NYPD "Receipt"

Here it is, the "stop and frisk" receipt that NYPD will be required to give to everyone they have a police interaction with:


You can bet ours won't be nearly so simple, seeing how it was written in conjunction with ACLU lawyers and Department pinheads. From the accompanying article:
  • The NYPD has formally introduced the “receipt” cops will now be required to issue to anyone they question during street stops, the Daily News has learned.

    Patrick Lynch, head of the largest NYPD union, the Patrolmen’s Benevolent Association, called the new paperwork “another nail in the coffin of proactive policing” and predicted a rise in retaliatory complaints against cops.

    “Instead of improving community relations, these receipts will accelerate an increase in crime and disorder, which will damage the city’s economic health while hurting those crime-ridden communities who need our protection the most," Lynch said.
How bad will it affect policing in New York?
  • Street stops reached a record high of nearly 700,000 in 2011 but are on a pace for about 42,000 this year.
We expect similar reductions in contacts here, along with the accompanying rise in mayhem that New York is experiencing now, too.

I wouldn't stop anyone. I wouldn't talk to anyone. Hell, I wouldn't even look at anyone. The 42k stops this year will plummet even further.

You have to be out of your mind to stop anybody and make out one of these forms. You are begging for a lawsuit. Put you horse blinders on and do the very minimum police work you are required to do. Give the city the police department they deserve.

OT, and from previous comments:

To the Quoter who put Lemmer in the same boat as Georgas...Georgas is an educated guy, he is a worker and just doesn't like dog Asses who do nothing !!!! He doesn't think that he is God's gift to police work...Georgas put together the entire NATO detail...
9/27/2015 04:29:00 PM


Georgas has a master plan, and that plan involves making himself look good in the eyes of the mayor and the superintendent. I have never met someone as focused on getting himself promoted as he is...well...there once was this guy named Leo...but that is a story for another day.

Debra Kirby would be surprised to know that Georgas "put together the entire NATO detail," as there were many others involved in the process, and they all reported to her.

Also, over the years there have been numerous rumors of "secret study groups" and the promotional process. Here are the irrefutable facts:

Georgas, Kennedy, Caluris, and several others were in a study group for lieutenant when all of them were Maurer's "inside guys." At the time, Maurer was a Senior Subject Matter Expert (SSME), and as such he helped write the exam, along with the test developers. And before the exam was administered, Maurer, Hiram Grau, and Terry Hillard were able to review every line of that exam. And every member of that study group was promoted to lieutenant, with rank scores of #1 (Kennedy, Maurer's long-time administrative sergeant), #3, #4, and so on. ENOUGH SAID.

The only flaw in Steve's master plan is that he drags PO Kim K. as his "secretary" everywhere he goes. The problem lies in the fact that she can't keep her mouth shut about even the most confidential matters, and she has such an incredible sense of entitlement that she thinks that she is the deputy chief. Even other high-ranking members know that this is a fact. She's a full-duty PO who deserves to be in a district working midnights.

There are 8 people on that board. 5 city (Kurt "I wantta be mayor", 3 appointees, and Lapdog) and 3 police. We are fucked until we can at least it get it to 4 and 4.

Lappe can't get others on the board to do anything. If we know he's a pea brain and don't respect him, don't you think the other trustee cops have his number as they watch him cozy up to Rahm and the gang meeting after meeting?

I can't imagine any cop who has any brains handing out these receipts. And, if I am right, then yes, street interactions will drop like a lead ball and crime will rise. Then the liberals will be calling for the heads of cops for not doing their jobs. No one can see into the head of a police officer and make him/her take enforcement action. I know in Chicago they tried at various times with having supervisors ride along with officers because their production was low. The sergeant would point out what they thought were infractions and direct the officer to take action. If the supervisor did not come to court the case was dismissed.

Green Beret discharged for shoving accused Afghan rapist speaks out

September 28, 2015

"EXCLUSIVE: A Green Beret ordered discharged after he and his team leader body-slammed an alleged Afghan child rapist is speaking out against the Army's effort to punish him, as he fights to stay in the service.

"Kicking me out of the Army is morally wrong and the entire country knows it," Sgt. 1st Class Charles Martland said, in his first public statement on his case.

"Martland gives a blunt account of the September 2011 encounter with the "brutal child rapist," local police commander Abdul Rahman.

"His team leader Capt. Daniel Quinn...[said that] a boy claimed he was "tied to a post in Rahman's house and was raped repeatedly for 10 days to 2 weeks." When his mother tried to stop it, he said, "Rahman instructed his brother to beat her; which he did." Quinn got a "first-hand confession" but "the child rapist laughed it off and referenced that it was only a boy."

"Captain Quinn picked him up and threw him," Martland said. "I [proceeded to] body slam him multiple times." Quinn said, "I physically threw him through our front gate and off our camp."

"While I understand that a military lawyer can say that I was legally wrong, we felt a moral obligation to act," Martland said."

Cut Taxpayer-Funded Public School School Bus Rides for ALL Students that live within 3/4 of a mile from Public School, or charge their parents at least $100 a Month for this Service, per child user.

That they see nothing wrong with it that 100% of the elected spots could be held by retirees. How they have the best interests of everyone in mind and know best. Well is that a two way street? As an active member I am extremely interested in retirees issues because I one day will be one. How come FOP did not send out this info to all members???

What retirees fail to realize is that an active member has interests in both active and retiree benefits a retiree only needs to concerns themselves with retiree benefits.

Answers to your questions.

**I'm not a police officer so I want to ask, how is this new idea Rahm and alderman approved supposed to help me, an average law abiding citizen?**

In reference to the actual receipt part, It doesn't help you at all. In fact it may do the opposite. For the most part,law abiding citizens do not have much contact with police. But on those occasions that they do, they usually walk away from the situation with a verbal warning depending upon attitude and the severity of their "mistake". The receipt merely provides the individual with the name and star number of the officer as well as the reason behind the stop. Well guess what else already has all that information on it?? If you said a citation or an arrest report then you are correct. Which ones also, on the surface, has more legitimacy to it?? If you said a citation or an arrest report again then you are on a roll. This is why it doesn't help you, officers will be less inclined to address less serious situations (which is typically going to be drinkers, pissers etc. things commonly referred to as quality of life issues pertaining to the overall public) unless they are willing to make an arrest or issue citations. This also means that on those instances where the law abiding citizen commits some sort of violation that the officers feel they have to address, there is less of a chance of you getting that verbal warning anymore.

**I want police response times to IMPROVE and I just don't see that happening with more paperwork to slow you guys down. **

You might actually see an improvement in this however. Why? Because the less proactive the police are, the less they are doing, the more they are available to answer calls. However, it could go the other way and the less proactive the officers are, the more crime occurs and that could lead to more reports which may take care of any extra available police. Kind of a paradox and only time will tell.(Note: this is NOT the intention of the individuals who proposed this, merely a byproduct of being less proactive)

cont.. part 3

**Who exactly will this benefit other than criminals?**
It only benefits the criminals and the lawyers. The criminals in that this will lead to less obstructions to their criminal endeavors (less pro-activity). And the lawyers because it just makes it easier to identify the officers that stopped their "clients" and therefore identifies their targets for lawsuits (those hard working officers that are actually out their being proactive). This saves them from having to acquire the information themselves and just aides in fast tracking frivolous lawsuits. The premise will be that if the same officer is stopping the same mope then the officer must be harassing an innocent minority. That is how we are portrayed and that is the environment that we have to adapt to. Much of the public does not trust our judgement and believes everything that a police officer does is based on race. Not every stop merits an arrest and often, the mopes out their hustling, selling, and looking for a crime of opportunity are prepared to be stopped. However, following this line of thinking, when attorneys start actively seeking out mopes that have numerous receipts (meaning they were stopped and not arrested), they will use these to build a case of harassment and sue. Lawyers will be looking for quick payouts and providing services for a large % of the settlement. Oh, and guess who pays for all that? If you said the law abiding tax paying citizen of chicago then you are right again.

cont.. part4

It is as if they thought that up till now the police operated under some sense of anonymity. This is false. Our names, stars, and the reasons we stopped an individual are already recorded on a contact card, citations, or arrest reports. Not to mention that district blue shirts roll around in a car that has numerous identifying numbers on them as well as our names and star numbers prominently displayed on our uniforms. All other facets of the department are required to display their star when taking police action, as well as providing the same documentation via contact cards, citations, and arrest reports. So this seems to be a redundant law that will have catastrophic effects on the way police do their jobs.

**Again, the criminals rights seem to be more important than mine.**

In this case, yes. That is what your liberal democratic local government is saying. They are pandering to maintain the political support of minority groups by feeding into the premise that the police is the problem, and not the criminals who are forcing the police to take action in the first place. And unfortunately for the law abiding citizens, these government tools are getting the police department that they want, at your expense.

The reason that the police officers in the recent high profile cases were not convicted of anything is because despite the best efforts of prosecutors to skew the evidence and adjudicate the cases through the biased media, they did not act in a criminal manner. Police officers are human, and they make mistakes. But the idea that every incident should be looked at as an intentional attack because the criminal happened to be a minority is ridiculous.

It always amazes me that african americans have fought the stereotype of every black man is a criminal, yet they embrace and claim criminals as their own with the "black lives matter" mantra when a minority criminals actions leads to his own death. Black lives do matter, nobody said that they didn't. In fact they matter so much that the police officers are there to protect them every day, risking their own lives to do so despite the hatred and contempt we get from the very community we are protecting.. However, criminal lives matter less than the public's, and definitely less than the police officers that has to intervene in the situation that the criminal created.


**Complete bull shit.**

I agree.

We have all been laughing about how the easily predicted parade of self promoting career bosses will all be coming to roll calls telling the lowly POs to "not be deterred and keep making the stops." "35th street wants more contact cards." Then they will go back to their offices and watch TV, a movie, or surf the net before they go home 3 hours early. Clowns!

Yacht club hot after Chicago Fire Festival damages boats, canopy

09/28/2015, 11:55am

"The conflagration at Northerly Island may have finally been the success organizers of the Great Chicago Fire Festival had envisioned, but some boaters at Burnham Harbor found themselves bombarded by ashes and embers carried by the wind.

"“It was like a meteorite shower,” Chris Edmonds, vice admiral of the Burnham Park Yacht Club, said Monday. “Red sparks were coming down like a snowstorm.”

"Embers burned holes through the private club’s new vinyl canopy that covers its outdoor patio, causing an estimated $6,000 damage.

"The club was hosting an event Saturday night for new members, some of whom were dining outside when the chaos began, Edmonds said.

“People were out there with their kids,” he said.

"Embers also fell on boats, Edmonds said. One burned a hole through a sail that was lying on a boat’s deck. Canvas covers of other boats were also damaged.

"An ember landed on canvas covering Paulette Horne’s dinghy. Onlookers, thankfully, were able to put it out, she said.

“I know a lot goes into planning an event like that. But fire next to a harbor? I don’t know how well that was thought out. It was pretty darn scary. That’s all I can tell you,” Horne, 50, said Monday.

“I plan to reach out to organizers of the event and their insurance provider,” said Edmonds, an attorney.

"The Great Chicago Fire Festival burned a structure on Northerly Island Saturday night. The performance was hailed as a success after a dud last year in which the fire failed to fully ignite.

“Whoever organized this obviously doesn’t know anything about boating or wind conditions,” Edmonds said. When firefighters arrived to check the roof of the yacht club for damage “they were absolutely livid...”

I just came back from a week at a friend's house near Knoxville, Tennessee. What a great house for just over 200 grand and the property tax is only, wait... $800.00 a year plus 90 buck a month for street maintenance. He also pays for garbage collection and water, but the fees are low. But, the amazing think is that you can buy a rifle or a handgun or ammunition at the flea markets and at garage sales and all you need is you state driver's license. No waiting period, no FOID card, no mountains of paperwork, no hassles . And, they don't have nearly the shootings and killings that you see up here/ That tells me that the behavior of the population is in question, not the amount or availability of firearms. Something no one wants to talk about. Concealed carry is a big think in Tennessee. I think we have a problem with the local populace.

District Attorney on New York's Long Island bans prosecutors from owning guns

September 28, 2015

"The district attorney of one New York county is prohibiting prosecutors from owning a handgun -- a rule some law experts claim is unconstitutional.

"The Nassau County District Attorney's Office on New York's Long Island bars its prosecutors from possessing a handgun, even at home, unless a special exception is made by the Acting District Attorney, Madeline Singas, according to an application for employment.

"Assistant district attorneys are not permitted to apply for a handgun permit nor own or possess a handgun while employed by the Nassau County District Attorney. Any exception to this policy must be in writing and approved by the District Attorney," the application states.

Eugene Volokh, a professor at UCLA School of Law, said Monday the policy violates an individual's Second Amendment rights as well as an important New York state statute. "I'm not arguing they should have extra rights beyond what everyone else has; I'm arguing they should have the same rights."

9/27/2015 04:29:00 PM

Georgas has a master plan, and that plan involves making himself look good in the eyes of the mayor and the superintendent. I have never met someone as focused on getting himself promoted as he is...well...there once was this guy named Leo...but that is a story for another day.

Debra Kirby would be surprised to know that Georgas "put together the entire NATO detail," as there were many others involved in the process, and they all reported to her.

Also, over the years there have been numerous rumors of "secret study groups" and the promotional process. Here are the irrefutable facts:

Georgas, Kennedy, Caluris, and several others were in a study group for lieutenant when all of them were Maurer's "inside guys." At the time, Maurer was a Senior Subject Matter Expert (SSME), and as such he helped write the exam, along with the test developers. And before the exam was administered, Maurer, Hiram Grau, and Terry Hillard were able to review every line of that exam. And every member of that study group was promoted to lieutenant, with rank scores of #1 (Kennedy, Maurer's long-time administrative sergeant), #3, #4, and so on. ENOUGH SAID.

The only flaw in Steve's master plan is that he drags PO Kim K. as his "secretary" everywhere he goes. The problem lies in the fact that she can't keep her mouth shut about even the most confidential matters, and she has such an incredible sense of entitlement that she thinks that she is the deputy chief. Even other high-ranking members know that this is a fact. She's a full-duty PO who deserves to be in a district working midnights.

One good thing about the NY form: No subject name/info on the form. "Eyes dont have to givs you my name, Eyes knows my rites!!"

When the body cams arrive - you could record the "presentation" of the street stop diploma to the good citizen. Maybe have a local Mc Donalds award a Happy Meal if you have at least 3 street stop diplomas in one week.

What is the actual purpose of collecting contact cards? Other than a contest between bosses to impress the new yorker, what real police purpose do they use them for? Keeping someone's someone safely employed in a "contact card processing" office. Has anyone actually said how the information on those cards is used? What is the cost/benifit for storing the data? Is the information really useful other than for lawsuits by bottom feeding lawyers? I remember when they had inspectors remove all gang cards etc from tact offices because a judge ruled that it was illegal to keep such files. I really don't think that the department would or could use them for any police purpose because people are forced to make them out and the people stopped have been known to lie. You can't guarantee they are accurate. It seems like a piss poor way of policing but we know that!

Clearly the political class is pandering to a segment of the population that finds police cops venturing into certain neighborhoods to do police cop stuff intrusive and obstructive to their way of life. That's fine. I would just as soon not go into certain neighborhoods at all, but damn it we keep getting called back there like 40 times a night to resolve disputes and solve problems.

Which is it, people? Do you want police or not? Make up your minds. But choose wisely.

And I like the phone number on the right side of the page about how to allege police misconduct. As easy as ordering a pizza. Groundless beefs will skyrocket. Sure, they may e eventually be unfounded but police cops will have to deal with administrative bull shit in the meantime. Who has time for that noise?

I don't blame the cops for not wanting to stop anyone due to this nonsense. However, since they will be forced to make some stops, my guess is that they will stop those less likely to be true trouble makers (aka ghetto bangers) and will instead stop non-trouble makers (for example, a soccer mom who doesn't quite make a full stop at an intersection).

Trust me, I'm not blaming the cops, but due to bullshit like this, those that SHOULD be stopped most likely WILL NOT be stopped. And if the bosses demand more stops, it will be those who really don't need to be stopped....because they will not scream racism, etc.

Ah, yes...the "Round Table." It's been a long time since I've heard that term. This poster is 100% correct, as is the previous poster who brought up Maurer's involvement in the development of the promotional exams and the fact that his "guys" scored remarkably well on the test. The "Round Table" was alive and well as recently as when Maurer was Chief of Patrol or, as he likes to say, Deputy Superintendent, even though his successor Charles Williams was the first Deputy Superintendent of Patrol. Maurer used to have his secretaries call all of the "members" to tell them to meet at Dugan's North, Jack Kennedy's deck, etc. And apparently the "Round Table" still exists, as Georgas is now in a position to "make" people. The big question is, how long will it take him to make the last of Maurer's administrative sergeants, Jimmy F., (now a sergeant in Gangs) a lieutenant? Jimmy didn't have enough time in grade to make it with the others while Maurer was still around.

ENOUGH SAID! WRONG SILLY BOY Tommy go get in your box.

Georgas, Kennedy, Caluris, and several others were in a study group for lieutenant when all of them were Maurer's "inside guys." At the time, Maurer was a Senior Subject Matter Expert (SSME), and as such he helped write the exam, along with the test developers. Also, over the years there have been numerous rumors of "secret study groups" and the promotional process. Here are the irrefutable facts:
#1 Forgot Biggane made Lt off the next list Maurer Admin Sgt
#2Caluris was a Cline guy- Maurer hated Cline because Cline was chosen over the "Savage Caller" for sup
#2 Kennedy and Georgas made Sgt off of different tests but within a year apart, made Lt together how did Maurer pull that off ??? He wasn't even that bing of boss then maybe Commander of A/4.
#3 NO wrong test the true secret study group was 2003 with SME Capt Jan Robarts Dillion- Lemeka, Stiscak,Casey desk crew from 017. Jan gave Casey/ on medical leave her friend the second portion of the test at Casey's home. In fact Palowhouski the SGT union Pres tried to file an injunction due to the aforementioned before he stole a million dollars.
#4 notify the watch Commander Lts, exam scam Sgts-dumb ass probably was not on the job yet
#5 Not every one liked Townsend but at least he would make a decision, so will Georgas and stand by it, which is more than can be said of 90% of the current exempts. Did Stevie step on your toes ouchie.
#6 Your Biggest Mistake: Thomas J. Lemmer is a complete whack job, Cletus the slack jaw local from the Simpsons, should of spent some of that big capt money to get his teeth fixed, and his mouthwash ain't cutting it.
#7 Not our fault you cant pass a test. Georgas was not merit so gfys, because almost all the others (Exempts) with him at one time or another were.

PS. Lemmer tell your minions to stay off the blog enough said.

Georgas and Chris Kennedy and a few others studied for the promotional exams in Jack Kennedy's basement from the grassy knoll while making dangerous mind enhancing smoothies with the magic bullet, and were blessed to basque aura of forbidden prior knowledge. Caluris was the patsy.

Yes yes great One of knowledge! you are correct sir! all for but one small thing James O'Grady the former super called it not the round table but the "Octagon". It was all knowing an ever powerful.

It consisted of officers who came on the job together Maurer,Kennedy,Stevens,and Radtke they worked together drank together remained life long friends those evil men. The round table was their open, inside joke/excuse to meet up and drink. Of course many a hanger=-on soon to followed.

On the other hand-Jim O'Grady who was super under Balandic resigned immediately after Byrne became mayor elect 1979. O Grady returned briefly in late 1981 to be the First Dept until 1983, O'Grady was from a earlier generation of policing. Yet it had been foretold that 3 decades later Kennedy and Georgas would being given the answers to the Lt. test

As you can tell I just love history. It was so much more easier when you mushes said that Kennedy was related to the Kennedys and Steve Georgas was related to Daley's former Chief of staff Georges even though her name is spelled differently.

God Bless Jimmy O'Grady and his family, thank for all your dad did for my family in our time of need. Sadly this is not your father's police Dept.
