# I am responding to a report on CNN last night.

# They showed a photographer, Jock Sturges, and some of his unpublished

# Why have you confiscated photos if no sex is involved? As far as I can

#
# The fact that you've confiscated the photos, but still haven't charged

# where law enforcement wasn't sure, for this particular charge.

* "Police in California Fight Citizen Complaints"
* By Tim Golden, The New York Times, 8/15/1996
*
* With a quiet but forceful lobbying campaign, officers' unions and their
* supporters are pressing for new state laws that would remove unsubstant-
* iated complaints from police personnel files and limit the time in which
* a citizen's complaint must be investigated.
*
* Only 4% of complaints are upheld by review boards, and 70% are ruled
* inconclusive. Over time, some officers build up quite a bulk of complaints
* in their personnel file. Police chiefs oppose the legislations because it
* could undermine early warning systems for spotting bad officers.
*
* In some states, police unions have begun filing libel suits against those
* who file police complaints.
*
* The police officers assert that paper trails on complaints can ruin
* law-enforcement careers.
Police are the same bunch of law enforcement personnel who keep extensive
non-criminal notes and allegations on citizenry.
In fact, NYC Police have TWICE been caught using a form marked "for unofficial

On June 27, 1997 a story broke about a new report showing "heavy marijuana
use makes the same changes in the brain as cocaine and heroin, and it causes
the same withdrawal symptoms in the brain".
Only MSNBC reported it this way: Brian Williams said, "A new preliminary
study shows that cocaine, heroin, ALCOHOL and marijuana all cause similar
changes in the brain over time." But the picture and thrust of the story
was still focusing on marijuana.
What was COMPLETELY MISSING was shown on C-SPAN the previous
