  • When Can You Be Ticketed for Driving Without a License?
    WHEN CAN YOU BE TICKETED FOR DRIVING WITHOUT A LICENSE? LAW: “No person, except those expressly exempted, shall drive any motor vehicle upon a highway or public property in this Commonwealth unless the person has a driver's license valid under the provisions of this chapter.” “Public property” only includes parking lots owned or leased by the Commonwealth. 75 Pa. Cons. Stat. § 1501(a). MEANING: Based on the language of the statute, you cannot be cited for driving without a license while only in the Home Depot parking lot because it is not a public highway. DEFENSE: If you were cited for driving without a license in the parking lot you should request a hearing to dispute the ticket. At the hearing you could make a corpus delicti objection (principle that a crime must have been proven to have occurred before conviction). If asked how you arrived at the parking lot, you can invoke 5th amendment protection (against self-incrimination) to not respond. If the officer never observed you driving outside the lot, then you may prevail in disputing the ticket. TIP: If you are stopped in the parking lot the officer could ask you how you got to the parking lot. You should not answer that question. BUT WHAT ABOUT PROBABLE CAUSE? CAN THE POLICE STOP ME WHENEVER THEY WANT? No, the police need probable cause to stop you in your car. There is no probable cause for stopping a driver for driving without a license. Therefore, unless there is another reason to stop a vehicle, such as expired registration, or speeding, there should not be a traffic stop.

  • Implied Consent Laws Will Only Apply As Follows
    IMPLIED CONSENT Why are we discussing Implied Consent? What does Implied Consent have to do with Intoxilyzer Operations? After stopping a motorist on suspicion of DUI, the officer typically checks for signs of impairment and may ask the driver to submit to a breathalyzer test to determine his or her breath-alcohol (BrAC) or blood alcohol concentration (BAC). But not everyone willingly provides a breath sample and police officers cannot force DUI suspects to blow into a tube. More than 20 percent of drunk driving suspects in the U.S. refuse to take a breathalyzer or other BAC test when an officer suspects drunk driving, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). It varies greatly from state to state, from 2.4 percent in Delaware to 81 percent in New Hampshire (based on 2005 data cited by NHTSA). The act of refusal, though, comes with its own penalties. Under "implied consent" laws in all states, when they apply for a driver's license, motorists give consent to test or tests to determine impairment. Should a driver refuse to submit to testing when an officer has reasonable suspicion that the driver is under the influence, the driver risks automatic license suspension along with possible further penalties. Consequences for breathalyzer refusal vary by state, which may explain the wide variance in statewide refusal rates, but most states impose an automatic driver's license suspension upon refusal of a BAC/BrAC test. Suspensions usually increase for a refusing motorist with past DUI convictions, sometimes including jail time. DEFINITION OF IMPLIED CONSENT A.

  • GGD-00-41 Racial Profiling: Limited Data Available on Motorist Stops
    United States General Accounting Office Report to the Honorable GAO James E. Clyburn, Chairman Congressional Black Caucus March 2000 RACIAL PROFILING Limited Data Available on Motorist Stops GAO/GGD-00-41 United States General Accounting Office General Government Division Washington, D.C. 20548 B-283949 March 13, 2000 The Honorable James E. Clyburn Chairman, Congressional Black Caucus Dear Mr. Chairman: Racial profiling of motorists by law enforcement—that is, using race as a key factor in deciding whether to make a traffic stop—is an issue that has received increased attention in recent years. Numerous allegations of racial profiling of motorists have been made and several lawsuits have been won. As agreed with your office, this report provides information on (1) the findings and methodologies of analyses that have been conducted on racial profiling of motorists; and (2) federal, state, and local data currently available, or expected to be available soon, on motorist stops. We found no comprehensive, nationwide source of information that could Results in Brief be used to determine whether race has been a key factor in motorist stops. The available research is currently limited to five quantitative analyses that contain methodological limitations; they have not provided conclusive empirical data from a social science standpoint to determine the extent to which racial profiling may occur. However, the cumulative results of the analyses indicate that in relation to the populations to which they were compared, African American motorists in particular, and minority motorists in general, were proportionately more likely than whites to be stopped on the roadways studied. Data on the relative proportion of minorities stopped on a roadway, however, is only part of the information needed from a social science perspective to assess the degree to which racial profiling may occur.

  • 2016 Traffic Stop Report
    Twelfth Report to the State of Maryland Under TR 25-113 2015 Race-Based Traffic Stop Data Analysis August 31, 2016 Larry Hogan Governor Boyd K. Rutherford Lt. Governor V. Glenn Fueston, Jr. Executive Director Governor’s Office of Crime Control & Prevention Submitted by: Governor’s Office of Crime Control & Prevention Contact: Gregory Coster 410-697-9298 [email protected] MSAR # 88 This project was supported by award number 2013-BJ-CX-K024 by the Bureau of Justice Statistics. 1 INTRODUCTION In 2001, the Maryland General Assembly passed Section 25-113 of the Transportation Article. The statute, which requires data collection on every law eligible traffic stop in Maryland, aims to provide information about the pervasiveness of racial profiling.1 Specifically, TR 25-113 required the Maryland Police and Correctional Training Commission, in consultation with the Maryland Justice Analysis Center,2 now known as the Maryland Statistical Analysis Center, to develop four guiding documents, to include: 1. A model recording and reporting format; 2. A model policy for law enforcement agencies to address race/ethnicity-based traffic stops; 3. Guidelines for law enforcement agencies to manage, counsel, and train officers who collect traffic stop data; and 4. A model log for law enforcement agencies to record traffic stop data. TR 25-113 mandates State funding for data collection and analysis however, neither law enforcement agencies nor the Maryland Statistical Analysis Center received funding for traffic stop data reporting. METHODOLOGY The 2016 report presents aggregate data on all law eligible stops in Maryland that law enforcement agencies reported to the Maryland Statistical Analysis Center for the 2015 calendar year (January 1, 2015 through December 31, 2015).

  • Body-Worn Cameras: an Empty Reform to Expand the Surveillance State
    1 Stop LAPD Spying Coalition Body-Worn Cameras: An Empty Reform to Expand the Surveillance State In 2014, body-worn cameras for police became the subject of public discussion across political and media landscapes following the non-indictments handed down to the officers involved in the killings of Ezell Ford, Michael Brown, Eric Garner, and countless other people of color. With conflicting narratives surrounding many of these high profile cases of unarmed black and brown as well as mentally ill, transient, and homeless individuals being killed at the hands of law enforcement, body-worn cameras have been advocated as one technological remedy toward fostering greater police accountability and transparency by providing what proponents hold is objective documentation of community-police interactions. However, body-worn cameras should not be perceived as the end-all solution to fostering greater police accountability and oversight and mitigating officers' deadly use of force. Analyzing body-worn cameras through the financial details surrounding them in the context of the Los Angeles Police Department's (LAPD) contract with TASER International raises serious allegations of conflicts of interest as well as concerns stemming from the lack of substantive community input and debate on the deal. Research as to the efficacy of body-worn cameras is also virtually non-existent, which leads the Stop LAPD Spying Coalition to contend that marketing hype and the pursuit of more effective means of surveillance and intelligence gathering, not empirical data, are driving the push toward adoption of body-worn cameras by police departments across the nation. This was facilitated in the case of Los Angeles by its Civilian Police Commission, which functions through legitimating an unwavering pro-law enforcement perspective while other, more critical, community voices are marginalized and framed as outside the boundaries of respectable discourse.

  • 1 No. 119,266 in the COURT of APPEALS of the STATE OF
    No. 119,266 IN THE COURT OF APPEALS OF THE STATE OF KANSAS STATE OF KANSAS, Appellee, v. ERIKA YAZMIN ARCEO-ROJAS, Appellant. SYLLABUS BY THE COURT 1. Appellate courts use a bifurcated standard of review when considering a motion to suppress evidence. We review the factual underpinnings of the decision for substantial competent evidence, and we review the ultimate legal conclusion drawn from those facts de novo. Substantial competent evidence exists when a reasonable person could accept the evidence as being adequate to support a conclusion. While engaging in this review, we do not reweigh the evidence, assess witness credibility, or resolve evidentiary conflicts. 2. The burden is on the State to establish the lawfulness of a warrantless search and seizure. 3. The Fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution and § 15 of the Kansas Constitution Bill of Rights both protect individuals against unreasonable searches and seizures. Constitutional issues may arise when a law enforcement officer stops a vehicle 1 on a public roadway, and therefore restrains an individual's liberty, because the stop constitutes a seizure under the Fourth Amendment. 4. A police officer may perform a traffic stop if he or she reasonably suspects that the driver committed a traffic infraction. 5. Reasonable suspicion exists when a law enforcement officer has a specific, objective, articulable basis for believing that the person being detained is committing, has committed, or is about to commit a crime. 6. The existence of reasonable suspicion is a question of law. 7. If an officer executed a traffic stop without reasonable suspicion that the driver was committing a traffic infraction or crime, then the evidence discovered later during that stop may be suppressed under the exclusionary rule.
