police dispatcher who allegedly received sex-related text messages sent by an OPD officer using his city-issued pager is a plaintiff in a civil lawsuit



An Ontario (S. Calif.) police dispatcher who allegedly received sex-related text messages sent by an OPD officer using his city-issued pager is a plaintiff in a civil lawsuit being appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court. Dispatcher April Florio was the girlfriend of officer Jeff Quon in 2003 when an audit of pager messages revealed the explicit messages, and that Quon had frequently gone over the message limit for the city’s pager account. Quon sent messages to Florio, his estranged—a former OPD dispatcher—and to an OPD sergeant, according to the federal lawsuit that claims the city had no right to read the pager messages. In 2007 a jury sided with the city’s contention that the pager and account belonged to them, that Quon had signed the city’s electronic device policy, and that they had the right to examine the account and messages. But a U.S. District court reversed the jury’s decision in 2007. The city appealed that ruling to the U.S. Supreme Court, and that court heard oral arguments on the case last week. The decision, expected this fall, is expected to set an important precedent on workplace privacy, especially involving company-owned cellular phones, pagers and Internet-connected devices. The court’s decision could apply not only to the privacy of the senders of messages, but also to the receivers. Read more about the details of the lawsuit here.
According to court documents filed by the city with the Supreme Court appeal, “This case has its genesis in gross malfeasance which, no one disputes, took place in the Ontario Police Department’s dispatch center in the early part of this decade.”
Dispatcher Sally Bors was under investigation in September 2002, “for providing information to her boyfriend Mark Timbrell, who was a member of the Hell’s Angels motorcycle gang, regarding police investigative activity about the Hell’s Angels in general and Timbrell in particular,” the documents state.

Ex-gang leader has insights to help save kids - CharlotteObserver.com

Ex-gang leader has insights to help save kids - CharlotteObserver.com: "Former gang leader Andre Norman learned three early lessons growing up in poverty:
It's OK to hit people. You have to protect yourself, because no one else will. And you don't have to explain your actions to anyone.
He learned this by watching his father beat his mother and abandon the family without ever saying why. And he learned by watching white kids throw rocks at him on the way to school without anyone trying to stop them."

The Associated Press: Mafia-related fugitive nabbed in Ky. after 2 days

The Associated Press: Mafia-related fugitive nabbed in Ky. after 2 days: "Authorities say they've caught a Mafia-affiliated fugitive who spent two days on the run after kicking out the door of a prison van in Kentucky.
U.S. Marshals Service spokesman Craig Smith said 37-year-old Derek A. Capozzi was captured without incident in Versailles (vur-SAYLZ') Saturday afternoon.
Capozzi escaped from custody on Thursday. He had been in Kentucky to testify in a federal trial.
In 2005, Capozzi was identified by federal prosecutors in Massachusetts as a member of a Mafia-affiliated drug gang that killed a 19-year-old woman suspected of cooperating with investigators.
Capozzi was sentenced to 23 years in federal prison for helping to dismember and hide the body. Authorities said he also was serving time for trying to kill a correctional officer."

John Gotti Jr.: Gangster’s son in a rare candid tell –all! | Entertainment and Showbiz!

John Gotti Jr.: Gangster’s son in a rare candid tell –all! Entertainment and Showbiz!: "One may venture to suggest that scarcely would one bargain for the son of a hard –core gangster, to appear for a tube tryst and spill dark and hitherto unknown secrets about their antecedents and shady operations.
Indeed, the sheer prospect of someone associated with the darker underbelly of society, suddenly appearing on prime time television and candidly laying out details about the codes and operations of their organized crime syndicate, would appear ludicrous on the surface.
However, as per the latest reports, it would appear that the scion of the infamous Gotti family, which for decades has been one of the biggest and most dreaded organized crime syndicates in the United States of America, appeared for a candid tete –a tete on network giants CBS, spilling hitherto unknown trivia about their shady operations.
On the evidence of the latest report, carried by Gather, it is learned that John Gotti Jr., also known as the ‘Dapper Don’, reportedly appeared on CBS’ ’60 Minutes’, and laid bare the story of how he and his father John Gotti Sr. ran one of the most feared and influential mafia syndicates in America.
Again, it also ought to be mentioned in this context that, despite putting him on trial on four earlier occasions, the Federal Government has yet failed to elicit a confession or conviction out of this dreaded scion of the Gotti family."

Sentence in killing of Bloods gang member | Philadelphia Inquirer | 04/09/2010 | GANGSTER

Sentence in killing of Bloods gang member Philadelphia Inquirer 04/09/2010 GANGSTER: "'Nathaniel Craig closed his eyes and squeezed off two rounds at an alleged rival drug dealer ordered killed by the Bloods street gang in Camden.
The 6-foot-7 former Camden High School basketball player was no marksman, however. His wild shots hit another Bloods member in the head while his intended victim fled unscathed, said Craig's lawyer, Murray N. Sufrin.
On Friday, Craig, 20, of Camden, was sentenced to serve 15 years for the death of his alleged partner in crime, Tyrone Powell, 19, also of the city.
'He never shot a gun before,' Sufrin said after the hearing, where Craig thanked Superior Court Judge Thomas Brown for giving him a second chance. Craig will be eligible for parole after 12 years.
'I'm not a bad guy, I just hung out with the wrong people,' Craig told the judge. 'I'm paying for my mistakes.'
He and Powell were armed with .38-caliber and 9mm handguns when they fired at their rival about 4:30 a.m. on July 18, 2007, at the Ablett Village apartments, said Assistant Camden County Prosecutor David Deitz.
The intended victim ducked behind a car that the two shooters riddled with bullets. Suddenly, the gunfire stopped and the man ran, Deitz said.
About the same time, Craig opened his eyes and saw that Powell had been shot in the back of the head. Powell ran to a nearby house, where he collapsed and died.'"

Open Carry Gun Owners Speak Out - CBS 42

Open Carry Gun Owners Speak Out - CBS 42: "He’s got a gun in his holster and he's not ashamed to show it. 'Your crime rate is a hell of a lot higher in England. For everything less than murder, every single crime you can think of is higher in the UK: muggings, stabbings, thefts in general. All because people can't defend themselves, in my opinion” said David Smythies.Smythies grew up in England where guns are against the law. Now a U.S. resident, he's exercising his rights. 'Americans don't know what they could potentially lose if they didn't come out and exercise their right to open carry,” said Smythies.'It’s a right. The opencarry.org saying is 'A right unexercised is a right lost.’ You might as well exercise your right before it’s gone,” said Timothy Brand, who also wears his gun on his right hip for all to see. You may not realize it, but in Alabama, it's legal to carry a firearm openly in public. But the second you conceal it, you need a license. That’s why a group of open carry supporters joined forces Saturday afternoon, hoping to inform the community. Together, they held a blood drive off Lorna Road in Hoover."
