February 28th, 2010

Statistics show that the United States has topped the list of those that have people who are in jail these times. Most of those persons are repeat offenders that is why the possibility of those first-timers to repeat the same case when they’re free is so high. In addition, it is also possible that you will encounter one of these people along your way. Worst as it is, some may even get into your life without your knowledge of their past.

Such thing sounds like a threat to your safety. Don’t take it for granted. Nowadays, the availability of police records are already made possible by those who are working at your local police departments who are documenting every single interaction that a person has with a police. It could be an armed robbery, a traffic violation, or for gun permit, etc., everything is officially recorded. By the name itself, Free Public Police Records are obtainable for free via mail, telephone, fax, in person, or through the Internet.

No sweats at all when you search for these types of documents because the kind of technology that the world has now can thoroughly facilitate the availability of these free public police records. Various offices that entertain requests for these files already have their own automated devices, plus everyone is now familiar with the use of the Internet. The information that you need can even be just a few clicks away and stress-free especially when you pay for the service of those commercial record providers online.

It is easy to find out if a particular person has an existing police record. All you have to be familiar with are four easy steps to do that. The first step is to call your local police station because those policemen are the best people to tell you how to go about with your search. Secondly, you must also know the exact date when the offense was done or the name of the person who is involved in such crime. There are also available web sites on the Internet that allows free access to these records; so, you can also consider them as a good source. On the other hand, in cases when the police department does not have the information that you need, you might be advised to check on your state courthouse to obtain the desired result.

It could be an easy access or the other way around, that depends on the state’s jurisdiction when it comes to dealing with Police Arrest Records. They are indeed part of those public records; however, it is the states’ call to require some forms of consent, signatures, or fingerprints before the requestor can obtain the said information or it can also be just a simple request away towards having the desired report. That is beyond everyone’s control; it’s the state’s law that should prevail and anyone who violates that will be sanctioned accordingly.

Are Police Reports Public Records? Having these police records available to any member of the public truly makes it a public record. As a matter of fact, police departments are offering free service for this. However, you have to take note that there are instances in which the law will prohibit any access and use of these records especially if they contain sensitive and private information of a person. In those cases, only those law enforcers or anyone with authority are allowed to check on them according to the commands of the state.

The Legal Differences Between a Felony and Misdemeanor

February 28th, 2010

There are many different types of crimes committed every day in the world. Some crimes may be considered more or less serious than others. Murder or arson are considered by society to be severe crimes, while crimes such as public intoxication are considered to be less severe. The fact of the matter is that all crimes are an abuse of the law and require various punishments depending on the severity of the crime committed by the criminal.

Type of punishment you receive for your crime will usually be an indicator of how serious the crime you committed was. Penalties for crimes are usually based on what kind of crime was committed and what kind of effect it had on society. It is also important to note, that crimes and punishments may fluctuate between states.

Felonies are considered to be the most serious crimes. The federal government and most states consider a felony to be a crime punishable by more than one year in a state prison. It is not uncommon to see some states classify any crime punishable by any length of time in prison for felony. A San Diego criminal attorney can assist you in determining what kind of crime you are being charged with and what you should do. Felonies are often considered to include crimes such as murder, robbery, arson, and kidnapping.

Misdemeanors are considered by the legal system to be far less serious types of crimes. Most state and federal government laws classify misdemeanors as crimes punishable by a less than a year in prison, while some believe misdemeanor are crimes only punishable by a fine or short time in jail.

There is a vast variety of crimes classified as misdemeanors in most states. The misdemeanors that seem to be more common throughout the nation include trespassing, vandalism, drunk in public, and petty theft.

Book Review: Arctic Drift, a Dirk Pitt Novel, by Clive Cussler

February 27th, 2010

As usual, Clive Cussler stays right on top of current world events in his latest Dirk Pitt novel, Arctic Drift. This time, not surprisingly, the book set in the year 2011 revolves around the financial crisis and global warming.

The bad guy of the story, Mitchell Goyette, is a Canadian energy tycoon with a public facade of green technology and renewable resource businesses. However, his dark underbelly conceals heavy involvement in oil and natural gas.

The United States faces a financial meltdown, aggravated by the threat of an international boycott if the country does not decrease its carbon dioxide emissions from coal fired power plants. Canada holds the key to America’s salvation in the form or an enormous wealth of natural gas reserves.

The sitting American president, who in 2011 is neither Democratic nor Republican but an independent, hopes to use Canadian natural gas to replace coal for producing electricity and even for powering cars converted to run on natural gas.

However, Goyette is in a perfect position to take advantage of the United State’s desperate gamble, and he does so without conscience. To the Canadian public, Goyette is an environmental hero who invests millions in wind power and carbon sequestration. Unbeknownst to the masses, he’s unscrupulously involved in every dirty industry that will make him more money, in particular the oil sands of Athabasca, Alberta, and the Melville natural gas fields of the Canadian Arctic, over which he has full control.

Promising the U.S. government a nearly unlimited supply of the Melville natural gas to help solve the American energy crisis, and consequently also the financial crisis brought on by soaring oil prices, Goyette underhandedly signs a secret deal with the Chinese to instead sell them the gas at 10% above market value, with no intention of keeping his word to the U.S.

(In the real world, any business in breach of such a huge and important contract would probably not survive. But it’s a good set-up for an intriguing story line.)

Even so, the backstabbing of the United States as a business-partner is the least of Mitchell Goyette’s shenanigans. He also bribes high ranking Canadian officials, creates toxic waste that kills wildlife and people, pays to have property stolen or vandalized, and for his opposition to be assassinated.

Of course, what Goyette fails to take into consideration is Dirk Pitt, the hero of twenty novels by Clive Cussler, including this most recent installment. In the end, Pitt manages to wreak havoc with all of Goyette’s ill-willed plans.

Arctic Drift is a seamless joint effort between Clive Cussler and son, Dirk Cussler. It is difficult to tell their penmanship apart. Whatever sections of the book were written by Dirk Cussler, he did an outstanding job of emulating his father’s inimitable style. (Oxymoron intended!)

All in all, Arctic Drift is an excellent action thriller. It’s does not have the cover-to-cover non-stop action of some of the older Dirk Pitt novels by Cussler, but it does have quite enough action, plus the story line is brilliant and intriguing and keeps you wanting to read more. And as always in Dirk Pitt’s world, the villains are as clever as they are evil, and the heroes as pure as Arctic snow.

Britt Hellman lives in North Carolina with her spouse and three children. She operates her own copywriting company from home. Clive Cussler has been one of her favorite writers since reading his Trojan Odyssey, a Dirk Pitt Novel, in 2003. She writes reviews like this one on Arctic Drift, by Clive and Dirk Cussler, for the fun of sharing that excitement.

Self Defense Made Easy With The TASER C2

February 27th, 2010

If you have already bought a TASER C2 you probably are aware how easy it is to use. You probably took the time to read the owner manual and watch the training DVD that comes with each TASER C2. By doing this you became familiar with the most effective way to use the TASER C2. If you have just purchased your TASER C2 make sure you take the time and go through the training DVD and owner manual as soon as it arrives.

The Lithium Battery Cartridge that powers the unit has enough stored power to last for about 50 firings of the unit. A word of caution here, do not put the magazine cartridge into the C2 before the Power Cartridge. Put the battery cartridge in first and then put the magazine cartridge in. After you have inserted the battery cartridge a green light will light up to let you know the TASER C2 is operational.

The next thing you need to do is load your air cartridges. Make sure the safety switch cover is closed and that the TASER is pointing in a safe direction. Remove the cartridge cover at the front of the C2 and insert the cartridge until you hear it click. That indicates it is locked in place. Just to make sure, gently pull on the sides of the cartridge. There is not an “up” or “down” on the air cartridges so you don’t have to worry about putting the cartridge in wrong. This is also a nice feature for when you are under any stress so you can reload quickly if needed. Each cartridge carries the probes, wire, and compressed air. Do not try to open these cartridges.

Do not try to imitate the fancy hand positions we see on TV shows when someone is using a gun when you use the TASER C2. Always hold it just like you would a handgun, vertically. Slide the safety cover back so that the firing button is now exposed and aim at the assailant. Every C2, except for one model, comes equipped with a built in laser sighting device. This laser will place a red dot on your assailant when you point it at him. This dot represents the approximate landing position of the top probe. Try to shoot for the chest area. Make sure you are within 15 feet of your attacker. That is the maximum range of the probes.

The spread of the two probes varies with the distance you are away from an attacker. For the best results try to be about 7 to 10 feet away from him. At this distance your probe spread will be about 16 inches which is what we want. This will produce maximum effectiveness. Try to make sure you get more then a 4 inch spread of the probes.

You should always practice firing with the unit before you actually need to use it. You can practice across the room at targets to get the best feel for the C2. TASER units have little miniature barbs in them that will actually puncture the skin or penetrate clothing to send the electrical volts and wattage into the body. When you are ready to use a TASER C2, flip the safety switch to expose the firing button and you will see a light that will be the indicator that the gun is ready to fire.

Again, the TASER C2 is so well designed it is actually two personal protection products in one. One the TASER function, and two, a stun gun feature. If you have fired at an assailant and missed and do not have another magazine handy, you can apply the two electrodes at the end of the device directly to the attackers exposed skin, deliver a shock, and get away to safety.

As soon as your attacker is on the ground and incapacitated, place the TASER C2 on the ground and run away to a safe location. Do not try to retrieve your TASER C2. The manufacturer will replace your unit if you send them a copy of the police report of your attack.

If the officer issues a citation, the person is required to follow certain laws that go along with the ticket.
