I have never been called for jury duty, but as I understand it because my SIL is a police officer they would not usually choose me. I think it would be cool if I got called. I love all the CSI series.
Just curious, what does CSI have to do with serving on a jury?

We also know you are a cop with a grudge against anyone that questions your power as a cop.
So if I question any thing you say.. I am dumb, you are just a cop with an attitude that needs a good but wooping IMO.
You appear to not want the average person to have knowledge of the legal system so you can ram rod them. It's all about the power trip of cops like you that make me want to know more about how to deal with people that abuse their position.
You don't want average folks to know the laws so that you have the knowledge edge on them.
Hey barney go pull someone over and write them a few tickets. you will feel better.
If I question the law or the way it is used that is my right to know. If you have a problem with me wanting to know morethen you have a problem, but them again we know you do.
As I don't trust the system, I want to be more informed about it.
Hey Barney go shine your bullet and then put it away so you don't hurt your self.
P.S. You will be the first person I block so that I don't have to read such dribble. Oh and your an Idiot with a gun that is very dangerous. It is so vary obvious...
From who? Meth heads and outlaws?
The truth hurts don’t it?

“We also know you are a cop with a grudge against anyone that questions your power as a cop.”
Who is “we” and where are your facts to back this accusation?
“you are just a cop with an attitude that needs a good but wooping IMO.”
So because you think I am a cop with an attitude, you advocate physical violence towards me? It figures.
On the contrary sir, I encourage people to become involved and learn about the system that I am part of. I have even suggested you go on a ride along with your local law enforcement, which it is obvious you have no intention of doing. In my last post I even suggested you learn about the system. So how do you come up with this? “You appear to not want the average person to have knowledge of the legal system so you can ram rod them”. If wanting someone to have some knowledge about a subject before spouting off about it is considered a “power trip” I guess I am guilty.
Your last post speaks volumes on your mentality.

No I did not, I just hate people like you. Stupid and wish normal people do not question police tactics. The legal system is to be kept in check by the citizens of the community. I don't spend my time researching all the laws. I know you must have a friend that gets your stuff taken care of, but some of us don't know the system. And there are some of us that have a life other then listening to your dull posts.
You sir, are about as dumb as a box of rocks.
You come on here with these thinly veiled attacks at law enforcement. You state “some of us don't know the system.” and ask a question (well sort of a question)regarding the system. When those of us that know the system, work in the system every day, receive continued training on the system try to give a lucid answer to one of your babbling, incoherent sorry excuses for a question, you come up with schite like this,” I just hate people like you. Stupid and wish normal people do not question police tactics.”. you state” The legal system is to be kept in check by the citizens of the community” yet admit no knowledge of the system. Here is an idea, if you want to help police the system you hold in such distain, how about put forth some effort and gain some knowledge of the system before you start spouting off. And while you are at it take a few continuing education classes for adults in the English composition field. Your inability to compose a proper sentence and to arrange them into a cohesive paragraph is pathetic. Yea I know the drill, you do it so dummies like me can understand you; keep telling yourself that.And yet you are going to question something as complex as the legal system? And then you post this jewel,” And there are some of us that have a life other then listening to your dull posts.” And what would that be? Posting Idiotic, rambling BS in a sorry attempt to stir schite, for no logical reason or legitimate complaint?
A reasonable question regarding an allegation or actions, substantiated by fact, regarding law enforcement I will always answer and discuss honestly and with an open mind, but of course that is not what you want. YOU ARE PATHETIC.
If you do not wish to take the time to educate yourself on this issue that you are always spouting off about, get someone else to do it for you who may have a modicum of knowledge on the subject. You are clueless and your tirades on the subject reveal that it is you who is the stupid one and has no life.

Must not be enough money coming in from those with a badge.
No cases will be able to be made by the accusation of the citizens operating the radar. They do not meet the statutory requirements of OCGA.
I question the legality of this based on FCC regulations governing the operation of radio transmitter devices.
At one time each officer had to have a restricted RTT license to operate radar. They changed this to put the operation of radar under an agencies FCC radio station license, Thus any one employed by the agency that was authorized to operate the two way radios was covered.
It appears to me, citizens operating a radio transmitter divice without being covered under some FCC license is in violation of federal regulations governing the operation of such divice.
Radar FCC License
Microwave traffic radars used in the United States are regulated by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). FCC Rules and Regulations, Part 15, 20, and 90 cover Radiolocation Services (traffic radars) requirements. The FCC specifics technical standards such as operating frequency, bandwidth, power density, etc. The FCC Rules do NOT cover the CALIBRATION of radar units, radar ACCURACY, or OPERATOR capability requirements.
LICENSE REQUIREMENTS
State or local government agencies (including police) that have an FCC license for a communication system (Public Safety Radio Services) are not required to have a separate FCC license for traffic radar under part 90 of FCC rules.
Radar units may also be used under Part 90 (other appropriate FCC radio license required) by non-public safety entities such as professional baseball teams, tennis clubs, automobile and boat racing organizations, private transportation firms, railroads, etc., to measure the speed of objects or vehicles.
Many public safety agencies operate unattended, low-power, transmit-only radar units under Part 15 of FCC Rules.
Non-public safety users are required to obtain a Part 90 license.
Source: FCC Public Notice -- FCC Regulates Radar Transmitters, but not Radar Detectors, DA 96-2040, 1996 DEC 9
SUMMARY: Police do not need an FCC license to operate traffic radar (if their radios are licensed); however other state, local, or agency requirements may apply.

ALPHARETTA, Ga. --
A new community speed-monitoring program in Alpharetta will allow residents to take an active role in addressing speed-related concerns in their neighborhoods, Alpharetta officials said.
The Alpharetta Department of Public Safety has launched the Community Speed Monitoring Program, putting radar guns in the hands of qualified citizens who believe they have a problem with speeders on their neighborhood streets.
Residents are required to work in groups of three, with one resident identifying speeding vehicles, another to record data, such as date, time and speed, and another to verify tag numbers.
The information will be relayed to the director of the Public Safety Department or his designee, who will determine what action should be taken.
“This is another tool for homeowners to use in helping with the safety of the neighborhood, said Police Officer Terry Joyner. “It will give them the opportunity to personally be able to get an accurate account of the speeding problems that may are not be going on in their community. This information will also assist us in determining if further enforcement is needed.”
Members of the Thornberry neighborhood safety committee were introduced to the radar guns recently and responded favorably to the new tool, officials said.
“I think it will bring awareness to those actually speeding through the neighborhood, said resident Sherrie Board. “Some people don’t realize their speed or the danger.”
Those who have been properly trained on the use of the radar guns will be permitted to sign out the guns for three days.

I'll be interested to see what the estimated crowd was today, because they usually expect around 100,000. I think they fufilled that today and I think that half of them were in front of me and you!!
I know most of them were because I waited until the ramp was mostly clear until I even got in line. When I did get in line I was by the rock climbing wall. If it was not for the nice folks in line ahead of me, the wait would have been even worse.

Have you ever been where there were lines like this?
I can honestly say, that I think in my 42 years that is the longest I have stood in line for anything.

I just got in. After a 2 hr wait on the bus to white water.

BY GOSH…..this one isn’t going to die with eight post, if I hafta make the next fifty post myself…….
Come on folks. Get out of the drama and political threads for a while and have some fun. I know there are at least a few of us out here that remember those great songs from the 70s that we used to get up in the morning listening to before school, skated to on the weekends, or played on the juke box while playing pin ball at the pool.
Like this one.

With being passive victims?

"The number of justifiable homicides committed by police and private citizens has been rising in the past two years to their highest levels in more than a decade, reflecting a shoot-first philosophy in dealing with crime, say law enforcement analysts.
The 391 killings by police that were ruled justifiable in 2007 were the most since 1994, FBI statistics show. The 254 killings by private individuals found to be self-defense were the most since 1997.
The FBI says a homicide committed by a private citizen is justified when a person is slain during the commission of a felony, such as a burglary or robbery. Police are justified, the FBI says, when felons are killed while the officer is acting in the line of duty. Rulings on these deaths are usually made by the local police agencies involved.
Some law enforcement analysts say the numbers represent changing attitudes on the streets, where police have felt more threatened by well-armed offenders, and citizens have taken greater responsibility for their own safety.
James Alan Fox, a criminal justice professor at Northeastern University in Boston, describes an emerging "shoot-first" mentality by police and private citizens. For several years, police departments have armed their officers with higher-powered weapons to keep pace with criminal gangs. "Clearly there is a message out there that citizens may be able to defend themselves" as well, he says.
Alfred Blumstein, a Carnegie Mellon University criminologist, says the gun "legalization movement" also may have helped create a "greater willingness" among citizens to act in self-defense.
Forty-eight states provide various rights to carry firearms. Illinois and Wisconsin do not, according to the National Rifle Association (NRA). In a landmark decision, the Supreme Court in June carved out a right to individual gun ownership, ruling that the Second Amendment allows citizens to keep guns in their homes for self-defense.
The NRA and other analysts say most laws allowing gun possession have existed for years and would not likely account for a recent spike in self-defense killings.
Instead, Wayne LaPierre, the NRA's executive vice president and chief executive officer, says the 9/11 attacks and the widespread looting and violence after Hurricane Katrina spurred some people to take more responsibility for their own safety.
Immediately after those events, LaPierre says, the group's gun-safety trainers reported "big increases" in NRA-sponsored courses. "Americans are simply refusing to be victims," he says.
Florida State University criminologist Gary Kleck says the FBI underestimates self-defense killings by citizens because the ones that are not precipitated by felony crimes may not get counted. "Less than a third of (citizen killings) are reported," he says."

Unless the law has changed since I worked in Georgia, there is no state law governing this. Bb and pellet guns are not considered firearms by statute definition. Cities and municipalities may have ordinances prohibiting it.
from OCGA
(a) As used in this Code section, the term:
2) 'Firearm' includes any handgun, rifle, shotgun, or other weapon which will or can be converted to expel a projectile by the action of an explosive or electrical charge

Exactly...If someone fails to move at a traffic light, I think it is reasonable to assume that they are asleep or not paying attention which is a traffic hazard. This law is poorly written and I do not believe it accurately portrays a reasonable intent (driving down the road with your horn blaring continuously).
Unfortunately, some folks look at the statute and all they see is “cant blow horn on highway”. they do not read the provisions or elements of the statute. In doing this they fail to see how the statute may or may not be applicable in a certain situation.
This would not even fall under the old “spirit Vs letter” of the law. In this case I simply do not see it as applicable, according to the account of the person who received the citation.
NOW, this is just one side of the story, we have not heard the officers side, which could put every thing in a different light.
-
If he presents his case in the proper manner he can beat it. The statute gives the provision “The driver of a motor vehicle shall, when it is reasonably necessary to ensure safe operation”. I think using the horn in the manner that he did falls under this. It is “reasonable” to believe that if the driver at the light did not proceed on green, he could very well present a traffic hazard and impede the safe operation of other traffic. Therefore it would be reasonable to get on the horn a bit.
For those of you with boys....

I would venture to say that is the problem. Give them some paper towels after the “spray down” and I bet their aim will improve in no time.
