tbh, it looks like the clock is just the pieces of a digital alarm clock ripped out of its casing and put inside a pencil casing, explaining both the 9v connector and the power plug.

not that i'm good with electronics, but that circuit board looks awfully purpose built compared to an arduino or other DIY electronics stuff

That's what I thought, it looks like he took the guts out of bedside alarm clock and tried to mount it in a pencil case. He's probably a kid who likes to tear things apart and never gets them back together, so his room's full of junk that makes the grown-ups think he's doing smart things.

Depends on the state, and the fact that it took place at school and with a school official's participation and permission complicates it further. It's definitely not a clear violation of his rights under the constitution, and may or may not have been under state law.

As was mentioned, in some states there is a notification law but usually not. I am guessing those laws generally do not get passed because "guilty little thuglets need to sweat" probably outweighs "what if it was my kid."

This thread can't get past death statistics for some reason, as if it's the only statistic that matters when determining if policing can be dangerous.

FBI posted:

-In 2013, the FBI collected assault data from 11,468 law enforcement agencies that employed 533,895 officers.
-Law enforcement agencies reported that 49,851 officers were assaulted while performing their duties in 2013.
-The rate of officer assaults in 2013 was 9.3 per 100 sworn officers.

And this only includes the ones reported to the FBI so these numbers are likely under reported.

You've neither contextualised 'assaults' nor described how that relates to a broader trend, though, so it's not really that useful a datapoint you've offered.

Also it seems foolish to assume they are under reporting assaults to the FBI.


Also plenty of people are arrested for "assaulting" a police officer when they've done nothing of the sort.

Why do you assume the first one was talking about if the job was dangerous? The article was pointing out how the "war on police" narrative isn't backed by statistics.




If we wanted to see if being a law enforcement officer was a dangerous job, we'd use occupational health and safety numbers, which show that being a law enforcement officer isn't close to one of the most dangerous jobs in America.

Teachers and convenience store clerks are both more likely to be killed on the job than cops last I checked for example. Both face much higher rates of assault if they reported it.


Edit According to the BJS it appears that bartenders have face a higher rate of workplace violence than law enforcement officers.

The fact the police refuses to let anyone actually see it isn't helping. All we have is a photo of a photo which is making some people think this thing is huge when it isn't.

Also some slightly new details:

quote:

The police chief in Irving, Tex., Larry Boyd, said in an interview on CNN that officers assigned to MacArthur High School had determined “fairly quickly” that the device was not a bomb. Then the issue, he said, was to determine why the teenager, Ahmed Mohamed, had brought the device to school.

“What they were investigating was whether he brought a device to school with the intention of creating alarm,” Chief Boyd said.

Ahmed, who has professed a love of tinkering, said he built a digital clock at home and then took it to school on Monday to show his engineering teacher, who expressed appreciation but advised him not to show it to other teachers.

But the device made a sound in an English class, prompting Ahmed to later show the source of the noise to that teacher. The teacher commented that it looked like a bomb. The officers assigned to the school were called, and Ahmed was handcuffed, questioned by the police and eventually released to his parents.

Chief Boyd said the officers were not initially told that Ahmed had brought the clock to school to show to a teacher. In the end, Chief Boyd said, the officers made the best possible decisions based on the information that they had.

http://www.nytimes.com/2015/09/19/us/irving-police-chief-defends-response-to-ahmed-mohameds-clock.html


quote:

School district officials said that they cannot comment on the specifics of the case involving Macarthur High School freshman Mohamed, due to privacy reasons. However, a spokeswoman for the district said that they support his English teacher’s action when she confiscated the 14-year-old’s homemade clock on Monday, believing that it could be a hoax bomb.
The incident led to the teen’s arrest and suspension from classes.
A teacher heard beeping in her classroom, and then this device was brought to her. So, what she saw was a case with exposed wires and a timer attached to it,” said Lesley Weaver, director of communications for the Irving ISD. “She did the right thing. She followed the correct procedures. She involved the school resource officer and school administrators.”
When asked if Mohamed was profiled for either his race or religion, Weaver maintained that the school teacher reacted to the unusual device — not the student — and truly believed that it could have been a safety concern.

http://dfw.cbslocal.com/2015/09/17/irving-isd-praises-teacher-who-took-away-clock/


So the kid made the mistake of trying to explain why he had made a disruptive noise in class. Should have known better and not told the teacher anything at all :rolleyes:


Also since no one had told the cops that he had told everyone who asked it was a clock because that's the level of seriously they took this investigation.

But the police recognized the kid immediately from some sort of physical feature he had....

How is this relevant and what is wrong with a kid messing around with electronics? I guess in your mind he should have never tried experimenting with taking poo poo apart because he just isn't good enough? Perhaps he should only be proud when he is at the level of university engineering students?

So can this "could have thought it was a bomb" finally die since nobody ever thought it was a bomb? At worst they thought it could be a "hoax bomb", I doubt an English teacher would 'confiscate' it if she actually thought it was a bomb. I don't think anyone is stupid enough to take possession of something they think is an explosive, they evacuate the school not put in their desk drawer.

Wonder what excuse will be used to not release his interrogation recording/transcript/video. I'm sure the police would never ever interrogate a minor off record.

"What is it?"
"A clock"
"What's it for?"
"Telling time"

That's the first 30 seconds. What was the other 3(4? 5?) hours?
