Some traffic lights were off line for a while due to a July 26, 2008 traffic accident in Harrisonburg, Virginia. A driver in a van struck a HEC substation and took it off line until repairs could be made. The television reported that the driver was operating under the influence. That, of course, is a rush to judgment since the person involved has not yet had a trial or an opportunity to defend himself. Whatever happened to innocent until proven guilty?

Four Virginia State Police officers have been struck on Virginia Interstate Highways in the last two months. Senior Trooper Jesse Dennis had stopped a vehicle for a traffic infraction on Interstate 64’s eastbound lane when his cruiser was rammed by a Chevrolet Equinox. The Chevy’s driver indicated that he had fallen asleep and has been charged with reckless driving. Fortunately, Trooper Dennis was not seriously injured.
I am sure that driver error plays a big part in these injuries; however, our Interstates are too crowded and that is the government’s fault – it puts us all in danger.

Choosing an attorney to represent you in a DUI case is a tough decision. You need to find a lawyer who knows the law, knows the Court you are in and knows the science. That’s right, the science. Most Virginia DUI cases are based on breath test results. The box the police use does NOT measure the ethanol (drinking alcohol) level in your blood; it does not know how much alcohol is in your blood. It takes a guess at the blood level based on a guess at the level in your breath. Even then, the box does not measure alcohol. The box measures the methyl group of molecules that are found in alcohol and a host of other compounds. It assumes that the methyl group must all be from alcohol.
You end up with a blood alcohol level based on a guess based on a guess grounded in an assumption that may not be true. That may be good enough for government work but it is not good enough for you. http://www.bobkeeferlaw.com/docs/How%20to%20choose%20a%20va%20dui%20lawyer.swf

This is a very funny video about something that is not very funny at all – the sorry way that insurance companies treat people.
It is not unusual for insurance companies to “change the rules” on their insureds or the persons hurt by their insureds. Remember you are just a number to an insurance company and not a very special number at that.

The Louisiana State Police caught one of government’s own recently in Natchitoches’ Community Development Director, Randall S. LaCaze. The City is waiting to see what happens in Court before discipling LaCaze. I am glad he is getting the benefit of the doubt; I just wish that ordinary citizens would be afforded that same luxury. LaCaze was driving a City vehicle when stopped, apparently for improper lane usage. He was charged with open container, DWI and improper lane usage. Now LaCaze can only drive the City’s vehicle while he is working.

The Virginia State Police claim that they are cracking down on aggressive driving with their new Operation Air, Land & Speed. This surge is similar to their late June crackdown where State Police officers handed out 8,000 tickets. It is hard to believe that they gave out 8,000 tickets for aggressive driving. Instead, they gave out the usual tickets for seatbelts, speeding, defective equipment and the like along with some aggressive driving citations.
Isn’t it possible the state really needs the revenue from the tickets and that is the real impetus for this operation? The state police note that deaths statewide are down by nearly 100 over 2007, so far so good; but, twelve motor vehicle deaths have occurred in Hampton roads this month. How many of those deaths resulted from overcrowded or poorly designed or maintained highways? It is after all the state that is in charge of keeping the highways adequate for traffic flow. How is it doing? Not so well.
Here is the video:

Judge Allen, 53, was stopped for failure to use a turn signal. Then the Judge backed into the Indiana Capitol Police car. The officer had Judge Felts perform a field test and then recorded that the Judge failed the test. Judge Felts was then arrested for DUI.
Upon being tested by the evidentiary breath alcohol tester, Judge Felts registered two invalid samples and was also charged with refusal. To add injury to injury, the police got a search warrant for his blood from a Marion County Judge. Judge Felts was subsequently subjected to having a blood sample withdrawn at the
Judge Felts was released about 11 hours after his arrest. Judge Felts was elected in 2002 and is presently running for re-election.

Tony LaRussa, St. Louis Cardinals’ manager was found sleeping in his car at a Jupiter Florida intersection in March of 2007 during spring training. LaRussa registered a .09 on the evidentiary breath tester at the police station. He did poorly on the field tests; however, that may have been due to physical issues and not intoxication from alcohol. One would expect to see little if any impairment at .09 blood alcohol. The press did not discuss whether LaRussa suffers from any impairments that might artificially inflate his breath test result such as diabetes or acid reflux. Acid reflux causes alcohol from the stomach to enter the mouth and inflate the alcohol reading on the machine. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cp-SEs6dxR8&feature=related LaRussa plead guilty in November of 2007, was put on 6 months probation, fined $687.50, complete DUI school and do 50 hours community service. It was interesting that law enforcement released LaRussa’s videotape. I am sure that was intended to be as a warning to motorists not to drink and drive. The system made an example of LaRussa for its purpose: prohibition under the guise of fighting DUI.LaRussa actually may not have been guilty; however, he made a decision that he would do better rolling over than fighting the system.http://www.bobkeeferlaw.com/dui-dui/fce/vids/Video009/

On July 8, 2008 a 15 year veteran Daytona Beach, Florida police officer was terminated from employment due to extortion of free coffee and tea from a local Starbucks. High ranking Lt. Major Garvin, had, according to Starbucks’ employees, since June, 2007, visited the coffeehouse as many as 6 times a night demanding fee coffee and tea.
Allegedly, Garvin promised slow emergency response times if he was not provided the free drinks. Starbucks also complained that to add insult to injury Garvin would not wait in line for his free drinks but would cut line in front of paying customers.
Can we trust police who will betray our trust for a cup of coffee?
