S7 Ep 327Lawyer Talk Q&A - Are Cops Allowed to Turn Off Their Body Cams?
ESteve is back in action with the hot topic of police body cams and their usage. This week's question comes from John, who asks whether police officers are allowed to knowingly turn off their body cams, and if regulations vary by county. Steve explores the complexities of this issue, referencing a high-profile case in Columbus, Ohio, where a police officer's actions led to the creation of "Andre's Law," mandating the use of body cams and the rendering of first aid after use-of-force incidents. He shares insights from his own experiences, discussing instances where officers have turned off their body cams mid-operation and the legal implications of such actions. Steve emphasizes the importance of body cams for transparency and accountability while acknowledging the human element involved. Whether you're curious about the legal landscape of body cam usage or simply want to understand your rights better, this episode is packed with crucial information.

S7 Ep 324Lawyer Talk Q&A - How to Handle Neighbor Disputes
EWhat are the big differences between an anti-stalking protection order and other types of protection orders in Ohio?If you have your own question and don't feel like calling a law firm, check out lawyertalkpodcast.com. There's an easy interface to submit your question, just like Jill did today, and I'll give you some commentary on it.One of the key takeaways from this episode is the distinction between different types of civil protection orders. Steve explains that while some orders are designed to address imminent threats of physical harm, others, like anti-stalking orders, focus on patterns of behavior that cause significant emotional distress. He emphasizes that not all negative interactions with neighbors will qualify for such orders. For instance, mere name-calling or rude gestures, without threats of physical harm, typically do not meet the legal standards required for an anti-stalking order.Submit your questions to www.lawyertalkpodcast.com.Recorded at Channel 511.Stephen E.

S7 Ep 323Lawyer Talk Q&A - Can The U.S. Prosecute Crimes on Behalf of Other Countries?
EIn this episode, Steve tackles the question "Can the U.S. government prosecute crimes on behalf of other countries, and vice versa?" The answer is a resounding "Yes, no, maybe," depending on various factors. He explores the nuances of how U.S. laws apply to its citizens abroad and how foreign laws can impact U.S. citizens.One of the key highlights is the discussion around the International Criminal Court (ICC). While the ICC aims to bring justice to those who commit heinous crimes like war crimes and crimes against humanity, it doesn't always offer the same protections as the U.S. legal system. This raises important questions about jurisdiction, extradition, and the complexities of international law.How about some real-world examples? Remember the case of a U.S. basketball player prosecuted in Russia for drug offenses? This serves as a stark reminder that being a U.S. citizen doesn't grant you immunity from foreign laws. On the flip side, we discuss scenarios where the U.S. can prosecute its citizens for crimes committed abroad, especially in cases involving financial crimes or acts of terrorism.Sponsors:https://palmerlegaldefense.comMemorable Moments(07:00) First question: Can the U.S. prosecute crimes on behalf of foreign countries?(09:15) Extraterritorial jurisdiction explained(14:30) Exceptions: When Congress permits prosecution(18:00) Implied jurisdiction for severe crimes(20:45) International Criminal CourtGot a question you want answered on the podcast?

S6 Ep 3183 Things You Need To Know: About Grand Juries
EThe grand jury system is an important aspect of the American criminal justice system. As Steve Palmer, host of the Lawyer Talk podcast, points out in this episode, the grand jury is a group of jurors assembled by the county prosecutor to vote on whether there is enough evidence to indict someone on a felony. However, the grand jury system is not without controversy and questions about its fairness and transparency have been raised.One of the biggest issues with the grand jury system is the prosecutor's control over the proceedings. As Steve notes, the prosecutor has control over the proceedings and can present the case in a way that incorporates obvious defenses to prevent an indictment. This means that defendants do not have the same rights they would have in a trial by jury within a courtroom. For example, defendants do not have the right to appear in front of a grand jury and testify in their own case. While some prosecutors may invite defendants to testify, it is not a guaranteed right.However, witnesses can be subpoenaed to testify in front of a grand jury and have the right to an attorney. The attorney cannot be present in the grand jury room but can advise the witness outside the room and the witness can assert their Fifth Amendment right to remain silent if their responses may incriminate them. This is an important protection for witnesses who may be intimidated or coerced into providing false or misleading testimony.Another issue with the grand jury system is its secrecy. As Steve points out, grand jury proceedings are done in secret and are not a trial by jury within a courtroom. While this secrecy is meant to protect the integrity of the investigation, it also means that defendants and their attorneys do not have access to the evidence presented to the grand jury. This lack of transparency can make it difficult for defendants to mount an effective defense and can contribute to a perception of unfairness.Despite these concerns, grand juries have enormous power, particularly on the federal level, and can issue subpoenas for information and testimony. This power has been used in high-profile cases, such as the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election. However, the grand jury system remains controversial and questions about its fairness and transparency are likely to continue.The grand jury system is an important aspect of the American criminal justice system, but it is not without controversy. As Steve notes, the prosecutor's control over the proceedings, lack of transparency, and limited rights for defendants are all issues that have been raised about the grand jury system. While grand juries have enormous power, there is a need for continued scrutiny and debate about how they are used and whether they are fair and transparent.Submit your questions to www.lawyertalkpodcast.com.Recorded at Channel 511.Stephen E.

S6 Ep 3173 Things You Need To Know: About The Appeals Process
EIn the world of law, an appeal is not a retrial. This is a common misconception that many people have when they are facing legal issues. In reality, an appeal is a process that can only argue legal mistakes made during the trial, not the facts of the case. Appellate lawyers have limitations in their access to evidence and are only able to look at the trial record.Steve Palmer shares these insights on this episode of the Lawyer Talk podcast. He emphasizes the importance of understanding the limitations of the appellate process, as well as the options available for addressing issues that were not included in the trial record.One option for addressing issues outside of the trial record is through post-conviction proceedings. However, these proceedings have different deadlines and requirements than direct appeals, making it crucial for those involved to have a clear understanding of the legal process and their options.Winning an appeal does not necessarily mean that the case is won and the individual can go home. Often, it simply means a new trial with different rules in place. It is important to be vigilant about post-conviction remedies and to ask questions to ensure that the attorney understands the deadlines and requirements.Understanding the limitations of the appellate process and being aware of post-conviction remedies are crucial for those involved in legal matters.

S6 Ep 3163 Things You Need To Know: About Finding A Lawyer
EWhen it comes to legal representation, finding the right lawyer can make all the difference. This is especially true when dealing with cases in unfamiliar locations. Legal professionals must have a thorough understanding of local practices and procedures, which is not always the case for out-of-state lawyers.Steve talks about the importance of finding a lawyer who is comfortable and experienced in unfamiliar locations, the advantages of having a lawyer who is both likable and respectful, and how to go about co-counseling with local attorneys. Finding the right lawyer for a case in an unfamiliar location requires thorough research and consideration. Lawyers must possess not only great litigation skills but also a likable personality and an understanding of local practices. It is important for lawyers to be honest with their clients about their level of experience and to cocounsel with local attorneys when necessary. By following these guidelines, clients can receive the best possible representation for their case.Submit your questions to www.lawyertalkpodcast.com.Recorded at Channel 511.Stephen E.

Ep 304Columbus Council Approves New Gun-Control Laws - Legal or Not?
E"December 7, 1941—a date which will live in infamy—the United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked by the naval and air forces of the Empire of Japan."Pearl Harbor day today. We remember and honor our veterans from WWII. And all veterans.'Holi-Drag Storytime' for children canceled. Organizers in Columbus (Ohio) were concerned about safety as Proud Boys members and other demonstrators, some armed, gathered near the venue, a church. The more you suppress this, the more it becomes "attractive" to the wrong element.Columbus council approves new gun-control law amid questions over its legality. Amazingly, two of the three legs of this legislation bring "duh" moments. But the kicker, this bans “large capacity magazines” that can hold 30 or more rounds or can be converted to accept that many rounds. This misdemeanor would result in a mandatory 180 consecutive days in jail without work release, and potentially up to one year, and a $1,500 fine. "We have to do something" as one council person puts it.When covid-19 broke out, Dr. Aaron Kheriaty’s work put him on the front lines. Realizing that the mental, physical, and economic toll of lockdowns was catastrophic, he began to protest that the cure was worse than the disease—an intolerable heresy. When he refused vaccination because he had natural immunity from a previous infection, the University of California, Irvine, medical school fired him. He fought back, in the courts and in the media, and has become a reliable source of truth amid official obfuscation and censorship. Norm talks about his book, The New Abnormal: The Rise of the Biomedical Security State.Your word for the week - gaslighting - a psychological tactic is a form of manipulation that makes someone question their own reality and is surprisingly common — and harmful. Used intentionally, it’s a means of slowly eroding the trust someone has in their own feelings or point of view.A record verdict was announced Monday for a Fairborn man wrongfully accused of raping several women in the 1990s, awarding 57-year-old Roger ‘Dean’ Gillispie $45 million, the highest settlement in state history.And a wistful Christmas moment from Vince Guaraldi Trio and A Charlie Brown Christmas.Submit your questions to www.lawyertalkpodcast.com.Recorded at Channel 511.Stephen E.

Ep 292Lawyer Talk Q&A - What's A Stipulated First Offense Drunk Driving
EOVI is probably the most complex area of law.And here's what I mean by that. • If you get an OVI, it immediately implicates Fourth Amendment issues. In other words, there was a stop, a seizure, and an arrest most often. • • And all those things must be justified under the Fourth Amendment. And there's an entire body of law in the Fourth Amendment that's developed around drinking and driving traffic stops and arrests. And then here in Ohio, we have field sobriety testing. So field sobriety tests involve administrative regulations. They also involve what I call pseudoscience.Here is a link to the DUI 360 series I mentioned in the podcast.

Ep 290Lawyer Talk Q&A - Swimming Pool Liability
EOne of my international listeners emails this question. Who is legally responsible if someone drowns or is injured in your swimming pool?Does it differ between homeowner and hotel? in Spain? He asks because of a recent court judgment that has held up the Spanish ruling that anyone using the pool is responsible for their own safety, even if a lifeguard is working. Lawyers on behalf of British and German tourists keep trying to put the blame on the pool owner for any drownings or injuries. But so far, the Spanish courts have not taken this opinion unless the pool has no maintenanceMy guest on this episode is David Goldstein, whose law firm concentrates its legal practice in insurance law, collections, personal injury, landlord and tenant issues, and civil litigation.

Ep 289Lawyer Talk Q&A - Geofence Warrants
EGeofence warrants are the new tool that local law enforcement uses to soak up data for further criminal investigations. Geofence warrants allow police agencies to gather data on every person in a specified area for a certain period of time. Traditional warrants, by contrast, are narrowly tailored to gather information on a specified person.And in that geofence area, they can suck up data from any member of the public and track such things as who's going to a known drug house. This could cause such mislabeling problems as what if you're going to a friend's house that happens to live next to a drug house. The question is that this is going to possibly be one of the upcoming constitutional arguments coming down the pipeline. My listener wants my opinion on cops using geofencing and do I believe it's constitutional.Got a question you want answered on the podcast? Call 614-859-2119 and leave us a voicemail.
