“Hampering defense counsel’s ability to fully and effectively defend clients constitutes a Constitutional outrage. The system breaks down when the 6th Amendment right to a fair trial loses its value.”

Hampering the ability to Defend What? Right to a What Fair Trial? In case you are merely too clueless to pick up blatant facts made evident in the video, the Incarcerated Dude in the horizontal pin striped suit was NOT on Trial! He was already CONVICTED and his attorney was arguing against the “Consecutive” (as opposed to “Concurrent”) Sentencing!

ALL written correspondence by any Incarcerated Inmate is Moderated and NOT “privileged”.

Furthermore, his Own Attorney admitted in open Court that ALL written correspondence from the Inmate had been issued from “Jail Mail” and that her papers had already been supposedly “unstapled” and earlier submitted to the Deputies for Review. The Deputy upon looking at what appeared to be a “hand written” letter / communication by the Inmate, simply called another Deputy over to take such and merely make a Copy of Same (ie DOING his JOB) and returned the original back to the attorney.

Re: #90 WTH? How clueless can you be? There is absolutely NOTHING even remotely relevant to this Matter dealing with 18 USC 285

Seriouosly, anyone so compelled to demonstrate that they are merely an IGNORANUS (Clueless and an A**hole) and all of you latent Anarchists posing as “libertarians”, do the rest of us a courtesy, and take a long slow drink from a tall cup of STHU!

It is better to remain silent and merely thought a fool, then to speak and remove all doubt. Abraham Lincoln

We are all born ignorant, but one must work hard to remain stupid.

Wisdom is the principal thing; Therefore get wisdom. And in all your

All Rights Reserved

It is the common fate of the indolent to see their rights become a
prey to the active. The condition upon which God hath given liberty
to man is eternal vigilance; which condition if he break, servitude
is at once the consequence of his crime and the punishment of his
guilt. John Philpot Curran (1750–1817)

Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have
found out the exact measure of injustice and wrong which will be
imposed upon them, and these will continue till they are resisted
with either words or blows, or with both. The limits of tyrants are
prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress.
Frederick Douglass, “If There Is No Struggle, There Is No Progress”

I’m with you there man. I worked for about six months for USPS. The management does their best to fire you. It’s like their promotions depend on it.

I was sitting in my truk having just put mail in a mailbox. I was getting ready to drive to the next one when I noticed someone standing right behind my truck in the rear view mirror (yes, they have them though they go around the side not through the back). I put it in neutral (no park), put the emergency brake on and stood directly at the door to my truck to peer around behind. It was a manager hiding back there and I was fired because I was “out of my vehicle with the engine running”.

Fuck ‘em finished college, got my IT degree and now I get paid much better to travel around the world fixing IT problems.

A union of people or groups competing for benefits/rules without going to the Fist of the State is fine. Instead, we have statist unions.

Who knows what will happen because of two deputies stealing a defense attorneys files?

This is great, its got the momentum going to where this could be a portion of American History unfolding.

Even Arapio coudn’t possiby be stupid enough to have him on the streets

It is a myth, contingent upon defining a “bad cop” as only those that are guilty of the most serious criminal activity and corruption on the job. They constitute probably 10-20% of the police force – the types who fabricate police reports, beat people, steal drugs out of the evidence locker, or commit major crimes on the job.

If you broaden the definition though a “bad cop” is also any who:

- lies on traffic ticket reports to get revenue convictions
- uses his flashers and sirens to run traffic lights to get around rush hour or speed out of convenience
- declines to ticket other cops out of “professional courtesy”
- looks the other way when he sees evidence of police corruption by a colleague

If you include those things – and you should as they plainly meet the definition of corruption in any other job situation – then I’d estimate damn near 90-95% of cops are “bad cops.” Hence the problem we are in…
