We need more tough on crime politicians for those young hooligans and their drug dealing.  I don't wanna hear the details, just tell me who's tough on crime.


Where's the ballot box?  How do i work this terribly complicated hole punch ballot? 



^{Did I just vote for Al Sharpton?}

10:00 am - I am questioned about the sign, and about what I had going on in my room.  Admitted the mushrooms and everything, was given bad news.

no updates yet.

Thanks misos.  I hope it works out.  I'm not cocky, I'm sure that some shit will happen and I'll end up fucked somehow.  I've got prety good karma I think. 

I might not get charged, though. 

I've read that the judge needs to write his name underneath his signature, but I don't know how credible that information is.  The warrant was signed but had no printed name.

Anyway, I think that the way they entered the house without express consent and behind a person in handcuffs is a mistake by them and may lead to the evidence being suppressed...

That's what I hope.  Also I met a guy that goes to the same church as the judge and knows the county prosecutor.  He said he'd try to put in a good word for me, so who really knows about that and how that will turn out...Hopefully for the best!

I'll keep you updated more.  It's been 3 months and 15 days.  I'm just waiting, knowing that it's coming.

> I mailed my request in 2 months ago for my FBI file and I'm still waiting

The following used to be on the FOIA website, but I can no longer find it...

Under the statute, all federal agencies are required to respond to a FOIA request within twenty business days, excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and legal holidays. This time period does not begin until the request is actually received by the FOIA office of the Department of Justice component that maintains the records sought. An agency is not required to send out the releasable documents by the last business day; it can send you a letter informing you of its decision and then send you the documents within a reasonable time afterward.

Some components of the Justice Department, such as the FBI and DEA, receive thousands of requests each year. Many of these requests require a line-by-line review of hundreds or even thousands of pages of documents. Although the Justice Department makes every effort to respond to FOIA requests as quickly as possible, in some cases it simply cannot do so within the specified time period. This may be due either to the size of the request or to the fact that the component has a backlog of previously received requests that are awaiting processing. Some components use "multi-track" processing queues to deal with their heavy FOIA workloads; components' descriptions of their multi-track processing systems are contained in Attachment C.

Under the FOIA, a component may extend the response time for an additional ten business days when: (1) the component needs to collect responsive records from field offices; (2) the request involves a "voluminous" amount of records that must be located, compiled, and reviewed; or (3) the component needs to consult with another agency or other components of the Justice Department that have a substantial interest in the responsive information. When such a time extension is needed, the component may notify you of this in writing and offer you the opportunity to modify or limit your request. Alternatively, you may agree to a different timetable for the processing of your request.

When a determination on your request is not made within the applicable time period and you have not agreed to a different response timetable, you may file suit in federal court to pursue a response. If, however, the court concludes that you have unreasonably refused to limit your request or to accept an alternate timetable for response, the court may find that the component's failure to comply within the statutory time period is justified. The court may excuse the lack of a timely response if the component demonstrates that it has a backlog of requests that were received before yours, that it processes its requests on a first-come/first-served basis, and that it is making reasonable progress in reducing its backlog of pending FOIA requests. In such cases, the court may postpone its consideration of your lawsuit until the agency reaches your request in its processing backlog.

Alternatively, under Executive Order 13,392 (Dec. 14, 2005), FOIA requesters also may contact an agency's FOIA Requester Service Center(s) to check on the status of their FOIA requests. As mentioned above, the Department of Justice has established such a center for each of its 40 components, with a FOIA Public Liaison named for each, whom FOIA requesters may contact by telephone if they are dissatisfied with the response of the component's FOIA Requester Service Center. (The individual names and telephone numbers are listed, on a component-by-component basis, in Attachment C.) FOIA requesters are strongly encouraged to make use of these new services that are now available to them."
