This is a very difficult time to recognition from the DAs themselves, RWD Group 845.364.0222 l [email protected] Off DutY ACTIONS The DIA has been made aware of the fact that in the past, members of this Association have taken action off duty in accordance with their police officer duties and responsibilities. It was during this time that we became concerned because it now appears obvious to us that there are few, if any, rules or regulations that spell out what is expected of DIA members in the event they become involved in an off-duty incident. Further, we are concerned that there exist no procedures regarding questioning of an employee, the employee’s rights of representation, or other relevant matters involving off duty conduct. As such I have directed our counsel to immediately send a letter to Labor Relations Commissioner Robert Linn, and each of the District Attorneys and Narcotics Prosecutor requesting a meeting with those parties to discuss the mandatory subjects of bargaining which I mentioned. I remind all members that you are under no legal obligation to get involved, especially if your intervention places you in a position of peril or if such intervention requires you to behave in a reckless or careless manner. We all realize that our law enforcement training, experience, and knowledge provide us with unique skills and abilities to function successfully in a confrontation. SIGN UP Handling such confrontations is a normal part of our job. Some have said that there is substantively no difference between on duty and off duty incidents, that FOR police officers are on duty 24/7 and that they may take actions off duty as though they are on duty. E-mAIL But is that true? Are there legal issues which may impact that concept? Are there personal, departmental, and or municipal exposures which must be identified and considered? Those are some of the questions we need to have BLASTS answered. Your Trustee will keep you informed of any updates and anyone involved FROM in such an incident should immediately contact his trustee so that your DIA rights can be protected.

There were no salary steps to give the Detective Investigators a sense that they “I’ve got guys with nine years in the job and they’re were advancing, and no real promotion process for a title that has three levels: line investigator, senior not senior investigators,” Mr. Fleming said. “I’ve got investigator, and supervisor investigator. guys who have three or four years in who are senior Each of the six prosecutors’ offices that employ investigators.

    9/18/2018 Small-screen courtrooms a hit with lawyers - Buffalo - Buffalo Business First MENU Account FOR THE EXCLUSIVE USE OF [email protected] From the Buffalo Business First: https://www.bizjournals.com/buffalo/news/2018/09/17/small-screen-courtrooms-a-hit-with-lawyers.html Small-screen courtrooms a hit with lawyers Sep 17, 2018, 6:00am EDT For many, TV shows are an escape from reality. For attorneys, that’s no different – even when they’re watching lawyers on TV. “Better Call Saul” is the latest in a long line of TV shows about the legal profession. A prequel to AMC’s “Breaking Bad,” the show stars Bob Odenkirk as a crooked-at-times attorney named Jimmy McGill. “He’s a likable guy and you like his character,” said Patrick Fitzsimmons, senior associate at Hodgson Russ LLP in Buffalo. “It’s a great show. I think it’s the one BEN LEUNER/AMC show compared to the others where it’s not about a big firm.” “Better Call Saul” puts a new spin on legal drama as the slippery Jimmy McGill (played by Bob Odenkirk) Also a fan is Michael Benz, an associate at HoganWillig who recently returned to builds his practice. his native Buffalo after working in the Philadelphia public defender’s office and in his own practice as a criminal defense attorney. “(Odenkirk’s character is) the classic defense attorney who will do anything to make a buck or help his client,” Benz said, adding that he often binge-watches shows with his wife, Carla, an attorney in the federal public defender’s office in Buffalo.

  • The Dismal Science the Irrational 18-Year-Old Criminal by Joel
    Print the dismal science The Irrational 18-Year-Old Criminal Evidence that prison doesn't deter crime. By Joel Waldfogel Posted Tuesday, Jan. 30, 2007, at 4:54 PM ET Crime control is one of the oldest problems facing social science, dating at least to Beccaria, the 18th- century Italian philosopher who tried to put punishment on a rational footing. Two basic tools for controlling crime are policing and imprisonment, corresponding broadly to the first and second half- hours of a Law & Order episode. (In the vintage cast lineup, Detective Lennie Briscoe identifies a prime suspect before the second commercial break, and then prosecutor Jack McCoy does battle in court to get the defendant prison time.) Both the prospect of getting caught and the prospect of spending time in prison are supposed to deter forward-looking, rational potential offenders from criminal activity, encouraging more-constructive pursuits like staying in school or at least making French fries. More mechanically, prison also prevents crime by simply caging dangerous people. Deterrence has long been an article of faith among economic theorists and, more recently, economists who do empirical work, too. But now a series of careful studies by economists at Columbia and the University of Michigan are calling into question whether either policing or punishment successfully deters crime. With the traditional tools of social science, the deterrent effect of policing and punishment is hard to measure. Usually, empiricists infer an effect if crime is lower in circumstances with stiffer punishments or more policing. The problem is that tougher policies don't occur randomly.

Mueller* ABSTRACT Plea bargaining is the dominant means of disposing of criminal charges in the United States, in both state and federal courts. This administrative mechanism has become a system that is grossly abusive of individual rights, leading to many well-known maladies of the criminal justice system, which include overcharging, overincarceration, convictions on charges that would likely fail at trial, and even conviction of “factually innocent” persons.

Welcome to the For what seems to have been eons, your editor has been asking Roger Wothe to contribute an article about his magnificent 1942 Continental Cabriolet. I have progressed through the various Northstar News, the stages, asking nicely, begging, pleading, threatening, cajoling, shaming, and trying to do whatever monthly publication of it might take to have Roger sit down with pen in hand and create a missive suitable for publication the Northstar Region in our monthly newsletter. Alas, nothing worked. But, an article of sorts had been published in the January-February 2009 issue of Comments. Tim Howley authored it from information supplied by of the Lincoln and Roger. Tim was motivated to write about the car, as he had seen it in all its beauty at the 2008 Continental Owners LCOC Mid-America meet, which took place in Duluth, Minnesota.

  • Law and Order and the American Criminal Justice System
    Law and Order and the American Criminal Justice System By David L. Sutton, Melissa Britts, Margaret Landman Fall 2000 Issue of KINEMA TELEVISION PROGRAMMES AS LEGAL TEXTS: WHAT LAW AND ORDER TELLS US ABOUT THE AMERICAN CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM In this work, we take the perspective that although a television program is produced for the brief amusement of a mass audience, it can be viewed as having a part in the scholarly investigation of law and justice in our society. The central question we are focussing on is: What does Law & Order programme tell its audience about the American criminal justice system? According to one of the program’s official web sites, Law & Order is a ”realistic” television series that examines ”law and order from a dual perspective.” For roughly the first half-hour, the program focuses on two New York Police Department (NYPD) detectives as they ”investigate crimes and apprehend law-breakers.” Then the scene switches to the criminal courts, where two assistant district attorneys ”work within a complicated justice system to prosecute the criminals.”(1) We take the position that a television program can be examined as a legal text. John Denvir posits that films can be studied as legal texts because they share a common feature with the ”normal legaltrilogyof constitutions, codes, and cases.” Like this group of texts, films are also ”cultural artifacts open to warring interpretations both on the descriptive and normative level.”(2) We posit that one can easily make the same point about television programs, another prevalent cultural artifact of our current times.
