Kenyatta Hillman was pulled over for the simple cause of speeding, but things took a turn for the worse when the cop claimed he smelled marijuana. Using this excuse, he searched the man’s vehicle and came up with, not pot, but an Xbox.
I guess the cop decided that Kenyatta was demographically easy to push around [...]

While perhaps it isn’t the most popular viewpoint to have, I do think that prisons (and prison guards) have a duty to protect the inmates they are in charge of. I’m sure many people out there would say something to the effect of, “Why worry about them? They’re the ones who got themselves sin prison [...]

A 61 year-old woman was arrested by a passing policeman for merely asking “why”.
She and a few friends standing on a sidewalk discussing an upcoming funeral when the police officer stopped and asked them to move. Given the fact that 60 year-old women aren’t the usual suspects when it comes to disturbing the peace (with [...]

A 78-year-old Florida grandmother had an unfortunate, and close-up, look at the state’s penal system when she was arrested by police. She was ticketed and arrested by the officers for driving on a suspended license and the elderly woman ended up with a 15 day stay in the county jail.

I’ve gotta say that this tasering is getting out of hand. I guess police feel like they can taser just anyone they feel like. But Chicago police have managed to hit a new low.
A diabetic man was in trouble and EMTs, along with a police escort, were called. While suffering from a diabetic seizure, the [...]

It involved Wang (David) Chen, a grocer in the city’s bustling Chinatown district downtown. The 35-year-old father of two children has become a cause celebre among storeowners. His fate has also convinced many that the law is an ass.
The story began last May, when Chen’s security camera caught serial shoplifter Anthony Bennett stealing $60 worth [...]

Perhaps this doesn’t necessarily belong here on this blog, but I do want to express myself in the case of Anthony Sowell. The entire nation has watched in horror as the body count has risen this week from 6 to 11. The entire case has been more than strange, what with neighbors reporting strange odors [...]

Cops have been caught before using excessive violence in unnecessary situations, but this one takes the cake. A 15 year old student,who is in the school’s special education program, was berated by a pair of cops for having his shirt untucked. For whatever reason the cops thought “necessary”, they began beating the young man over [...]

This story just starts off bad. It begins with a home invasion by an armed burglar. That’s certainly not a situation that any person wants to deal with! And of course, when you are in that situation, you call 911. The emergency response organization then send the police to the location and they save the [...]

It turns out that when you were thinking that it didn’t seem fair you got that ticket for running a red light, you might have been right. Evidently some U.S. cities have been guilty of shortening their yellow lights at traffic intersections, namely intersections with cameras on them. But why would they do something like [...]
