Hot Pursuit Is also way to search
As if the risk to Public Safety is sp great,Courts will uphold an emergent search and subsequint results from search..
In NJ, if I recieve report of a Gun Crime,and caller states License plate and other BOLO info,most likely Prosecutors Office always Charges the Accused w no cooberrating evidence other then 1Witness/victim and w a 92% conviction rate its plead out, ive always had issue w our 2C code in NJ as a Cop.. Ive seen Jammed up Cops be accused of Sex Assaults loae it all only to get a reversal of dismissed w Predjudice by Ct of Appeals..
Now that im retired, I own a Bail Bond Agency in 2009 an Explorer from my old Dept was accused of Sex Assault, Initially the Det Sgt was on Vacay but his Det charged him w 1st deg Agg Sex Assault ( penetration against will) and the Lazy Det nvr asked vic/witness if she said NO, Stop or if she ever felt in fear of her Life, all answered no and her answer was no Id work w hin tommorow, still kid sat in Jail for 16 days, Lost $10k to us, and he had a Spec Officers Position at Shore that Summer and Obvioysly they told him reapply nxt season and he hasnt been invited back.. Once Sup returned, he expidited to Grand Jury and it was no billed and dropped but arrest is still on file as it costs $2500 to have expunged.. If im him id aue w a condition of dropping if Hired full time, as if something like that occurs and u get a ***** Bird Lazy Officer and your Poor, well you will screwed.. If the Det Sgt wasnt that Cop who cared, this could have went on for 2 years.. NJ is Guilt and prove innocent here as you have no defense at a Grand Jury hearing, sometimes the Direct Present ( No Charges or Green Shert, ) the Prosecutor presents hia veraion of events to a closed room secret Jury of 23 Paneled Members that sit Quarterly, well they see same guys presenting cases they Bond and he takes them wherever he wiahes to go on any case, only takes 12 of em to INDICT on whatever sticks.. In Phila Pa, its opposite as the State has a higher Burden of Proof atvall Levels and They have diamissals and juries dont believe Officers juat cauae he said it was true...
In 2000 my bro had an issue, while off Duty, he wouldnt turn in hia partner as he too had slight involvement, anyhow they were to have said to have violated Civil rights of an AA Women, tape showed Diff, and dismissed, that wasnt all, They then were to have bren stopping all AA, It too was False, MV Stops were like 30% of any given month.
NJ STate police were undr seige for profiling issues at same time, They Direct presented a case, they lost Trial, But brought up that the NJ Pres of the NAACP sat on Same panel that indicted them, The Lawyer thought surely the Trial Judge wld dismiss, he demanded to know how they knew and they would t tell him as 2Sheriff Off thought that was wrong, Anyway he sealed his opinion for appeal later, well they lost trial but raised so many idsues on appeal that should have tossed case,
Appeals Ct pf NJ didnt address eithr and sentencing was initially reduced, at month 31 Both were immidiately Released w all Charges diamissed on the Fact NJ Supreme Ct stated, Vote was 12-11 to indict, One Grand Juror askwd all racially charged Questions, As the Lead Inv told her no there wasnt any Biased incident as had evidence led to that he would have Looked into it as both werent members of KKK, no epithats were used etc etc, anyhow She says, 2 White Officers Locking up a Disproprtianlly amt of AA men isnt a Racist Sign to you...
I would love to know the sealed opinion of Trial Judge, my brother lost his career, 31mths of Freedom, his wife, His home, and he wasnt doung profiling as at 1am doing 30mph ovr Speed Limit in opposite Direction I cldnt tell if a Tranny Martian was operating a vehicle later consented to search had 1kilo heroin, Mari Cash and othr Drugs, Once they were indicted that case was tossed..
My brother got his Job Back, After sitting in a Cell for 2.5 yrs he wasnt mt a Cop that i saw definition of in Dictionary, If my fam had a crime u want him responding, He cared about Nothing, he drank and Drank and ate his Gun his partner went to anothr Dept whooped his Wife arse and loat hia Badge, But my point is All States are Diff, some actually believw it should be burden of the Accuser to prove Aa Charged beyond a reasonable Doubt.
