Currently, Florida law enforcement officers are taught they can determine drunk driving and illegal drug driving based on a set of three medical tests that you many of you will fail for over 500 medical reasons. It you fail these tests you are going to jail. Period. Street drunk and drug testing or "field sobriety testing" (FST) is actually advanced brain or neurologist physician testing. So If your are tired, a poor learner, scared, dehydrated, in pain, a diabetic, suffering with a headache, or even a poor skater or gymnast, you are going to jail. Why? Because you have no practice doing these complex medical tests or you have a medical problem that limits your skill at field testing. If you fail this testing fully sober and drug-free, you are still going to jail. You will be arrested, handcuffed with sharp steel rings tight on your wrists, your car will be searched as you wait, and you will spend many hours or days in jail, after you are aggressively searched, put in inmate clothing, fingerprinted, photographed for the morning news and fed food fit for dogs. Even if you are able to pay what a judge eventually determines is your bail, and are released until a hearing or trial, you will lose a good deal of money, time, and you will suffer. You can lose items of value in your care after your car is taken. You have to "bail out" your towed car. You need to hire a lawyer. You have misc. legal and court fees to pay. You will have to explain to your boss or clients, why you are in the paper and why you have been gone one or more days. This is simply law officers playing doctor who will never be skilled enough to understand the hundreds of variables that effect the three field sobriety tests. Hundreds of physical limitations or diseases undermine your ability to perform these field sobriety tests (FST) and these illnesses can be found in the free book, Sobriety Testing, by James Schaller, MD and Kim Mountjoy, MS at www.personalconsult.com, or in a hard copy at your favorite book store. Years ago a tired, dehydrated neurologist left an educational conference in Tampa, because a seizure patient became angry at him and was acting psychotic. To protect the rest of Hotel and patrons, he told the patient he was leaving, and talked to over ten people as he loaded his many files, books and clothing as a local police woman talked with him over thirty minutes. Video shows him driving and loading perfectly. Ninety seconds after leaving the hotel he was stopped and told to reverse in a complex manner which he did perfectly. He produced his ID materials quickly, and yet after he failed field sobriety testing after sitting handcuffed a long time in boiling Tampa blacktop, he was arrested. The arresting officer refused to talk to the hotel police officer who assisted the physician in moving his car closer for loading. The neurologist was speaking and writing at the conference, and had hundreds of books with him--so many it took him an hour to load his car at times feet away from this hotel officer. After the arrest, the officer lied and said the neurologist was slurring words and mumbling, when from taped messages left minutes before he drove, it is clear his voice was perfect. The field sobriety test trouble gave the officer confidence to "load the report" with items consistent with a drunk person. All charges were eventually dropped as they waited weeks for the drug testing to return. No alcohol or illegal drugs were found. Yet the entire process cost over 7,000 and the neurologist reports he will never trust law enforcement again. This arrest is eternal even if the charges are dropped, and in some counties, the prosecution will almost never drop a charge due to the prosecution ideology. The attorney general office can have the goal of justice, balance, high convictions at any cost or income earning plea deals. Just remember, this may all happen because of an old rear light or you did not fully stop three seconds at a stop sign. A smart law officer can usually find some reason to full you over. Most of you will fear law enforcement the rest of your life. You will likely stop assisting good law enforcement with tips or help them fight crime based on this unjust experience. That attitude is a massive loss to ethical and high quality law officers who need citizens to help them oppose serious crime. It also undermines the dangers of impaired drivers, who must be stopped from causing dangerous crashes.

I am a parent who lost my eldest daughter to a heroin overdose. She was only 29 years old. We struggled through a system that is just not working to save them. She was on methadone for 3 years. We went every day...she suffered a horrible withdrawal in prison (I received information from inside verifying that). It was the worst 5 years, only to lose her in the end. So many families struggling. Something must be done!!! I am speaking out at schools and marching in Washington D.C. for the 1 year anniversary of the arrest of "El Chapo" Mexican drug lord.

Marissa Alexander was a victim of DV. Her husband beat her while she was pregnant. "After yet another beating, Alexander fired a warning shot, which traveled through a wall and into the ceiling. That shot saved her life. Prosecutor Angela Corey did not take into account that Marissa Alexander: Had a court injunction against her crazed husband; Had Given Birth 9 Days Earlier; Was trained to use a weapon and earned a concealed weapons permit." - http://justiceformarissa.blogspot.com/ She now has 2 years of home arrest, where she can pursue higher education and can leave for certain things such as picking up and dropping of her child, etc. But, she will still have a felony on her record, which will prevent her from voting, getting student aid for school, and could keep her from being hired, among other things. We are asking Gov. Rick Scott to please pardon her so she can have a completely free life ahead of her to pursue anything she wishes.

Because no survivor should have to endure unjust interruptions in their education or be forced to exist in an environment where their autonomy and safety are not priorities.

My son Frank McQueen was shot multiply times and killed by Chester Pa. police department. I found out that the Internal Affairs in Chester where my son Frank McQueen was killed is investigating his death. Therefore realizing Internal Affairs are affiliates of the Chester police department. Help me to fight, we must go outside the box for justice, true justice. Sign this petition pass it on, there is strength in numbers. Thank You All In Advance.

For over ten years, as a Professor of Mathematics and Criminal Justice, I have specialized in teaching Alternative Dispute Resolution and Restorative Justice to Criminal Justice Majors at New England College in Henniker, New Hampshire. I have seen these prospective "cops on the street" go from "no way" to "this could have really made a difference in my friend's life". If police departments would begin a Restorative Justice Program for youth offenders, it would have significant positive impact on the youth, the community, and their department. It is an opportunity to change the dialog from confrontation to cooperation.

I am in a current legal battle at the moment having to go to court and face what could be a felony if found guilty for purchasing an off-brand cold medicine Wal-phran I purchased at my local Walgreens. I have prior convictions for running a meth lab in which I did almost a total of 10 yearrs. When I was raided they found a empty pickle jar and"no drugs". I paid my debt to society along with my family who also suffered for my mistakes. Back in December 2014, my mother who has ongoing medical conditions got the flu and her being elder she asked me to get her something from our local pharmacy. I was aware of signs in the pharmacy that warned of your name being submitted in a electronic database and no person was authorized to the purchase of no more than 3 boxes of pseudoephedrine per month but I was unfamiliar with the law that had went into effect approximately a year prior of not permitting to sell to someone that had my prior convictions. Well earlier in the month my home got raided in which they found sandwich bags--clean ones unused, food scales that weigh pounds (they were weight watchers scales), but no drugs. When I read the warrant I found they issued it because I had a warrant in the county where my mother lives for purchasing her medicine. One box I have bought in ten years and wouldn't have if I knew I wasn't allowed. I thought it was illegal for the sale too. I thought If I was doing wrong I should be protected in the system some way or another. My mother who still has the medicine a box that had a total of 20 pills and 16 still in the box. Now I'm looking at a felony conviction in which I am guilty of and wish I had known I was doing wrong. My home was raided for a possible meth lab in which there was not one and they tore my home up for the third time when I have already been punished 10 yrs and learned my lesson and then some. Now with prior convictions along with this felony I can been maxed out in years for something I did to be help to my mother. I want to keep others from running into this problem like I have. If everything goes electronically in a database why shouldn't these databases put up a red flag and not allow for such sale to those that shouldn't be permitted those sales. People that max out on the number of boxes that they can get a month are shown a red flag if they can not buy anymore, and 3 boxes is more than anyone should need in a month so why do they not get a notice not permitting them the sales. Thank you for hearing and taking my concern into consideration.

King&Spalding, a law firm participating in Clemency Project 2014,a national effort to pursue clemency for federal prisoners, has been assigned my case for possible clemency eligibility. I ask that if you know about or have heard about such injustice that occurred in my case or others, please support me. If given the chance I will be productive member of society. I will show you and society how a person with no hope can still mature and better themselves via the rehabilitative programs that are offered by the Federal Bureau of Prisons. If the 20 years that I have already served is not enough to pay my debt to society, give me more years to do, but don't leave me with this sentence of DEATH

NO REAL Evidence that he convicted this crime ONE good reason is because HE DID NOT DO IT! look him up he served 7 out of a 10 to 20 year sentence he also almost died because of stab woon on the top of his head and neck!

Brier has one of the lowest crime rates in the state. A strong Brier Police presence helps keep our community safe, deters criminal activity and strengthens our property values. I'm signing this petition to send this message to the Mayor and City Council: 1) There needs to be transparency in this decision. Community input should be actively sought and decisions should not be made without extensive outreach with taxpayers, and 2) We need to invest in our Brier Police force to keep it strong, not dismantle it by outsourcing functions to another city
