A fundamental principle of behavior symptom analysis is that truthful suspects send the same message on all three channels of communication.* Deceptive suspects may send different messages within the channels of communication.* One category of this possible symptom of deception is called incongruous behavior because the suspects nonverbal behavior contradicts what the suspect is saying on the verbal level.* Consider the fisherman who is verbally describing reeling in a fish that is two or three feet long but when he portrays the length of the fish with his hands, the distance between his fingertips is about twelve inches.* This inconsistency suggests that perhaps the fish was smaller than described.

It is possible that the fisherman simply was not good at estimating distances with his hands.* However, it is much more likely that his hands were telling the truth and his mouth was not.* A suspect has more conscious control over the verbal channel of communication than nonverbal communication. Consequently, when incongruous behaviors are observed, the channel causing the dissonance is probably the verbal one. i.e., the suspects nonverbal behavior is more likely accurate.

Introduction

Human trafficking is a global problem. Approximately 600,000 to 800,000 victims are trafficked annually across international borders. Of the 14,500 to 17,500 victims that come into the U.S. from human trafficking brokers in Africa, Asia, India, Latin America, and Eastern Europe, approximately 50% are under the age of 18 and 80% are female (USDOJ, 2003). According to the Salvation Army, it is estimated that up to 150,000 foreign victims of slavery are in the United States from 49 countries in Africa, the Arab world, Southeast Asia, and nations formerly part of the Soviet Union, and that about 325,000 children are commercially sexually exploited in this country annually. (Frederick, 2007). Human trafficking is estimated to generate an annual profit of $3.5 billion dollars and it is considered to be the second largest criminal industry worldwide after drug dealing. (USDHHS, 2008). In fact, there are estimates that one human trafficked woman for sex can possibly earn her traffickers approximately $250,000 in her lifetime. (Sweeney, 2005). As law enforcement officers, social workers, criminal court officers, social services, and medical professionals, it is our duty to protect and care for the people in our community.

At belly to belly distance, you don't need much illumination...but you may well need something else a gun mounted flashlight provides. The rise of the flashlight equipped police service pistol began many years ago, with special reaction teams, notably LAPD SWAT. It proved that it could be a lifesaver in searching darkened buildings for dangerous suspects. K9 was the next arm of law enforcement to pick up on the value of combined white light and handgun. With one hand often being required to hold a big dog's leash, the canine handler was down to a single hand to manipulate both gun and flashlight, often outdoors on moonless nights or in the same dark buildings where SWAT had first proven the value of the concept. Finally, wise administrators realized that patrol division street cops found themselves searching pitch-black buildings and dark alleys and performing midnight manhunts in the woods too, and authorized or even issued light mounted service pistols with attached lights to the rank and file. Synthetic holsters proved themselves adaptable to the bulkier outline of pistols with lights, and the tactical illumination tool industry sped the process by introducing ever more compact white light units compatible with handgun mounting.

The 4th Amendment and Motel Rooms

 

October 2011

by Brian S. Batterton, Attorney

�2011 Brian S. Batterton, Attorney, PATC Legal & Liability Risk Management Institute (www.llrmi.com)

On September 1, 2011, the Court of Appeals of Georgia decided the State v. Woods[i], which serves as an excellent review of criminal procedure issues related to the motel rooms, consent, detentions and the Fourth Amendment. The facts of Wood, taken directly from the case are as follows:

Six police officers, including Officer Tommy Grier, the state's only witness at the suppression hearing, went to a motel to execute a warrant for the arrest of Lee on aggravated assault charges. The officers went to the room listed on the warrant, but it was unoccupied. Officer Grier testified that the manager said that Lee was staying in Room 214. Neither Lee nor Woods, however, were on the registry for the room. In fact, the room was registered to Lee's sister. At the hearing, the manager testified that he did not know whether Lee, a long-term resident of the motel, was staying in Room 214, but he suspected it.
