What is a violent felony in some states may not even be a crime in others. It makes establishing and evaluating police departments very difficult.

Use of force varies by jurisdiction.

It can even vary on the national federal level too. As an example, in the 4th Circuit tasers can only be used in a very strict set of circumstances. But if your visiting Bristol, VA and cross State Street in to Bristol, TN and the 6th Circuit, tasers are pretty much a-ok for any arrest resistance. In this case officers who essentially patrol the same city, albeit in two separate states and independent municipalities, would have very different use of force training requirements.

I could own a regular AR-15 with a 30-round mag in Washington(for now), but in California it could be charged as a misdemeanor or felony.

Or in Arizona, any amount of weed can result in a felony.

I'm not a cop or a lawyer but off the top of my head I think of Stand Your Ground laws where if you shoot someone and piss your pants in one state you could be told to go home and have a nice night while in the other you'll probably be arrested if not charged later.

A whole lot of problems with this example but it's the first thing I think of.

NYS PL 240.26, harrassment in the second degree is considered a violation, not a crime and includes

quote:

S 240.26 Harassment in the second degree. A person is guilty of harassment in the second degree when, with intent to harass, annoy or alarm another person: 1. He or she strikes, shoves, kicks or otherwise subjects such other person to physical contact, or attempts or threatens to do the same; or 2. He or she follows a person in or about a public place or places; or 3. He or she engages in a course of conduct or repeatedly commits acts which alarm or seriously annoy such other person and which serve no legitimate purpose.

Florida law states:


quote:

784.03 Battery; felony battery.—

(1)(a) The offense of battery occurs when a person:

1. Actually and intentionally touches or strikes another person against the will of the other; or

2. Intentionally causes bodily harm to another person.

(b) Except as provided in subsection (2), a person who commits battery commits a misdemeanor of the first degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082 or s. 775.083.

(2) A person who has one prior conviction for battery, aggravated battery, or felony battery and who commits any second or subsequent battery commits a felony of the third degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082, s. 775.083, or s.775.084. For purposes of this subsection, “conviction” means a determination of guilt that is the result of a plea or a trial, regardless of whether adjudication is withheld or a plea of nolo contendere is entered.



So, in New York if I slap you in the face but don't cause injury, that's merely Harassment, which is a violation and is not even an arrestable offense unless committed in the presence of a officer. (under NYS penal law, violations rank under misdemeanors and felonies and you can't arrest someone for a violation not occuring in your presence).

Florida statues state mere physical contact against your will is battery, a misdemeanor, and a previous battery conviction makes it a felony.

Florida: possible felony
New York: you probably can't even get arrested for it.

Before you go slapping the poo poo outta people in New York do note that if the victim complains of "substantial pain" or you leave a mark, that's assault 3 and we've entered misdemeanor territory.

Just taking Smiling Jack's and my states as an example,
NY Penal Law § 265.11, Criminal Sale of Firearm, 3d degree, classified as a Violent Felony Offense.
Not a crime in Oklahoma.

Title 21, section 843.1, Oklahoma Statues - financial neglect by caretaker, classified as a violent crime
Not a crime in NY.

There are tons of laws where one state's violent is another state's misdemeanor.

Cool. I hear that thrown around now and then and it sound good on paper (with respect at least to a uniform training standard) but I had no idea how it would actually work and how police actually felt about it.

The way to make it work is the same way you push federal policy on states already: withhold federal grant money unless the agency/profession/whatever complies with a set of guidelines.

Another great reason to do away with State sovereignty. Don't forget that doing so will also make the presidential pardon applicable to every crime and every prosecution.

List of GOP SCOTUS nominees confirmed by Democratic senate since 1895:
Thomas, Souter, Kennedy, Stevens, Rehnquist, Powell, Blackmun, Carswell, Haynsworth, Burger, Stewart, Whittaker, Brennan

Of course, some of those GOP Presidential picks really didn't work out the way the nominating presidents expected.

There are other passages in Woodward’s book, a copy of which was obtained by The Atlantic ahead of its release next week, that bolster this representation of Mattis. Woodward writes, for example, that the president “scared the daylights” out of Mattis and Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Joseph Dunford in January—around the time Trump was engaged in a nuclear button–measuring contest with Kim Jong Un—by proposing that he declare on Twitter that he would be evacuating all family members of U.S. troops from South Korea, which North Korean leaders would likely have interpreted as a clear sign that war was imminent. The tweet was never sent.
