Should The Police Control Their Own Body Camera Footage?
https://www.npr.org/2017/05/25/529905669/should-the-police-control-their-own-body-camera-footage
I told him I've never had a ticket. He was very condescending and responded by saying NO.
I was driving 32 mile an hour for more than on miles. There is no way he could catch me with his radar: https://www.quora.com/How-accurate-is-a-police-radar-when-reading-a-cluster-of-cars
I was stopped by a police today Jan. 9/2018 on Delta HWY/NB/Goodpasture. Gave me a ticket.
He was interrogating me!
He asked me FIVE Times if my car was really mine? If the car I'm driving is mine? Who was the first owner of my car? where did I buy it? so many different way of questioning me if the car was mine or it was stolen!
Five Different questions regarding, if I'm actually the owner of my car Honda Accord 2008!
Then, He calls another Police officer!
He kept interrogating me checking my car back & forth, three or four times. He checked the Serial number on my dashboard and compared it with my documents more than THREE TIMES!
I was interrogated more than 20 minutes!
I've never had any speeding tickets! I was coming out of my doctor's office, driving from Willagalispy to delta Hwy.
I had to change lane when all of a sudden I was speeding to change lane.
For only 1/2 minutes. All of a sudden the Police was after me!! It didn't take less than 1/2 a minutes speeding. Then, I was driving according to the speed limit!
That didn't stop him.. He claimed I slowed down because I saw him coming after me!!
Which was a complete fabrication! I was just changing lane, when I was speeding to pass the car in front of me.
After his interrogations for more than 25 minutes and checking my car back & forth several times.
I was driving 32 mile an hour for more than on miles. There is no way he could catch me with his radar: https://www.quora.com/How-accurate-is-a-police-radar-when-reading-a-cluster-of-cars
I told him I've never had a ticket. He was very condescending and responded by saying NO.
"You were stopped by a police in 2011! I had to correct him by saying, he didn't give me a ticket.
It was another case of profiling Muslims students, who were in the car with me.
They had a head scarf. I war driving them to Portland to take English exam. When I was stopped by the Police! I was NOT speeding!
I was lost to find the Freeway in Springfield!
That officer asked me about, why my driving license plate # was blocked.
I told him because I ran for Public offices, and was stalked and ran over.
I & my attorney had to contact the DMV in Salem to block my license #. So no-one will follow me & find out my physical address.
I was driving 32 mile an hour for more than on miles. There is no way he could catch me with his radar: https://www.quora.com/How-accurate-is-a-police-radar-when-reading-a-cluster-of-cars
P.S: I went to court today for not pleading Guilty. To my surprise. The officer who ticked me for false speeding, and was only profiling me. He edited the video tape that was presented as evidence to the judge!!!

Why Dave Frohnmayer is not an acceptable interim President

Why Dave Frohnmayer is not an acceptable interim President
Update: Frohnmayer is now out and I’m not going to waste my time finishing this post. If you still care, links to all the documents mentioned below are available on this site, just click on the labels below. Email me if you want a copy of his email threatening me with a “defamation per se” lawsuit over the state audit of his contracts.
12/4/2011: Rumor is that Jim Bean has withdrawn his candidacy or will as soon as he checks his email. That leaves Frohnmayer as the Board’s leading potential insider alternative to Berdahl.
12/4/2011: Rumor is that Jim Bean has withdrawn his candidacy or will as soon as he checks his email. That leaves Frohnmayer as the Board’s leading potential insider alternative to Berdahl.
Here is Frohnmayer’s 2009 golden parachute sabbatical contract, negotiated with his pal George Pernsteiner. It took me three months and two petitions to the DOJ to force OUS lawyer Ryan Hagemann to produce this contract. It’s not hard to see why. Here’s a video clip of Frohnmayer trying to convince the UO faculty to go along with Pernsteiner’s plan for “voluntary furloughs.”
This was right after Pernsteiner had given Frohnmayer a $150,000 bonus, and taken a raise for himself – which OUS spokesperson Di Saunders then tried to hide from the Oregonian, just as they’d tried to hide Frohnmayer’s previous raises, and who paid for them.
Frohnmayer spent his sabbatical restarting his legal career, not doing the research he claimed he would do. Here’s the state audits division investigation report. He had to write a check refunding UO money.
He was paid for retroactive summer contracts Russ Tomlin set up for him, after the lack of written contracts had been reported. Shades of Mike Bellotti.
Frohnmayer never accepted responsibility for Bellotti, but blamed it all on his scapegoat, Melinda Grier. That’s leadership for you.
He appointed Pat Kilkenny AD, after Kilkenny started making large donations to his Fanconi Foundation. Two weeks before stepping down as President he signed a secret deal with Kilkenny, giving the athletic department half off on overhead and requiring the academic side to pay them $375,000 for using the Autzen skybox.
Here’s his current 600 hours contract with the Law School. Michael Moffitt is now keeping him on a short leash, spelling out what research he (or more likely his former special assistant, Jungian psychologist, and current “leadership” co-teacher Barbara West) must accomplish this year:
Dave’s first 5 years at UO were pretty good for UO. Then came the WRC, Pat Kilkenny, the post-heart-surgery personality changes, the anger, the contempt for the faculty, the sell-outs, and the special deals for his friends in the central administration: John Moseley, Lorraine Davis, Dan Williams.

Rumor is that Frohnmayer’s former secretary Carol Rydbom spent a year combing through his presidential papers (while on the UO payroll, of course) before transferring them to the UO archives. I wonder what was in the parts that didn’t make the cut? I wonder what she missed, and what is in those letters and emails that did make it into the archives.
No more of Frohnmayer’s old guard. No more Frohnmayer. Unacceptable.
