 Peoria, Illinois Mayor Jim Ardis reportedly ordered a police raid on the supposed home of a Twitter user who ran a parody twitter account which "impersonated" him.
From the Journal Star:
PEORIA — Police searched a West Bluff house Tuesday and seized phones and computers in an effort to unmask the author of a parody Twitter account that purported to be Mayor Jim Ardis.
The account — known as @Peoriamayor on the popular social media service that limits entries to 140 characters — already had been suspended for several weeks when up to seven plainclothes police officers executed a search warrant about 5:20 p.m. at 1220 N. University St.
Three people at the home were taken to the Peoria Police Department for questioning. Two other residents were picked up at their places of employment and taken to the station, as well.
One resident — 36-year-old Jacob L. Elliott — was booked into the Peoria County Jail on charges of possessing 30 to 500 grams of marijuana and possessing drug paraphernalia, but no arrests were made in connection with the Twitter account.
“They just asked me about the Twitter account, if I knew anything about it,” said Michelle Pratt, 27, a resident who was in the shower when officers first arrived at the front door. “They brought me in like I was a criminal.”
Pratt, who is Elliott’s girlfriend, said she spent more than three hours alone in an interview room before being questioned by detectives. One other resident, who declined to be identified, said he spent considerably less time in custody but was subject to the same type of questions.
“They said they had a search warrant and took all the electronic devices that had Internet access,” Pratt said. “They said there had been an Internet crime that occurred at this residence.”

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. -- Former Florida Atlantic University police officer Jimmy Dac Ho insisted he shot escort Sheri Carter in self-defense and never intended for her to die. But a Palm Beach County jury Thursday agreed with state prosecutors seeking a first-degree murder conviction.
A weeklong trial examined an explosive encounter that occurred after Ho, 50, entered Carter's Boynton Beach apartment on Jan. 31, 2011 expecting to pay $160 for sex.

A former Anchorage police officer was sentenced Friday for using police resources to share private information with a woman he’d arrested and then started seeing casually. Anchorage Superior Court Judge Michael Spaan said Mark Moeller’s actions were the result of “a boneheaded thought process” and ordered a mental evaluation as part of the defendant’s probation conditions.

Police cannot search a vehicle merely because it smells like spilled alcohol, the Kansas Supreme Court ruled. The justices last month reviewed the December 19, 2008 traffic stop of Robert G.

A video showing four officers piling onto a Toronto man in a cellblock assault — which had been kept secret — is now public.
When Justice Donna Hackett found four Toronto police officers “lied, exaggerated and colluded” to cover up the January 2012 assault against Curtis Young, she said two videos were crucial to sifting out the truth.
“If there had not been a video to contradict all of their notes, the consistency in their evidence could have been accepted at trial... (more) |

EXTON, PA — Police followed an innocent man into his home, believing that he was a fleeing suspect. When the man protested being handcuffed on his own floor with strangers searched his home, an officer cussed at him and stomped on his head, causing multiple facial fractures and shattered teeth. The scene was so gruesome that a cop testified against a fellow cop. Yet instead of being fired, that stomping officer was later promoted, and now has been officially cleared of violating the victim’s... (more) |

 Several years ago I read a piece in The New York Times by Adam Liptak about Ryan Holle. Ryan, who had no prior record, is serving a life sentence with no chance of parole in Florida. He was convicted of pre-meditated murder, even though no one, including the prosecutor, disputes that Ryan was asleep in his bed at home at the time of the crime. This could only happen in America, because we are the only country that retains the Felony Murder Rule. What the Felony Murder Rule essentially says is if... (more) |

Obesity Is a Sizable Problem for Police Officers

[Category: Tyranny/Police State]
 This month a study published in Industrial Health reaffirmed the assertion that obesity is a sizable problem for American police officers. However, contrary to the widely disseminated image of the lazing doughnut-loving policeman, obesity is now considered to be a multi-factorial occupational risk of being a law enforcement agent. Elevated levels of obesity in police officers not only pose a sizable problem for an individual officer’s health, but also to issues of law enforcement as a whole.
