I'm wondering if the police have the opportunity and or the privilege
to look into someones cell phone records to find out if a phone was
being used at the time of an accident.  Personally I think this should
be looked into every time there is an incident or a mishap . . . . .
Oh but then that could dig into our precious freedoms as well as the
phone companies BOTTOM LINE.

Sorry I just needed to get that out ! ! !

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.

This could happen to any of us who ride and share our public roadways.  I'm
sure we'll all be following this closely.
