Fielding a Few Questions About License Revocations for Failure to Appear and Comply – North Carolina Criminal LawNorth Carolina Criminal Law. I wrote last week about the expiration of emergency orders that had temporarily halted clerks from reporting to DMV a person’s failure to appear or to pay monies owed in a Chapter 20 criminal or infraction case.
When DMV receives such a report, it imposes a license revocation pursuant to G.S. 20-24.1, unless the person does one of the following before the revocation goes into effect: Princeton Goes For The Title IX Jug Handle. As was clear to Southern District of New York Judge John Koetl, there was nothing about the new Title IX rules to justify a delay in their imposition.
So Princeton’s decision to change its procedures to comply with the new rules on August 3d might seem like a wise choice. During an Aug. 3 webinar open to the University community, the Council of the Princeton University Community (CPUC) voted to approve a revised Title IX policy to comply with federal guidance — as well as a separate “University Sexual Misconduct policy” addressing incidents outside of Title IX’s recently-narrowed scope.
But Princeton took it a step further, and in a somewhat different direction. See what they did there? As the new Title IX regs simultaneously removed from their purview conduct that was beyond the scope of the university’s control, jurisdiction, business, and added in basic due process features like live cross examination for the conduct that still fell within Title IX’s grasp. Which Is To Be Master? There have been some curious discussions of pedagogy of late, from 2+2=5 to whether the rules of grammar should be abandoned, in recognition of diversity and inclusiveness.
Or, as the more blunt put it, anti-racism. Short Take: Can The NYPD Be This Stupid? Yes. Helicopters in the air.
Dogs in the hallway. RMPs everywhere and tons of cops. Seaton: The Drew Dilemma. This week Federal agents arrested American Ninja Warrior star Drew Dreschel.
Charges against Drew range from “manufacture of child pornography” to “travel with the intent to engage in illicit sexual conduct with a minor.” According to TMZ, Dreschel will be held without bail until his trial in New Jersey as a judge found him to be a flight risk and danger to the community. The New Cops On Lawn Chairs. For years, I’ve highlighted failings within the legal system.
Police are one of the major sources of problems. Prosecutors, judges and defense lawyers too, but police play a far different role in society. Most of the time, cops didn’t like what I had to say about them much. I was always criticizing, and it hurt their feelings not to be recognized for the good they do. Even when I wrote something nice about cops, it wasn’t enough for them.
Cancel Culture Karma. It should be uncontroversial for a teacher or professor to openly support Black Lives Matters, whether as a concept or an organization, even if the two aren’t quite the same and the former is more of existential concept than a particular ideology with clear edges and purpose.
After all, black lives matter, and to affirmatively suggest they don’t matter is the racism sought to be eradicated. But does failure to attend protests, wear BLM-branded clothing, say it regularly on social media make one a racist? In some quarters, it does. What about saying anything positive about police, supporting the cops while others riot for their abolition? UNC Daily Tar Heel Proudly Destroys Students’ Lives. The children running the Daily Tar Heel, the campus newspaper for the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, sued the school under the state public records law for the identities of students “found responsible” for sexual misconduct under Title IX.
Its reason, unsurprisingly, was “transparency.” Not transparency for its own sake, but for the “survivors.” When we asked the University for these records in September, I wrote a column about why we wanted to take on this fight. All those reasons are still true.But this isn’t an ordinary story, or even an ordinary lawsuit.As an editor, I believe in open records and celebrate the fact that The Daily Tar Heel is independent and therefore capable of suing UNC. As a woman, well — try to find one of us who hasn’t been groped, catcalled or harassed. Individuals found responsible of sexual assault or sexual violence include Jalek Felton, former UNC basketball player.
Seaton: Lawyers, Baseball and Money. Today we’re going to visit a story about America’s national pastime, cultural insensitivity, and how one determined lawyer can fuck everything up.
In other words, this is about as American a story as one can tell. Baseball is a game played all over the world. It’s common to see players in Major League Baseball from all nationalities. Even though it’s referred to as “America’s National Pastime,” there are leagues in places like Japan and Korea where games draw huge crowds of enthusiastic fans. What Is a Sexual Act? – North Carolina Criminal LawNorth Carolina Criminal Law. What acts qualify as sexual acts? For North Carolina criminal law purposes, it depends on the context. The words “sexual act” show up in several places in the General Statutes.
In G.S. 14-27.20(4), sexual act is defined as cunnilingus, fellatio, analingus, anal intercourse, or the penetration of any object into the genital or anal opening of another person’s body, but not vaginal intercourse. That definition applies for the purposes of Article 7B of Chapter 14, Rape and Other Sexual Offenses. News Roundup – North Carolina Criminal LawNorth Carolina Criminal Law. As the Winston-Salem Journal reports, the death of John Neville at the Forsyth County Detention Center continued to animate calls for justice and accountability in Winston-Salem this week after surveillance video footage of the circumstances surrounding his death was made public.

A twit of such banal obviousness caught a little attention for an unexpected reason: 2+2=4I will die on this hill. No, this wasn’t written by a third grader, but by an old lawyer. Judge Reeves’ Masterful Advocacy. The fact pattern is the sort that makes for a good crim law exam, implicating a broad array of bad Supreme Court law designed to facilitate the worst cop in taking action for the worst reasons, not the least of which is the assumption that a black man driving a Mercedes convertible has to be a drug dealer. After all, how else could Clarence Jamison have such a cool car? But Judge Reeves wasn’t about to let this opportunity be wasted. The numbers after each assertion relate to the footnotes in Judge Reeves’ opinion, and I’ve left them in so that there is no doubt that each is an accurate reflection of what happens in real life.
Most will be familiar to readers here. If not, it’s not important. No, the elimination, or perhaps reform, of qualified immunity won’t end racism, won’t prevent cops from violating people’s constitutional rights, and won’t cure what ails criminal law. North Carolina Court of Appeals (August 4, 2020) – North Carolina Criminal LawNorth Carolina Criminal Law. This post summarizes opinions issued by the Court of Appeals of North Carolina on August 4, 2020. (1) Trial court did not commit plain error in instructing the jury regarding the charges of felonious child abuse by sexual act based on the pattern jury instruction providing a broader definition of sexual act than applies to offenses under Article 7B of Chapter 14; (2) Trial court did not commit plain error by failing to strike testimony from forensic interviewer that child made a tentative rather than a full disclosure; (3) Trial court did not commit a clerical error in sentencing the defendant to a maximum sentence that was calculated based on the minimum term actually imposed.
