HERES MINE:
Honorable Judge Welch
On February 15th, 2008 case #07038167RT will come before you relating to a traffic “crash” taking place on 12-16-07 wherein Mr. Ricardo Salinas violated the right of way of Mr. Larry Noel.
This right of way violation cost Mr. Noel his left leg and impacted his life financially,, emotionally and psychologically. He has over $500,000.00 in medical bills and has lost his employment as a result of this crash.
You may note I use the term “crash” as opposed to “accident”.
Please consider the following:
Between the years of 1987 and 2007 Mr. Salinas has incurred 13 criminal violations related to traffic violations and 3 traffic violations.
A record such as this is not an accident, it is a crash waiting to happen. Violation of right away all to often is not an accident but the result of negligence that results in a “crash”. And all to often the result is the death or incapacitation of somebody who was guilty of no crime.
The states attempts to legislate safety has done little to reduce the carnage on the killing fields we refer to as “public” highways. The onus falls to the courts to utilize laws already on the books to send a loud clear message to Florida's motorist. Drive responsibly or your “privilege” to drive will be taken from you. Violate another's “Rights” of way and your “rights' will be taken from you.
Many of us who ride motorcycles are tired of having our right to use public highways that we support with our taxes reduced to that of being a target for those whose only excuse is “I didn't see them”.
With all due respect your honor, we can no longer rely on the legislature to discharge their duties responsibly. We must look to the judiciary to say, “enough is enough” and follow up with action.
I pray that you will consider those that die needlessly on our highways daily and sentence this individual to the fullest extent of the law. To do otherwise would be a miscarriage of justice.
Sincerely,

Daytona Police to ask for DNA on any arrest?????
YO DAYTONA! You want my DNA? Your gonna have to come up here to get it cause any plans I may have had for spending more of my bucks in "Big Brotherville" are out the window. My hope would be that others will feel the same!
Police to seek voluntary DNA samples during arrests
By LYDA LONGA
Staff Writer
DAYTONA BEACH -- If you're driving down the road drunk and stopped by a police officer here and get arrested, you may be asked to do more than blow into a breathalyzer machine.
Police will also want your DNA.
The same thing could happen if you're arrested for trespassing, littering, indecent exposure or any other crime that prompts a cop to slap a pair of handcuffs on you.
Because starting soon, if someone is arrested by Daytona Beach or several other police agencies, officers will ask suspects whether they would like to give a DNA sample.
The Public Defender's Office says the lines between voluntarily giving DNA and believing it's required by law when you're under arrest are easily blurred.
Daytona Beach Police Chief Mike Chitwood, however, is determined.
"We're going to be swabbing people we arrest," Chitwood said, referring to the method police will use to obtain voluntary DNA samples from people. "It (the process) will follow all the legal requirements for it to stand up in court."
Chitwood said he's anxious to establish a strong DNA database. It would serve police in the case of a serial killer who has murdered four women and in all cases, the chief said.
In their quest for DNA and a suspect in the serial murders, Daytona Beach investigators could literally end up knocking on someone's door if they receive a legitimate tip about a suspicious person, Chitwood said. Detectives could ask that person to voluntarily give a DNA sample.
If the person refuses and detectives believe there is probable cause, police could obtain a warrant, or employ other investigative tactics, Chitwood said.
In the last several weeks, tipsters have called in with the names of dozens of people they believe could be the serial killer, the chief said.
"We have looked at a lot of people," Chitwood said. "We've had some really good information."
Two weeks ago, Deputy Police Chief Steve Beres sent several police agencies in the area an e-mail asking them to participate in the new initiative and ask for DNA samples from people they arrest in their respective cities.
"After discussion with profilers, there is a good possibility that law enforcement has, or will come in contact with the suspect in the homicides," Beres wrote in his e-mail message.
Most police officials said they would participate in the push but would first consult their legal departments before starting the effort.
"We'll help Daytona in any way we can," Daytona Beach Shores Public Safety Director Stephan Dembinsky said.
Attached to Beres' e-mail was a "permission to search" form developed by police and the State Attorney's Office. Officers are supposed to present the form when requesting DNA.
But regardless of whether people who are arrested allow officers to swab the inside of their cheeks, the plan sounds outrageous to Public Defender James Purdy.
Purdy said the stress brought on by an arrest can cloud a person's ability to distinguish between a requirement by law and a request by an officer.
"The Legislature states that DNA can only be collected for certain violent offenses," an angry Purdy said Thursday. "If you're arrested for drunk driving, do you want to have your DNA on file?
"We're going beyond the invasion of personal liberty," he said.
The perception by most people is that if they don't voluntarily surrender their DNA to police -- or anything else they may ask for -- they could get treated differently by an officer, Purdy said.
"If someone refuses to give their DNA, that does not mean they've done something," he said. "Your right to privacy is more important than the government's need to know.
"I would not give it (DNA) myself," he said.
