However if <br /> there a ~ny police officers around to issue a citation, .nothing will have changed. Considering the <br /> vastness bf our island and the shortage: of officers there doesn't seem to be any light at the end: of the <br /> tunnel, <br /> I would like to add a Section to the revised coder <br /> A TAPE,RECORDING, WITH DATE AND TIME NOTED AS WEIl AS THE NAME OF THE PERSON THAT IS <br /> DOING THE RECORDING iS CEGAa_. THE PER§ON'THAT HAS DONE THE RECORDING WILL PRESENT THE <br /> TAPE TO THE COURT. <br /> Mitch Roth has stated that is already legal to use a properly identified tape. However lately judges have- <br /> refused to accept them. In the "olden" dayawhen Idid animal control we-used tapes. I feel with such <br /> A section. in Chapter q will encourage judges to accept-them. <br /> l'here is the argument thaYa tape can be aRered. Of course it can; and any ether witness to a~~crime can <br /> lie iri coup and that is perjury, <br /> Our residents and the police depart need all the help they can get. <br /> 22, tf <br /> Comm. iVo- •I <br /> Ref.
