ABOUT THE WEBMASTER
And Author Of The Book
Born In 1943, I Am Now A Retired Law Enforcement
Officer Whose Career Began in 1966.
In addition to attaining the rank of Sergeant with the MAPLE PLAIN (Minnesota) POLICE DEPARTMENT (now WEST HENNEPIN DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SAFETY), I joined the HENNEPIN COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE (Minnesota's Largest Sheriff's Office) in October 1969 as a Senior Deputy Sheriff and attained the rank of Sergeant in both the RADIO/COMMUNICATIONS DIVISION as well as in the WARRANT/FUGITIVE DIVISION.
While continuously maintaining a valid MINNESOTA POLICE OFFICER STANDARDS & TRAINING BOARD (P.O.S.T.) License until it's expiration in 1997, I retired from the Sheriff's Office in September 1984. I am also a former EMERGENCY MEDICAL TECHNICIAN (E.M.T.) and a UNITED STATES AIR FORCE FIRE PROTECTION SPECIALIST.
In 2012, I was elected to a four year term on the HAMBURG (Minnesota) CITY COUNCIL, I currently host THREE Websites as well as a regularly scheduled hour long, five times a week Internet Show and a series of Internet Programs that primarily feature current & retired Law Enforcement and other Public Safety Officials.To order a copy of my book,please CLICK HERE.
REMEMBER THESE TWO WORDS:
"PROBABLE CAUSE''
(You'll Be Hearing Them Again. Often.)
"PROBABLE CAUSE" requires more than a mere suspicion that a suspect committed a crime, but not an absolute certainty. "PROBABLE CAUSE" is the legal standard that requires facts or evidence in a given situation that would lead a reasonable person to believe that a suspect has committed a crime and that suspect accused did, in fact commit the crime of which he or she is accused. (In Illinois v. Gates, 462 U.S. 213, 232 (1983), the Court FAVORED A FLEXIBLE APPROACH, viewing 'PROABLE CAUSE' as a "practical, non-technical" standard that calls upon the factual and practical considerations of everyday life on which reasonable and prudent men [...] act". (Courts often adopt a broader, more flexible view of "PROBABLE CAUSE" when the alleged offenses are serious.)
Like maybe, for example; when DISHONEST and CORRUPT PUBLIC OFFICIALS ARE INVOLVED ??
Meet
PREJUDICIAL CARVER COUNTY ATTORNEY MARK METZ
Who Not Only
REFUSES TO PROSECUTE
PUBLIC OFFICIALS WHO VIOLATE THE LAW BECAUSE OF WHO THEY ARE, But METZ
& HIS STAFF, THEMSELVES; VIOLATED THE LAW As Well, And Were Able To
SURREPTITIOUSLY MANIPULATE
MINNESOTA'S CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM
To PREVENT THEMSELVES, And HAMBURG PUBLIC OFFICIALS;
From Being CRIMINALLY CHARGED For Their CRIMINAL ACTS !!
"THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM IN
OUR COUNTRY IS ONLY AS FAIR AND
IMPARTIAL AS THOSE WHO ADMINISTER IT."
MINNESOTA STATUTE 358.07 (1)
"You do swear that you will support the Constitution of the United States and that of the state of Minnesota, and will conduct yourself as an attorney and counselor at law in an upright and courteous manner, to the best of your learning and ability, with all good fidelity as well to the court as to the client, and that you will use no falsehood or deceit, nor delay any person's cause for lucre or malice. So help you God."
