The forum is open to Democrats, Libertarians, Republicans, Tea Party Members, Constitution Party Members Independents and members of general public.  The forum focus is mainly on good government issues that affect Faulkner County residents.    NOTE:  Conservatives, as a whole tend to favor smaller more efficient government while Liberals tend to favor large less efficient government.  Conservatives focus on life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness (less governmental micromanagement).  Liberals seem to focus on less protection for life, less individual liberty in favor of larger government and fewer rights to pursue personal agendas.   This month&#8217;s meeting was held at the Catfish &#38; More Restaurant on the north side of Conway, Arkansas.  The local owned and operated restaurant has an excellent meeting room and top-notch southern cuisine.  At this meeting the members of the Quorum Court were invited and many accepted the invitation.  The meeting was lively cordial and informative.  Attendees at the meeting submitted written questions, which were read to the Quorum Court Members who agreed to answer questions from [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[by Justice Jerry L. Roberts   The Good &#8216;Ole Boy System Many times, over my 27 years in law enforcement and the last 8 years as a citizen, I have often wondered how corruption in government begins.  It has puzzled me to no end.  I finally asked God for the wisdom to understand this perplexing matter which occurs all too often in our political lives. Then, I realized just where and how this events happens so now I&#8217;ll share this insight with you.  The concept is just not all that difficult to understand when the realization comes to light for you.  Knowing how this happens is so critical and so important that I simply must share it with my fellow mankind.  Because once a person realizes when and where the line gets crossed, they can protect themselves and others from crossing the line from integrity into corruption.   The good &#8216;ole boy system is mainly about stepping to into help someone recover from making a mistake.  What usually happens is the the offender is given a break from the penalty of the offense in hopes that the lesson is learned and the offense will not be commmited again.  That is [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[by Ron Bartels, Ph.D.   Is This Letter The Smoking Gun?   On June 23rd, 2009, I received a copy of a letter written by H.G. Foster, former prosecutor in Conway, Arkansas.  The letter was written to Former Searcy County Arkansas Municipal Judge Jerry Patterson on August 26, 1991.  The document could well be the smoking gun needed to reopen this cold case murder, which was recently closed by Judge Charles E. Clausen on June 8th, 2009.    The letter is just one of over 6,400 documents being reviewed by Ron Ward, Janie&#8217;s grief-stricken father.  The letter is from special prosecutor Tim William&#8217;s investigative files.  The files were recently opened to the public in June.  Apparently, not enough care was given to the case file.  It is difficult to imagine that important documents were overlooked.  Could important pieces of evidence be purposely disregarded?  This question needs an answer.   Of course we know that the Judge closed the file but what we do not know is whether ALL the evidence was considered in this case.  Justice Times will stay on this case as there is a lot of additional evidence to be reviewed.  We have more documents in possession with more to come.  Justice must be served, [...]]]></description>

It appears the long arm of the law may be getting quite a bit longer, as courts all the way to D.C. are granting police more power to invade people&#8217;s privacy. For years now, federal courts have been nibbling away at Fourth Amendment protections, allowing more and more police to intrude into historically protected places. The latest &#8211; an 8th Circuit decision &#8211; even permits poking into public restrooms. Here&#8217;s what happened…     In the wee hours of the night, an Iowa convenience store clerk called local Cedar Rapids police when he suspected a couple of entering the convenience store bathroom to have sex. One must realize of course that his suspicion was no shocker given that the store was located in a red light district. In fact, the location gave his suspicion some reasonability. Of course, when police did arrive, they knocked on the bathroom door and got no answer. But, it should be noted that they did not announce themselves as police officers…yet.

Ciavarella and Michael T. Conahan, profited from kickback schemes involving the construction and operation of juvenile facilities.   Both judges accepted plea bargains to serve 87 months in prison for their kickback schemes which netted them over $2.5 million.  The financial scheme was much more than just the money they received in kickbacks.  It is what they did to increase the kickbacks that made things much worse.     Over a period of years, both judges operated the Wilkes-Barre, PA juvenile court system like a money machine.  Youthful offenders brought before them without an attorney were given hearings that lasted just a few minutes and then were sent off to the juvenile prison [...]]]></description>

They said that?  Yup, they sure did!    California said it would immediately appeal the final ruling to the U.S. Supreme Court.  &#8220;Duh, duh dug,&#8221; said Bubba.   Trend-setting California, the Golden State, has an immense prison system responsible for nearly 170,000 inmates, and their care has become a major political and budget issue as officials weigh multi-billion costs of improved facilities against death and illness behind bars.   State officials say new doctors, nurses and prison rules have improved care and cut the dangers of living behind bars.  (At great expense to taxpayers.)  (Are these dopers ever made to work somewhere that they could get their wages garnished by the taxpayers to help cover their costs? &#8211; Of course not!)   [...]]]></description>

Seconds later, the door opened and in walked police officers who found Hudson amid 23 bags of cocaine and a gun. At his trial, Hudson&#8217;s lawyers successfully suppressed the evidence found that fateful night, on the grounds that it was obtained via an unreasonable search. The case was appealed to the Michigan Supreme Court, which overruled that decision, stating that disallowing the evidence was not an appropriate remedy for violating proper search [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[by Monica Sanders &#8211; Sponsored by Legalzoom How to Make a Self-Defense Claim Stick   Better to learn about this information and not need it than to need it and not know it.    Could you make successful a self-defense claim? In American criminal law, one of the most popular defenses you can claim is self-defense. Many times this happens in assault cases. However, it is most notoriously and many times most effectively, used as a homicide defense. So how do you make a self-defense claim? It depends on where you end up in court. It Depends Some jurisdictions define criminal defenses based on a common law system. This means the definition evolved through a series of legal cases and court interpretation. Eventually this very literal trial and error process created a legal standard that most courts end up using. Essentially the defendant has to meet an objective standard of showing that using force was necessary and that he or she had an immediate fear of death or serious bodily harm. This means you have to show that the average person would have reacted the same way given the circumstances. In some places, the law requires a person to retreat, [...]]]></description>

The evening&#8217;s memories are quickly put to rest by the sight of flashing lights behind you. In a moment, you find yourself responding to the orders of a police officer. You show him your registration, allow him to glance around with his flashlight, even step out. Then he asks that you pop the trunk. You may be wondering if the police officer has the right to ask you to do this and whether you have the right to say no. Well, the answer is: it depends.   The Fourth Amendment Protects Us from Unreasonable Search &#38; Seizure The Fourth Amendment, as it is generally understood, protects you from unreasonable search and seizure. The Supreme Court has looked at a number of cases involving Fourth Amendment rights and warrantless searches. In most instances, the officer can conduct a search if they have probable cause to do so.

		<description><![CDATA[by Michelle Kaminsky &#8211; Sponsored by Legalzoom Clearing The Air About Search &#38; Seizure (It is always changing) Many times we hear confusing stories about lawful versus unlawful search and seizure issues.  It seems every few months, the legal system makes some refinements so it pasy to stay up to date. Just from watching legal dramas on television, many people know that the police need a warrant to search your house. This is accurate, for the most part, as the Fourth Amendment protects private citizens from unreasonable searches and seizures. But did you also know that under the exclusionary rule generally anything seized during an illegal search cannot be used as evidence in court? As a result of the exclusionary rule, there are important exceptions to the warrant requirement that have developed under the law that everyone should know about. Let&#8217;s start with the basics first. What is a search warrant? If a judge is convinced that there is &#8220;probable cause&#8221; of either criminal activity or contraband at a place to be searched, he or she will issue and sign a search warrant�a court order that allows the police to search a specific location for specified objects at a specific [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[by Ron Bartels What You Need To Know Now! Plus Instant Access To The Life-Saving Resource   Just a few days ago, a brave woman, Tanisha Cross age 20, in Lithonia, Georgia used the stun gun she received from her husband for Christmas to assist a Dekalb County Police Officer who was being attacked by a street thug.   She was riding with her mother to Wal-Mart to do some shopping when she noticed the officer being attacked.  having her stun gun handy in her baby&#8217;s diaper bag, she asked her mother to pull the car over so she could assist the officer.   The police office had already lost his radio to the assailant and the attacker had also rubbed pepper spray onto the officer&#8217;s eyes and face.  Tanish Cross zapped the street thug on the arms and legs giving the office, who was protecting his firearm from the thug, the composure needed to regain control with the additional assistance of a nearby security guard.   This is just one more reason why citizens should be well equipped for self defense.   One of our sponsors offers an ideal stun gun that also has a small but bright flashlight.   [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[by Ron Bartels Criminal Justice &#8211; Crooked Cops Partner Wore A Wire - FBI Listened Regularly Carried Crack Cocaine To Plant Mahmoud Shamah, 29, was also accused of working with his partner, Richard Doroniuk, to raid a storage locker in 2006 and steal $30,000. The money was placed there by the FBI as part of a sting operation, and the theft was videotaped. The jury watched grainy images from undercover video of the two Morgan Park District tactical officers sifting through the storage locker, the Chicago Tribune reported last month. Doroniuk testified during Shamah&#8217;s trial before U.S. District Judge Robert Gettleman that police officers regularly carried crack to plant on suspects, paid informants for dubious information and even bribed a judge to approve an arrest warrant.  How can we protect ourselves from crooked cops when they can even get away with bribing a judge? Shamah&#8217;s partner was wearing a wiretap for the FBI and captured a conversation in which the two agreed to take $100 each out of $420 they had seized from a suspect in an-witnessed traffic stop.  This is why there needs to be a right for persons who have goods confiscated to request their own witnesses prior [...]]]></description>

Sletrab DOJ Continues 10th Amendment Violations NOTE: According to the Tenth Amendment, the government of the United States has the power to regulate only matters specifically delegated to it by the Constitution. Over the Medical Marijuana Raids Recently, I became aware of and read this eye opening letter, which Judiciary Committee chairman John Conyers (D-MI) sent to DEA&#8217;s acting administrator Michele Leonhart. Considering the infinite variety of questions one might have to ask in the hopes of understanding what the heck the DEA thinks it&#8217;s doing, Conyers does a pretty good job of covering the bases. His questions are so good, it is possible that someone else may have helped write this letter. As Citizens, we need to look at how much the DEA is spending on the drug war.  Cut all of that out of the budget, and turn the regulations over to the State Governments. The War on Drugs has done nothing except drive drug sales deeper underground and hurt all of the following: Sick People Needing Medical Marijuana Taxpayers who support enforcement Innocent victims of over-the-top law enforcement Families of slain and injured officers Families of slain and injured victims of rouge cops The War [...]]]></description>
