Respondent 1's Evidence

Unit 2 was driving eastbound in the left lane of 167th St. between Orchard Ridge Ave. and Anthony Ave. in Hazel Crest, IL. Unit 2's approximate speed was 35 miles per hour. A large puddle of water had formed from a very recent rain. It covered the right lane and part of the left lane. The driver of Unit 2 noticed the puddle and proceeded to slow down to a speed of approximately 20 miles per hour. The driver of Unit 2 then noticed Unit 1 coming from behind in the right lane at a high rate of speed. Unit 1 tried to avoid the puddle without slowing down and impacted Unit 2. Unit 1 was pushed back into the right lane. Unit 2 was pushed off of the left side of the road onto the slightly raised median. The front and left side of Unit 1 was severly

Margaret told me she had her daughter take a photograph of the vehicles just after the collision. Margaret showed me the photograph and I observed Cheryl's Impreza in the left, right turn lane, and Krystyna's Odyssey in the right, right turn lane. Margaret sent the photo to my department cell phone, and I later copied it to the

The mother exited the house and was asked if she drove the vehicle. She related the car is hers but no one has driven the car for a few days. I advised the marks are identical to the other vehicle that was parked and struck. The female Jacqueline SOLIMINI stated the car wasn't moved and the damage has been on her vehicle for some time. I informed her that I have her mirror for her car in my possession. That the mirror was knocked off her car and remained on the scene. SOLIMINI denied the vehicle being driven and stated if it's just going to be some tickets to send them to me.

The driver of vehicle 1 stated that he was having neck and chest pain after the collision. I asked driver 1 several times if he want an ambulance, he refused each time I offered. Driver 1 stated that his granddaughter was on her way to transport him and his wife to the hospital. The front passenger stated that

On July 22nd I was driving North on Lambert Road in Glen Ellyn about to make a left onto Roosevelt Road. I was in a Enterprise Car Share vehicle that is a 2012 silver Toyota Yaris. As I approached Roosevelt Road there was another vehicle in which case it was a black Toyota. This Toyota sideswiped me as the driver said she was distracted and did not notice my car in the left turning lane as she was in the right lane trying to get over. After looking at her vehicle it appeared most of the damage came from her driver side mirror and right above the rear driver side tire on the black Toyota. Therefore it damaged the passenger side of the Enterprise Car Share vehicle.

Mr. Foster is student at Jacksonville State University. 2014 was his second year at Jacksonville, and he was taking a year off from studies to work and save money. Mr. Foster had gone home to Georgia for Christmas, but was returning to Jacksonville to pick up some Christmas gifts he had left at his apartment. He had stopped at Walmart in Jacksonville and was headed to his apartment in the late afternoon. He thinks he may have dosed off at the wheel he rounded a curve off of the town square, and “next thing I know” the traffic light was red and his vehicle struck the vehicle of the plaintiff. Mr. Foster concedes running a red light, but says it was raining and the asphalt was slick.

driver one stated she slowed down because the vehicle in the front of her was turning into a private driveway. She advised that is when the red pick up truck struck her in the rear.

(Statements from both Driver 1 and witness statements have Vehicle 1 travelling above the posted speed limit.)

Based on a review of the dashcam video of the stop, here is the key question from a criminal defense attorney’s perspective:

1. Did officer Smith have reasonable suspicion to make the initial stop of this vehicle?

As Mr. Diaz began to slow down on I-30, he noticed Mr. Martinez’s vehicle approaching rapidly towards him. Unfortunately, Mr. Martinez failed to control his speed, and his vehicle collided with Martin’s vehicle. The two-car collision occurred suddenly and without warning. Mr. Martinez’s speed was significant enough to cause a great impact on rear end of Mr. Diaz’s car.

Officer Smith had pulled a vehicle over after she noticed it had what appeared to be a broken tail light covered with colored tape. In accordance with the “good-faith” law, I believe that Officer Smith had no deliberate intent to defraud the party, only to acknowledge the driving of a vehicle with improper and unsafe equipment. Only when she walked upon the vehicle did it occur to her that it resembled a car, fitting a general description of a suspected car in a recent roadside killing of a fellow police officer. This

No two witnesses statements are alike. As an officer, taking witness statements is an essential part of every case. It is important to understand that people perceive events differently. As the officer, it is your job to ask questions that will make the witness remember as much details as possible. Doing this exercise, has opened our eyes to just how different two witness statements can be. While conducting this exercise, we have found that our witness statements have many similarities, but many differences as well. In the video we watched, we observed an intoxicated male drive a white GMC Yukon into a tree who was then arrested for driving a motor vehicle under the influence of alcohol. Throughout this paper, we will outline these

While you might not be able to get the contact information of the driver at fault, at least try to get their plate number. It would be almost impossible to prove a compensation case if you don’t have the driver’s contact information or the other car’s plate number.

Construct-related evidence, on the other hand, refers to the level in which a particular test or measure evaluates the concept or the construct it is theoretically supposed to measure. If a test is supposed to measure a person’s intelligence, for example, you wouldn’t subject the individual to personality testing unnecessarily. Instead, you’d want to make sure that the test being given to the test subject is accurately assessing the intelligence quotient (IQ). Construct-related evidence of validity often involves a process that identifies the real meaning or purpose of the test either through repetition or by compiling multiple sources of evidence. The collection of this evidence not only verifies that the tests actually measures what it is
