matter of the control questions as they are with the relevant questions. It is also not clear why employers would be less concerned with the control than with the relevant questions.

Remember, the police polygraph is only a tool used by law enforcement agencies to gather background information on the candidate. Though it is seen as a form of intimidation, there are proven techniques and strategies that should be employed to ensure you pass the polygraph.
Did you know that 50% of all police applicants will fail the polygraphy? Can you afford to be one of them? To learn important strategies to pass the police polygraph and also learn why 70% of all police applicants fail the written test

Just sick coaching on how to be better at corruption

We all believe that laws are around for one good reason or another… right? well most laws. We also (most of us) believe that law enforcement is there to enforce well those laws that are there to better all of our lives. However, with some law enforcement agents, they may believe that those laws are there to better not the lives of the general public but thier own.

Wow, we all wanna park right in front of any place we go to, normally we just can’t because it is a handicapped zone or a fire hydrant zone.

So do some law enforcement officials belive that the city zoning is that way for thier own well being. So they can park thier cars right in front(too many donuts makes one a bit lazy to walk the extra 20 feet) knowing that they will not get that very expensive ticket for doing so… This next video shows that yes… some of them do.

I hope they gave themselves a ticket for it… file this under some more corruption (small as this one may be) by those that “serve and protect”
