Thank you Walt, for keeping us informed.
We need to understand that law enforcement often takes some time to
file charges. They want to make sure they have all their ducks in a
row before they file charges and they want to make sure they follow all
procedures and protocols correctly.
Once they file charges, certain clocks start ticking (such as right to
a speedy trial) and all traffic officers have to be careful to follow
certain procedures correctly.
If they don't, the case could be jeopardized, because
defense attorneys will go over every detail of a case with a fine
tooth comb.

I spoke with some folks from the States Attorney office today. The incident has not yet been received by them but depending upon their review of the incident and follow-up investigation, there could well be charges filed. The citation issued is based on the on scene observation of the officer and any additional charges would be filed by the States Attorney following staff investigation and/or submission to the Grand Jury. They are very aware of the significance of the event and the concern that exists in the community. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from GCCMail, please go to http://gccfla.org/.
