Miranda Rights Warning Could Get Rewrite
the Associated Press Share    
The Supreme Court on Dec. 7
seemed headed toward telling police they must explicitly advise criminal suspects that their lawyer can be present during any interrogation.
The arguments in front of the justices were the latest over how explicit the Miranda warning rights have to be, as justices debated whether the warnings police gave Kevin Dwayne Powell made clear to him that he could have a lawyer present while being interrogated by police. More
Record Year By Far
for Marijuana Busts Along Arizona Border
The Arizona Daily Star
Share
Whether in big or small packages, or at or between ports of entry, marijuana seizures continue to become a more frequent occurrence along Arizona's stretch of U.S.-Mexico border -- the busiest on the Southwest border for such
seizures. The 1.6 million pounds seized by Arizona law enforcement in 6,939 incidents in the recently completed fiscal year 2009 shattered all previous records, nearly doubling the 2005 fiscal year total, show figures from the Arizona High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area, or HIDTA.

Police Chiefs Turning in Badges
USA Today
Share
When Atlanta Police Chief Richard Pennington announced he would resign at the end of the year, his decision wasn't entirely a surprise.
Both candidates for mayor in this week's runoff election had vowed to overhaul the police department,
saying high profile crimes in the city jeopardized public safety.
Pennington's departure, announced last week after seven years at the helm, has significance beyond Atlanta's borders: It is the latest in an exodus of at least half a dozen big city police chiefs this year.
Some of the nation's best known local law enforcement figures have announced their retirements and resignations in Atlanta, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Miami, Dallas and Seattle. Their exits signal that an important era in
U.S. policing is nearing an end, some analysts say.

the San Francisco Chronicle
Share
A backlog of disciplinary cases is forcing San Francisco Police Chief George Gascón to play "Let's Make a Deal" with errant cops -- offering passes for offenses that under ordinary circumstances could get them fired. The chief figures he has to do something, having inherited a mess
when he came on the job in July in which some officers' disciplinary cases had lain dormant for years.

Prison Population Growth Slows in 2008
the Associated Press via the Daily Journal
Share
The U.S. prison population edged up slightly last year, though the number of total inmates dropped in 20 states,
including New York, Georgia and Michigan.
Justice Department figures released recently show the overall state and federal prison population stands at a record 1.6 million and is still rising, but the rate of growth is slowing as state authorities look for cheaper ways to mete out justice.

Large Cache of Weapons Found in
Maryland Man's Home
The Gloucester Times
Share
A part-time EMT arrested last recently on larceny and obstruction of justice allegations now faces multiple drug and weapon charges after police found a cache of firearms, thousands of assorted prescription pills, a tear-gas launcher and a
military-grade rocket launcher -- all inside his Rockport apartment. Police had sought the warrant suspecting that Atkinson -- whose license to carry a gun was suspended last week off the original felony charge -- failed to relinquish all of his firearms the first time around. That, police said, came after officers noticed he had handed in ammunition for guns that he had not turned over.

A Texas inmate who escaped recently -- on foot even though he was thought to need a wheelchair -- has been recaptured, the U.S. Marshals Service said Dec. 7. Arcade Comeaux Jr., 49, was carrying two loaded pistols when
he was arrested without incident at 7:40 a.m. at a business in Houston, Texas, said U.S. Deputy Marshal Alfredo Perez. "[Comeaux] was cold, wet, tired and hungry. He had had enough," Perez said. "He was tired of running."
