Here is the headline from last week and though it causes heart ache but commack the faa is not delivered as promised. The first of the modernization that is why change is needed the consensus of the stakeholders was we need to restructure to a Government Corporation for a Nonprofit Organization that has Stable Funding and the ability to control and finance the march to modernization we have now reached the Tipping Point i am not the typical spokesperson to come to the table to suggest that is the case i would weigh in to have the agency do it there will not be Stable
The use of video in a drug prosecution where the video failed for a short period of time and a the defense was the critical and exculpatory for the defendant, when the video failed to create reasonable doubt because of the malfunction.
