At the 2006 Winter Olympics, a series of accidents in the snowboard cross final has given Lindsey Jacobellis the gold metal on a plate. Only one other competitor is left, more than five seconds back, so Jacobellis does a little celebration on one of the last jumps: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2i3zrzyLOCw

Zamboni_Rodeo posted:Firefighters are first-responders. Assuming her claim is true, I imagine said firefighters might have tried to jump in and help the woman in distress, rather than complain about the "junkie OD'ing on the floor." My Truth-O-Meter says "no." Not to defend in any way, but if they were as drunk as she presumably was, then they did the right thing (legally in their own interest) by not jumping in.

Chromatic posted:There's some schadenfreude here in the sense of "haha, you got caught. nannana". It's extremely interesting though. Oh yeah after you see the confession it's worth going back to the beginning to see how he's all smiles at first because the detective didn't even tell him ahead of time that he was being interrogated as a suspect, he just called him up and asked him to stop by the police station to give them some helpful info, just a friendly witness, you know That said, the detective (Jim Smyth, who has been called the World’s Greatest Police Interrogator) is using a pretty controversial interrogation technique in which the cop can say pretty much anything, lie about evidence, etc., and this caused problems in a different case where Smyth employed the same technique, leading to a not-guilty verdict in that case

Keeping a suspect ignorant of their rights and misleading them into a confession is still wrong, and still perverts and weakens the justice system. It doesn't matter whether the suspect is actually guilty or not, the ends do not justify the means. Don't talk to the police except to request a lawyer.

http://www.latimes.com/local/westside/la-me-bootlegged-venice-20160102-story.html LA residents complain to the city that some of their neighbors are renting out their places via AirBNB. City shows and says "Yeah, you're right. But while we're here, we noticed that only 4 out of the 8 units in this building were permitted in the first place, so we're evicting you."

Unless the residents who complained knew that they were in illegal housing (which I doubt since the interviewed woman had been there for about 25 years), they're having their legitimate complaints responded to by losing their homes. That's not really "ha ha" material.

Legitimate complaint? They weren't complaining about noise or stench or disrepair or a meth lab or anything like that - they were concerned that the apartments were being rented to "strangers" and "tourists" instead of long-term renters. Why's it any of their business? All they were complaining about were violations of arbitrary city ordinances, and when they ratted on their neighbors they found out they themselves were living in violation of arbitrary city ordinances (again, there's no safety issue alleged about their units). It's like calling the cops to complain about your neighbor smoking weed and then when the cop walks in to your house to take a statement he sees your bong sitting there on the counter. I think people who should have minded their own business getting bitten by the same petty authority they went running to is schadenfruedy.

A better analogy would be complaining that someone is smoking pot in your building and the police searching your apartment and finding that a previous owner tucked a huge weed stash in your walls, and the cops just decide to say it's yours and charge you.

It doesn't matter whether the suspect is actually guilty or not, the ends do not justify the means. The detective told him his rights at the beginning I thought. At the very least, he told him that he can walk away at any time and can contact a lawyer. The reason this went so well I presume is that the evidence presented to the suspect was real and he knew it. He knew he was done and the long pauses was just him coming to terms with that. All things considered, it was a pretty slam dunk investigation.
