CBS) LIVERMORE, Calif. - As shortcuts go, this was an expensive one. A Livermore woman caught walking across railroad tracks near her home got a $6,000 fine for trespassing...Laura Rensink, a veterinarian and mother of three, said that during her lunch break on June 7 she crossed the tracks on foot. "I went over here and crossed this way to get home,"

Indy Police are refusing to allow railroad traffic through on gameday and are forcing the railroad to submit to "inspections" all week long.

The recent trial of the BART police officer Johannes Mehserle who shot and killed Oscar Grant has left many wondering if justice was served. A good question to ask may be what would have happened if the tables were turned. What if a young black man had accidentally shot and killed a police officer?

Cops: South Carolina Man Dangles 5-Year-Old Over Pit Bull

LANCASTER, S.C. (CBS Charlotte/AP) — Police are looking for a Lancaster man who investigators say dangled a 5-year-old child over a pit bull after the child kicked dirt as his car and cursed at him.

Authorities say a judge has issued a warrant for third-degree assault and battery against 22-year-old Michael Chavis Jr.

They convinced Flores to let them in by claiming to be law-enforcement officers seeking fugitives, then shot him point-blank in the head when he questioned them and wounded his wife, Gina Gonzalez. And then, while she pleaded for her life, they shot Brisenia in cold blood in the head. (Her sister, fortunately, was sleeping over at a friend's.)

"They had helicopters. They had people all over here, you couldn't walk the streets. They got people detained for four hours out there on the ground like we shot this police officer."

This woman, a resident of the community that was searched, was especially angered that Bullard chose to identify his fake shooter as a black male. "That's not right. It's all they do around here. A black person. Everything that happens, a black person."

Rodriquez told the cops they had no right to be in his trailer, and that's when things got wild.

Officer Chrisman pulled out his gun, held it to Rodriquez's head, and said "I don't need no warrant, motherfucker."

With a quota driven system that forces cops to meet summonses and arrest numbers, I fear that unarmed motorist will be shot by inexperienced rookie cops that are trained to shoot first and ask questions later. These constant interactions between people and police are a recipe for disaster and will cause far more harm than good as nervous cops with guns converge on cars that approach this intersection after dark.

In Illinois, you need the permission of the state to record on the street. It is illegal make audio recordings of cops going about their duty arresting unlicensed street artists and other ne’er-do-wells.
