No, this fine listed above PLUS the Criminal Court penalities, not one or the other!

The smoke was clearly visable from Harriman area this evening. That's roughly 38 miles or so south.

In this scenario, I would not issue a UTT for Cell Phone Use (1225-c) based solely on the second parties word. If it were a fatality or Serious PI, you could take the phone into evidence, and after securing a search warrant, check the call log. The Courts have recently held that absent the search warrant, you cannot start looking thru it, solely incident to arrest.

I never had any difficulty articulating it in Court. Maybe V-2 was initially 500 feet behind, but at some point (immediately preceding impact) they were in fact following too closely. The VTL does not state that the offending vehicle needs to be following to close for a predetermined period of time or distance. Let the operator attempt to offer an affirmative defense of "I wasn't paying attention". Local judges I work with won't let that fly.

When I was on the road I wrote 'Following Too Close', VTL 1129A, all the time. If you weren't following too close, you'd have enough time to stop.

Old "Air 1" - Now "LifeNet 73" at Valhalla Old "Air 2" - Now "LifeNet 74" at Walkill New 3rd Unit - "LifeNet 75" at Harris State Police "Lifeguard 18" a.k.a. 1H18 at Stewart Some still refer to them at 'StatFlight' or 'Air 1' out of habit or tradition...

That's right. That was the original criteria, 25 NM radius. It may have changed, I've been out of the game for a bit now, but that was the Auto-Launch criteria, pre-LifeNet.

NYSP (Statewide, not just Cortlandt) ride 2 to a car from 11p-7a. WCPD provides one patrol (single man) 8a-4p and 4p-12mid.

Many upstate rural counties, there is one Trooper PER COUNTY. Back up can be 20-45 minutes away. That's a fact.

NYSP does require this. The night tour runs 7pm-7am. Troopers double up in one car at 11PM for the remainder of the night. (The contract requires only 12mid-5am, but guys generally do 11p-7a).

What Pipe is this? No rumors, just facts!

Typically, you get a 10 MPH cushion. However, they can be individualized for more or less.

Yes, Republicans have a steller ethics record. Good point! Problems like this are no stranger to either party. Making a case that they are will only show a bias.

Did the Lt have some specific exposure that deemed his death LODD? I am not familiar with the standards in PA.

Rob, Since I have an umarked, how far can I go???
