After appearing at Orange County Court (myself), I found that I was not on the docket on the date I was ordered to be there. After going to the criminal operations department, I was instructed to go to the district attorney's office. It was there that I learned that they had not filed and that my case was under review. Finding this to be strange, I looked around the Internet and found this to be a common practice in Ventura County. One incident included a woman from Huntington Beach who was filed on 4 days before the statute of limitations had expired. Is this going to become standard operating procedure here in Orange County? What about our rights for a speedy trial? Or... is that another constitutional right going down the drain as well? Dear Lawrence Taylor:

Sig Heil! We have to understand right is right, and wrong is wrong, no matter who is involved. I say tape a suspect and see if it becomes a conviction. If not then false arrest charges applies. Justice should not be blind. I can understand cops helping cops, just as nazis helped one another. Sig Heil! We have to understand right is right, and wrong is wrong, no matter who is involved.

She will never be convicted of this crime because of the wat it was handled. The prosecutor will have to prove without a reasonable dought and that can not and will not happen without evidence. She has been saved by her buddies. She can be charged but they will not stick without evidence. Unfortunately this officer has a way out.

If the officer admits to it, will she then admit to how many drinks she had and will the D.A. do the retrograde theory on her. What if she only had two drinks, and the retrograde theory shows she was not drunk at the time. And what will become of the players in this sordid cop affair? will they be prosecuted for obstruction in a dui case? News at 11........
