If you're gonna be an idiot then I'll treat you like one


Eric Bostrom reveals his Reptilian side

Slicks in the rain sounds like a recipe for slashers...

Inside Scoop of Poop at final race of Barber - NASCRAPPER Danny Eslick proves he's no champ. I guess if you can't have double the displacement, you gotta take your competition out. Choke. Ignored black flag on the last lap...so why is he included in the press con?

RRX RACE REPORT: Barber AMA Pro Daytona SportBike Race 2 SPOILER ALERT



Post-race Pro Press Con

"Nice punt, you piece of shit!"

"Bring it on, pussy!"
-Danny Eslick


Post post-race quotes from Barber - “I’m not immature enough to let actions speak for me, but I wanted to give him some words. I’m not dumb enough to get in a fight or do anything stupid like that, but I wanted to let him know how I feel. Wanted to let him go to sleep at night knowing he lost the championship just because he wanted to fight with me.”

Remember what happened to Earnhart when he tried blocking for his teammate on the last lap of Daytona?

In the NASCRAP Superbike race, the prototype Buell almost kept up with the handicap stockers. Why do TV announcers keep calling it AMA Racin? Why do they keep saying it's the "best season" when there's no prize money, and half the manufacturers quit not only racin, but quit selling bikes or went bankrupt?

If NASCRAP were pro, it'd have free races on demand. One lap don't count.

What's with the idiot standing the middle of the track like a THP trooper on the Dragon? What's pro about that?

Makes you wonder how many gangbangers are in AMA Pro Racin. If its like every other category, including business and govt, then there's a lot...

Wiretap biker kicks cops assets in court



Trooper Herr Uhler vs SSgt Anthony Graber

The Dragonator salutes you, Sargent Graber. Expect a big civil lawsuit settlement for false arrest and malicious prosecution, billed to the taxslaves, with ACLU lawyers keeping 90% of the taxmoney.

Note how the news cartel censored the full-text of the court order, since We The Sheeple are too stoopid to comprehend it -- or it made cops and prosecutors look like commienazi idiots.



Charges dismissed against Md. man who taped traffic stop

Washington Post

A Harford County Circuit Court judge Monday dismissed wiretapping charges against Anthony Graber, a motorcyclist who was jailed briefly after he taped a Maryland state trooper who stopped him for speeding on I-95. Graber used a camera mounted on his helmet, then posted the video on YouTube.

In April, a few weeks after the traffic stop, Harford County state's attorney Joseph I. Cassilly charged Graber, a staff sergeant in the Maryland Air National Guard and a computer systems engineer, with violating the state's wiretapping law. That law dates back to the 1970s and was originally intended to protect citizens from government intrusions into their privacy. If convicted on all charges, Graber faced up to 16 years in prison.

Judge Emory A. Pitt Jr. had to decide whether police performing their duties have an expectation of privacy in public space. Pitt ruled that police can have no such expectation in their public, on-the-job communications.

Pitt wrote: "Those of us who are public officials and are entrusted with the power of the state are ultimately accountable to the public. When we exercise that power in public fora, we should not expect our actions to be shielded from public observation. 'Sed quis custodiet ipsos cutodes' ("Who watches the watchmen?”)."

Graber was also charged with possessing a “device primarily useful for the purpose of the surreptitious interception of oral communications" -- referring to the video camera on his helmet. The judge disagreed with the prosecutor that the helmet cam was illegal, and concluded the state's argument would render illegal “almost every cell phone, Blackberry, and every similar device, not to mention dictation equipment and other types of recording devices."

Pitt's decision is the first ruling in Maryland to address the legality of citizens taping police in the course of their duties. Because it is a circuit court ruling, it is not binding on other judges. However, unless it is appealed, said Graber's attorney, David Rocah of the ACLU of Maryland, "it is likely to be the last word" on the matter and to be regarded as precedent by police.

No word yet on whether the state's attorney will try to appeal the decision. Graber still faces traffic charges stemming from the incident.

Graber said he has since sold the motorcycle for $5,000, far less than the $10,500 he says he paid for it a year earlier. He said he still owed several thousand dollars on the bike but took the loss. "I don't want to ever have a motorcycle again," he said.

Segway Co owner kills self on Segway


Segway attempts assassination of the dictator of the free world

Segway company owner dies in fall

British businessman Jimi Heselden, who bought the company last year, dies in a fall off a cliff on his West Yorkshire estate, apparently while riding a Segway.

September 27, 2010
By Janet Stobart, Los Angeles Times

Reporting from London — A British businessman who last year bought the company that makes the Segway scooter fell to his death off a cliff in northern England, apparently while riding one of the vehicles on his estate.

West Yorkshire police said in a statement that the body of Jimi Heselden, 62, had been pulled Monday from the River Wharfe near the town of Boston Spa after a call from a passerby.

Local media reports said he was believed to have lost control of his scooter Sunday on a wooded path that runs close to a 30-foot drop to the river.

Heselden bought the New Hampshire-based Segway company in December. The former coal miner made his fortune after losing his job in the widespread mine closures of the mid-1980s. Using his expertise in coal-mining blast methods, he formed a company, Hesco Bastion, which manufactures protective barriers.

The barriers, known as "sand baskets," consist of wire frames with liners that are filled with dirt, sand or rocks. They are considered better than sandbags in protecting against explosions and have been widely adopted by militaries all over the world, including the U.S. military, since the 1991 Persian Gulf War.

Heselden, said to be worth $265 million, became well known in Yorkshire as a philanthropist who donated to local charities and more recently to a fund to help rehabilitate injured soldiers. Tributes from local and national figures praised him as a generous local hero who never forgot his roots.

British law restricts the use of Segway scooters to private land. The device, invented by Dean Kamen, can travel at a top speed of about 12 mph. In July, a rider was prosecuted for riding one on a sidewalk.

However, the Daily Telegraph reported that Segway sales, which had reached only half the target of 40,000 vehicles last year, had shown a 12% increase for the first six months of this year.

Stobart is a staff writer in The Times' London Bureau.

How to brainwash a cop to avoid traffic tickets



These aren't the droids you're looking for...



No wonder human cops are being replaced with traffic scameras.

The Dragonator using NLP at 110 mph:



The Dragonator is webmaster for AmericanAutobahn.com, as seen on History Channel at a LEGAL 212 mph on a public highway in commuter traffic, with better safety than 55 on the interstate.

According to US DOT and Ralph Nader, speeding is 6 times safer than driving a posted speed limit. Break the brainwashing if you want to live.

The Dragonator's family lawfirm teaches lawyers how to use NLP to brainwash juries and judges in court.

If that don't work, the Masonic Grand Hailing Sign of Distress controls judges, juries, lawyers and witnesses under penalty of death.

UPDATE 3 OCTOBER 2010: Georgia Bill for Constitutional right to travel without driver license

10 LC 34 2350
House Bill 875
By: Representative Franklin of the 43rd

A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT

To amend Title 40 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to motor vehicles and traffic, so as to repeal Chapter 5, relating to drivers' licenses; provide for a short title; to report the findings of the General Assembly regarding the constitutionality of certain laws relating to drivers' licenses; to provide for an effective date; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes.

BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:

SECTION 1.

This Act shall be known and may be cited as the "Right to Travel Act."

SECTION 2.

The General Assembly finds that:(1) Free people have a common law and constitutional right to travel on the roads and highways that are provided by their government for that purpose. Licensing of drivers cannot be required of free people because taking on the restrictions of a license requires the surrender of an inalienable right;(2) In England in 1215, the right to travel was enshrined in Article 42 of Magna Carta:It shall be lawful to any person, for the future, to go out of our kingdom, and to return, safely and securely, by land or by water, saving his allegiance to us, unless it be in time of war, for some short space, for the common good of the kingdom: excepting prisoners and outlaws, according to the laws of the land, and of the people of the nation at war against us, and Merchants who shall be treated as it is said above.(3) Where rights secured by the Constitution of the United States and the State of Georgia are involved, there can be no rule making or legislation that would abrogate these rights. The claim and exercise of a constitutional right cannot be converted into a crime. There can be no sanction or penalty imposed upon an individual because of this exercise of constitutional rights;(4) American citizens have the inalienable right to use the roads and highways unrestricted in any manner so long as they are not damaging or violating property or rights of others. The government, by requiring the people to obtain drivers' licenses, is restricting, and therefore violating, the people's common law and constitutional right to travel; (5) In Shapiro v Thompson, 394 U.S. 618 (1969), Justice Potter Stewart noted in a concurring opinion that the right to travel "is a right broadly assertable against private interference as well as governmental action. Like the right of association...it is a virtually unconditional personal right, guaranteed by the Constitution to us all." The Articles of Confederation had an explicit right to travel; and we hold that the right to travel is so fundamental that the Framers thought it was unnecessary to include it in the Constitution or the Bill of Rights;(6) The right to travel upon the public highways is not a mere privilege which may be permitted or prohibited at will but the common right which every citizen has under his or her right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Under this constitutional guarantee one may, therefore, under normal conditions, travel at his or her inclination along the public highways or in public places while conducting himself or herself in an orderly and decent manner; and(7) Thus, the legislature does not have the power to abrogate the citizens' right to travel upon the public roads by passing legislation forcing the citizen to waive the right and convert that right into a privilege.

SECTION 3.

Title 40 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to motor vehicles and traffic, is amended by repealing Chapter 5, relating to drivers' licenses, and designating said chapter as reserved.

SECTION 4.

This Act shall become effective upon its approval by the Governor or upon its becoming law without such approval.

SECTION 5.

All laws and parts of laws in conflict with this Act are repealed.

Dragonator Note: This new bill has been signed by Governor Bredeson and took effect on 1 July 2010, and is now listed in the 2011 edition of TN Code posted online by Michie.

The Super Speeder Tax Bill was defeated in the TN House, due to it being a re-election year, but the impotent Senate passed it anyway. So not a law...yet. Beware 2011 -- not a re-election year -- with a $500 tax added to all speeding tickets over 15 mph above the posted speed limit. Keep fighting this tax bill!

COP.
2. to steal; filch. 3. to buy (narcotics). 4. cop out, a. to avoid one's responsibility, the fulfillment of a promise, etc.; renege; back out. 5. cop a plea, a. to plead guilty or confess in return for receiving a lighter sentence. b. to plead guilty to a lesser charge; plea-bargain.
-Random House Unabridged Dictionary


All ticket quotas are illegal, according to cops and lawyers for the Fraternal Order of Police in Knoxville, where this bill's sponsor, Tim Burchett, was elected mayor in 2010.

Here is the text of the original bill sponsored by Rep Tim Burchett (R), but the punishment portion was ammended and removed, due to blackmail and extortion of legislators by THP and local cops. So-called "organized crime intelligence" spy divisions only spy on politicians, Hollywood superstars, pro athletes, news reporters, and occassionally criminal kingpins to extort protection rackets, according to Detective Mike Rothmiller's autobiography, LA Secret Police: Inside the LAPD Elite Spy Network.

So apparently there's no firing of a cop or commander busted for perping an illegal quota in Tennessee. However, any traffic ticket written by that cop or agency is thus null and void...

In 2009, THP confessed it has a 700-ticket-per-year quota for troopers to avoid firing, with 800 tickets per year required to get overtime bonus on the Dragon, that can pay traffic cops over $200,000 per year.

Tennessee Highway Patrol brags it increased tickets for bikers by 11,400% in Blount County on the Dragon...

Ex-officers seek to stop traffic grants

By Daniel Borunda
EL PASO TIMES
11/01/2011

Five former El Paso police officers have filed a request for an injunction against city officials, alleging police have an illegal quota system for traffic tickets.

The ex-officers claim they were forced to resign, but City Manager Joyce Wilson said the officers resigned when faced with termination linked to allegations of falsified time sheets.

The resignations come after an investigation began in late summer regarding the misappropriation of overtime linked to the Selective Traffic Enforcement Program, or STEP, grant. The investigation has since expanded beyond traffic grants.

A week ago, Lt. Alfred Lowe, head of the Crimes Against Persons Unit, was placed on administrative leave pending an investigation into overtime regarding a state grant paying for anti-gang operations.

The petition for an injunction was filed last week in the 34th District Court and seeks to stop the El Paso Police Department from using state traffic enforcement grants and alleges that a quota system is being used.

A hearing date is pending on the petition filed by ex-officers Luis Acosta, Ana Reza, Jorge Arellano, Michael Arzaga and Luis Alonzo Ortiz against Police Chief Greg Allen, Wilson and Mayor John Cook.

Each officer was with the department for more than 10 years until their resignations in late August and September. They are represented by lawyers Stuart Leeds and Theresa Caballero.

Leeds and Caballero provided the El Paso Times with a copy of an internal police email where a traffic sergeant complains to officers that not enough citations are being issued as part of a Click-It-or-Ticket seat-belt enforcement grant.

The May 26 email by Sgt. Jack Matthews of the Traffic Division stated "the performance standard set forth in the grant is a minimum of three seat-belt violations per hour of work per officer. If you think that you cannot meet this goal during your five-hour shift, then do not work the grant ... those that do not produce what is required will not be considered to work any traffic-related grants in the future."

Matthews was a past grant administrator, according to city documents, and retired Aug. 20, about the time the grants investigation was under way. Matthews has not been accused of wrongdoing.

Leeds said the email is proof that a quota system, though using a different name, is used by the Police Department in violation of state law.

"This proves this is all about money," Leeds said. "It is not about law enforcement and criminal justice. The people of El Paso are being hunted" for traffic citations.

Police and city officials denied the allegations. Police officials have said performance standards are not a quota system.

"These attorneys are representing their clients who resigned voluntarily in lieu of termination," Wilson said in a statement.

"The El Paso Police Department does not have a quota system and the issue at hand has nothing to do with quotas -- it has to do with falsifying time records. The lawsuit is without merit and our legal team is preparing a response."

Here We Go Again…. “Yes, We Have No Quotas”

by Lawrence Taylor attorney at law

I’ve mentioned in the past that police agencies across the country use DUI arrest quotas — and almost uniformly deny the practice. See, for example, DUI Quotas, "Yes, We Have No DUI Quotas" and "Inside Edition" Documents DUI Quotas Across U.S..

The latest example of this supposedly non-existent practice:

Drunk-Driving Quota Case May Lead to Similar Efforts Elsewhere

Baltimore, MD. Jan. 6 – Even as prosecutors weigh an appeal of a Howard County judge’s decision to throw out drunken-driving charges and rule that they were tied to illegal citation quotas, defense lawyers are considering whether the same defense might apply to past or current cases.

District Court Judge Sue-Ellen Hantman’s ruling in a case against an Ellicott City woman has raised questions on both sides — as well as eyebrows around the legal community…

Hantman said the charges against Katie Majorie Quackenbush, 22, were linked to an illegal quota — a ruling based on a memorandum that police have said was intended to describe the requirements of a federal grant that paid overtime for officers to target drunken and aggressive drivers through "saturation patrols."

"I find any evidence in this case to be inadmissible," she said, according to a recording of her Thursday ruling, and that ended the prosecution. Nevertheless, the judge indicated that "I don’t think saturation patrols are in and of themselves illegal, merely the quotas."…

The police chief said a memo to officers that called for two to four citations per hour contained, “in retrospect, not the best wording,” and conceded that he “could see how it could be misinterpreted.” He said the department does not use quotas and had revised the memo.

The memo also told the officers on the drunken-driving and aggressive-driving saturation patrols that they usually produce “at or above these amounts.”

The federal funds come from the National Traffic Safety Administration to the state, according to Buel Young, a spokesman for the state Motor Vehicle Administration. Jurisdictions can apply for them.
So the police chief insists that "the department does not use quotas"…and that the memo was just "perhaps not the best wording"? Hmmmm…..it’s hard to see how "it could be misinterpreted": the departmental order that cops have to produce "two to four citations per hour" sounds pretty clear to me.

Interesting that the federal grant appears to have required police agencies to use quotas….

Weenie roast at Deals Gap


Epic Fail: All-wheel-drive Evo sports car flies off perfectly good mountain

US129 at Deals Gap has 600-foot cliffs in that area. Thank God the giant trees BREAK your downfall. Then the fire-breathing Dragon strikes. Thanks for calling the Police State that never leaves.

Left-right curve at mile marker 8 past the Overlook going South to the state line. Camber reversal acts as a launching ramp. Cars with lowered suspesion without sufficient droop travel are especially vulnerable in this curve, which requires almost off-road Baja setup.

Same curve where a deputy threatened to arrest the Dragonator for videotaping a Miata crash "crime scene". Also where the Dragonator documented an R1 rider's $120,000 crash -- he will never ride again.

St. Joseph police officer dies because of weapon errors

Kansascity.com

St. Joseph MO Sept 23 2010 A St. Joseph policeman killed last week had asked another officer to shoot him with a plastic training round so he would know how it felt, the department said.

But the other officer didn’t realize he was using a real gun with live ammunition, according to a department statement released Wednesday.

Officer Dan De Kraai died at a hospital shortly after being shot in the back. St. Joseph police expect to forward a report about the shooting to Buchanan County prosecutors within a week for review.

“Clearly, this accident should not have happened, and the application of safety rules was not sufficient to prevent an otherwise very preventable tragedy,” the police statement said.

The incident happened Sept. 15 while De Kraai and Officer Jason Strong were on break during a training session. Instead of live ammunition, police said, officers used a training round called Simunition, a type of plastic projectile.

But when the two men went to a convenience store to get a drink during their break, they took their regular weapons with them, the department said.

The shooting happened upon their return, outside the unoccupied school where the police had been training.

Typically, instructors or safety officers check each officer before letting him or her into the training area, making sure they haven’t accidentally brought in real weapons or ammunition.

Other agencies in the Kansas City area said they follow this type of protocol, too.

The St. Joseph shooting occurred before the men resumed training, police said, so they hadn’t been checked again.

“Officer Strong failed to realize he had not transitioned back to a Simunitions-modified weapon,” the police statement said.

It isn’t clear how common deaths like this are. The Officer Down Memorial Page, a website that tracks the line-of-duty deaths of law-enforcement officers nationwide, lists De Kraai’s death as one of only two caused by accidental gunfire in 2010.

There are only a few such cases each year, and they don’t necessarily happen during training.

De Kraai, who was hired by the St. Joseph department in 2006, was married and had a young daughter. He served on the department’s special-response team and was an evidence technician and a field training officer. His memorial service was last weekend.

Strong, who also serves on the special response team and received the Medal of Valor earlier this year, is still on administrative leave. The department is conducting an internal affairs investigation of the matter.

It’s not clear when that report will be completed, but the department said it will be a large undertaking.

St. Joseph police described the Simunition projectile as “painful,” but not lethal. Regular weapons can fire Simunition cartridges, but only after a modification that prevents them from firing real ammunition.

De Kraai had asked to be shot with a Simunition round so he could experience it before he got hit during training, the police statement said. That training was designed to prepare officers for dealing with hostage situations or school shootings.

Some departments, including the Johnson County Sheriff’s Office and Kansas City police, use training weapons that are painted bright colors, as another way to prevent mix-ups.

It isn’t clear whether St. Joseph uses gear like that. A police spokesman could not be reached to elaborate on Wednesday’s statement.

Kansas City police currently use a type of airsoft gun with orange markings for the department’s training simulations, said Capt. Rich Lockhart. Several years ago, the department used real weapons with fake ammunition, but stopped after a sergeant was shot in the hand during training.




If prosecutors and courts give this cop no punishment in prison, then it's open season on cops, as required by Equal Protection doctrine in the US Constitution and States constitutions. After all, prosecutors and judges said its OK for cops to shoot anybody they want, even innocent drivers:



Florida Trooper Fires Nine Rounds in Retirement Center Area After His Car Is Innocently Bumped — But Is Given Only One Week Suspension

A Florida Highway Patrol trooper was given only a one-week suspension without pay after he fired nine rounds at a vehicle that bumped his cruiser. In the incident caught on this videotape, Trooper Timothy E. Nichols was responding to a call about a man suspected of stealing two bacon, egg and cheese sandwiches from a Palm Harbor gas station. However, an investigation showed that (as indicated on the video) the driver was innocently backing up his SUV when the bumping of the cruiser occurred — triggering Nichols’ shower of bullets.

Agency director John T. Czernis ruled that the force was obviously excessive, but only saw fit to suspend the officer.

When Nichols caught up with Magdi Kanaan, 22, in a parking area and Kanaan put his SUV in reverse, bumping Nichols’ cruiser. Nichols is heard screaming, “He just backed into my car.” He then fired nine rounds at the SUV in the retirement center area.

Highway Patrol internal affairs investigators determined Kanaan was simply trying to park. Czernis wrote ‘[y]our recollection of the events contradicts the evidence on the videotape from your patrol car.”

Nichols later admitted that events may not have occurred as he initially recollected.

Since Nichols started work with the department on Sept. 10, 2001, he has been orally reprimanded, counseled or cited at least eight times according to press reports — including two incidents of crashing into cars of citizens.

The question remains why there is not a more substantial punishment for an officer who (the internal affairs report) fires his weapon in a retirement center after a man innocently bumps his car.

Sparkies: The agony of defeat


Countersteering increases lean angle...


What's the debrief say?





















It's not nice to try to kill your photographer. Funny how you don't get photos this good at MotoGP.

Good to wear full safety gear, good to drag a knee on a bike with plenty of ground clearance, not so good to not hang off enough then chicken out and chop the throttle reducing ground clearance to zero. Too bad the cable isn't an air bag, or THP lie detector, er, radar detector.

Apparently he's a soldier employed by the United States federal government in the Neverending 20-Year-Old Iraq War, that's genocided 2.7-million innocent Iraqis, genocided 70,000 not-so-innocent US troops, and disabled 700,000 US troops, based on lies by the Bushobama White House claiming Weapons of Mass Destruction Made In USA For Iraq, and the British/NATO/Pentagon/Israeli Operation Northwoods false-flag attack on USA on 9/11/2001 to blame innocent Arab Semite patsies, as a diversion for the Babylonian jewish Khazar banksters to steal $30-trillion from an impotent Congress.

Now go back to following illegal orders from an illegal alien to kill babies and lose an undeclared war for Uncle Scam, to bankrupt USA, then return with PTSD and be a traffic cop suing 1,000 frivolous traffic tickets per year for an illegal quota, or get your legs blown off or killed for the Jew World Odor Commiefascist dictatorship that is going to kill you one way or another.

Thanks for giving the traitorous Police State another excuse to overthrow the US Constitution at Deals Gap.

Bankrupt county cuts sheriff dept to 1 patrol car



Third World Amerika

In February, the board of commissioners of Ohio’s Ashtabula County faced a scene familiar to local governments across America: a budget shortfall. They began to cut spending and reduced the sheriff’s budget by 20 per cent. A law enforcement agency staff that only a few years ago numbered 112, and had subsequently been pared down to 70, was cut again to 49 people and just one squad car for a county of 1,900 sq. km along the shore of Lake Erie.

The sheriff’s department adapted.

“We have no patrol units. There is no one on the streets. We respond to only crimes in progress. We don’t respond to property crimes,” deputy sheriff Ron Fenton told Maclean’s.

The county once had a “very proactive” detective division in narcotics. Now, there is no detective division.

“We are down to one evidence officer and he just runs the evidence room in case someone wants to claim property,” said Fenton.

“People are getting property stolen, their houses broken into, and there is no one investigating. We are basically just writing up a report for the insurance company.”




...which would be an improvement in Blount County.

Public reading of U.S. Constitution planned

By Frank “Buzz” Trexler
of The Daily Times Staff
September 16. 2010

MARYVILLE, Tenn. -- “We the People of the United States ...”

Those are familiar words, but some people might not be able to place their context.

Not Barry Walker. In fact, the words ring so soundly that the Maryville resident and a handful of others will be gathering at 10 a.m. Saturday in front of Maryville Municipal Building, 400 W. Broadway Ave., to read the entire U.S. Constitution. It's part of a national event, “We Read the Constitution,” a project of Constituting America and Let Freedom Ring. On Saturday, all across the nation people will be reading the U.S. Constitution at various venues.

“Somebody sent me an e-mail, directed me to the website and I checked to see if one was in Maryville and there wasn't. I got a permit this morning,” Walker told The Daily Times on Tuesday. “I don't know if we had to, but we did it as a precaution and courtesy.”

According to WeReadTheConstitution.com, Maryville will join venues ranging from Seattle, to Temecula, Calif., to Miami, to Oakland.
Not sure how the other venues are treating this day, but Walker is looking to make it a full-blown patriotic event.

“We're going to read in round-robin fashion and then pause every five minutes for a patriotic song,” Walker said. “The public is encouraged to bring flags and a copy of the Constitution.”

Seems like a fife-and-bugle corps would also be a nice touch.

ELIZABETHTON, Tenn. - Records show new East TN constable Barney Brown a felon - The Johnson City Press reports Mathes discovered Brown was convicted of a felony in Washington, D.C., in 1961 on burglary and theft charges.

Why not? THP sold fake ID "Driver Certificates" to 400,000 illegal aliens marked "NOT VALID FOR IDENTIFICATION", then rolls out the red carpet for the illegal alien running the White House. And former Knoxville mayor Victor "Victoria" Ashe was allegedly arrested for soliciting men in public restrooms in DC and Atlanta as a state rep wearing a dress, after being George W Bush's college roommate, fellow cheerleader and gay lover at all-male Yale Skull & Bones. Ashe graduated to running torture death camps for CIA as US ambassador to Poland.

Under TN Rules of Evidence, it is not admissible evidence to question this cop under oath regarding his criminal convictions.




Tennessee Rules of Evidence

Rule 404. Character evidence not admissible to prove conduct; exceptions; other crimes. —(a) Character Evidence Generally.-Evidence of a person's character or trait of character is not admissible for the purpose of proving action in conformity therewith on a particular occasion, except:

(1) Character of Accused.-In a criminal case, evidence of a pertinent trait of character offered by an accused or by the prosecution to rebut the same or, if evidence of a trait of character of the alleged victim of the crime is offered by the accused and admitted under Rule 404(a)(2), evidence of the same trait of character of the accused offered by the prosecution;

(2) Character of Alleged Victim.-In a criminal case, and subject to the limitations imposed by Rule 412, evidence of a pertinent trait of character of the alleged victim of the crime offered by an accused or by the prosecution to rebut the same, or evidence of a character trait of peacefulness of the alleged victim offered by the prosecution in a homicide case to rebut evidence that the alleged victim was the first aggressor;

(3) Character of Witness.-Evidence of the character of a witness as provided in Rules 607,608, and 609.

(b) Other Crimes, Wrongs, or Acts.–Evidence of other crimes, wrongs, or acts is not admissible to prove the character of a person in order to show action in conformity with the character trait. It may, however, be admissible for other purposes. The conditions which must be satisfied before allowing such evidence are:

(1) The court upon request must hold a hearing outside the jury’s presence;

(2) The court must determine that a material issue exists other than conduct conforming with a character trait and must upon request state on the record the material issue, the ruling, and the reasons for admitting the evidence;

(3) The court must find proof of the other crime, wrong, or act to be clear and convincing; and

(4) The court must exclude the evidence if its probative value is outweighed by the danger of unfair prejudice. [As amended by order filed January 31, 2003, effective July 1, 2003.]

Advisory Commission Comments. Part (a) has always been the law in Tennessee for criminal prosecutions.

T.C.A. § 40-17-119 [repealed; see 1991 comments] regulates character evidence offered to prove a rape victim's alleged consent.

In civil actions, Tennessee is one of a minority of jurisdictions admitting character evidence in some situations to prove circumstantially conduct involving "moral turpitude." Spears & Solomon v. International Insurance Co., 60 Tenn. 370 (1872). The proposed rule would change that minority position; character would be inadmissible circumstantially in all civil cases. Of course, if character is directly at issue in a civil action, such as in a defamation action, character evidence necessarily is relevant and admissible under Rule 405(b).

The Commission drafted Part (b) in accord with the Supreme Court's pronouncements in State v. Parton, 694 S.W.2d 299 (Tenn. 1985). There the Court established precise procedures to emphasize that evidence of other crimes should usually be excluded. In the exceptional case where another crime is arguably relevant to an issue other than the accused's character —issues such as identity (including motive and common scheme or plan), intent, or rebuttal of accident or mistake —the trial judge must first excuse the jury. Then the judge must decide what material issue other than character forms a proper basis for relevancy. If the objecting party requests, the trial judge must state on the record the issue, the ruling, and the reason for ruling the evidence admissible. Finally, the judge must always weigh in the balance probative value and unfair prejudice. If the danger of unfair prejudice outweighs the probative value, the court should exclude the evidence even though it bears on a material issue aside from character. Finally, according to Parton, the trial judge must find that the evidence is "clear and convincing"that the defendant committed another crime.

Advisory Commission Comments [1991]. [In place of the second paragraph of earlier language, which is rescinded, insert the following language as the new second paragraph:]

The character of the victim of a sex crime is not governed by Rule 404(a)(2), but rather by T.R.Evid. 412.

Advisory Commission Comment [2003]. The third condition for admitting other crimes, clear and convincing proof, has been required by case law before and after adoption of the Rules of Evidence. This principle was first enunciated in Wrather v. State, 179 Tenn. 666 (1943), reversing a mother’s conviction for murdering her adult son by arsenic poisoning. Evidence that she killed her father-in-law and brother-in-law with arsenic was not clear and convincing. The Supreme Court again approved this standard in State v. Parton, 694 S.W.2d 299 (1985).

Advisory Commission Comment [2005]. The word “person” in Rule 404(b) has been construed to refer solely to the defendant in a criminal prosecution. State v. Stevens, 78 S.W.3d 817 (Tenn. 2002).

Advisory Commission Comment [2009]. If the accused attacks the character of the alleged victim, amended Rule 404(a)(1) allows the prosecution to prove the accused's character for the same trait. This is an additional way the accused"opens the door" to character evidence.

Rule 405. Methods of proving character. —(a) Reputation or Opinion. —In all cases in which evidence of character or a trait of character of a person is admissible, proof may be made by testimony as to reputation or by testimony in the form of an opinion. After application to the court, inquiry on cross-examination is allowable into relevant specific instances of conduct. The conditions which must be satisfied before allowing inquiry on cross-examination about specific instances of conduct are:

(1) The court upon request must hold a hearing outside the jury's presence,

(2) The court must determine that a reasonable factual basis exists for the inquiry, and

(3) The court must determine that the probative value of a specific instance of conduct on the character witness's credibility outweighs its prejudicial effect on substantive issues.

(b) Specific Instances of Conduct. —In cases in which character or a trait of character of a person is an essential element of a charge, claim, or defense, proof may also be made of specific instances of that person's conduct.

Advisory Commission Comments. This proposed rule changes Tennessee law, which does not permit character to be proved by personal opinion.

Cross-examination of character witnesses for the accused raises a delicate problem. The examining lawyer can ask the witness about rumored arrests and charges concerning the defendant, because the witness's knowledge of the rumors might impeach the witness in the eyes of the jurors. If the witness admits having heard unfavorable rumors, the jury may decide that the witness's reputation or opinion testimony is entitled to little weight. If the witness has not heard the rumors, the witness's testimony may likewise be taken with a grain of salt because the witness is unfamiliar with the accused or the accused's community.

The indirect effect of such a cross-examination may be the more damaging to the accused. While the jury will be instructed to consider the rumors only as affecting the character witness's credibility, the practical danger is that such rumors —even if untrue —place the defendant's character in a bad light with the jurors. In an effort to alleviate the problem, the proposed rule sets out detailed procedural safeguards. The cross-examiner must apply to the court for permission to inquire into specific instances of conduct, the jury must be excused, and the court must determine both that a factual basis exists and that probative value for impeachment outweighs prejudicial effect on the accused's character.

Part (b) allows substantive proof of specific acts where the character is an element of a cause of action or a defense. For instance, the defendant who called a defamed plaintiff a "crook"can prove the plaintiff embezzled funds.

Rule 406. Habit; routine practice. —(a) Evidence of the habit of a person, an animal, or of the routine practice of an organization, whether corroborated or not and regardless of the presence of eye-witnesses, is relevant to prove that the conduct of the person, animal, or organization on a particular occasion was in conformity with the habit or routine practice.

(b) A habit is a regular response to a repeated specific situation. A routine practice is a regular course of conduct of an organization.

Advisory Commission Comments. Tennessee has long admitted animal habit. Copley v. State, 153 Tenn. 189, 281 S.W. 460 (1925), is the leading case. Authorities supporting admissibility of human habit and business custom are collected in Tennessee Law of Evidence § 30.

The second paragraph defines habit and routine practice, emphasizing the need for a "regular response"when a person, animal, or organization is faced with a given situation.

Rule 607. Who may impeach? —The credibility of a witness may be attacked by any party, including the party calling the witness.

Advisory Commission Comments. The rule would abolish Tennessee's common law prohibition against impeaching one's own witness —the voucher rule. The present rule finds expression in King v. State, 187 Tenn. 431, 215 S.W.2d 813 (1948); Record v. Chickasaw Cooperage Co., 108 Tenn. 657, 69 S.W. 334 (1902).

The Commission believed that requiring a lawyer calling a witness to vouch for the witness's credibility too often unfairly restricts proof. Obviously there is no choice over who witnesses facts. In some instances, rigid enforcement of the voucher rule has caused Constitutional error. See Chambers v. Mississippi, 410 U.S. 284, 93 S. Ct. 1038, 35 L. Ed. 2d 297 (1973).

See Rule 611 for the mode and order of interrogation.

Advisory Commission Comments [2000]. Decisional law prohibits a lawyer from calling a witness —knowing the testimony will be adverse to the lawyer's position —solely to impeach that witness by an inconsistent statement. See the June 1999 issue of the Tennessee Bar Journal at page 23 and Cohen et alia, Tennessee Law of Evidence (3d ed.) at § 613.1.

Rule 608. Evidence of character and conduct of witness. —(a) Opinion and Reputation Evidence of Character. —The credibility of a witness may be attacked or supported by evidence in the form of opinion or reputation, but subject to these limitations: (1) the evidence may refer only to character for truthfulness or untruthfulness, and (2) the evidence of truthful character is admissible only after the character of the witness for truthfulness has been attacked.

(b) Specific Instances of Conduct. —Specific instances of conduct of a witness for the purpose of attacking or supporting the witness's character for truthfulness, other than convictions of crime as provided in Rule 609, may not be proved by extrinsic evidence. They may, however, if probative of truthfulness or untruthfulness and under the following conditions, be inquired into on cross-examination of the witness concerning the witness's character for truthfulness or untruthfulness or concerning the character for truthfulness or untruthfulness of another witness as to which the character witness being cross-examined has testified. The conditions which must be satisfied before allowing inquiry on cross-examination about such conduct probative solely of truthfulness or untruthfulness are:

(1) The court upon request must hold a hearing outside the jury's presence and must determine that the alleged conduct has probative value and that a reasonable factual basis exists for the inquiry;

(2) The conduct must have occurred no more than ten years before commencement of the action or prosecution, but evidence of a specific instance of conduct not qualifying under this paragraph (2) is admissible if the proponent gives to the adverse party sufficient advance notice of intent to use such evidence to provide the adverse party with a fair opportunity to contest the use of such evidence and the court determines in the interests of justice that the probative value of that evidence, supported by specific facts and circumstances, substantially outweighs its prejudicial effect; and

(3) If the witness to be impeached is the accused in a criminal prosecution, the State must give the accused reasonable written notice of the impeaching conduct before trial, and the court upon request must determine that the conduct's probative value on credibility outweighs its unfair prejudicial effect on the substantive issues. The court may rule on the admissibility of such proof prior to the trial but in any event shall rule prior to the testimony of the accused. If the court makes a final determination that such proof is admissible for impeachment purposes, the accused need not actually testify at the trial to later challenge the propriety of the determination.

The giving of testimony, whether by an accused or by any other witness, does not operate as a waiver of the witness's privilege against self-incrimination when examined with respect to matters which relate only to character for truthfulness.

(c) Juvenile Conduct. —Evidence of specific instances of conduct of a witness committed while the witness was a juvenile is generally not admissible under this rule. The court may, however, allow evidence of such conduct of a witness other than the accused in a criminal case if the conduct would be admissible to attack the credibility of an adult and the court is satisfied that admission in evidence is necessary for a fair determination in a civil action or criminal proceeding. [As amended by order entered January 25, 1991, effective July 1, 199, and by order filed January 6, 2005, effective July 1, 2005.]

Advisory Commission Comments. Part (a) admits opinion as well as community reputation to prove character. Presently Tennessee restricts proof to reputation evidence. Ford v. Ford, 26 Tenn. 91, 100-01 (1846). The proposed change is minimal, however, because Tennessee has allowed a character witness on the credibility issue to opine that the fact witness should or should not be believed. Ford v. Ford, 26 Tenn. 92, 102 (1846).

Part (b) reflects the Supreme Court's view of impeachment by prior bad acts. State v. Morgan, 541 S.W.2d 385 (Tenn. 1976), incorporated F.R.Evid. 608(b) into Tennessee case law. The proposed rule is even more specific than the federal version. It requires a jury-out hearing on probative value and basis for cross-examination, relatively recent misconduct, and notice plus analytical weighing of probative value versus unfair prejudice.

To the extent that State v. Caruthers, 676 S.W.2d 936 (Tenn. 1984), can be construed as allowing cross-examination about a prior act of rape to impeach, the proposal would change that result.

If the witness makes a sweeping claim of good conduct on direct examination, that claim may open the door to cross-examination without pretrial notice and with a lower standard of probativeness, as rebuttal of the broad claim would itself tend to show untruthfulness. Also, there may be instances where the prosecution would not discover the accused's bad acts until after the trial begins, making pretrial notice impossible; in such cases immediate notice and a hearing on the issue before the accused testifies should satisfy the spirit of the rule.

Note that the accused's failure to take the stand in face of an adverse ruling on admissibility of a prior bad act does not waive the right to assign error on appeal.

Part (c) conforms juvenile bad acts admissibility to the principles used with juvenile adjudications. See Rule 609(d).

Advisory Commission Comments [1991]. This is a technical amendment.

Advisory Commission Comments [2005]. Substituting “character for truthfulness” in place of “credibility” at the beginning and end of Rule 608(b) clarifies that contradiction impeachment by extrinsic evidence is permissible.

Rule 609. Impeachment by evidence of conviction of crime. —(a) General Rule. —For the purpose of attacking the credibility of a witness, evidence that the witness has been convicted of a crime may be admitted if the following procedures and conditions are satisfied:

(1) The witness must be asked about the conviction on cross-examination. If the witness denies having been convicted, the conviction may be established by public record. If the witness denies being the person named in the public record, identity may be established by other evidence.

(2) The crime must be punishable by death or imprisonment in excess of one year under the law under which the witness was convicted or, if not so punishable, the crime must have involved dishonesty or false statement.

(3) If the witness to be impeached is the accused in a criminal prosecution, the State must give the accused reasonable written notice of the impeaching conviction before trial, and the court upon request must determine that the conviction's probative value on credibility outweighs its unfair prejudicial effect on the substantive issues. The court may rule on the admissibility of such proof prior to the trial but in any event shall rule prior to the testimony of the accused. If the court makes a final determination that such proof is admissible for impeachment purposes, the accused need not actually testify at the trial to later challenge the propriety of the determination.

(b) Time Limit. —Evidence of a conviction under this rule is not admissible if a period of more than ten years has elapsed between the date of release from confinement and commencement of the action or prosecution; if the witness was not confined, the ten-year period is measured from the date of conviction rather than release. Evidence of a conviction not qualifying under the preceding sentence is admissible if the proponent gives to the adverse party sufficient advance notice of intent to use such evidence to provide the adverse party with a fair opportunity to contest the use of such evidence and the court determines in the interests of justice that the probative value of the conviction, supported by specific facts and circumstances, substantially outweighs its prejudicial effect.

(c) Effect of Pardon. —Evidence of a conviction is not admissible under this rule if (1) the conviction has been the subject of a pardon based on a finding of the rehabilitation of the person convicted and that person has not been convicted of a subsequent crime which was punishable by death or imprisonment in excess of one year, or (2) the conviction has been the subject of a pardon based on a finding of innocence.

(d) Juvenile Adjudications. —Evidence of juvenile adjudications is generally not admissible under this rule. The court may, however, allow evidence of a juvenile adjudication of a witness other than the accused in a criminal case if conviction of the offense would be admissible to attack the credibility of an adult and the court is satisfied that admission in evidence is necessary for a fair determination in a civil action or criminal proceeding.

(e) Pendency of Appeal. —The pendency of an appeal of a conviction does not render evidence of that conviction inadmissible. Evidence of the pendency of an appeal is admissible.

Advisory Commission Comments 2001. The Tennessee Supreme Court suggested in State v. Galmore, 994 S.W.2d 120 (1999), and State v. Taylor, 993 S.W.2d 33 (1999), that the accused in a criminal trial may need to make a jury-out offer of proof in order to reverse the trial court for an erroneous ruling that a conviction is admissible to impeach. Such error might otherwise be harmless.

Advisory Commission Comments. The Supreme Court adopted F.R.Evid. 609(a) & (b) in State v. Morgan, 541 S.W.2d 385 (Tenn. 1976), and thereby rejected the old "moral turpitude"criterion for admissibility of convictions to impeach. Proposed Tennessee Rule 609(a) takes Morgan at face value and lists its essential elements:

(1) The time of proof ordinarily is during cross-examination, but the witness's denial triggers extrinsic evidence. This rule does not preclude questions about prior convictions during direct examination.

(2) Only felony convictions or those misdemeanor convictions involving dishonesty are competent for impeachment. See State v. Butler, 626 S.W.2d 6 (Tenn. 1981), for the Supreme Court's view that theft crimes involve dishonesty. The rule is consistent with Butler.

(3) When the witness in a criminal trial is the accused, the prosecution "must"give pretrial notice and the trial judge "must"make a determination before the accused elects to testify or not that the probative value of the conviction "on credibility"is greater than its "unfair prejudicial effect on the substantive issues."To the extent that State v. Sheffield, 676 S.W.2d 542 (Tenn. 1984), is inconsistent, the proposal would change the result.

Note that the accused who does not take the witness stand because of an unfavorable ruling on admissibility of a prior conviction can nonetheless raise error on appeal.

For witnesses not covered by 609(a)(3), the balancing test is different. Rule 403 applies, and a conviction would be admissible to impeach unless "its probative value is substantially outweighed by the danger of unfair prejudice"or other criteria listed in that rule.

Part (b) of proposed Rule 609 restates and hopefully clarifies Morgan language concerning inadmissibility of stale convictions. To avoid the mistaken exclusion of convictions "ten years old,"the rule separates convictions with time served from those where the convict served no prison time. Normally, ten years would be measured from release from jail to commencement of prosecution.

Even old convictions can be used in certain instances, but the proposed rule requires a weighing ("substantially outweighs") of probative value versus undue prejudicial effect, with a specific factual determination by the trial judge.

Part (c) excludes only those convictions of witnesses pardoned because of rehabilitation or innocence.

Part (d) follows the current philosophy expressed in T.C.A. § 37-1-133(b) and State v. Butler, 626 S.W.2d 6 (Tenn. 1981). Constitutional confrontation issues may require admitting the juvenile record of a witness testifying against the criminal accused. See Davis v. Alaska, 415 U.S. 308 (1974).

Part (e) permits impeachment by a conviction undergoing appeal because, under Tennessee law, the convict is presumed guilty after judgment.
