This is reprinted from the National Rifle Association. U.S. Rep. Cliff Stearns` (R-Fla.) national Right-to-Carry (RTC) reciprocity bill, H.R. 4547, would allow any person with a valid concealed firearm carrying permit or license, issued by a state, to carry a concealed firearm in any other state, as follows: In states that issue concealed firearm permits, a state`s laws governing where concealed firearms may be carried would apply within its own borders. In states that do not issue carry permits, a federal "bright-line" standard would permit carrying in places other than police stations; courthouses; public polling places; meetings of state, county, or municipal governing bodies; schools; passenger areas of airports; and certain other locations. H.R. 4547 would also apply to D.C., Puerto Rico and U.S. territories. The bill would not create a federal licensing system; it would require the states to recognize each others` carry permits, just as they recognize drivers` licenses ...

CHINO, Calif. – A San Bernardino deputy shot a passenger of a car involved in a chase several times as the man appeared to be following the deputy’s instructions. The passenger was an unarmed, active duty Air Force policeman. A neighbor shot the videotape. It looks like an attempted execution and a trip to federal court for the deputy. Story and video . KTLA-TV broadcast the tape this morning but did not post it on their web site. I saw it and it's as bad as any I've seen. The Sheriff has the original tape and is not releasing it. Update 11:30 pm.- FYI-The FBI has taken over the shooting investigation today.

GOLETA, Calif. - A woman who was a former postal worker is believed to have open fire on workers at a mail processing facility killing six , and critically wounding another before taking her own life. (note this wounded victim expired Febuary 1, 2006) Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s deputies responded to a radio call of, shots fired found two dead victims outside. The other dead and wounded were located inside the complex. So far no motive has been offered for the carnage but detectives are sorting out the details this morning. Acordint to Santa Barbara County Sheriff Jim Anderson, there were more than 50 people working at the postal facility at the time of the shooting. The plant is located near the University of California, Santa Barbara. The 44-year-old shooter, identified as Jennifer Sanmarco of Grants, N.M., had not worked at the plant for more than two years but still managed to get inside the fenced and guarded Santa Barbara Processing and Distribution Center. She drove through a...

After an attempted stop on a suspicious person situation the suspect fled from police. Officers caught the suspect as a news media helicopter overhead was shooting live video. So now the allegations are flying without documentation of death or broken bones. I’d hope they’d wait for the medical reports before they cry brutality and start a riot. It’s impossible to see the level of resistance being employed by the suspect. Here’s the news report with video link. http://www.ksdk.com/news/news_article.aspx?storyid=91513

Lake Forest, CA—Get that vision of Charles Bronson’s character, Paul Kersey out of your head, this one is definitely different. 26 year-old, Alex Reyes, was shot twice and died on Sunday at a hospital from a bullet wound to his head. Reyes was in the process of making a court supervised visit of his his 18-month-old son. The supervised visits were ordered after Reyes was accused of sexually molesting the boy. The great-grandmother, Jeane Ellen Allen allegedly drew a handgun without warning and shot Reyes twice from the front porch of their home. Allen is being held for investigation of 1st Degree Murder at the Orange County Jail on $1,000,000 bail. With all the hype about child molesting Allen can be counted on being viewed as a heroic protector of her great-grand son. Between the motive and her age I see a made for TV movie coming down the pike. The big question I have is, will the Orange County prosecutor actually find a jury willing to convict the old gal? Granny spilled her guts t...

Nearly a decade ago a startup TV news organization owned by Scripps Howard began in Phoenix, AZ. The plan was to create the best possible broadcasts to quickly grab a respectable market share. A very talented producer, Mary Cox was named news director. Cox had a full year to locate and hire the best of the best to crew what was planned as the new FOX affiliate. That was also the year that station brands were traded like baseball cards. Instead of FOX the new station obtained the ABC label. Mary Cox soon created the 800-pound news gorilla of that market. Among the Energizer News Bunnies Cox hired was a young lawyer who opted to be a reporter, Bob “Woody” Woodruff. Woody was a pleasure to work with as he absorbed all he could about his reporting craft. His news packages were top shelf and you could tell he’d be going places. Despite great ratings, management changes were made with rapid rotation of three news directors. The result was a disaster; KNXV-TV began its suicide plunge. Nearly ...

I could easily write a book about lost privacy just in the last three decades. The American people don’t have a clue how much information and video can be assembled on their every day habits and behavior. Personal surveillance by a private investigator is now all but obsolete. Today it’s really simple to follow and gather the data and video trail and expose absolutely everything about anyone. I don’t think even George Orwell envisioned all the ways technology would intrude into our lives. On the other hand, The Unabom Man, Ted Kaczynski knew exactly and documented all of it in his media published “Manifesto” which ultimately led the FBI to his capture. It appears that the mad genius may have not been so mad after all. Kaczynski wanted to stop this technology abuse even at the cost of killing and maiming people with his bombs. Is Kaczynski really an American patriot and a hero? They way things are going that just may be the case. Members of the Chicago City Council unveiled a proposed ...

It all began with newspapers and magazines. Later radio and TV news followed. In order to publish, broadcast or otherwise be seen or heard it took a huge financial investment. Cookie cutter schools like Northwestern’s, Medill School of Journalism or the University of Missouri Journalism School, manufactured journalists to exacting standards. From newspapers, radio or TV. Their uniform story packaging is always so strikingly similar. The three broadcasting sources on television were nearly identical in content, delivery and the political slant. The message was always the same and changing the channel brought no relief. More disconcerting was the Left Wing political slant that seemed to control the vast majority of information given to the American public. Conservative thinking journalists for the most part were frozen out of publishing and broadcasting. In the 1980’s talk radio slowly came into its own with a wider base of views and opinions. Conservatives at last found their voice and ...

Since the beginning of the human race a minority of humans have chosen to obtain whatever they want or need through intimidation, force and use of various weapons against others. Among other terms we call these people muggers. In order to be successful at this kind of career certain precautions have to be taken in order to avoid getting, caught, beaten or punished. Muggers must be sure that they are stronger, faster or at least outnumber their victims. The idea is that muggers must avoid targeting anyone they can’t overcome, and subjecting themselves to unsafe working conditions. Often muggers are actually aided by their victims for all kinds of illogical reasons. It’s the same mentality that caused millions of victims to cooperate with Hitler’s Nazis by quietly marching to their deaths in an orderly fashion. This same kind of cooperation is exactly what enabled small groups of skinny little Muslims to take over those airplanes on 9/11. You can argue about the “heroes” of Flight 93 but...

Paul Huebl Rich Skidmore Once about a time there were two pals who were working inside a Phoenix television station and wondering about their future. One was a seven-time Emmy Award winning, television consumer reporter at the top of his game, Rich Skidmore. The other one was yours truly, Paul Huebl. I’m a real hybrid character, half newsman, half private eye and ex-Chicago cop. Skidmore was and is a happy-go-lucky sort who after graduating from Ohio State planned on a career as a U.S. Marine pilot. After enlisting for flight school, a 40-foot fall and a broken neck changed this Pittsburgh native’s career direction for good. Surgery and a long recovery period took Skidmore to his second career choice, journalism. After climbing the TV market ladder Skidmore wound up in Phoenix with a good life and a good future. I was satisfied with my own career but wa...

I'm reposting this with the updates since this will be in court in the morning for a Preliminary Hearing... Monday, December 19, 2005 12:55 A.M. Hollywood.UPDATED JANUARY 20, 2006...Officers from the Hollywood Division of the L.A.P.D arrested 51 year-old taxi driver, Alexander Terminassian for Attempted Murder in connection with the shooting of a, 28 year-old would-be passenger outside the Frolic Room nightclub. According to police the cab driver was attacked by the unnamed man, who spat at, chased and began striking the cab driver who fled for his safety to the back seat of yet another taxi. The cab driver was then dragged out of the taxi and that's when he drew a handgun in an attempt to stop the attack. Despite the presence of the gun the thug continued striking Terminassian who fired his gun wounding the man. The wounded assailant was transported to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center for treatment of an upper body gunshot wound. Terminassian fled the scene fearing for his s...

First of all I have nothing against anyone for his or her heritage, religion or color. I do have a problem with the criminal culture, along with the blight, death and destruction it brings. We've been invaded and did nothing to prevent it. Who are these invaders? They’re hungry, poor and uneducated. They’re seeking refuge from the most corrupt miserable government in the Western Hemisphere. Our open arms policy for Mexico’s citizens allows this Mexican Cabal to stay in power. Mexico is no friend of the United States. Mexico’s officials know that the flight of their unhappy population to the United States reduces the likelihood of a much-needed Mexican revolution. Imagine if 30 million Mexicans were forced to return to Mexico after spending several years here. I don’t think they’d tolerate their old government leaders very well and take to the streets to fix their country. Mexico has all of if not more resources than our country. They don't have an acceptable real free enterpris...

Crimefilenews talked about evading jury duty, now it’s time to talk about the enormous power a juror has to combat laws he or she does not believe in seeing enforced. In any criminal case, to convict someone a jury’s verdict must be unanimous. Every juror must agree on a guilty verdict or there can be no conviction. Often, a hung jury results in a dismissal of the case but probably more often the case gets retried. For the truly innocent defendant a retrial provides another chance to rip apart the testimony of lying government snitches or some so-called victims who are waiting to somehow prevail in a civil lawsuit against the defendant later. Let’s assume the crime or crimes charged in a case involve a laws you don’t believe the government should have the power to enforce. You have the absolute power to acquit the defendant of violating those laws. We have lots of laws many Americans do not want enforced. Laws involving gambling, prostitution, drugs, abortion prohibitions, or gun cont...

Jury duty is fine for the folks who work for government or corporations that can be counted on to pay them while they do their civic duty. For the truly retired with too much time on their hands jury duty can be fascinating. I’ve spent endless hours in courtrooms and have found that people who love jury duty are the same folks who watch The Jerry Springer Show. Too many civil and criminal trials offer an inside view of America’s trashiest trailer parks. But for real folks with their own businesses, jury duty can be a nightmare of inconvenience, lost business opportunities, clients and expense. People with a life have nothing to gain by sitting on some jury and a lot to lose. Because I’m an ex-cop and still work as a private investigator both prosecutors and defense attorneys are afraid to have me judge their criminal cases. In civil cases the reasoning is somewhat different but they don’t want me there either. If I’m called for this service I get shuffled around to courtroom after cour...

For starters you’ll wish you were somewhere else and could somehow avoided the mess you’re in. Always remember that conflict avoidance is the best policy… You survived the shooting, now you must survive the criminal justice system. These are ten rules for you to follow: 1. Do not take risks by hanging around because you may still be in REAL DANGER. If you are in no danger, render first aid to your attacker. Remember you only wanted to stop him, not kill him. More than 60% of people who are shot actually live and can be counted on to tell whopping lies about you in court. 2. If you can, take any weapons that were used against you because those weapons will grow legs and run away. You’ll need them for evidence! 3. Don’t call 911 yourself, instead ask someone else to do that for you. The 911 operator will always ask you 20 questions you are far better off not answering. Those calls are always tape-recorded. 4. Call an experienced CRIMINAL lawyer! Get a good licensed private investigator o...

If you want to learn about someone’s background, those pay Internet sites run by unlicensed “investigators” are hardly more than useless. They will offer a 50 state, “police check” for a really low fee. They lead you to believe they have the real inside information. When they vouch for the person you’ve requested information about, they leave you with confidence that this is a stellar person you can allow to hold your wallet. For the most part I’ve learned these unlicensed, so called information brokers are crooks and clowns that don’t know the first thing about conducting a background investigation. Criminal records are kept in several places: The FBI State police agencies Local police agencies City, County, State and Federal Courts Departments of Corrections Sex offender registration databases Records maintained by the law enforcement agencies are protected by numerous laws, which make certain types of unauthorized disclosures a felony. In the old days cops were never caught passing ...

What’s in a name? If I ever get arrested for some disgusting or notorious crime I’m going to tell the cops that my name is William Jefferson Clinton. That may sound cute, but the cops will book me under whatever name I give, and throughout that entire case the name will be attached to that record. Somewhere they may attach other names to the record I have used in the past, but they will never remove William Jefferson Clinton from that record. What’s even more fun is that I happen to know former President Clinton’s date of birth and social security number and they will incorporate this information into the record too. So much for a public criminal court record being proof of anything at all! So how can anyone tell who is who? The way the cops do this is through numerical values assigned to a full set of 10 fingerprints on an inked card or scan file. That’s a fingerprint classification number that you will see in the upper right corner of a set of fingerprints taken from convicted crimin...

America’s self-proclaimed, toughest sheriff never met a TV camera he didn’t love. I’m sure he stays up at night figuring out ways to hold yet another press conference to unveil some new way he’s found to humiliate, deprive or otherwise cause suffering to his jail inmates. I’ve never really had a problem with this except for one not so minor detail. A portion of his inmates are not criminals, but people simply waiting for a day in court to prove their innocence. Criminal allegations can stem from mere finger pointing by a mistaken or prevaricating witness. Some innocent people have had to sit in jail for as long as three years waiting for their trials because their bail was set too high for them to post and be released pending trial. Sheriff Joe is the guy who put his prisoners in striped uniforms, pink underwear and confiscated their girly magazines. Along the way Joe also established chain gangs for the hapless men and women who reside year around in tents. I’ve known Sheriff Joe sinc...

DATELINE-San Jose, CA. Two “victims” were removed from our streets and sentenced to a California State Prison for nine and 12 year respectively for a plethora of fraud charges. They are 40 year-old, Anna Aylia and her husband, Jamie Plascencia, 44 of Las Vegas, Nevada. They’re the geniuses that purchased a severed finger of a pal and later used it in a phony legal claim to extort money from the Wendy’s fast food company. Anna Aylia claimed she was eating her Wendy’s chili when she bit into the finger she alleged was a surprise ingredient. The rat then went on national television and put on a real show to bolster her phony claims. Wendy’s went trough a public relations nightmare and a huge financial loss because of the get rich quick scam of Aylia and Plasencia. These rats had filed numerous claims in the past profiting as professional victims. For the Victim’s Right’s advocates out there this is only the tip of the iceberg. Your victims are far too often not victims, but just plain sew...
