Alberta Child Who Was Abducted Found Dead
In a heart wrenching story out of Alberta today, we learned that nine-year-old Amber Lucius was abducted by her mother, and later found dead in a truck parked on a country road in Millet, a farming community outside of Calgary with a population of 2,000. Her mother was with her when she was discovered. How could this have happened and what can be done to prevent the violence that rears its ugly head in high-conflict custody battles between warring parents? Amber’s parents, Laura Coward and Duane Lucius, were married in 2004 and separated three years later in 2007. In the beginning of their post-separation parenting, the parties shared joint custody and Amber lived primarily with her mother. I should clarify that joint custody does not mean equal parenting time, it means equal decision-making, a concept that is illusory where one parent refuses to collaborate with the other. Ms. Coward was one of those mothers who made her former husband’s life a living nightmare…

Florida's DHSMV picks a fight with County Court Judges
For those of you that have kids, you've heard the phrase "no, I won't do it." Well, most kids don't really say "no, I'm not going to do that", but if you listen close to their responses, a parental translation of statements like "when I'm done watching this show" or "I've got homework to do" translates to just about the same thing as "whatever you are asking, I'm not going to do it". This sort of immature response happens in government as well. Executive orders are drafted by presidents, on things that should have been voted on by the people's representatives. And, governmental agencies pass "regulations" that can send you to jail, even though our legislature and governor never approved such. And, these sort of government tiffs occur even on the smallest of scales. Take, for example, the dispute between Florida's county court judges, and Florida's Department of…

Fourth Amendment issues...cont
"the fact that the officer does not have the state of mind which is hypothecated by the reasons which provide the legal justification for the officer's action does not invalidate the action taken as long as the circumstances, viewed objectively, justify that action". "The general rule of course is that a warrantless search of a dwelling or, as in this case, a hotel room, is constitutionally prohibited, even though there may be probable cause for the search. Under certain circumstances, however, immediately following an arrest, law enforcement officers without a warrant may be permitted to conduct a security check--a very quick and limited pass through the premises to check for third persons who may destroy evidence or pose a threat to the officers. "The reasonableness of a security check is simple and straightforward. From the standpoint of the individual, the intrusion on his privacy is slight; the search is cursory in nature and is intended to…

PD Dude - Back posting again?
Why post? Why write? How to keep it up? How to stay relevant? How to write about things that are interesting to people who look at a specific type of blog and don't necessarily want to see someone pontificating on the rest of society's issues, even though those issues are of great interest to you and you think you have something to write about? How to keep writing about what seems like a more and more narrow subject even though it's so full of interesting things on a day to day basis?And most importantly, how to pick it up again after dropping it for so long without feeling like a fool, or artificial, or like you have nothing more important to say?I started writing this blog more than a decade ago. It was new, I was a a lot younger, I really loved doing it. I wrote for a while, I got some nice feedback, I did it some more, and as much fun as it was, it became hard to keep it up. So much has changed in the decade since I started…

Central Park Five Settlement Finalized
The settlement of the Central Park Five civil case, stemming from the arrest of five young men for the violent rape and assault of a young woman, known as the Central Park Jogger, was formally accepted by the court on Friday. (See here). The $41 million settlement was reached some time ago, and I have made my thoughts known previously.But with the resolution yesterday came a statement by New York City Corporation Counsel that bears some scrutiny. Specifically, Zachary Carter said,[The settlement for $41 million] should not be construed as an acknowledgment that the convictions of these five plaintiffs were the result of law enforcement misconduct. On the contrary, our review of the record suggests that both the investigating detectives and the assistant district attorneys involved in the case acted reasonably, given the circumstances with which they were confronted on April 19, 1989 and thereafter.Carter's statement is notable for it's overt support of the police and…

Arrested for DWI Over the Labor Day Holiday? How a New Jersey DWI-DUI Attorney Might Help
Now that summer is officially over, there are still many Garden State motorists awaiting their day in court to answer to charges of impaired driving lodged against them by local and state police during the long Labor Day holiday. Whether arrested for intoxication by alcohol or impairment via some kind of drug (either legally obtained prescription medications or illicit substances, like marijuana or cocaine), the odds of paying dearly for an error in judgment or momentary indiscretion can be quite high. As New Jersey DWI defense lawyers, my law firm is dedicated to assisting those individuals who have been accused of a serious drunken driving offense. Though many people would disagree, until it actually happens to them, even an instance of breath test refusal can lead to costly penalties. If you or someone you know was arrested for drunk driving arrest, drug DUI, or CDS (controlled dangerous substance) possession, my colleagues and I understand how frightening the future may…
