California's "political environment and the power of special interests," Hickman said at the time, "work against efforts to bring about lasting reform. Woodford was particularly distressed that top aides to Schwarzenegger were consulting the prison guards union about her suggested candidates for warden jobs and other positions in the department, the official said. One meeting between union officials and the aides took place as recently as Tuesday. In addition to Woodford, several other high- and medium-level executives have left since Hickman stepped down. Morale within the sprawling agency - which oversees , adult and juvenile felons and , parolees?

The twin departures also undermine one of Schwarzenegger's most ambitious and widely praised initiatives since taking office: And this week its disgraced medical care system - which experts have blamed for an average of one inmate death a week - was placed in the hands of a federal receiver. The convict population, meanwhile, has hit an all-time high, with many prisons at twice their intended capacity. Vacancies in officer positions are so numerous that guards are routinely working mandatory overtime, a situation their union leaders call untenable. Lance Corcoran said that if Woodford's departure suggests "the union is the bad guy again, then that's ridiculous.

Since when don't we have the right to communicate? But in , when Schwarzenegger appointed her director of corrections - the No. Woodford, in turn, said after she was named acting secretary that she believed Schwarzenegger remained committed to reform. UC Irvine criminologist Joan Petersilia said no leader in another state "is going to come to a place where the environment just makes it impossible to do the business of corrections.

North Dakota prison officials did not violate an inmate's rights when they took away religious magazines and a likeness of the American flag, the state Supreme Court says. Reuben Larson had filed a petition asking the Supreme Court to declare that prison officials were acting beyond their authority by taking his property.

The high court, in a unanimous ruling Wednesday, declined to do so. He is serving a year sentence for attempted murder. A former Grand Forks city councilman, Larson was well known to courthouse officials for his arguments that he shouldn't have to get a driver's license, and that tax laws were unconstitutional. North Dakota prison inmates may keep books and magazines only if they are sent directly to the inmate from the publisher. Prisoners are not allowed to pass books and magazines among themselves. The magazines taken from Larson were given to him by other inmates, which violated prison rules, court records say.

One reason for the rule is that books and magazines can be used to transmit secret messages and contraband if shared by inmates. Larson cut the likeness of the American flag from a newspaper, which was another violation of prison regulations, court documents say. Inmates are not allowed to have property that has been "altered from its original state," the prison's inmate handbook says.

Larson argued the rules "do not violate or harm the order, security or housekeeping of the prison," the court's opinion says. Such squatters, if convicted could face up to a year in jail, reports the New Orleans Times-Picayune. Squatters have been reported to be living on the second floors of some damaged homes in some districts.

The bill now goes to full House for debate next week. Detention officers suffer broken arms in melee, Sheriff's Office reports. The inmate at the center of Thursday night's fight was identified as Theodis Richardson, Richardson, in jail on attempted murder and other charges, is accused of attacking detention deputy Brian Leach as he attempted to handcuff the 6 feet, 1 inch tall, pound inmate. Leach and deputy Derrick Hartline, who came to Leach's aid, both suffered broken arms in the melee, according to the Polk Sheriff's Office.

They were taken to Lake Wales Medical Centers for treatment. Both deputies are now recovering at home, sheriff's spokeswoman Carrie Rodgers said Friday afternoon. Richardson was placed in an isolation cell. The incident happened just after 7: Thursday, but was not reported publicly until Friday afternoon.

The fight is the latest incident in what's been a tumultuous few weeks for the Polk County Jail. That period has seen the deaths of two inmates -- one after a confrontation with deputies -- and a violent attack on an infirmary nurse. The entire county jail system now houses 2,, according to the Sheriff's Office Web site. That does not count an additional A Sheriff's Office news release gave the following account of how the fight unfolded: The requirement is a safety measure.

When deputies explained the policy to Richardson, he grew "tense and disruptive. Hartline came to Leach's aid, but Richardson fought with both deputies, who fell against the toilet and bunk inside the cell, causing their broken arms. Other inmates gathered around the cell to watch the fight, which was soon broken up by several deputies, who restrained Richardson, the release said.

Frostproof jail inmate Seymour Lennon, 30, was being examined in the jail's infirmary when he attacked a nurse, then assaulted two detention deputies, according to the Sheriff's Office. Sheriff Judd said jail overcrowding can lead to tensions that spark into physical altercations. Judd said the transfer of inmates is one method of dealing with problems. Asked whether Thursday night's fight could happen at Bartow's jail, Judd said: Theodis Richardson has been arrested in Polk County 18 times since His latest, a March arrest, was for charges of attempted 2nd-degree murder, sexual battery with physical force, home invasion robbery, aggravated battery, false imprisonment and violation of parole.

Richardson was recently sentenced to 40 years in state prison for the charges and will face further charges for fighting with deputies Thursday night, the news release said. The family of a third-grade boy in New Mexico, who was handcuffed and jailed after misbehaving at school, has agreed to a settlement. The family will receive thousand dollars from the city Espanola and its insurer to settle a lawsuit.

Jerry Trujillo was eight years old at the time. His mother says he was sent to the school counselor's office after hitting another child with a basketball. According to the juvenile citation, the boy "got out of control and refused to go back to class. The lawsuit says he was dressed in an orange jumpsuit and placed in a holding cell as adult inmates in a nearby cell taunted him.

He was released to his parents a half-hour later. A jury had already been chosen to hear a federal civil rights lawsuit, which will now be dismissed. Los Angeles' policy of arresting homeless people for sitting, lying or sleeping on public sidewalks as "an unavoidable consequence of being human and homeless without shelter" violates the constitutional prohibition against cruel and punishment, a federal appeals court ruled today.

The suit challenged the city's practice of arresting persons for violating a municipal ordinance, which states that "no person shall sit, lie or sleep in or upon any street, sidewalk or public way. The appeals court ruled that the manner in which the city has enforced the ordinance has criminalized "the status of homelessness by making it a crime to be homeless," and thereby violated the 8th Amendment to the U. City officials had no immediate comment on the ruling, but it appeared that the decision could have significant ramifications for the city's policy on the burgeoning problem of homelessness.

She said that about 11, to 12, homeless people live in Skid Row, a block area, bounded by Third, Seventh, Main and Alameda Streets. Her lengthy opinion states that the Los Angeles ordinance "is one of the most restrictive municipal laws regulating public spaces in the United States.

The city can secure a conviction under the ordinance against anyone who merely sits, lies or sleeps in a public way at any time of day. The evidence supports the reasonable inference that shelter is unavailable for thousands of homeless individuals in Los Angeles on any given night.

The judge said that evidence introduced in the case, entitled Edward Jones v. City of Los Angeles, showed the plaintiffs "are not on the streets of Skid Row by informed choice. It is very unusual for a plaintiff to win a case based on the 8th Amendment to the Constitution, which bars cruel and unusual punishment. Courts, including the U. Supreme Court, frequently rebuff challenges based on the 8th Amendment. For example, in recent years the high court had rejected 8th Amendment appeals challenging long sentences for minor crimes stemming from three strikes laws.

However, in this instance, Judge Wardlaw analogized to earlier rulings, which said the mere act of being a drug addict or an alcoholic is not a crime. In , the Supreme Court, in Robinson v. California, reversed the conviction of a California man who had been convicted of violating a state law which made it a criminal offense to "be addicted to the use of narcotics. At the time, the high court, said, "it is unlikely that any state at this moment in history would attempt to make it a criminal offense for a person to be mentally ill, or a leper, or to be afflicted with a venereal disease?

In the light of contemporary human knowledge, a law which made a criminal offense of such a disease would doubtless be universally thought to be an affliction of cruel and unusual punishment. More than 40 years later, Wardlaw said, that case stands for "the proposition that the Eighth Amendment prohibits the state from punishing an involuntary act or condition if it is the unavoidable consequence of one's status or being. That being an impossibility, by criminalizing, sitting lying, and sleeping, the City is in fact criminalizing [the plaintiffs] status as homeless individuals," Wardlaw wrote.

Mark Rosenbaum, legal director of the American Civil Liberties Union of Southern California, hailed the ruling "as the most significant judicial decision involving homelessness in the history of the country. The case stands for the proposition that in America homelessness is not a crime. But the way the Los Angeles ordinance was being enforced individuals were being criminalized solely because they did not have a place to live, Rosenbaum said. Once they do that, so many other social problems in the community," will be alleviated, including the high population in the county jail and pressure on emergency health services and foster care, he added.

The Fourth Amendment forbids unreasonable searches. The Times, which disclosed the existence of the federal agency's surveillance program in December, said Klein had provided some of his documents to the newspaper. President Bush has acknowledged ordering the agency, shortly after the Sept. Bush has maintained that the program was authorized by his constitutional power as commander-in-chief of the armed forces, and implicitly by the post-Sept. Other suits have been filed against the government over the program, but the foundation's suit is the only one against a telecommunications company.

But in a letter to the foundation on Tuesday, Bruce Ericson, a lawyer for the company, said the documents contained trade secrets and should be returned. The foundation instead filed them on Wednesday with Chief U. Derek Slater, a spokesman for the foundation, said Friday it wants Klein's documents released. The jail cells are at the Milwaukee County House of Correction. The year-old Mosby of Wauwatosa had been scheduled for sentencing today on 14 misdemeanor graffiti counts. Instead, a judge adjourned the matter to April 21st so Mosby has time to answer the new accusation.

Mosby had been charged with habitual criminality, a felony. About the same time that President Bush was condemning the abuse of prisoners in Iraq as un-American, a year-long inquiry began into the mistreatment of prisoners at home. The Commission on Safety and Abuse in America's Prisons CSAAP issues its final report in about eight weeks time, but the testimony of violence, abuse and over-crowding it has already heard has shocked few familiar with the largest documented prison system in the world.

One of the biggest drivers of the expanding population are the tough policies brought in over the last 20 years to tackle high crime rates - like the "three strikes" laws that hand out long, mandatory sentences to repeat offenders. They are tactics the US government says are working - as recent figures have shown violent crime and murder falling. But critics say that such policies have skewed the US system away from rehabilitation, storing up problems for the future. The most secure prisons in the US are the notorious Supermax facilities, like the correctional complex in Florence, Colorado that houses shoe bomber Richard Reid, and which is also known as the Alcatraz of the Rockies.

Tightly controlled, technologically advanced and utterly dispiriting, such facilities - and smaller blocks within general prisons - have been a source of controversy for many years. Bland, bureaucratic phrases like management control or secured housing unit describe regimes where solitary confinement is an almost permanent way of life, with prisoners locked in spartan cells for at least 23 hours each day. Supermaxes are the end of the road for those in the prison system - transfer to an even marginally less restrictive environment can require several years of good behaviour.

To supporters they are the most appropriate way to house the worst of the worst in the prison population, especially those criminals who attacked or killed guards and other prisoners. To critics, they are a breeding ground for monsters, an affront to human rights tantamount to torture. Gary Harkins, is an officer at the maximum security Oregon State Penitentiary in Salem, and also a member of Corrections USA, a group which represents about , prison guards and opposes the growing number of private prisons.

Mr Harkins says OSP works on a "direct supervision" basis, encouraging officers to have interpersonal contact with inmates. This, he says, reduces the threat of violence and makes for a safer institution for both inmates and staff, who are armed with only a radio, a whistle, and a pair of handcuffs. The US Department of Justice says it "protects society by confining offenders in the controlled environments of prisons and community-based facilities that are safe, humane, cost-efficient, and appropriately secure".

Examples include educational, occupational and vocational training, work programmes and substance abuse treatment. America currently stands accused of acting as the world's jailer in its War on Terror. It is under fire for allegedly running secret jails in other countries, far from public scrutiny. But the roots of the problem may be closer to home, as suggested by words attributed to former Pennsylvania prison guard Charles Graner - ringleader of the Abu Ghraib abuses - which came out during court testimony.

Prisons are public institutions and they must be held accountable. April 7, - One of six inmates who escaped from the Cook County Jail back in February says a jail guard is being set up. Cook County corrections officer Darren Gater is charged with helping the men get free. The sheriff claims Gater did it as part of a plot to influence an election.

One of the inmates is now providing new details about the escape, its planning and how the guard became involved. Nearly a dozen maximum security inmates reportedly spent many months counting the number of guards on duty, setting fires to determine response times and even mapping out escape routes during trips to the law library. One of the escapees says they saw vulnerabilities and made their move and they did not have help from the inside. It was an escape plan nearly a year in the making.

And, if you believe one of the six inmates who broke free in February, it happened because corrections officers, supervisors and even the superintendent of this maximum security lock-up thought it better to give in to inmate demands than face unrest inside. Late on a Saturday night in February, a guard is said to have broken policy by allowing an inmate out of his cell for a shower. That's when the inmate overpowered the guard, cuffed him to a steel bar, stole his uniform and flipped the switch that unlocked several cell doors.

From there, a half-dozen inmates used the uniforms, fires set as distractions and brute force to break out. Several days after the escape, prosecutors charged corrections officer Darrin Gater with "helping" the inmates. Despite a record of military service and a dozen years with the Sheriff's office, they say Gater allowed himself to be overpowered and the inmates to escape as part of a plan to influence the upcoming election for Sheriff.

Inmate David Earnest says it didn't happen that way. He says the inmates selected three guards who they were pretty sure, because of their relatively small size ,could be over-powered. Public defender Susan Smith says her client is convinced correction's officer Gater is being framed.

Seven inmates have managed to escape from the jail in the last eight months. Darrin Gater's attorney says that proves there are much bigger problem behind these bars.

A spokeswoman for Cook County Sheriff Michael Sheahan points out that jail guard Darren Gater confessed on videotape to helping in the escape. She says one or two more corrections officers may face criminal charges.

Earnest is facing an unrelated murder charge. He is accused of killing a man who crossed a drug dealer. Brian Ferrell was sentenced to 12 months in federal prison and two years of conditional probation after previously pleading guilty to lesser charges and testifying against his former colleagues, The Lebanon Democrat reported. Former guard Travis Bradley received no jail time and two years of conditional probation for lying to federal investigators about abuse at the jail. He quickly recanted his false statement to investigators and cooperated thereafter.

One of the beatings resulted in the death of Walter S. Kuntz, 43, who spent eight hours in the jail in January on drunken driving charges before he was taken to the hospital with three broken ribs and head injuries that left him brain dead. Ferrell was still eligible to receive more time in prison under federal sentencing guidelines, but federal prosecutors asked U.

Campbell granted the request, complimenting Ferrell's credible testimony in the trial of former guards Patrick Marlowe, Shane Conatser and Robert Locke. The jury convicted Marlowe of seven counts of violating inmates' civil rights and Conatser of one count of conspiracy. They are scheduled to be sentenced May The inmate, year-old Harry K. Hoopii, was taken to the hospital with injuries including multiple facial bruises, swelling and a cut lip, said Shari Kimoto, administrator of the department's branch on the mainland.

He was beaten after allegedly assaulting two corrections officers at the Tallahatchie County Correctional Facility on Feb. The prison is managed by Corrections Corporation of America. He was then taken to a disciplinary holding cell in another part of the prison, where his beating allegedly occurred, she said. It is regular procedure for a Special Operations Response Team to use force against a violent inmate, but the assistant warden and chief of security at the prison determined that this incident went too far, Kimoto said.

They "realized that excessive force had been used," she said. Two captains and a sergeant were fired for violating the policies of Corrections Corporation of America. The other members of the response team, including the team member who operated the hand-held video camera, were suspended, she said.

Their names were not released. One of the officers who was allegedly assaulted by Hoopii suffered an injured right arm and thumb. The other officer had an injured arm and finger. Hawaii officials were notified the day of the accident, and Public Safety officials were satisfied with the response, Kimoto said. Hoopii is serving two life sentences with the possibility of parole. He was found guilty of attempted second-degree murder in the stabbing of a man in Kalihi in Last July, about three dozen Hawaii inmates were accidentally released from the Tallahatchie facility.

The Corrections Corporation of America blamed a guard for opening the cells, which caused a riot and the hospitalization of two prisoners. Jail trusties are a group of inmates who help in the general maintenance and upkeep of the jail. The inmate trusty program was originally implemented to allow nonviolent offenders to perform cleaning, car washing and other low level duties at sheriff's stations. Trusties are inmates who have proven themselves to be trustworthy.

Logan County jail administrator John Johnson said the trusty selection process starts with an application by inmates who are interested in the program. We don't accept applications from out-of-county, federal or DOC inmates," Johnson said. An extensive background check is conducted with emphasis on prior problems in jail, violent history and any disciplinary problems an inmate might have with officers or other inmates.

While the check does not concentrate on the inmate's life inside the walls of the county jail, Johnson said that dealings with the outside also weigh in on decision making. Generally, it's a standard of two days for every 30 days of good behavior. A trusty can receive up to 10 days taken out of their sentence every month," Johnson said. The sheriff's department utilizes the trusties in all matters of maintenance in the jail such as laundry, general maintenance, car washing and sometimes for additional labor in moving items in the facility.

Four trusties are currently assigned in the kitchen supervised by four employees of the county's food contractor. Trusties are housed in a pod separate from the other inmates. Having only one female trusty, Johnson said separating her would be difficult and that she is still housed with the general population. It's not all perks when it comes to being a trusty, Johnson said. Trusties are still inmates and everywhere they are assigned, sheriff's deputies are on hand to watch and supervise their activities.

To date, Johnson said, there has been no major problems with inmates in the program. They are just some of the victims of wholesale torture taking place inside the U. The prison guards stand over their captives with electric cattle prods, stun guns, and dogs. Many of the prisoners have been ordered to strip naked. The guards are yelling abuse at them, ordering them to lie on the ground and crawl. Another prisoner has a broken ankle. The jolt of electricity zaps through his naked flesh and genitals. For hours afterwards his whole body shakes. Lines of men are now slithering across the floor of the cellblock while the guards stand over them shouting, prodding and kicking.

Second by second, their humiliation is captured on a video camera by one of the guards. The images of abuse and brutality he records are horrifyingly familiar. These were exactly the kind of pictures from inside Abu Ghraib prison in Baghdad that shocked the world this time last year. And they are similar, too, to the images of brutality against Iraqi prisoners that this week led to the conviction of three British soldiers.

But there is a difference. These prisoners are not caught up in a war zone. They are Americans, and the video comes from inside a prison in Texas[ The use of taser weapons by US police has been linked to deaths since , according to a report published Tuesday by Amnesty International. The report found that most fatal taser electrocutions involved unarmed subjects who posed no serious threat to cops or civilians at the time of weapon discharge. The report points to the systematic misuse of tasers by police and in prisons, documenting their utilization on the mentally ill, children, pregnant women and the elderly.

It also highlights the widespread policy of using tasers as a routine compliance tool on subjects who are passively resisting or simply not perceived to be complying with orders. In November Amnesty International published a report detailing its concerns about taser use in the USA, including the circumstances in which more than 70 people had died in the USA and Canada after being struck with the weapons. Amnesty International also raised concern about the lack of strict guidelines governing taser use in the USA, as well as the risk of abuse inherent in electro-shock weapons which, portable and easy to use, have the capacity to inflict severe pain at the push of a button, often without leaving marks.

Amnesty International called on all US police departments and authorities to suspend their deployment of tasers pending a rigorous, independent inquiry into their use and effects. It made a similar call to the Canadian authorities. Wie ein besonders drastisches Exempel zeigt, senken solche angeblich harmlosen Waffen die Schwelle zur Gewaltanwendung erheblich. In addition to US police and correctional agencies, they are also deployed by the US army in Iraq; are available to members of the public; and are deployed or are being trialled in a number of other countries.

Police departments deploying tasers claim that they reduce injuries and save lives by providing officers with an alternative to using their firearms or batons. In addition, Amnesty International is concerned by the growing number of fatalities involving police tasers. In the past three years, more than 70 people are reported to have died in the USA and Canada after being struck by M26 or X26 tasers, with the numbers rising annually. While coroners have usually attributed the deaths to other factors, such as drug intoxication, some medical experts believe taser shocks may exacerbate a risk of heart failure in cases where people are agitated or under the influence of drugs, or have underlying health problems.

In at least five recent cases, coroners have found the taser to have directly contributed to the deaths, along with factors such as drug intoxication and heart disease. Amnesty International's concerns about deaths and ill-treatment involving police use of tasers.

This electrical current was so intense that I thought that I was actually dying. I had not been causing any trouble, I was belly chained, shackled, seat belted in, and there was a fence between the officers and me, so there was absolutely no reason for them to be using this device on me I think they shocked me a second time while I was still in the van.

When we arrived, I was unloaded from the van and taken to a holding cell Once I was in the cell, several officers came into the cell and again I was shocked by the stun belt. This electrical blast knocked me to the floor, and I could hear the officers laughing and making jokes. Torture at the push of a button. An electroshock gun, also referred to as a stun gun, is a weapon used for subduing a person by firing something which administers electric shock which disrupts superficial muscle functions.

A Taser is a well-known device of this type. A stun baton does the same by administering an electric shock by contact without firing anything. Einfachere Modelle, getarnt als Taschenlampe, sind schon seit den 70er Jahren des vorigen Jahrhunderts in Gebrauch. Some of the doctors have not been paid in four years. Some of their contracts have lapsed.

And some who deliver cardiology, radiology and a wide range of other services to prisoners are no longer responding when called. Henderson also had harsh words for corrections leaders, saying they have stuck "their collective heads in the sand" instead of resolving the contracting mess.

Lax healthcare in California prisons is blamed for an average of 64 preventable deaths a year. In naming a federal receiver to take over this year, Henderson determined that corrections officials were incapable of solving the problem alone. Meanwhile, state Controller Steve Westly said his office will audit the department to determine why prison healthcare is so poor, despite a doubling of funding since Instead, we've seen the first federal takeover of a state agency in California history," said, Westly, who is also a candidate for governor.

Until recently, he was performing about 20 surgeries a month on prisoners. But then the anesthesiologists at the local hospital stopped providing service to inmates because of nonpayment by the state. Now, Henry performs only emergencies, such as appendectomies, and even those "reluctantly. We can't keep working for free.

And there will be no more peanut butter in Tennessee state prisons and George Hyatte may be to blame. Hyatte's the man charged along with his wife with ambushing two Brushy Mountain prison guards, killing one, during their escape outside the Roane County Courthouse last August. Prison officials say Hyatte concealed a cell phone in a jar of peanut butter inside the prison and used it to coordinate his escape.

Guards say drugs and guns have also been found in peanut butter jars in other areas of the prison. NEW YORK An appeals court handed Governor Pataki a legal victory today when it ruled that state officials can keep convicted sex criminals in psychiatric facilities as civilly committed patients after their prison sentences end. The state Appellate Division's decision reversed a lower court ruling that directed the examination of 12 inmates who were sent to mental hospitals after their sentences ended and ordered their release if they were not found to be mentally ill.

Pataki says his executive order so far has civilly confined 49 sexually violent predators in state mental facilities since October. In November , a state Supreme Court found 12 inmates were held illegally when they were involuntarily committed to mental hospitals after their sentences ended. But the appeals court says that because the sex offenders had been released from prison, the lower court judge erroneously applied provisions in the state's Correction Law, which governs psychiatric confinement of prison inmates.

A community activist was jailed Wednesday for 45 days by an Adams County judge for wearing a T-shirt in court with a photograph of executed killer Stanley "Tookie" Williams and the word "redemption.

Aleem apparently refused Judge Katherine Delgado's order to remove the shirt, citing his First Amendment rights. Williams was a former gang member convicted of homicide in California who was executed in December despite pleas from supporters who said he had reformed. He promised an appeal and said Aleem planned a hunger strike while in jail.

Mark Silverstein, legal director of the American Civil Liberties Union of Colorado, said he doesn't believe Aleem's shirt rises to the level of contempt. Aleem was arrested Feb. Police say Aleem became combative at the meeting, then ripped off an officer's badge and grabbed an officer by the throat. Aleem pleaded not guilty to second-degree assault of a peace officer, which carries a year prison term. The trial ended in a hung jury. Prosecutors are set to retry the case May 8. On Wednesday, Burton sought a dismissal of the contempt citation.

But Delgado sent Aleem to jail, where he is being held without bail. According to Burton's motion, Aleem removed a T-shirt on Feb. That shirt had the words "U. History " and included a picture in which a white overseer whipped a black slave. The next day Aleem refused to remove the shirt depicting Williams after prosecutors objected. According to the motion, "He was exercising his free speech and religious rights to wear this shirt, and the shirt did not detract or interfere with the judicial process.

Miles Madorin, staff attorney for Colorado District Attorney's Council, wouldn't comment on Aleem's case but said judges need contempt power. Recognizing that a man's home is, indeed, his castle, the Supreme Court said Wednesday that police can't search a house without a warrant if one occupant invites them in but another objects to their presence.

Writing for a sharply divided court, Justice David Souter said the ruling's logic was drawn from common social courtesies. The vote in the case was ; Justice Samuel Alito, who wasn't on the court when the case was argued, didn't vote. Under the Fourth Amendment, which protects against unreasonable searches, police who come knocking without a warrant can't bypass consent any more easily than a salesman or other guest could, he said.

The ruling could have wide-ranging implications for authorities, who regularly confront the question of how and when someone has sufficiently waived his or her privacy rights to justify a search. The ruling also inspired the first written dissent from Chief Justice John G. Roberts said that different social situations could produce different outcomes. Justices Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas also dissented.

Roberts also disagreed with another of the court's assumptions: Someone who lives with others "assume the risk that those who have access to and control over his shared property might consent to a search. When police showed to resolve things, Janet Randolph told them that her husband had drugs in their home and agreed to let the officers inside to look for evidence. Scott Randolph objected, but the police went ahead on Janet Randolph's word; she led them to drug paraphernalia in the couple's bedroom. Scott Randolph later tried to have the evidence tossed out because he said the search was illegal.

A lower court agreed with him and the justices were asked to decide the matter finally. The court had never directly confronted the issue of two people, both present at a home, giving different answers to a request for a search. Souter noted that the court has long decided whether warrantless searches are "reasonable" by looking to the expectations that people would have in normal social situations.

The court also has ruled before that if only one occupant is present when police ask to search, that person's consent is sufficient, even if other occupants who weren't present later object to the search. In the Randolph case, however, Souter said the social expectations were clear.

The prisoners got two slices of bread in 24 hours, access to restrooms was granted wery scarcly. There where few mattresses and no blankets. With kicks against the cell doors, the prisoners were kept awake. Some cells had constant light, while others had none at all. An injured women, who was taken to the GeSa on Friday July 7th with a suspected nose break, did not recieve food for 15 hours.

Her injury was not x-rayed. She was only seen by a judge 40 hours after her arrest, who released her at 11pm that same day. The prisoners in custody are generally only allowed visitors with a permission from the judge. These visits where being strictly surveilled letter from Fabios mother to her son from August 7th, Additionally, it was impossible to send packages with clean clothes to the prisoners for weeks.

Fleeing or hiding evidence, which is usually the reason for enforcing custody, did not play any role. Therefore the custody itself presents as a preventive measure. A non german passport, strenghtend the accuse, of being a potential enemy to society, leading to longer custody and harsher sentences. Additionally many released prisoners recieved letters, asking them for a voluntary DNA analysis. In general one can say, it became pretty obvious through all the trials, that no matter which person was in front of the judge and no matter what the charges were, every single one of them was blamed for the riots, especially those on friday night and ultimatly sentenced for them.

This type of mass participation during street fights and attacks on cops should be prevented in the future. The fear of the power hungry advocats, became clear in the politicaly motivated pleas, in which they tried to paint the activists as isolated criminials, without any political identities.

A technique used worldwide. In the past, their statements could usually not stand the cross examination in court, so that few people excluding especially kurdish activists , were placed on probation, but very rarely recieved prison time.

According to this right, anyone who is arrested or on trial can refuse any statement in front of the cops or the judge, except stating the details on the passport. Understanding this right as a weapon- as a way of protecting structures or other people - but also as an act of resistance - in the sense ofwithdrawing yourself from any dialogue with the state, is sadly not a given anymore. A decision of making a statement in court or not, is often an individual one or left up to the strategy of the lawyers.

The strategies from the lawyer often focused on reaching deals, which can be described as an understanding between the judge and prosecutor and the defense attorney, which usually forces the defense to agree to certain points brought up by the judge in exchange for a softer sentence and in confessions, which under certain circumstances can be justified.

Though there were not only deals and confessions within the prisoners, that could under certain circumstances be a valid choice, but it went as far as prisoners apologizing to the judges and cops, as well as to the HASPA bank and Budnikowsky store. A 28 year old guy from hamburg read his confession out loud. He said, he did not know what possesed him that evening. It was simply his curiosity that drove him to the Schanze, after he saw pictures of the riots in TV.

Upon arrival, the crowd swept him along. He was actually on his way to Barmbeck that night, where he know lives, when he coincidentally passed the riots at Pferdemarkt, where he was attacked with pepper spray, which made him angry, additionally he had taken cocain that night as well. Fabio marks a clear exception here, he wrote a political statement, which he read out in front of the court. This is not only sign of bravery and political knowledge, it is also an importatn step for all of us to fight against the repression, not buckly in the face of danger and fight against the criminilisation of our struggles.

There are several examples of the g20 trials at the end of the article. Some are also in english. Keeping the raids and the recent publication of mug shots in mind, more trials are probably soon to follow. During the evening of july 1st, the apartments of two comrades was searched by police.

For the german left and radical left scene, linksunten was the platform, where all the Call ups, daily political news and explanaitions for attacks where published. It was as important to the left scene as it was apparently to the cops, intelligence service and media, since it was obviously seen as a reliable source andearly-warning systemfor pending riots. The operation of linksunten since as an open network for left media activists was declared a crime by de Maziere.

Currently the BKA is searching for the location of the servers, that were being used by the platform. More raids are to be expected. The timing of this whole action can only be speculated about. It is possible that the Ministry of Interior wanted to polish up their image, after the weekly press releases about the massive police violence against the anti summit demonstrators.

Almost all the raided people, were within the arrested group from that day. They are being charged with severe breach of the peave, attempted physical assault and resistance.
