News and Media Reports

[QUOTE=RustyKuntz;2531997]I think the court ruling is spot on. The long arm of the law goes too far in some cases. I can see the reason why they would do so but as the report says, LEO "will still be able to make surprise inspections by getting a warrant". I had seen an old report where LEO simply looked at the guest list and recognized a name, which gave him reason to inspect, because he was sure he would find something illegal going on. LEO has many ways to get what they want, which I am all for as long as it doesn't infringe on people's rights. I am editing out any names for confidentiality reasons and to avoid violating forum guidelines.

STATE OF TENNESSEE, COUNTY OF DAVIDSON.

AFFIDAVIT.

UNLAWFUL POSSESSION OF A CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE.

T. see. A. 39-17-418.

Personally appeared before me, the undersigned, (Select one) _x__ Commissioner _ Metropolitan General Sessions Judge, the prosecutor named above and made oath in due form of law that (Select one) _x__ he _ she (Select one) _x__ personally observed _ has probable cause to believe that the defendant named above on 09/08/2009 in Davidson County, knowingly did possess or casually exchange a controlled substance and the controlled substance was not obtained directly from, or pursuant to, a valid prescription or order of a practitioner while acting in the course of professional practice, and that the probable cause is as follows: Officer xxxxx xxxx was checking the tenant list at the Xxxxx Inn located at # Murfreesboro Pk. Officer xxx found that a Ms xxxx who was staying in room # had numerous prior prostitution arrests. Officer xxxxx made a consensual contact with xxxx who was standing in the doorway with the door adjar of her room. Officer xxxxx asked xxxx if she had anything illegal and she stated she had a pipe in the air conditioner. Xxxx directed Officer xxxxx to the pipe's location and Officer xxxxx found a metal pipe that contained dark residue and chore-boy believed to be used to smoke crack cocaine. Xxxx gave Officer xxxx and Officer xxxxx consent to search the room. Officer xxxxx found a plastic bag in the night stand that contained several small white rocks that field tested positive for cocaine. Officer xxxxx also found some loose chore-boy behind the television. Xxxx didn't qualify for a citation.

ESignature.[/QUOTE]Sounds like an illegal search to me. First, they should not be looking at a guest register without a warrant; and though they are correct many times, just because someone is known to be a drug user, prostitute etc should not be probable cause to make contact. In that case all they would have to do is keep making contact with all known users and providers looking for something to bust them on. I can see them getting a warrant when they suspect x is in the act of illegal activity or they arrested x off premises and need to check their room, but not to search the register to see if they recognize someone. Sounds like a lawsuit against the Inn and metro is in order, but probably those involved don't have the means to do so.

[QUOTE=SashaWoodward;2530958]This makes me massively cranky. I don't rely on BP, but I don't think it's anyone's place to bully credit card companies into harming the women (and families) who rely on it.

But they do this a lot and have been doing it for a long time on Mboro. I would think that the records should be private but maybe not. The thing as well is the defendants allow the police to search and look around and they tell on themselves. Why did she even tell the officer she had a pipe in there.

Another trick officers use is "consensual contact ". When a officer says anything to you casually you don't have to answer or even respond and you can even walk away without saying anything. If you do it gives them consensual contact, which mean they can dig further. It is sad those officers don't have anything else to do.

The Fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution protects you from unreasonable government searches and seizures. The Ohio Constitution provides similar protections. Depending on the circumstances, those protections may apply when you are confronted by the police. The law generally recognizes three types of interactions with police officers: consensual encounters, investigative detentions, and arrests. The type of encounter you experience significantly impacts your rights and obligations, and in some cases, your criminal prosecution.

Q: What is a consensual encounter?

A: A consensual encounter occurs when a police officer approaches you and engages you in conversation, but you remain free not to answer and to walk away. The encounter remains consensual even if the officer asks you questions, or asks to examine your identification or your belongings, as long as the officer does not suggest that you must comply.

Q: Is a police officer allowed to ask me questions even if I'm not suspected of doing anything illegal?

A: The police do not need "reasonable suspicion" or "probable cause" to start a consensual encounter with a member of the public. A police officer may approach you and ask you questions at any time. However, during such a consensual encounter, you are always free to leave if you no longer wish to talk.

Q: How can I tell if I am having a consensual encounter?

A: When asked to decide if an encounter was consensual, courts will examine whether a reasonable person would have felt free to leave. Courts will consider all of the surrounding circumstances in making that determination. However, because each situation is unique, the line between a consensual encounter and an investigative detention is not always obvious. The situation will determine whether your Fourth Amendment rights are involved.

If you are approached by a police officer, are unsure of the reason, and do not wish to answer any questions, you may ask, "Am I free to leave?" Unless the officer believes he or she has at least "reasonable suspicion" to detain you further, the answer to your question should be "yes. " When in doubt about whether the encounter is consensual, you should ask, "Am I free to leave?" Walking away from a police encounter without giving an explanation, however, is not a good idea.

Q: What about my Fourth Amendment rights?

A: Your Fourth Amendment rights are not at issue if your encounter with police is consensual. However, if a police officer has, by physical force or show of authority, restrained your freedom such that a reasonable person would not feel free to decline the officer's requests or end the encounter, then the encounter is not consensual and the Fourth Amendment applies.

Q: What if the police take my driver's license?

A: A police request to see your identification does not necessarily turn a consensual encounter into an investigative detention, so long as you remain free to decline the request. Furthermore, Ohio courts have held that if a police officer takes and keeps your identification, you have been "seized" under the Fourth Amendment, and you are no longer involved in a consensual encounter.

Q: Must I reveal my personal information during a consensual encounter?

A: No. If an officer asks for your name, address, or date of birth, you are not required to provide it during a consensual encounter. However, if the police have "reasonable suspicion" that you are committing, have committed, or are a witness to a wide range of possible offenses, you may be found guilty of a separate criminal offense if you do not provide that information.

Because it is difficult to know whether an officer has the required "reasonable suspicion," you may want to provide your name, address, or date of birth if asked. However, you are not required to provide any other information. Also, if your age or date of birth is an element of an offense that you are suspected of having committed, such as underage drinking, you are not required to provide that information.

Q: Must the police read me my "Miranda rights" during a consensual encounter?

A: No. Police officers do not have to read you your "Miranda rights" during a consensual encounter. However, whether you are informed of your "Miranda rights" is not a reliable indicator of the type of interaction you are having with the police.

Q: Does this mean that I should not talk to the police?

A: No, but understanding the bounds of the government's authority when interacting with the police is always important. Finally, when in doubt about the situation, simply ask, "Am I free to leave?" The answer to that basic question will have an important impact on your rights.

Fellow mongers, pass the word to legit providers about the USA Adult Classifieds. Most likely BP will close down, but if it doesn't, it will become just like CL if you know what I mean.
