      a YEAR for a pipe???

      Well, we're allowing felons on juries and actively recruiting parolees and convicted felons to serve on police accountability boards, so ....

      a YEAR for a pipe???

      Possible, yes. They wouldn't even prosecute them around here.

      a YEAR for a pipe???

      He should discuss it, but he seems pretty determined not to enter into diversion. It's an argument I have heard a lot - more so since the passage of Prop 47 and AB 109. When one considers the psychology of the addict it becomes easier to understand the <cough> "logic" </cough> in their...

      a YEAR for a pipe???

      NOT the usual fields you find meth addicts getting into. And, honestly, most are more interested in tomorrow's fix than a future employment opportunity for some day if they get clean. This is one of the reasons why most of them do not seek to even try diversion. At least, before, they might...

      a YEAR for a pipe???

      Okay, I see that phrasing now. If also charged with H&S 11377(a) then he can be sentenced for up to a year - and that's consistent with what he was told. Typical diversion programs are 18 months, but these can vary by county and program - PC 1000, Prop 36, or Drug Court. The problem that the...

      a YEAR for a pipe???

      No, the pipe is not an offense punishable by a fine only. Assuming you were cited/arrested ONLY for H&S 11364, this is an offense punishable by a fine of up to $1,000 and/or up to 6 months in jail. Do you have any prior criminal offenses? Arrests? Convictions? It seems peculiar that if this...

      Who enforces the CA vehicle code

      The business license does not confer any special requirements upon the business, generally. It's possible that someone could complain to the city or county issuing such a license, but, I wouldn't expect an in-depth investigation of the complaints there. There are other regulations, licensing...

      Who enforces the CA vehicle code

      Under CA law they must be licensed. If they have an MOU/contract with the local law enforcement agency, that adds another level of supervision. Those contracts can be very lucrative so they tend to heed "input" from the authorizing agency or risk losing the contract.

      Who enforces the CA vehicle code

      Why was he towed? Was it for VC 22658 and on a covered property? Or, for some other reason? And, yes, I suspect the deputy did not want to be bothered. This is not a common sort of call and the average patrol deputy is not likely to understand that code section, much less have any experience...

      And, I think it was addressed repeatedly early on. It was the deviation into areas that were not entirely true that were being addressed. As if deviation is NOT a common occurrence here.

      Just correcting some of the misperceptions out there as they arise.

      Checks for most things, yes. Criminal offender records, NOT in California. We can check the local county databases (for those with access - which tends to be widely controlled and frequently updated at least in the counties around here) for contacts, arrests, bookings, and court actions if you...

      Who enforces the CA vehicle code

      Either the deputy did not understand the law that you tried to cite to him (VC 22658(k)(3)), was being intentionally obtuse, or you misinterpreted his reply. In the case of a misdemeanor, the deputy requires the act to either occur in his presence, or, that you make a private person's arrest...

      Cop searched my uhaul just cause my tag light was dim.

      I used the qualifier, "sometimes." In my neck of the woods they have one dispatch center for a huge swath of territory so running people can be time consuming, and doing so in the car on day shift (solo patrol cars) is not safe. But, it varies by officer and office. Though, tales over the...

      From your link, not so different at all. The link indicated NO criminal history records, which would be the norm.

      Cop searched my uhaul just cause my tag light was dim.

      Nope. In busier agencies, they sometimes don't check anything at all. CHP is notorious for this. When I was down south, we might check DMV status, and sometimes we'd check for warrants, but depending upon the stop and how busy things are, very often this won't happen. Something about being...

      Why is it "interesting"? One's criminal history rarely ever establishes probable cause for current incidents. Knowledge of one's past can - in some instances - be used to contribute to reasonable suspicion under the right circumstances. But, knowledge of said past criminal history usually...

      Cop searched my uhaul just cause my tag light was dim.

      Considering a criminal history is generally irrelevant to current offenses (aside from the aforementioned sort of offenses), it simply is. If they are smart enough, they already know that their criminal history is not relevant to a field contact unless it resulted in an arrest warrant or landed...

      Cop searched my uhaul just cause my tag light was dim.

      There are exceedingly few traffic stops that will justify a criminal history check in the field. *IF* I came across a firearm and wanted to determine whether there was a prior disqualifying conviction, then, maybe (and did not have probable cause for an arrest). Otherwise, I'm hard pressed to...

      Ditto here. And they DO audits! I was the Agency Terminal Coordinator for 13 years, and have been a NCIC/CLETS instructor for 17. The state and the feds can be a bit probing.
