I hear a lot about how their determinations are “...the final word on the matter” implying they have some supreme authority that is unchallengeable. When will these state agencies learn about the basic tenets of the US Constitution and basic case law? As far as the story it doesn’t surprise me they’re rescinding training. If the SPLC, a known shady organization holding a treasure trove of donations in offshore accounts, can manipulate them in this manner it says a lot about their motivation.Buddyhttp://fbi.govnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-18040559137138465032018-06-08T18:05:28.859-05:002018-06-08T18:05:28.859-05:00Details withheld to protect the incompetent: circa...Details withheld to protect the incompetent: circa 2000, a federal prison in Texas received a load of scrap from one of the large police departments within the DFW Metro area, to be dismantled and recycled. This included the usual old computers, televisions, fax machines, and other office equipment. Also included were some metal lockers. <br /><br />One of those lockers turned out to be an evidence locker, and inside it were drugs, knives, ammunition, and at least one gun. <br /><br />Good thing this was discovered at the minimum-security camp outside the fences.

This paper by California professors assert: <br /><br />Existing case law stipulates that probable cause requires less than 50% certainty in a suspect’s involvement in a crime. <br /><br />DUH ! That is NOT the definition of "probable". Not today and not in 1787 when it was established as the supreme Law of the Land. <br /><br /><br />Here is the definition from a dictionary published in 1828. Oldest online. <br /><br />Likely; having more evidence than the contrary, or evidence which inclines the mind to belief, but leaves some room for doubt.Kuatohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12334963659628542660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-38200991857122249262018-06-07T23:23:31.492-05:002018-06-07T23:23:31.492-05:00Poor Reyna, he can't even get his grand jurors...Poor Reyna, he can't even get his grand jurors to indict.
