There are a few young women about here that have these wholesome multiple child carriages with large wheels. Often seen running with one or more riders and a dog on a tow an obvious good example in a zero population growth economy.Can”t argue their value in the macro scene ,micro scene choice remains in part due to discrimination laws. We wish them luck in their aspirations and to any one else that has life goals and ideals that are different and still fall in the realm of:

( social norms) and those that push that envelope with out public endangerment.

Brady bill comes into law.

Civil rights responsible police.

Arrest, part of a normal day for the thin blue line,  this recent arrest in downtown Merritt shows an officer taking into custody a suspect, he can on reasonable suspicion detain a person for 24 hours. That person can have a lawyer present for questioning, and ask for a writ to produce him in court with charges against him . Special laws after 911 undermined that civil right with out suspending all civil rights for citizens.

UNMARKED POLICE CAR

This is an unmarked police car they have every thing regular cars have including radar. Some people call this entrapment. That is not correct, entrapment  defence is for those that do not have a disposition to an offence and they cause you to do something you would not normally do . Relevance is another misunderstood dynamic, you only have to raise a reasonable doubt in court the disposition of proof is on the officer and crown.  So anything that does not reflect the ability of the officer in the collection of evidence is not relevent to the offence. A police officer that missed a spot while shaving could be, however they take two witnesses for a conviction one the equipment reliability , photos, perhaps, overtaking traffic,  other persons as witness’s and braking.

Save your self much trouble and money, stay on the posted max we think.

Fall in the air

Fall colours

Fall is here with temperatures going close to freezing at night. The colour is rich and the mood sublime as the earth prepares for a bit of a sleep . Still some time off as yet,  the change for now is right on cue for the Thanks Giving time that many share.

Yesterday in the UK the 10,000 odd druids became an official religion,   that means they can marry and bury.

Happy harvest time!

Today in History, October 4 1997:

The second largest cash robbery in U.S. history occurs at the Charlotte, North Carolina office of Loomis, Fargo and Company. A FBI investigation eventually results in 24 convictions and the recovery of about 95% of the $17.3 million in cash.

The downtown community police office had covers from 50’s era crime magazines, they all depicted a pretty women as a victim and protected by detective and police work.

The city hosted a  number of events of the 1950 era but no Elvis was seen. BC rivers day was part of the weekend including a rubber duck race on the river , wooded fish painted by grade school students and secured  on the back fence of the lawn bowling green that borders the Nicola River.

Breathilizer


The radio reported yesterday that drunk driving is now .05 and not .08 one source says. The matter has been under debate.We have not seen ANYTHING (except last April’s announcement) published. Will confirm.
However the file in this locked police car reads the “refusal to take breathalyzer” seems strange for a file to be left in public view in the midst of a debate on road side suspension.

PS: remember both refusal to blow and .08 are criminal records that can affect your employment.
