It is convenient that the manual gives the department ways around even having to ask those questions.<br /><br />Drug tests have to be requested by the investigating officer:<br /><br /><i>Involved Deputies will submit to any/or all of the following: blood, urine, breath or other chemical test <b>as requested</b> by the Administrative Investigator.</i><br /><br />Polygraphs (which are not that reliable):<br /><br /><i>Involved Deputies shall submit to a polygraph examination <b>if requested</b> by the Administrative Investigator.</i><br /><br />Proponents of polygraph testing say it's 90% accurate, critics of polygraph testing say it's 70% accurate. Classes are taught on how to fool the polygraph. <br /><br />The questions may have never been asked because there is no requirement that they have to be asked.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3669412675139526125.post-70242976061364133422016-09-14T22:49:37.555-05:002016-09-14T22:49:37.555-05:00We plan to learn all of those things in the not-to...We plan to learn all of those things in the not-too-distant future. I can say this for sure: I was sitting next to Carol, out on the front lawn (both of us in handcuffs, for no reason), when an officer told us that Carol could go in first to retrieve items, and when she was done, I could go in and retrieve items. We said that was fine, and no one said Carol had to get all items in one trip. I know for sure that cops on the scene changed the rules in midstream, telling me I could not go in at all. My guess is that they communicated to Carol that she could only go in once, and she (understandably) asked why or stated she now was being told something different from what she had been told a few minutes earlier.<br /><br />I hope folks understand what it's like to see your whole life uprooted in a matter of a few minutes -- and you know the cops cannot be there, by law. You are looking at not getting important medications for you and your pet, you are looking at losing wedding pictures, wedding rings, and other items of sentimental value. You are looking at losing your clothes and being left with nothing to wear but what you have on. To say it's stressful would be an understatement. To have cops tell you one thing and then another makes it even worse.legalschnauzerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09619089628125964154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3669412675139526125.post-44392282871864862732016-09-14T21:49:25.710-05:002016-09-14T21:49:25.710-05:00There is nothing verbal, other than a refusal to o...There is nothing verbal, other than a refusal to obey a command, (perhaps trying to edge past officers who told her to stop) that could justify an attempt to stop her, let alone assault her. But I am interested in hearing what back and forth Carol actually did have with them; it could show malice (instead of trying to control entry to the apartment) i.e. they retaliated against perceived insult. That would help and not hurt Carol.<br /><br />I also want to know what their official account of events will be, as in an incident report. There's still no story from them on what was supposedly so provoking.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3669412675139526125.post-52930568339265156512016-09-14T20:10:11.098-05:002016-09-14T20:10:11.098-05:00The answer is yes to both questions, @8:08.
