The Law Can Lie To Justify An Arrest!

About 85% of motorist pull overs involve a minor infraction. About a majority of police vehicle searches happen when an officer observes a possible "criminal act". The officer can make up stuff to do a probable cause search.

About seven weeks into the new year, and I want this be over.

I lost my well paying job at a racino. I lost my opportunity to work at a distribution center that opened up in the region. I was dating a woman for eight months. The woman was pregnant with another man's child and kept it a secret because she didn't want to be a single parent. She lost her child due to still birth. She lied to me and brush me off during the last four weeks before she gave birth.

To make matters worse, I was pulled over by a county sheriff's deputy and issue a ticket for a traffic violation for turn signal.

We'll get to the sheriff story in a moment.

I want you to know that everyone has a bad day. And I am one to testify to it. Everyday, I wake up thinking it's never getting better. I long for the perfect job, the perfect car, the perfect relationship.

None of this happened. I've been challenged with shortcomings and misfortunes. Nonetheless, I will grind me teeth and keep the motor running. Cause every dog has his day, to quote Al Pacino's character Tony Montana.

So as I continue to bring my A-game to Journal de la Reyna, I want you to understand that no one is perfect. I damn well know that I have flaws. I am a human being first, every other adjective and noun last.

I want to share these experiences with you. I am always happy to give my take on issues facing my community, the government and the junk food media. It's a pleasure to do this.

As you know, I am very familiar with the situation with Blacks and the law.

Black males are often seen as violent by those in law enforcement and those in the junk food media.

That's a proven fact. The law often would bias a citizen of color because of an officer's judgement call. Take the situation with Michael Brown. The officer Darren Wilson could lie and mislead his way out of a criminal trial. The officer in the John Crawford shooting. The officer Sean Williams could lie and mislead his way out of a criminal trial. The officer in the Eric Garner stranglehold. Officer Daniel Pantaleo can lie and mislead his way out of a criminal trial. 

These men walked after killing unarmed individuals. 

Not all officers get away with murder. The officer involved in the shooting of Akai Gurley, Peter Liang is being held on involuntary manslaughter. He's a cop. But the difference between the ones who got off and Liang, is skin color. The three officers were white. Liang is Asian.

Everyone knows that getting a traffic citation sucks. Some believe that the cops are picking on you because you did everything right, but according to the officer, you done an infraction.

Did you know that cops can lie to make an arrest?

Yes. They can and will do so.

I was cited by a Montgomery County sheriff deputy for a turn signal violation. The deputy followed me for six blocks before he pulled me over.

I called my friend letting her know that I was getting groceries from the store and I am on my way over. The area is known for illegal drug activities and the woman has a minor criminal history.

I never used drugs and I can't speak for her history of being a drug user. I associate with her by helping her find jobs and food assistance.

I was leaving her home and was proceeding home.

A Montgomery County sheriff's deputy was sitting in a driveway at an apartment. As I passed the apartment the deputy followed me. I wore my seatbelt and was not under the influence of drugs and alcohol.

As I was coming close to my apartment I used my turn signal. As I turned the deputy activated his lights and pulled me over.

As he approached my vehicle, I had my wallet and cell phone in plain sight and my hands on the wheel.

He asked me where I was going and told me the reason for the stop. He claimed that I failed to signal at 100 feet. The deputy followed for six blocks before the pull over.

Ohio Sheriff Deputies usually hang in plain sight for traffic monitoring and illegal activity.

I offered my license and waited patiently. The deputy asked if I had "weed" or drugs in possession. I calmly said I am not a drug user. I also told the deputy I'm a concealed carry and the firearm was not in the vehicle.

Ten minutes passed and the deputy approach my vehicle. He asked if I was willing to have my vehicle searched. I told the deputy that I refuse a search because the deputy has no warrant or probable cause.

The deputy responded back that it will be a few moments. Another deputy and a Dayton officer with a K-9 came.

The deputy asked me to step out the vehicle. They done a frisk search and told me that the K-9 will do a search. Again I refused the search.

The deputy issued the citation first. The other deputy told that I was going to placed in the back of the cruiser while they do a search. The deputies informed me the K-9 detected a hit.

Again I informed the officer that I have no drugs inside my vehicle. I told the deputies that I did not consent to a search of my vehicle. 

The deputies and officer search the vehicle for ten minutes. After the search they let me proceed to my vehicle. I asked for his name and badge before I signed the citation. I briefly "small talked" with the deputy. The deputy said he knew me from a previous job he once worked.

I was let go and proceeded home. About 30 minutes was wasted during this ordeal. The deputy lied about me making a turn signal violation. He saw me leave an area that is known for drug activity.

Does that make me a criminal? No. 

Did he have probable cause to search my vehicle? No.

Does he have the right to mislead on his statements to issue a citation or an arrest? Yes.

Understand, I can be in any area within the United States. If it was a private community or an area where trespassing is not allow, then the officer would have a leg to stand on. He would cite a charge of trespassing or solicitation.

I know my rights as a motorist. 

I did not consent to a vehicle search.

Now I have to appear at the Vandalia Municipal Court to contest the charges.

Now here's the question and answer part for you!

• Could the situation turn out different if I waive a right to a search of my vehicle?

• Do you believe that the police have a right to search your vehicle if you refuse a search?

• If I associate with people (or am a person) with a criminal history, does that perceive a bias in how officers stop motorists?

FBI director James Comey, a white guy said that racial bias exist between police and people of color.

Black and Latino men between the ages of 16 - 39 are often arrested for petty offensives. They are often shot first questioned last. 

Know your rights. Because I am determined to fight back against false detainment and illegal searches. 

I respect all those in law enforcement. Not all cops are bad. Not all cops are good, either.

Dems Ordered The Philly Cheesesteak!

The Democratic Party picks Philadelphia.

Dems will host their convention in Philly. They passed over BKNY and the CO as their final choice.

Republicans picked Cleveland, Ohio as their choice for their national convention. So these events within 245 miles of one another.

Like Cleveland, the people over in Philadelphia, Trenton, Camden, NJ and Wilmington, DE will prepare for the donkeys. The Philadelphia area will see some $$$, protesters and the junk food media swarm the Wells Fargo Center and Philadelphia Convention Center in late July 2016.

Mayor Michael Nutter will do his best to keep the problems out of the event. He will push the ghetto into the trash bin.

The City of Brotherly Love residents will see pizza places and bars rise in revenue. After all the pizza places and nightclubs will be hoping that $$$ will travel. The country, rave, rock and hip-hop music establishments are favorites among young Democrats.

The City of Brotherly Love will host the Dems.

Agitators of the racist right will be in the city with cameras in tow to find that one Black or Hispanic Democratic voter who will say they gotten their "Obama Phone".

As with the Republicans, Democrats are looking for the night life to be a little bit sexy. The pimps and prostitutes will see $$$ in their eyes. The female and male prostitutes will make Democrats feel so good when they arrive. They will probably pick up weed sack.

Philadelphia the fifth largest city in the U.S. is the midway point between New York and Washington, DC. The population is 1.6 million residents.

Philly is close to Atlantic City as well.

It's where America's founding began.

The Democrats will eventually nominate their candidate. They are hosting this gig in late July.

Blame Game: The Murder Of Three Young Muslims In North Carolina!

Three innocent lives were lost to gun violence. This cold blooded killer murder this family over issues with their religion. The racist right wants to label the suspect a "liberal" extremist.

This cold blooded killer is the person the media should focus on. Of course, the junk food media and the partisan agitators have to make note of the suspects "political affiliations" and the victims being Muslims.

A young couple and family member were gunned down by this ignorant bigot. This bigot is facing capital murder in the deaths of Yusor Abu-Salha, 21, and Razan Abu-Salha, 19, along with Yusor's husband, Deah Barakat, 23.

We here at Journal de la Reyna send our condolences to Yusor, Razan and Deah. Their innocent lives were cut short by this Craig Stevens, a 46 year old nerd who had hatred for Muslims.

The agitators are figuring this is a hate crime. Obviously the junk food media has concluded that this dispute occurred over a parking spot.

Police received a report of gunfire shortly after 5pm yesterday in the Chapel Hill neighborhood of Finley Forest; all three victims died at the scene. In a statement today, CHPD reports "our preliminary investigation indicates that the crime was motivated by an ongoing neighbor dispute over parking."

Criminal act....

The Charlotte Observer notes that all three victims were Muslim, and speculation is rife on social media that it could have been a hate crime. The Independent notes a Facebook page in Hicks' name that shows him to be an apparent supporter for "Atheists for Equality" and a frequent poster of images that mock religion. 

Barakat was a doctoral student in UNC-Chapel Hill’s School of Dentistry. The sisters were N.C. State University students.

Barakat's wife, Yusor Abu-Salha, was scheduled to start dental studies at UNC in the fall; the two worked together to lobby for global public health and had just married on Dec. 27 (wedding photo here). Sister-in-law Razan was studying architecture at North Carolina State University. An "Our Three Winners" Facebook page dedicated to the family is up, with a poignant "About" section that says, "Deah Barakat, Yusor Abu-Salha and Razan Abu-Salha have returned to their Lord. They have set an example in life and in death."

NYPD Cop Getting Charged For Firing On Akai Gurley!

New York mayor Bill de Blasio is still feuding with Patrolmen's Benevolent Association's president Patrick Lynch. The union president condemned de Blasio, President Barack Obama and Rev. Perm for "stroking" tension between the New York Police Department and the Black community.

He was pissed that a deranged man fired on two NYPD officers a few weeks after the officer who placed Eric Garner in the stranglehold walked. The protesters called it a travesty of justice.

While Garner's case gotten some attention, Akai Gurley was not mentioned much. Now it's coming to light. 

Some have called for police reform. Rev. Perm and President Barack Obama openly expressed that the law should have body cameras and more training when it comes to dealing with the Black and Latino communities. de Blasio went as far to say that his biracial son had to be extremely careful when dealing with the law.

The racist right and the agitators of Loserville were pissed. They went on radio and television telling the White folks that Obama and Rev. Perm were racial agitators. They were stroking up fears of Black looting, rioting and racial attacks. 

All the while, patrolman Peter Liang was quietly hoping that he would walk too. After all, Liang and his partner were under fire. Liang was patrolling a housing project and fired upon Akai Gurley after being startled in a dark hallway. 

The bullet went right into the chest of Gurley. His girlfriend watched him die right in front of her.

Now Liang, a first year rookie who is Asian American will face the music. Liang was indicted by a grand jury on manslaughter, assault, and other criminal charges. He surrendered to authorities on February 11 where he was arraigned on the charges.

If found guilty Liang could face 15 in the iron college.

Me and S. Baldwin will look keep you informed about this situation.

We send our condolences to the family of Akai Gurley.

Sayonara For Jon Stewart!

Jon Stewart will leave The Daily Show.

The news breaking is that Comedy Central's Jon Stewart is leaving The Daily Show, a series that he's been hosting since 1999.

Stewart who has been a fixture among the faithful watchers is resigning at the end of the year. The Comedy Central president released a statement:

“For the better part of the last two decades, I have had the incredible honor and privilege of working with Jon Stewart. His comedic brilliance is second to none. Jon has been at the heart of Comedy Central, championing and nurturing the best talent in the industry, in front of and behind the camera. Through his unique voice and vision, ‘The Daily Show’ has become a cultural touchstone for millions of fans and an unparalleled platform for political comedy that will endure for years to come. Jon will remain at the helm of ‘The Daily Show’ until later this year. He is a comic genius, generous with his time and talent, and will always be a part of the Comedy Central family,” Comedy Central president Michele Ganeless.

No replacement has been announced for Stewart.

This comes fresh after hearing that Stephen Colbert announced his departure for The Late Show on CBS. Writer and director Larry Wilmore teamed up Stewart to create The Nightly Show.

Righties: Obama's A Greasy Muslim Israeli Hating ....Uh, What Else!

I pledge allegiance to the United States, not Israel. I don't support foreign leaders. I support our president.

The freedom of speech, the internet and the most sensationalist things to come from the racist right.

A few lawmakers, a few conservative agitators and of course the word vomit of their supporters makes the list of controversy today.

And like me, these people are sitting in the comfort of their homes saying stuff they come to regret say if the junk food media spotlights in the public.

Kanye West "Upstages" Beck!

Pop stars Kanye West and Taylor Swift greet each other. Some years back, West upstaged her during her acceptance speech. West continues his controversial temper tantrums when he upstaged music producer/pop singer Beck.

If this was a publicity stunt or another controversial temper tantrum, the rapper/producer Kanye West done it again at the Grammy's. When it came jumping on stage to upstage a celebrity, count on Mr. West to do so.

West jumped on stage after pop singer/producer Beck won the album of the year beating out Beyonce, one of West's closest friends and collaborator.

While Prince was about to hand the Grammy to Beck, West was coming but he backed down and "jokingly" walked back to his seat. Fun stuff right?



West's most famous (I'm sorry infamous) upstage was the one where he jumped on stage at the MTV Video Music Awards and snatched the microphone from Taylor Swift.

He got roundly criticized and had to personally apologize to Swift after this.

And the last famous incident was when he went off the script and bashed George W. Bush handling of Hurricane Katrina. West upstaged Mike Myers and Chris Tucker and caused conservative outrage.

If it isn't bad enough, we got his step-father in law involved in a serious accident in which he killed a woman. Bruce Jenner who is transitioning into a trans woman was involved in an accident on the Pacific Coast Highway and his vehicle crashed into another vehicle and it killed an elderly driver.

Big Suge Going Up The Creek Without A Paddle!

If I could take back what happen? Big Suge knows his days of freedom are over!

There were things going on in the junk food media that happen to catch my radar.

First and foremost, we here at Journal de la Reyna send our condolences to the family of The Jacka, a Bay Area rapper who was gunned down this week. He was a veteran of the hip-hop movement. He was associated with C-Bo and collaborated with E-40, Spice-1 and Yukmouth.

Dominic Newton (August 1977 – February 2, 2015), better known by his stage name The Jacka, was an American rapper from Pittsburg, California. The Jacka got his start with his group, Mob Figaz, whose first album, C-Bo's Mob Figaz, was released in 1999. Newton converted to Islam at a young age and changed his name to Shaheed Akbar. On February 2, 2015, he was fatally shot by an unidentified gunman in Oakland.

Prior to his death, he owned his own label entitled The Artist Records.

Down the way, Big Suge got denied bail. Marion "Suge" Knight the former co-founder of Death Row Records is charged for murder after his vehicle ran over two men killing one. He was trying to start trouble for The Good Doc while he was in Compton. Dr. Dre was there for the filming of the N.W.A. movie and it was a closed set. Big Suge decided to broker a "peace treaty" with his longtime rival.

Apparently Dre didn't get the word. His security cleared Big Suge off the set. There was a lot of yelling and thuggery. And out of nowhere, someone jumps into the vehicle and peels out running over the victim.

Suge still sticking to the code, telling the junk food media and his P.O. that he's not the driver and it was an accident. This accident is the final straw for the music mogul. He's already facing a charge of smacking up a photographer last year and this charge trumped up everything.

He's a doomed celebrity. If found guilty, he could face life in the iron college. Seriously, it would be a 5 - 20 year stay if it wasn't for the fact that Knight has a history of violence and he's part of the Cali three strikes system.

Warrant Arrest Dropped On Dying Bobbi Kristina Brown!

Bobbi Kristina Brown and husband (or rather boyfriend) Nick Gordon. The law and junk food media focuses on him. He clams up after allegations of foul play.

For failure to appear to court, Bobbi Kristina Brown was issued an arrest warrant. Given the circumstances, the court dropped the warrant.

Being said the family is still deciding on whether to let it go... She is on medically induced coma (life support). She is not improving.

The law is looking into situation. They are focusing on boyfriend (not husband) Nick Gordon.

Gordon and his friend (allegedly a dope boy) found the celebrity agitator face down in the bathroom.

The law is considering it a "foul play" issue. CNN reports the status of her brain function won't be known until sedatives are reduced, the source said.

A week after she was rushed to the hospital, details of her condition are scarce. Sources close to the family say she opened her eyes briefly on Monday and also suffered seizures that same day. It was not immediately clear what medical significance these reported events have in Brown's case.

As she fights for her life, more family members are coming to Atlanta to visit the legendary singer's daughter.

Her grandmother, Cissy Houston, mother of the late Whitney Houston, arrived at Emory University Hospital on Friday, a source close the family told CNN.

Other family members, including Bobbi Kristina's father, singer Bobby Brown, have been in Atlanta for days.

She "was not breathing" when Gordon and a friend, who has been identified as Maxwell Lomas, found her inside her townhouse in the Atlanta suburb of Roswell.

They called 911 and performed CPR until emergency crews arrived and took over, police spokeswoman Lisa Holland said.

Nobody knows what caused her unresponsiveness, Holland said, but police consider it a medical incident at this time. She said investigators had found nothing to indicate it was drug- or alcohol-related.

Bobbi Kristina had said she was married to Gordon, but an attorney for her father said the two were never married.

Meanwhile, the three-year anniversary of Whitney Houston's death approaches.

She was found dead in a bathtub at a hotel near Los Angeles on February 11, 2012, hours before she was to attend a pre-Grammy Awards party.

A coroner ruled her death an accidental drowning, with heart disease and cocaine use listed as contributing factors.

Bobbi Kristina is her only child. Bobby Brown has seven other children.

The Cash Fever!

The Powerball is up again. The junk food media is going to drive the poor out to play!

Update: The estimated jackpot was $567 million and the winning tickets were sold in Texas, North Carolina and Puerto Rico. This is a first for the U.S. autonomous territory since joining Powerball in October 2014.

You got the fever?

What type of fever you might ask? 

It's lottery fever! 

The Powerball is up again, ahem! I mean its passed over a half a billion dollars and it can go up without notice. So are you game?

I stated this back in 2013. That the chances are 1:176 by odds. That means you are playing nearly a half of the U.S. population. You are one of 176 million others who are willing to shelve out.

With the huge jackpot such as this Powerball drawing, many Americans are dreaming of a life away from the job. A dream to take a vacation to a place they've always wanted to go.

The impact of being a millionaire comes with a price. You could blow money fast in a few years. Believe me there have been many Americans who lavish in luxury only to be broke in less than 10 years.

Of course, if you're the lucky one. You already know that many friends and family members will be on your case. You will be bothered by almost everyone in the junk food media.

Believe me I am a single man and I bet you my former friends, former girlfriends and family members I don't speak to will come out of the woodwork. They'll act like everything is cool and I am all giving!

Say if you're in the group pool. If you're in the pool and your group won, that one person who didn't play will try to sue the group for a portion of the earnings.

Hey, if you're a single person (not married), you'll be getting requests from suitors. Of course, if you're separated from your spouse or have children, expect the domestic family courts to take a lump out of your winnings.

The IRS and state taxes will be paid immediately upon the victory.

It may take up to a year before you collect the first lump sum of payment. Each winning Mega Millions and Powerball ticket carries a lump sum cash payment option.

The Powerball ticket cost $2 per unit. The Powerball ticket may include a PowerPlay multiplier and each unit cost $3 per unit. You can play up to 10 "lines", for up to 10 "draws" and up to 10 tickets. 

In each game, players select five numbers from a set of 59 white balls and one number from 35 red Powerballs. The number chosen from the red Powerballs may be the same as one of the numbers chosen from the white balls. Players can select their own numbers and/or have the terminal randomly select the numbers (called "quick pick" or "easy pick" among other names, depending on the state). In each drawing, winning numbers are selected using two ball machines, one containing the white balls and the other containing the red Powerballs. 

For the winning numbers, five balls (the white ball numbers) are drawn from the first machine and one (the Powerball number) from the second machine. Games matching at least three white balls and/or the red Powerball win.

Powerball is played in 44 states including the District of Columbia, the U.S. territories of Puerto Rico and U.S. Virgin Islands. 

Like always, you're expected to hear the junk food media talk about the "jackpot" being at record amounts and how they aim the cameras at shoppers purchasing. Each customer saying that if they win....they would change their lives.

Be careful what you play. You are responsible for whatever unit comes out! Be clear in explaining what type of unit you requesting. 

Powerball and Mega Millions are tickets that can not be canceled. You are responsible for whatever unit comes out. Your state lottery commission and the licensed retailer are not responsible for lost, stolen, damaged or altered tickets.

You have to be at least 18 years old to play these games.

Get your tickets.

Best advice for all who win the lottery, is keep a cool head.

The first thing you do is write your name down on the back of the winning ticket. Say if you lose the jackpot ticket! If you have forgotten to sign the ticket and it gets lost, then it's your word against the winner's.

Second, make sure you cancel out your Facebook, Twitter, YouTube or any other social networking website your on. That's the next thing that happens when you're a winner.

Third, you cancel your phone numbers and limit your email intake. Obviously you'll be swamped with phone numbers and well wishers asking if you're willing to shelve out a little cash. Trial lawyers, charity groups, the junk food media and scammers will take advantage of you. Some charity groups will not often bother you, but there are some that pose as legitimate but in reality a scam. 

Fourth, hire a qualified lottery attorney. Make sure you have a qualified attorney who specializes in handling large sums of money. Don't assume every attorney is well respected in handling your financial earnings.

Fifth, don't quit a job until you are sure you've won the lottery. Don't rush to judgment about being a lottery winner. Sometimes a person who wins the lottery never expects it to happen so don't sit around the house hoping the day will come you'll be the millionaire. Don't burn bridges with your job. You may end up back at it if you decide to go back into the workforce.

Sixth, pay off debts to college loans, house, billings, and credit cards. Don't let these issues ruin your credit score or chances at buying better things.

Seventh, invest your money in a trust fund if you have children or family members you can trust if you should die. Make a will or entrust. Make sure you know that you have a family member or a trusted friend who will take care of the winnings once you pass away.

Eighth, have fun with your earnings. Don't blow it on things that obviously will attract negative attention. Yeah, this is a gateway to putting in other venues. Some may blow their money at casinos, horsetracks, fantasy football and online poker. Granted that you are given the right to do whatever you want with your earnings, but seriously are going to get a gold stature of your image? Are willing to have five chefs, a butler, housekeeper, nanny, and chauffeur on the payroll? You going to buy a $100,000 vehicle! 

Ninth, be humble. Cause money will change a person when they're rich. Don't expect your life to be "normal" when you win the lottery. Cause it's not going to be normal. It could a great experience or the worst thing.

Lastly, The Have-Nots Will Always Try To Make You Feel Guilty About Winning. Ignore Them And Be Happy About Your Success.

Okay, let's go back to John Oliver and his take on the lottery.

Empire Rises!

Empire is a hit.

The Lee Daniels drama is a hit among the Black audiences. The hip-hop based drama featuring Terrance Howard and Taraj P Henson has pulled some of the highest ratings yet for the struggling network.

This sleeper may survive the Spring. So far it will finish up its eight episodes. Fox may add more.

The freshman minority based programs that air on the networks includes black-ish (ABC), Fresh off The Boat (ABC), Jane The Virgin (CW), Cristela (ABC).

Fox green lights Empire for a second season.

Are you watching the hit drama?
