SSCC #375: Update

William H. Smith, 43, was arrested for operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated (OWI) – a 93-day misdemeanor – after he crashed his vehicle on July 7, 2012, in Chippewa County.

According to test results, Smith’s blood alcohol content was .13 at the time of his arrest compared to the .08 drunk driving standard.

William’s trial began Tuesday and concluded Thursday. The six-person jury deliberated on the misdemeanor charge for two hours before reaching Thursday’s verdict of not guilty.

It appears though that most likely he got away not because he wasn’t guilty, but because of the safeguards in the law for the innocent.  For you see his brothers in harms mishandled material and the process of getting the warrant so he could escape the first trial and it interjected reasonable doubt of the second.

Again, see the fact they had to get prosecutors from out of the county.  So don’t worry he’ll be back on the roads in no time in a tax payer funded vehicle.

Because when you drink and drive while you’re a cop in your own jurisdiction, you can rely on the fact that everyone you work with will protect you.

What a View

Last weekend on our way home from Spokane the wife and I stopped by Steptoe Butte on the way back home.  I took hundreds of pictures for panoramic as well as pictures for use in calendars etc.

It’s going to take some time but eventually I’ll get them all done.  In the mean time here’s the one panoramic I’ve done as well as some of the other solo pics.

This is only a thumbnail of about half the panoramic.

[For full context you probably need to go watch “End of Watch”.  Which is honestly a comedy with some emotional strings of brotherhood tied in.

Also know that Jefferson feels about the same way I do about cops.  We don’t hate them, we under stand their purpose, but a decent number of them seem to sign away their independent thought when putting on the badge.  The best example is the speech at the beginning of the movie.  There are a lot of cops that feel exactly like that speech instead of saying, “That law isn’t right and I shouldn’t be enforcing it.”  They don’t see themselves as the check and balance they should be in the system.

Well I was chatting with Jefferson about some other things and mentioned I was watching the comedy on his recommendation.  I made a comment related to the end, I’m not going to spoil it, and the above was his response.

I couldn’t stop laughing until I started coughing. –B ]

Here’s another bad one.  Be warned this is in the form of a Ohio Supreme court decision.  The good thing is the conviction was upheld but he wasn’t convicted of nearly enough.

Because the way to get laid when you’re a cop is to threaten a kid if he doesn’t confess you’ll send their mom to jail, then after coerce the mom for sex to get her innocent kid out.

I will not comment on this horror story.  If you want to, go read it.  The following names are monsters and the state created the power for them to do what they did.
