Crimefile Was Invited To A Fabulous Holliday Party

Westwood, Los Angeles, CA—I’m a member of an exclusive club. Membership is earned by honorable service in the Armed Forces of The United States. Most of the dopes in our Congress view America’s military veterans as cramping their lifestyle. That as they’ve drastically cut benefits to the very people they count on to allow them to exist and hold office in a free country.

In LA as in other communities there are fine people that appreciate the contribution American made to military service. Whether they were drafted like I was or they who have enlisted the risk of life, limb and the loss of personal freedom that military service requires is a sacrifice.

To hold this event several hundred contributors and volunteers made a sacrifice of their own. These folks these are some finest, real Americans that make this country strong and free. No man would fight for his country without the love and support of neighbors, friends and family.

Every veteran including myself received love, gifts, a tasty holiday meal, and were entertained by the best L.A. has to offer.

For all of my fabulous hosts and entertainers let me say, THANK YOU!

Nevada Reverses Kidnapping Case And It Will Help O.J. Simpson

Las Vegas, NV—This Sunday morning O.J. Simpson faces what may be the rest of his life in a Nevada prison. Odds are that without divine intervention the 61 year-old may not live long enough to make parole. He must serve at least nine years and parole is far from guaranteed after serving that minimum portion of the 9 to 33 year sentence.

There is however a somewhat recent case that reversed a kidnapping conviction on a much more egregious case. This suggests that Simpson was over-charged and over-convicted for what should have been a simple armed robbery.

An appeal citing this November 2006 case, may well get Simpson a second chance at a much lighter sentence. Appeals move very slowly and Simpson will be sitting in prison for as long as a couple of years before the Nevada Supreme Court hears and decides his case. In case you were wondering Nevada has no Court of Appeals so his case goes directly to the Nevada Supreme Court.

Simpson’s co-defendant, Stewart will get the same benefit from the ruling. Rather then win new trials these convicts will be re-sentenced on the lesser charge.

Chicago Parking Meter Outrage Fix Is Simple

Chicago, IL—Chicago’s Mayor and Aldermen approved a plan to make Chicagoans even more miserable than they are as some of the most overtaxed citizens in the nation.

They are going to let private vendors handle the meters and soon to be increased fees. This hurts business, jobs and citizens alike. Chicago's rank and file cops hate this meter extortion too.

What’s the solution you ask? That’s just too simple, crazy glue, washers, and courage. Hammers and pipe cutter work wonders too. If the meters are destroyed they can’t be used to extort money from anyone. If the cost of meter repair exceeds the revenue they are gone. That’s pure and simple.

The only question I ask Americans is whether or not the participants in the Boston Tea Party would tolerate parking meter extortion by any government?

Don't snitch on meter vandals!

If you’re picked to sit on a jury for someone accused of parking meter vandalism simply acquit that defendant. Shake his or her hand after the trial and government may just get the message!

BATFE Gun Trace Data Is Worthless As An Indicator Of Criminal Use Of Firearms.

To suggest that all guns traced by BATFE were used in a crime is a flat ignorant statement at best or an outright lie. Gun control groups are always calling traced guns “guns used in crimes” when they are not.

Gun control groups whine that most all traced guns come from the gun friendly Southern states. That’s true of all firearms lawfully moved in America. Distributors and wholesalers simply don’t want to set up shop where they may be forced out of business through over-restrictive regulation.

The BATFE has the ability to trace firearms manufactured or sold through dealers after 1968. The reasons for gun traces are as simple as trying to identify the owner of a gun that is believed to be lost or stolen. Also included in trace searches are guns turned in to police by people disposing of the possessions of their dead relatives. Most often, entire inventories of gun dealers become the subject of an investigative fishing expedition on a spot check basis. The vast majority of gun traces don’t involve a crime at all.

Traces are conducted by BATFE agents or inspectors who simply follow the paper trail for the guns. They begin with the manufacturer’s information of the date it was moved to a wholesale distributor. Then the wholesale distributor has records of the licensed dealers the gun was transferred to. From there The dealers maintain a lot of information on the retail buyer aside from name and address they have physical descriptions and information as to how they were cleared and by who at the FBI for the purchase.

The last known possessor of the firearm is contacted to see if he or she still has the firearm or for the disposition of it.

Guu traces can be requested of BATFE by any law enforcement agency for any reason.

Many thousands of weapons are found to have been confiscated by police, ordered destroyed by courts and still find their way back on to the streets of America. Thousands more guns including machine guns have been reported lost or stolen by government agencies such as the BATFE that's had constant problems safeguarding their own guns.

Is Your State Broke And Begging For A Bailout?

Sacramento, CA—Our favorite Terminator, turned Governor, Arnold Schwarzenegger has declared a fiscal emergency saying California can’t pay its bills after February. He says they will pay vendors with an IOU.

That’s not surprising on a state run by Left Wing people that look to enslave their citizens to pay for so much crap nobody wants or needs. Now they look to people in more frugal states to pay for the mess they made.

I have a simple solution to help states like California and Illinois through their difficult times. My plan will reduce lots emissions, and also help save the planet. I propose this as a long term solution with no serious side-effects.

If this is an emergency like Governor Schwarzenegger any solution should be on the table.

Front vehicle license plates are of limited value, create pollution during manufacture and most importantly burns money. Many states like Arizona do fine without them.

Legislatures used to meet only once in two years. Now they furiously make new unneeded laws non-stop. They need to return to the old way and save us all serious money.

Our courts require public paid lawyers to travel great distances and spend hours in cars to attend court appearances where no evidence or testimony is presented such as a simple motion for a continuance. This should be done over the internet in real time teleconferencing.

Reduced workweeks will save on energy, pollution and government cost. Other than emergency service workers we can all save a bundle here.

We have all manner of licenses that expire in as little as a single year. Huge amounts of paperwork must be shuffled all over the state. Some of the licenses are for simple occupations like barbers. The same regulation and safety standards can be maintained by vastly extending time before license renewals. How may unnecessary paper chasers can we eliminate if we really tried?

We pay to house too many prisoners who are no longer a threat to public safety. They need to be cared for outside of expensive prisons. Well behaved and qualified prisoners should be allowed to work on our economy. They can certainly do the work illegal aliens are hired to do, pay for their upkeep and child support too. The prisoners can return to their cells after work.

Here is a twelve-step program to bring state governments back to health:

1. End manufacture of front license plate for vehicles.
2. Triple the amount of time before driver’s licenses are expired.
3. End vehicle emissions testing for all vehicles less than three years old.
4. Have State Assembly meet only once every two years.
5. Triple the Amount of time before any occupational license expires.
6. Triple the amount of time before business and notary licenses expire.
7. Require Courts to mandate internet teleconferencing for Motion, practice and hearings without sworn testimony.
8. Release all prisoners that are physically incapable by age or infirmity of criminal conduct.
9. Allow qualified non-dangerous prisoners to take legitimate jobs in the private workforce and pay for their food, housing, and child support while in prison.
10. Reduce state office hours, workweek and employee pay by five or eight hours.
11. Require state employees in large urban setting to pay for parking of personal vehicles.
12. Study ways to eliminate certain vice related laws and taxing the incomes of those workers.

Let Health Insurance or Medicare Pay For Your Next Pistol

Constitution Arms' offering may sound too good to be true and in fact may be too good to be true. They don’t even have a real photograph of a finished product yet. They claim to have an unusual pistol, made for people with less than full dexterity with their hands. Get a prescription for the thing and let someone else pay for your fun.

Would a physician dare write such a prescription for fear of litigation from Hell should there be an accident or crime? Somehow I don’t think so. I don’t think they will fill this prescription at your neighborhood Walgreens.

In any event here is the poop on this single shot 9MM curiosity.

Disabling Traffic Enforcement Cameras Can Happen!

Dallas, TX—A clever lawyer has shut down camera traffic enforcement in Texas. This valid legal angle can also be used against the companies that provide this service to governments in California, Illinois and Arizona.

The companies are unlawfully operating without required private investigation licenses in these states where they are required, The companies gather evidence to use in legal proceedings for compensation. That precisely why I’m required to have such a license for the work I do in those states.

Operating without a license is a criminal offense!

They can be forced under law to refund all monies collected unlawfully. I hope to see lawyers take up this and remove this tool that extorts money from citizens.

Here is a news report from by my old friend Carol Cavazos at CBS 11 News in Dallas.

Travis Munroe Townsend Is A Patriot, Not A Criminal!

Glendale, AZ—Arizonans are taxed to death. Many can barely afford to keep a roof over their heads, feed their families and must go without health insurance.

Despite this Arizona’s never ending supply of government bureaucrats have plush officers, take home vehicles and too many perks to mention. Arizona’s government grows faster than cancer. It’s become a monster that feeds on the backs of everyone and there is no control in sight.

Arizona has installed new speed cameras on Arizona highways that spit out well over 40,000 tickets in just two months of operation. Does Arizona have a huge accident problem that led to this draconian enforcement? No, but they have a revenue crisis because of over-spending and runaway government growth.

In the spirit that made this country, a Glendale man is accused of taking a pickaxe to a photo enforcement camera. Travis Munroe Townsend, 26, was charged with criminal damage, interference with a traffic-control device and criminal trespass.

The felony charges may well give Townsend grief for the rest of his life as the young man looks for employment opportunities. Hard hit by the cost of living in Arizona, is Townsend himself who works as a subsitute teacher. Townsend is an American patriot not an outlaw.

If ever there was a case for jury nullification and a Not Guilty verdict this is the one. Townsend’s “crime” is no more or less than that of those Americans that dumped tea into Boston Harbor so long ago. We need thousands more motivated freedom loving citizens just like Townsend to say no to runaway government.

India Was Ripe For The Mumbai Attack, No Firearm Training Was Provided!

Mumbai, India—Police have some impressive rifles like the FN FAL, in .308. There are some but but individual officers are generally unarmed sharing weapons with others at best.

Now The Indian Times broke a major scandal, that officers involved in the Mumbai attack defense had not fired their weapons in 10 years! It’s now obvious why a handful terrorists were able commit so much carnage and property destruction.

You must read this to believe it!

Cops just had 577 rifles, hadn't fired in 10 yrs
2 Dec 2008, 1203 hrs IST, Prafulla Marpakwar, TNN
MUMBAI: The state constabulary was grossly unprepared to deal with the worst-ever terror attacks on the metropolis because of an acute shortage of weapons and ammunition.

Official records show that for a force of well over 1.8 lakh, the home department procured a meagre 2,221 weapons — 577 for Mumbai, and 1,644 for the rest of Maharashtra.

‘‘Under the centrally sponsored modernisation programme, we purchased almost all types of weapons, but for a state like Maharashtra, the number of weapons was grossly inadequate ,’’ a senior official told TOI on Monday.

In the absence of a firing range and of ammunition for practice, members of the law enforcement agencies have not opened fire in the last ten years. ‘‘I’ve been in the police force for a long time, but I had no occasion to open fire for practice,’’ a senior inspector of police said.

As per the police manual, officials ranking from constable to assistant inspector get rifles with 30 rounds each, and those with the rank of police sub-inspector and above get revolvers, also with 30 rounds each.

Jawans with the State Reserve Police Force are given SLRs or self-loading rifles. In addition, AK-47 rifles have been given to officials posted in areas where there is Naxal activity, while officials on VIP security duty are armed with either revolvers or carbines.

The manual also prescribes mandatory training for all officials, especially shooting practice at the firing range. According to a senior IPS official, the norms prescribed in the manual now exist only on paper because of the acute shortage of ammunition for practice and the non-availability of a firing range.

As per the rules, every district should have a firing range exclusively for the police. But official records indicate that more than half the state’s districts have no independent firing range.

‘‘We have constables who have not opened fire even for practice ever since their recruitment,’’ the official said.

Crimefile’s Exposé Of TSA Pilots Booby-trap Holster Finally Got Results!

Washington, DC—It has been nearly I year ago when I exposed some “classified’ information on the dangerous conditions the TSA created with a bizarre holster requirement. The TSA mandated that pilots participating in the Federal Flight Deck Officers carry their loaded service pistols in a holster with a padlock across the trigger.

The holster violated both safety rules and common sense. The locking holster turned the weapon into a deadly booby-trap causing the gun to be unintentionally fired.

It was less than four months later when US Airways Captain James Langenhahn’s pistol discharged while he was stowing it away as his flight ended. I put together a video to show precisely how the accident happened and placed it on YouTube and other video sharing sites. The videos received a half million hits.

CNN and other news outlets covered the story using my demonstration of the involved equipment. Langenhahn was removed from the FFDO program and fired. I think it’s clear that the TSA created the dangerous conditions and Langenhahn should be cleared, reinstated and given back pay along with his legal fees.

Now investigators from the Office of Inspector General has released their report to Congress recognizing the danger and recommended finding an alternative to the current method to insure safety.

Here is a CNN report on the the Inspector General’s findings:

Here is my original YouTube video of the booby-trap holster in action:

Julia Hudson Won’t Let Go Of William Balfour--What’s That All About?

Chicago, IL—There is so much more to the Hudson Family murders that makes no sense whatsoever. Julia Hudson did not dump William Balfour as a “friend” on her My Space page and when that information was published in the media she simply made her page private.

More importantly, as of today Julia Hudson has not bothered to file for divorce from the ex-convict that is now in custody for killing her mother, son and brother. Call that what you will, but it is sick.

I have heard from sources close to the investigation all along that Julia Hudson has not been totally candid with detectives investigating this case.

Julia Hudson stood to make a financial windfall with the death of her entire family but for her talented sister Jennifer Hudson who has enjoyed newfound wealth. I must say something really smells here.

William Balfour’s Mother Unleashed!

Chicago, IL—Hudson family murder suspect William Balfour's mother, Michelle Balfour is quite agitated by her son’s arrest for the brutal killings of three members of Oscar winning actress and American Idol Jennifer Hudson’s family.

Balfour has been doing life in prison on the installment plan for a host of despicable and violent crimes. Perhaps if this loving mother had raised her child with a little more supervision he would be practicing medicine instead of costing the taxpayers millions for his legal fees, room and board behind bars.

I can’t help but believe the more Mama opens her moth the more damaging information she provides police investigators. This lady is right out of Hollywood’s Central Casting…

Roman Polanski Files Motion To Dismiss Three Decade Old Criminal Case

Los Angeles—The Associated Press is reporting that lawyers for Academy Award winning film director, Holocaust survivor and fugitive Roman Polanski have filed a motion in the Superior Court seeking to have the 30 year-old charges dismissed.

The motion alleges new facts uncovered by a recent documentary film revealed prosecutorial and judicial misconduct. The HBO documentary, Roman Polanski: Wanted and Desired was released and reviewd earlier on this blog.

Polanski was prosecuted for consensual sexual relations with Samantha Geimer, then 13 years-old after a romp in actor Jack Nicholson’s hot tub.

Polanski had an incredibly difficult life where Nazi’s murdered his parents and the Manson Gang murdered his beautiful, young pregnant wife, Sharon Tate. Polanski served some prison time but after the late judge, Laurence Rrittenbrand reneged on a plea agreement Polanski fled to France.

Polanski has been punished enough, let him return in peace.

Three Counts of Murder, One Count of Home Invasion for William Balfour

Chicago, IL—That was the official word from the Chicago Police Department in connection with the October 24, triple murder of family members of, singer and actress, Jennifer Hudson.

Balfour is set to attend a bail hearing tomorrow afternoon. He already has a lawyer at least for limited purposes of bail issues. He may wind up with another lawyer for the pending charges.

Deputy superintendent Steve Peterson was very tight lipped about the evidence and the role snitches played in the investigation. He did say Balfour had not confessed.

Peterson said that they are not ruling out other people being involved with the crime. Police believe that the motive was related to domestic matters between Balfour and his estranged wife.

Police say recovered physical evidence recovered is still being examined at the state crime lab.

The ball is now in the hands of the Cook County State’s Attorney. They may elect to put their case on at a future public, preliminary hearing or before a secret Grand Jury panel.

This case will be in the court for between one and three years until a jury will decide Balfour’s fate as he is housed in the Cook County Jail.

Based on information I have there are issues with Julia Hudson and various witnesses still under investigation.

Pacific Palisades, A Burglars Paradise…

Los Angeles, CA. --Between Santa Monica and Malibu sits the community I consider the best in this region. So do a large amount of wealthy celebrities like Billy Crystal, Michael Mann, Suzanne Summers and Glen Close.

The LAPD has virtually abandoned this community of patrols because of its citizen’s stellar behavior. The crime here is limited to home invasions and burglaries. Our faltering economy will only make things worse.

Budget cuts and violence in other areas are threatening to leave this area even more under-policed. The burglar alarms can only summon police and an already intolerable police response time is aggravated even more.

The real answer for this community is secession from Los Angeles and creating their own police force. Why pay taxes to a city that does not provide adequate services. The problem is the votes for such a move come from the impoverished areas that love the huge amount of money that the city coffers get from these rich Westside folks.

Los Angeles can always be counted on to turn their backs on the Westside residents and their needs. This is a no-win situation.

The long term solution is armed private patrols. There is a huge problem with nearly all of the private patrol operators. They have low paid people with very little formal training who must be limited to observe and report duties and calling police in order to deal with burglars and such. What’s really needed in a no-nonsense well trained security force that both observes and arrests the predators.

Rather than contract with a large company that serves others they need some licensed retired cop to set up a program tailored for the needs of their local homeowners. Rather than calling 911 and getting put on hold, the residents call the cell phones of their own patrol officers who would all be mature and stable retired cops.

A system of inexpensive, real time web based cameras can be installed that could be observed by the patrol service and the homeowners from anywhere in the world should also be used. The camera installation must be carefully done with privacy considerations for all residents.

I’d limit the patrol officer’s responsibilities to the suppression of violence, robbery, burglary, theft and trespassing. I’d also want to cross-train the patrol officers as paramedics and keep first aid equipment and defibrillators in their patrol vehicles.

Another huge benefit is the residents and patrol officers will be well acquainted with each other. The patrol officers will know who does not belong on resident’s property.

The LAPD will continue to maintain police jurisdiction and follow-up on criminal activity discovered and reported by the private patrol officers.

Most of what police officers do during their shift has little to do with arresting, investigating. Officers usually help citizens will all kinds of needs. A well-oiled private security force could do wonders for the people left to self-help by uncaring government bureaucrats.

Plaxico Burress Needs Help From His Fellow Americans.

New, York, NY—It was an act of negligence to carry a Glock handgun without a holster. You see the Glock has a safety mechanism that is unreliable without a holster. As a result football star Plaxico Burress was injured when the gun slid down his pants leg and fired while he was in a night club.

New York where it happened and New Jersey where Burress lives pride themselves on their laws that violate the Constitutional rights of Americans to keep and bear arms. Today, Burress faces from 3 ½ to 15 years in prison for carrying a gun without a permit they would never issue to him in the first place. In addition Burress could lose his financially rewarding football career.

The Heller decision from the Supreme Court did not address the right to bear arms because the issue under review was about the narrow matter of handgun ban that prevented people from keeping a gun in their home. The court upheld the Second Amendment as an individual right to keep arms. Logic assumes if the issue in Heller involved bearing arms the court would have considered that constitutionally protected activity too.

I can only assume that Burress had no criminal history and had no intentions beyond carrying a handgun for simple self-protection. If that’s the case gun owners everywhere need to support this citizen from an egregious civil rights violation.

First Arrest made in Jennifer Hudson’s Family Slaughter, Others Expected.

Joliet, IL—Today Chicago police detectives from Area One, Violent Crimes paid a visit to Julia Hudson’s estranged husband, William "Flex" Balfour at the Stateville Correctional center where he was held on a parole violation. They served him with a warrant for triple murder and hauled him back to their officers.

A formal complaint for, three counts of First Degree Murder are pending preparation by the Cook County State’s Attorney’s Felony Review Unit. Of course this all began October, 24, 2008 with the shooting deaths of deaths of Darnell Hudson Donerson, Jason Hudson, and Julian King.

Balfour will face a Cook County Circuit Court judge in the morning and that’s when they will appoint a lawyer to represent him. Balfour will most likely be held initially with no bail and there is that second DOC hold that will also be non-bondable. Balfour's new home will be the infamous Cook County Jail.

Let me say I’m surprised that they did not already impanel a Grand Jury and pick Balfour up on an Indictment Warrant. I suspect that Balfour may have agreed to talk and implicate others for a future Grand Jury proceeding. That would be consistent with information I've learned earlier from my sources in the Windy City.

We will wait and see. As the salacious details are revealed, I’m told Julia Hudson has some culpability in this case that will be revealed.

Update: Balfour has been appointed a lawyer already, Joshua Kutnick which means he is cooperating as a co-conspiritor snitch...
