October 10

Fed attorney Jason Weinstein explains GUNSTAT, and why some gun cases get The Rod:
"we've asked them [city police?] to track what you'd call 'federally significant convictions,' which are crimes of violence, felony drug crimes, that are the kind of prior offenses which increase your federal time to go above the five-year mandatory in the state court. So, people with two or more 'federally-significant' convictions are people who are looking at more federal time than state time. So, one of the things we do is, every two weeks, we go through and make sure that if there's someone with more than two federal convictions, that we've gotten a referral of that case."
Baltimore's 27th police-involved shooting was some crazy redneck shit! An officer making a traffic stop was dragged by the suspect SUV, until he shot the driver in the neck!

Ink updates include the closing of the cases of Shirley Cooper and Lorado Williams by exception.

Cops to sex offenders: no hole-in-the-candy-bowl tricks will be tolerated on Halloween!

Are y'all aware that the Crime Lab is so understaffed that good, clean prints taken from a (non-murder) crime scene sit around for 4-6 months because of the existing backlog ?

Hey, by the time they read the prints and identify the offender, the dude's gone onto social security and retired to Florida.

On that subject, Mr. Commissioner, please hire more damn officers. Quickly.

Thank you.
