This is not at all how the syste is set up. Its a disguise. You really guilty until you prove yourself innocent. Examples- Jailed before trial, bonds, plea bargain ect. If yu wer truly innocent until proven guilty, then we wouldnt need theese to force people into pleading guilty so we dont charge them with a higher crime. Plea bargain is a joke made to make courts more stream line. If the person is truly guilty, then prove it in court. So many times the jail system and plea bargains are for prosecutors that do not have the evidance to convict someone so throw everything in the back at you to see what sticks. The legal system in this country is a laughing joke. More times than not, if u have a badge, you are above the law. this has been seen time and time again. Polise officers have a tough job, no doubt but most times they make a small problem into a big problem because of out of control officers who do not know how to dael with the general public. I have the badge I make the law mentallity. I have seen officers that are worst than the people they are arresting. Stop bad cops, even when caught on video, they go free and continue thier out of control riegn on the general public. Who polices the police. Oh I forgot, the good ole boy foundation.

Lack of, or bungling of the evidence, plea bargaining, or biased juries (OJ, for example) are just a few of the reasons one might get off despite being guilty as Hell. Still, I don't think it is the duty of justice system or police to "warn" the public about someone who "might" be guilty of a crime. Yet, I seem to recall a time a year or so ago when the Chief was quoted in the media warning the public about someone he felt was a threat to the community because of past offenses for which the person had already served time and had no charges pending against him. That had to be a tough call for the chief, and I don't necessarily think he was wrong. At least, his intentions were good.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7225570644228196036.post-32180950576272903702009-01-11T14:33:00.000-06:002009-01-11T14:33:00.000-06:00"The concept that a person is innocent until prove..."The concept that a person is innocent until proven guilty is fundamental to our system of justice."<BR/><BR/>Another reason why I think the opponents of CCW really need to rethink their position on the issue.Tango Juliethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07593296126387219845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7225570644228196036.post-6369075036824688452009-01-11T10:11:00.000-06:002009-01-11T10:11:00.000-06:00There is a huge difference between what most would...There is a huge difference between what most would classify as a "violent offender" and some other sex offenders. Sex offense can sometimes be a broad generalizaton. It could involve anything from a consentual relationship between a 19 year old and a 15 year old (illegal still, yes, but hardly "violent") to a person convicted of child sexual assault. To have "notifications" of sex offenders may cause some confusion. While I, like the rest of you, want to keep my children safe, I won't jump to any conclusions without further research. And yes, the public NSP sex offender website: http://www.nsp.state.ne.us/sor/find.cfm<BR/>does only show High Risk/Level 3 offenders. Only law enforcement have access to lower level offender info.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7225570644228196036.post-20216981592320288902009-01-11T04:44:00.000-06:002009-01-11T04:44:00.000-06:00I did have the bank call once they got an oK!I did have the bank call once they got an oK!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7225570644228196036.post-25542470930597297402009-01-10T22:41:00.000-06:002009-01-10T22:41:00.000-06:00http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,479045,00.html...http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,479045,00.html<BR/><BR/>Best to go down with the ship.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7225570644228196036.post-41074489291082381932009-01-09T19:01:00.000-06:002009-01-09T19:01:00.000-06:00I really agree with being notified about repeat bu...I really agree with being notified about repeat burglary, auto theft, robbery, etc. offenders who move into my neighborhood ... or those who have any serious repeat violence whatever the motive.

If we're talking about the former charges, somebody probably needs to do some notifying or other protective care. With the latter type, especially if treatment is happening, it doesn't seem like that normally represents serious danger to the community plus this can make a nightmare tragedy even worse for everyone already hurting so badly. Lots of stories out there on that. Isn't that why Nebraska law makes a distinction?
