Why does California law enforcement announce DUI checkpoints?

"This is done as a result of case law, specifically Ingersoll v. Palmer, " Lincoln Police Department Officer Brett Schneider told FOX40.com. "This case law established guidelines for evaluating the constitutionality of checkpoints. Prior public notice was one of eight requirements also known as the Ingersoll 8." Traffic stop of a mother and young son was a ‘case of mistaken identity,’ Sacramento Police say In 1984, California conducted its first official checkpoint in Burlingame, according to casetext.com.

Besieged Gaza cut off from the world after heavy Israeli bombardment knocks out communications

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:05:52 GMT

JERUSALEM (AP) — Israel struck targets in the Gaza Strip with stepped-up bombardment and artillery fire overnight into Saturday, knocking out communications and creating a near-blackout of information by largely cutting off the besieged enclave’s 2.3 million people from contact with the outside world.The Israeli military said it was expanding ground operations in the territory, signaling it was moving closer to an all-out invasion of Gaza, where it has vowed to crush the ruling Hamas militant group after its bloody incursion in southern Israel three weeks ago.Explosions from continuous airstrikes lit up the sky over Gaza City for hours after nightfall Friday. The Palestinian telecom provider, Paltel, said the bombardment caused “complete disruption” of internet, cellular and landline services. The cutoff meant that casualties from strikes and details of ground incursions could not immediately be known. Some satellite phones continued to function. Already plunged into darkness ...

Acapulco residents are fending for themselves in absence of aid

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:05:52 GMT

ACAPULCO, Mexico (AP) — In a city without water, electricity or gasoline, where desperate people have been allowed, even encouraged, to take essential goods from damaged stores since Hurricane Otis smashed Acapulco, state police officer Raúl Gallardo stood guard over a mountain of excess.Gallardo explained the distinction authorities have been making — in some cases — between what people can take and what would end up in his pile.People can take “what you can consume — water, tuna, mayonnaise, that you can take,” he said. What isn’t allowed is big-ticket items — “appliances, for example,” he said, swiveling to point at the refrigerators behind him. “What’s not within the basket of basic foodstuffs, you can’t take.”Despite government promises that aid was on the way in a big way, people did not wait.Acapulco’s desperate residents cleaned out the city’s largest stores in three days. It was not isolated to any particular neighborhood or carried out under cover of darkness, but wi...
