      This could be you...

      Hardly BS! The poster FlyingRon responded to had contended that thousands more were killed from speed and texting than DUI - that's not true. Nationally, the stats for fatal collisions involving impaired drivers has held steady at about 30% for many years - the same with speed-related deaths...

      Entrapment for Enticement of a Minor

      All of which are almost certainly conducting targeted activities. I'm not going to get into the how and why of it, but, suffice it to say that law enforcement is not randomly trolling hookup sites in the hope of getting lucky (certainly not doing so regularly). The number of officers doing...

      Entrapment for Enticement of a Minor

      It sounds as if they ARE targeting their activity, not randomly trolling sites to fish for potential suspects. Fishing would be a bean counter's nightmare, and an administrator's downfall, since the cost-benefit would probably be tiny. Targeting enforcement actions with low manpower actions...

      Entrapment for Enticement of a Minor

      I've worked with these task forces. It's really not as big an operation as one might think; manpower and resources are quite limited, and there are pressures to pursue other crimes with a greater likelihood of having results. I'm not going to get into the details of how they might work, but...

      Entrapment for Enticement of a Minor

      And, quite frankly, the police do not spend a great deal of time playing in these chat room - the cost-benefit evaluation is rather low to go fishing like that. Most the underage posers are either private vigilantes, or, (most often) they are scam artists seeking to use comments, links, images...

      Overturning a suspension

      The communication does NOT have to be objectively threatening to violate the school's code of conduct. The hearing officer or panel will take into account the nature of the conduct and the message, the content, the frequency, and any other relevant factors. They tend to take harassing behavior...

      This could be you...

      I think you'd be cut a bit of slack by the police if you were using your phone to call in a possible DUI driver. And, if you DO call in a possible DUI driver, please, please, PLEEEZE, tell the call taker or dispatcher what actions the driver is taking that make you believe he or she might be...

      Overturning a suspension

      Public or private university?

      Overturning a suspension

      How old are you? I assume, based upon what you state here, that you are an adult (i.e. age 18 or older). Now, this is important, is this suspension from a high school? Or, from a college or university? Even more important, is the school a public school, or a private one? I am not certain...

      MDMA sales charge solicitation

      Not sure what state you're talking about, but you may also want to look at the criminal history of that person who got 2-9 years.

      MDMA sales charge solicitation

      Really?!?!? I'm guessing your experience with users, abusers, and the carnage wrought in their wake is what you see on the news. Lucky you! That's not true in a great many other places - both big and small communities. In most states we really have not had long, punitive sentences for a...

      MDMA sales charge solicitation

      If the harm done was limited solely to the user, I'd agree with you. But, it does not. The ramifications of use and abuse extend far, far beyond the user - and not solely in the form of the financial drain imposed upon the private and the public sectors.

      MDMA sales charge solicitation

      It's not the OFFICERS that created this environment, it's the politicians and mislead voters. When we opted to minimize the penalties in an ill-conceived effort to re-direct offenders into treatment, they similarly removed the incentive to enter into treatment (i.e. the tether). With drug...

      MDMA sales charge solicitation

      A good many of those "worse crimes" go hand-in-hand with dope, so ... But, narcotics units and task forces still exist. So long as they exist, officers assigned to them have to do their jobs - even if their efforts go unrewarded and unprosecuted. In many instances, it's a PR thing so that...

      MDMA sales charge solicitation

      Yep. With rare exceptions. Out here in CA officers are beginning to treat cocaine, heroin, meth, etc., as we once did marijuana ... ignore it, or, have the offender dump it out. It's a heckuva paradigm shift.

      MDMA sales charge solicitation

      If an arrest can be used to leverage intel, that's preferable. However, too many of the low level dealers and users have come to realize that penalties are minimal or non-existent and are more willing to ride out the penalty (if any) rather than risk the ire or displeasure of their suppliers.

      MDMA sales charge solicitation

      The police assigned to these units still have a job to do and they do it. Changes in state law and prosecutorial priorities have affected prosecutions. Many of these task forces are slowly disbanding due to funding and political pressure. There are a few counties that still try to pursue...

      MDMA sales charge solicitation

      Not all of the narcotics task forces have been dissolved. While the state agents have largely been removed (CA DOJ effectively disbanded their drug enforcement unit which directed these task forces), there are still federal funds available that continue to fund a few of these task forces, and...

      MDMA sales charge solicitation

      The good news is that in most counties this stands a good chance of being dropped to misdemeanor possession with probation ... unless of course there are significant priors or this occurred in one of the few counties where they actually still pursue felony drug sales offenses. Speak with an...

      CA laws

      Short answer is that under CA law if a private person observes you committing a public offense (which includes a traffic infraction) they CAN report it to the police and the matter CAN (potentially) be prosecuted. Whether it WILL be is another question.
