efs4ever 3 #127 July 25, 2006 OK folks, I just wanted to bring this to the top again. I'm in Dallas, at this moment, at the Westin Galleria Hotel. The Advanced Criminal Law Course is on, and Buck Files, the DA in Smith County, Texas (Tyler) is at the podium talking about recent decisions from the Fifth Circuit. He identified U.S. v Lopez-Moreno, 420 F. 3rd 420 as one of the most important recent decisions. He repeated MY RANT. This is the license plate case. 420 / 420? (The citation numbers) Another issue on the horizon is federal forfeiture for drug cases. (even SMALL amounts) In one situation a lottery ticket was purchased with cash from the same money bag the defendant used in his drug bidness. Bye bye 5 million. ____________________________________Russell M. Webb D 7014 Attorney at Law 713 385 5676 https://www.tdcparole.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

efs4ever 3 #129 July 25, 2006 QuoteThat to me seems an aberation to the US Constitution. As a criminal defense lawyer I've seen the Constitution whittled away. The appellate courts, right up to the Supremes are responsible. "Conservative" courts. Any one ever been stopped for some pretextual reason and then have the police request permission to search? (or just search anyway?) I know Waltappel was jacked up one time on the way to the DZ in Anahuac. They had him profiled as a drug courier. I remember a load of jumpers, in a Cessna 411, coming back from a Florida Boogie in the 80s cut across the gulf returning to Red Bird Airport in Dallas and was met by a SWAT team who searched everything (didn't pop the reserves, though) Does it bother you that, in Texas, you could be ARRESTED for you plastic license plate frame? What about the fact that the legislature passed a law prohibiting that kind of arrest and GOV. RICK PERRY vetoed it? and on and on and on and on..... What would Kinky do? SIGN THE LEGISLATION... _______Russell M. Webb D 7014 Attorney at Law 713 385 5676 https://www.tdcparole.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
