He turns his suction dredge motor off and pulls back the dredge’s sluice box cover to reveal a sludge of dark sand and rocks filtered to the bottom. He tosses a fistful of the muck into a large green pan.   Continue reading “Background on Josephine County mining: An end to dredge work?”

The co-owner of a Josephine County mining claim at the center of a land-use dispute with the U.S. Bureau of Land Management says an armed security presence by members of the Oath Keepers movement has “taken on a life of its own,” and he is pleading for calm after supporters apparently phoned in threats to BLM employees.

“We don’t need any more volunteers, we’re not under attack, this is not the Bundy Ranch,” said Sugar Pine Mine co-owner Rick Barclay. “Please stop calling the BLM and threatening their personnel.”   Continue reading “Sugar Pine Mine co-owner: “Please stop calling the BLM and threatening their personnel””

Cherished family heirlooms were among the 21 firearms Michael Roberts surrendered to the Torrance Police Department in 2010, after his doctor filed a restraining order against him.

The court order was the result of a dispute Roberts had with a member of the doctor’s staff and, after Roberts pleaded no contest, the matter was resolved. Yet, even though he filed the proper Law Enforcement Gun Release paperwork on four separate occasions, obtained clearance from the California Department of Justice and had two court orders commanding the return of his guns, police refused to hand them over.   Continue reading “Right to Bear Arms?

WASHINGTON –  Four former Blackwater security guards face decades in prison when they are sentenced Monday for their roles in a 2007 shooting of Iraqi civilians.

Three of the guards — Dustin Heard, Evan Liberty and Paul Slough — face mandatory, decades-long sentences because of firearm convictions. A fourth, Nicholas Slatten, faces a life sentence after being found guilty of first-degree murder.

The men were charged in the deaths of 14 Iraqis at Nisoor Square, a crowded traffic circle in downtown Baghdad. The killings caused an international uproar, and the men were convicted in October after a legal fight that spanned years.   Continue reading “Former Blackwater guards to be sentenced for 2007 shooting of Iraqi civilians”

Another question brought up in Sorola’s motion to suppress evidence was also addressed. At issue is whether he was detained, at which point he would have to be read his Miranda rights, which they did not do, or simply stopped for investigative purposes. The latter would be what is referred to as a Terry Stop. It is worth noting that a Terry Stop is defined as:

A brief detention of a person on reasonable suspicion of involvement in criminal activity but short of probable cause for arrest. To have reasonable suspicion that would justify a stop, police must be able to point to “specific and articulable facts” that would indicate to a reasonable person that a crime has been, is being, or is about to be committed.   Continue reading “Camp Lone Star – Act Two: The Contradictions Scene 2: To Detain, or Not to Detain?
