How to fix this video unsupported issue on Smart TV? The video conversion program works on Windows 10, 8. How to convert and play unsupported videos to TV format. What I could have not known or maybe did not want to know at the time, was that this is the head space my lawyer wanted me to be in.
Ready and willing to sign any piece of paper that came my way. Any deal was a good deal for him. Less work you see. Then came the waiting.
The agonizing waiting, soul crushing, brain drain that is the justice system. The others I was locked up with were less fortunate, some waiting as long as 2 years for a trial. In total I spent 11 months and 10 days in jail.
A week into being in my cell I was given a graphic novel by one of the other inmates who was being released. In a similar style too V himself I assume.
This caused self refection. Was I a criminal? Did I break the law? How could I have? I have the second amendment on my side?! I found out fast and hard that the state treats not just just parts, but all of the Constitution like some sort of rag that a group of lunatics wrote years ago. In particular the second amendment was just the rantings and ravings of some long dead mad man, who felt that the people of the United States had a right, nay, a duty to defend themselves and their countrymen from tyranny.
Even though every politician in this state had sworn to uphold this document, it was only ever so they could stuff their bank accounts with money. During my stay at the the local pokey, I was sent to the hospital twice after receiving 2 severe beatings carried out by multiple gang members both times for no particular reason other than to steal what little I had. Because of this I had learned to back my mouth up with my fists. I was never one to throw the first punch but sometimes depending on the opponent I was the last.
I was, and still am level headed and never quick to anger. Nor have I ever gained ANY sort of pleasure from hurting anyone. Have I ever hoped that someone would get struck by lightning or get hit by a bus? I digress, The reason I never fought back came in the form of an unusual and interesting visit form an old friend. Get reddy for an M. Night Shyamalan level twist folks, probably followed by a lot of off topic weirdness.
Remember the crazy old man that tipped off the police in the first place? Well here he was, in front of me in jail and in my cell with me, flesh and bone. Honestly It took me a second to recognize him, he was my new bunk mate. Here he stood shaking and sweating and avoiding eye contact with me. All I could do was laugh.
God I laughed it seemed almost an alien thing to me, after not having done it in so long. I laughed so hard I almost blacked out. I laughed until I could laugh no longer then all I could muster was a giggle that lasted for several minutes. He looked crestfallen and shook his head in what I could only assume was disappointment in himself. This was a point of fact though, regarding the other tenants in the building, they where an older crowd who did not appreciate my loud music or the sloppy way I parked my car.
Or as I was finding out now the kinds of women I dated. I have and still do have a taste for the dark and mysterious type, in retrospect their clothing choices did leave little too the imagination. But heck I was 21 years old with my own place, the house was always rocking, but still no reason to condemn a man right?
Well ok I admit I was obnoxious and I could have been a little quieter and kinder to those folks. Why you ask? Well why not? I ask you. Given the naturally low volume of water that was already in the toilet and the massive amount of dry ice I placed into it, the short version is, I got the porcelain cold enough to freeze the water solid in the trap of the toilet thus breaking out a neat little hole in the side of it.
This stroke of brilliance forced my guests to relieve themselves in my sink and shower. I know, I was there. Any-who I digress yet again. This was rich, Karma in action I suppose. Here sat the man who had condemned me, face to face. Paranoia has a way of worming it self into your brain when locked in a cell 23 hours a day.
Out of all the cells in here he was in mine. I felt like I was being watched, like they wanted to see how I would react. Would I beat him to death? Would I confess things to him? Was he here to gather information on me? Like I said, I could not hold any malice towards this man. He was brain addled, blaming him for his actions would be unfair. But his presence was a good tip off that they either had nothing on me, they they needed more solid evidence.
Proof that either I was a dangerous vindictive lunatic like I was portrayed to be or plotting and scheming to do something. After this wakeup call, I realized I was being watched like a hawk, I vowed to never fight back If put into a physical altercation, I would just roll over and take it with the exceptions of rape and being confronted with actual murderous intent.
I refrained even more from talking, preferring to remain in my cell and quietly read the books my family had sent to me. Of the books I requested one was the full writings of Thomas Paine, an English-born American political activist, philosopher, political theorist, and revolutionary, also a copy of the Constitution of the U.
These books only fueled my fire to get out of the system and initiate change, something I would latter come to find out was a bigger chunk than I could fit in my mouth. But I could not think of who would care and furthermore If I did know, what was their address? They where one of the reasons I was not flying under the radar in the first place.
My Father and Grandmother where of great help to me during this time. They visited when they could, and sent me books. An assortment of other friends sent me letters, including my estranged mother in Florida who had done time in prison herself for meth possession. I keep these letters to this day, they mean the world to me and remind me that I can rely on friends even in the darkest of times.
If any of you are reading this, Thank you. My father met up with my lawyer several times. He seemed to think that he was doing right by me. Up until my father brought up the time that he expressed his concerned that I was never read my Miranda Warning, and that my signature was obviously forged on the consent to search form.
Who could blame the man? But that is the point. We can argue all day about the Second Amendment, you can say that citizens have no actual right to bear arms, and you would be wrong in the worst way.
What had transpired to me was in fact every violation of this human right. For this to be of any legal meaning, one must sign an affidavit. A solemn and formal declaration of the truth of a statement, such as an Affidavit or the actual or prospective testimony of a witness or a party that takes the place of an oath. An affirmation is also used when a person cannot take an oath because of religious convictions.
The Fourth Amendment protects citizens from unreasonable government searches and seizures of their persons, houses, papers, and effects. The Fourth Amendment also states no warrants shall be issued but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched and the person or things to be seized. Minnesota v. Dickerson, S. However, both the U. Supreme Court and federal courts have carved out specific, limited exceptions to the Fourth Amendment search warrant requirement, which are commonly referred to as the seven exceptions to the search warrant rule.
Example: An elderly person in a wheel chair is trapped inside a burning apartment. Because lives are at stake, an officer can forcibly enter the apartment without a search warrant to rescue the person. The key: time and public need. The officer doesn t have time to get a warrant, and there s an immediate risk of harm to the public that requires immediate official action.
Another example: a situation in which public safety is paramount. If officers are being shot at, they may have to conduct a search of premises or a building without a search warrant because both the officers and the public are in imminent danger. Likewise, if an officer has probable cause to believe evidence is going to be destroyed, or if an officer is in hot pursuit of an escaped felon who runs into a house, a warrant isn t required.
In Mincey v. Arizona 2, the Supreme Court ruled officers don t have to delay a search if doing so endangers their lives or others. Supreme Court decision United States v. Robinson, 17 U. The arrest must be valid under law. For the search without a warrant to be valid, the officer must be able to specifically articulate probable cause that the person committed a crime and there must have been an intention on the part of the officer to arrest prior to the search of the person.
What is prohibited is the search of a person who is not yet under arrest in which contraband is found and then an arrest for possession of the contraband based on that search.
The search of a person under arrest is subject to the areas under that person s immediate control Chimel v. California, U. Example: The police observe a woman with a purse commit a crime. Officers may search her purse without a warrant. Good report writing is key here. It s important for the officer to articulate the probable cause factors leading the officer to believe the woman committed a crime and the search of the purse was incidental to the arrest.
Consent Officers and prosecutors face the heavy burden of proof, and searching a person or place with consent always presents problematic legal issues. Officers must prove the defendant voluntarily consented to a search, and there were no threats or promises of any kind. Officers can search without a warrant if they have consent from a person who has the authority to give it. Probable cause is not required if the consent is knowingly and intelligently given. In addition, there are several legal issues officers must overcome when conducting interviews, interrogating and taking statements and confessions, including: 1.
Who can consent to a search; 2. What constitutes voluntarily consent; and 3. What limitations does the law impose on those conducting the search. Age is also considered in legally defining consent.
A child can t give consent, so you must know the age a person is considered to be a child in your state. Likewise, a parent may consent to the search of a child s room where no rent is paid, but a hotel manager or landlord may not provide legal consent to search unless the room or apartment is abandoned. In a decision, Illinois v. Rodriguez U. Supreme Court ruled a person can consent to a search if the facts available to the officer at the time of entry warrant a man of reasonable caution to believe the consenting party has authority over the premises.
Most officers carry a legal form with carefully written consent-to-search language people sign to indicate their voluntary consent to the search. However, in a Supreme Court decision Schneckloth v. Bustamonte, U. A person s consent, even if in writing, can be withdrawn at any time and the police must stop searching.
Plain View If an officer is lawfully in a place and has probable cause to believe an item is contraband, stolen, property or other evidence of a crime, the officer can seize it without a search warrant.
This is known as the plain-view doctrine. In Horton v. California U. Example: An officer pulls over a car during a traffic stop and sees the handle of a gun protruding from under the passenger seat.
If the motorist is not in legal possession of the weapon, the officer may seize it and charge the motorist with a criminal offense. The courts have also repeatedly ruled that officers may use visual enhancement devices, such as flashlights and binoculars. In fact, it s common for cities to have cameras mounted in public places with officers in kiosks viewing television monitors. Caretaker Function People routinely turn over found property to the police.
Officers on patrol also come across found or abandoned property and take it into their possession until its owner can be located. Officers taking property into their care can search the items without a warrant. Example: If a footlocker is turned over to the police, officers have the right to open it without a search warrant to determine if its contents are dangerous to them or the public or if its contents can identify the owner.
Impounded Vehicles Inventory Can a car towed by the police be searched without a warrant? In in South Dakota v. Opperman , U. This is similar to the caretaker-function exception to the Fourth Amendment. If an officer found contraband or evidence of a crime during the inventory of the vehicle and had probable cause to believe it belonged to the registered owner or an arrested person, the officer has a basis for an arrest. The court has pointed out that the inventory search cannot be used as a pretext for discovering incriminating evidence, and it s best if a department has written policy requiring officers to inventory all towed and impounded vehicles.
If you want to search a vehicle that s part of a crime scene, obtain a search warrant. If a person was found shot to death in a vehicle, after the body was removed, you d certainly want to obtain a search warrant to thoroughly process the car for items of evidentiary value. Motor Vehicle Exception Fourth Amendment protection against searching motor vehicles without a search warrant has diminished over time.
In , the court ruled in Carroll v. United States U. In a case New York v. Belton, U. In , the court ruled in Maryland v.
Dyson U. The court reiterated that although the search is limited to areas where the officer has probable cause to believe an item may be located, the search extends to any container found that might contain the item. Keep in mind that stopping a vehicle for a routine violation doesn t mean there s probable cause to believe the vehicle contains contraband, controlled substances or evidence of a crime.
Conclusion It has been my experience that obtaining a search warrant is almost always preferable than searching a person, place or thing without one. Officers must keep in mind that just because we re legally able to search without a warrant, it doesn t mean it s the wise thing to do.

There were multiple inmates in each dorm, all the doors to the dorms were never locked. At some point before I got there, they had covered the windows so you could not see out of them. According to one of the guards, this was due to an incident that had occurred, where one of the inmates wives would stand in the street and expose herself to him while he was standing at the window.
Too compound this misery, we were not let outside at any point. According to the facility staff, their reasoning was that there were no facilities for it. So here I sat tired, beaten, broken, and driven mad from literally walking up and down the hall of this building for 16 hours out of 24 in a day, not able to see the outside, breath fresh air or as fresh as one can get in Newark NJ anyway, but it was all I could do.
After several months of this, there came word that my lawyer was coming to see me. In my left my case file. I was totally unprepared for what was about to happen next. He entered the room with a smile the first time I had seen him do so and plopped a pile of paperwork on the table. I was not happy with this, I wanted the case thrown out on the grounds of illegal search and seizure.
I expressed this to him yet again to no avail. Thats it. But when I showed the court evidence that there was wrong doing on their part. I was going to be sentenced for a minimum of 35 years. He was right. I was wrong. Looking back at all I had been through, the corruption, the deception. I knew it in my heart. I was going to loose if I took this to trial.
All for a hefty fee of course. A week passed and I had my day in court. While being held in the cell adjacent to the courtroom the prosecutor came in to speak to me. He was nice, an older gentleman from the midwest as I can recall.
He knew, this man knew my rights had been infringed. He knew that If I had gone to trial I would have been acquitted on the spot, but I was just another conviction under his belt.
And is this was not the case, the fact that he would only seek a conviction based on the medias expectations, this shows the state of affairs in the NJ justice system.
He also informed me that they had abruptly changed the time of my sentencing, so that the proceedings could take place in relative peace. Without the presence of the media. Who latter reported on my sentence. It proceeded without incident. Fortunately, the solution is relatively easy — here is how to copy files larger than 4 GB to a USB flash drive, memory card or other FAT32 storage device.
While this is fine for day to day use, one key limitation of the FAT32 file system is that you cannot save individual files that are over 4GB in size. If you try to copy a file that is larger than 4GB to a USB flash drive with the default FAT32 file system, you will get an error saying that there is not enough space to copy the file even if its say a 6GB file being copied onto a 64GB USB flash drive with lots of room to spare.
The instrument features 6 classic latin sounds: Bass, Low Conga, High Conga, Bongo, Claves, and Maracas, which can be pitched, panned or mixed independently.

A few hours each year are higher than the "peak hour", but not many. In urban and suburban areas, the peak hour normally occurs every weekday, and or more hours will all be about the same.
On roads with large seasonal fluctuations in traffic, the peak hour is the four near the maximum for the year but excluding a few 30 to 50 hours that are exceedingly high and are not typical of the frequency of the high hours occurring during the season.
