Searching brings up a document, and the phrase is not highlighted. I can’t afford to spend what it takes to get software that highlights searches.<\/p>\n
Remember the coding system?<\/p>\n
2. Acronyms: These should be obvious to those involved in the criminal justice system:
\n BOLO = be on the look out
\n CI = confidential informant
\n DL = driver’s license
\n GFE = good faith exception
\n IAC = ineffective assistance of counsel
\n LEO = law enforcement officer (a police term, not a lawyer term)
\n MSJ = motion for summary judgment
\n PC = probable cause
\n PO = probation or parole officer
\n QI = qualified immunity
\n REP = reasonable expectation of privacy
\n RS = reasonable suspicion
\n SI = search incident
\n SJ = summary judgment
\n SW = search warrant
\n UA = urinalysis<\/p><\/blockquote>\n1) Several of these acronyms will appear in words. As of yet, we haven’t been able to get the search function to discriminate between “SI” and “CI” and words where “si” or “ci” appear together. For now, search for “Thornton” or “Belton.” It gives a few, but obviously not all. We’re working on an effective way to improve the searches. It may just require starting to spell it all out.<\/p>\n
“RS” could appear at the end of a word, but searching for what is or is not reasonable suspicion is not all that helpful because of the sheer number of cases and variety of fact situations. Also, one court may say RS exists on certain facts yet another will not. Cataloging even a signifficant number of these cases is impossible.<\/p>\n
2) Case names will be easy, but, remember, you only get a block of cases to look through. There are already nearly 275 segments just for 2006. That translates into approximately 1,300 cases.<\/p>\n
3) I attempted to limit the number of cases per post to 5-7. So, a day with 15 cases will be broken into three sections which will facilitate searching.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
