Often people will say to me, "can the police just stop me when I am walking down the street" it is a funny question. How many times in someones life will the police ask them to stop while walking down the street. Well in some places a lot, and in other places never. However in this instance below lets assume this has to do with a Nashville public intoxication stop scenario.
In this instance lets say you are walking down West End around Vanderbilt. You are not disturbing anyone, you have been drinking, you are at least 21, it is late say around 1 a.m. A Vanderbilt police officer pulls up and ask you what you are doing? Can they do that, as with all of the 4th Amendment Nashville public intoxication questions, there are grey areas to this situation.http://nashvilleduiinfo.com
You have now found yourself in a Constitutional question, An officer may approach you at anytime, even if there is no suspicion of wrong doing. So if in the instant case above you are walking down West End in Nashville, Tennessee after drinking some alcoholic beverages the police can approach you and ask you questions, HOWEVER you have the freedom to not answer the questions, if there is no evidence of wrong doing by you, you are free to go. Your refusal to answer questions is not a reasonable ground to detain you, there has to be something more, there has to be reasonable, objective grounds for further detaining you. Nashville public intoxication requires certain elements be met before you can be charged with this crime, there are more elements than just being intoxicated and being in public.
Under the scenario you have the right to refuse to answer questions, a police officer is free to ask you questions anytime, he does not have to think you have committed a crime when he approaches you, he is free to approach you like a civilian would, but the 4th Amendment protection becomes applicable when a person does not feel free to leave. The Courts look at it from an objective standpoint, would a reasonable person feel free to leave. If a reasonable person would not feel free to leave, then it is a Seizure under the 4th Amendment, and all evidence gained could be suppressed for a 4th Amendment violation by the government.
As with all legal discussions of the 4th Amendment there is an exception to the above noted scenario, if the police believe that they have an inarticulable suspicion that crime is afoot and they suspect you are involved somehow they may perform what is known as a Terry Stop. This is a situation where they suspect you for something, say suspicious activity around a store that was broken into the night before. They can stop you, ask questions and pat you down for weapons, however this brief detention even with cause can turn into an arrest if they detain you to long, and later it is determined there was no reason to continue to detain you after their original suspicions were proven unfounded. Terry Stop cases are voluminous, this is just a small snippet of a Terry Stop.

Restricted Driver's License in Tennessee
To contact us Click HERE
What is a restricted driver's license in Tennessee? Often you hear that you will lose your license in Tennessee if you are convicted of a first offense DUI, is that true? Yes, in Tennessee upon your conviction for a first offense DUI you will have to forfeit your license to the Tennessee Department of Safety, and if you are eligible then you may apply for a restricted driver's license. http://nashvilleduiinfo.com
If you meet certain criteria in Tennessee you may apply for a restricted drivers license. Some of the criteria are; you may not in the last ten years have had a prior DUI; you must obtain SR-22 insurance; no prior conviction for vehicular homicide; aggravated vehicular homicide; or vehicular assault by intoxication. If you meet these criteria you may apply for a restricted driver's license from the judge that heard your case or plea.
So you might ask, on a restricted driver's license in Tennessee where can I drive? Under 55-10-403(s) there are many places you may drive, some places include safety programs ordered by the court, college classes, litter pick up, religious services, and work. However one should note that being a part time student or those searching for work, does not meet the criteria.
Where do you have to go to get your restricted driver's license? In Tennessee once the judge signs you order you must take two certified copies of the Order along with your SR-22 insurance to the DMV station. It is there you will take the eye exam and driving test to obtain your restricted license.
Will the judge sign the Order for my restricted driver's license in Tennessee if I owe court costs and fines? It depends on the county you are in, some counties in Tennessee will make you pay a fraction down on the costs and set you up on a payment plan, other counties will make you pay the entire amount before they issue you the Order to take to the Tennessee DMV station. It is entirely up to the jurisdiction you are in.

Nashville Craigslist prostitution
To contact us Click HERE
Prostitution in Nashville, Tennessee is the crime of engaging in, or offering to engage in sexual activity as a business or being an inmate in a house of prostitution or loitering in a public place for the purpose of being hired to engage in sexual activity.http://nashvilleduiinfo.com
It is to say the least not an enjoyable moment when a client realizes that they have been caught
in a Nashville Craigslist sting for prostitution, (lately there have been many stings using the popular Craigslist). It is embarrassing, it can cost you a job, your automobile, and many other social repercussions. Some people have said to me from time to time that they thought, only the person selling sex can get in trouble, well that is incorrect in Tennessee. Nashville prostitution charges can carry a great many problems for clients, and the government does not care whether you arranged your prostitute by Craigslist or picked her up on the street, it is still the crime of patronizing prostitution.
The charge in Tennessee is called patronizing prostitution, it is a class B misdemeanor and can carry with it penalties, fines and jail time. Many people in Nashville who are charged with this crime do not realize that if you are within 100 hundred feet of a church and patronizing prostitution it becomes a class A misdemeanor and can carry with it 11 months and 29 days in jail. I might add that there is another boundary issue to consider in this charge. If you are within 1 and half miles of a school, it then becomes a class A misdemeanor and a mandatory 7 days in jail and a 1 thousand dollar fine.
There have been some arrests in Nashville for promoting prostitution, that is a class E felony and can carry a sentence in jail of 1 to 2 years. In Nashville there have been some local arrests due to promotion of prostitution through media prints via newspapers.
However, the vast majority of new prostitution stings have come via Craigslist and the internet in Nashville.

Providing alcohol to a minor in Tennessee and social host liability
To contact us Click HERE
So your 20 year old friend wants you to buy some beer for the weekend party, no big deal right, your 21, whats really wrong? In Tennessee you can find yourself in quite the mess if your 20 year old friend explains to the police that you bought the beer. http://nashvilleduiinfo.com
Did you know in Tennessee by violating section 39-15-404 (which is the code section for purchasing alcohol for a minor), you can lose your license to drive for a year. Not only can you lose your license, you may also have to perform around 100 hours of community service, and it is a class A misdemeanor that will carry with it 11 months and 29 days probation.
Further one should know that if you furnish alcohol to someone under age 21, that underage person need only test .02% blood alcohol level in Tennessee to be considered impaired while driving. Now in Tennessee a minor under the age of 21 is eligible to serve the mandatory minimum jail sentence in Tennessee of 48 hours.
A collateral issue involving purchasing alcohol for minors is the liability civilly for the minors actions. An example might be you have a party for your daughter's friends in Nashville, you don't serve alcohol, you don't provide alcohol, but you make provisions such as everyone has to put their keys in a jar and stay the night, you patrol your yard to make sure no one leaves, and someone does leave intoxicated. You might be held liable in Tennessee based on common law theories of liability. It is the undertaking of a duty that may hold you liable, not the providing of the alcohol, if it was not sold to the minors.
Tennessee does have a statute that shields liability for this and similar actions of providing alcohol. The Tennessee Supreme Court has held that the alcohol is the proximate cause of the injury to a third party, not the person who provided the alcohol, unless the alcohol was sold to the minor and not given to the minor. However, once you take an affirmative duty to provide a safe party for the minors, you may find yourself sued should one of the minors leave intoxicated and cause harm to a third party.

Date Rape, Alcohol as the Drug
To contact us Click HERE
I am often asked by young men, especially high school age young men, what is the definition of rape in Tennessee. We all understand the horrific nature of the crime, however what some people do not realize is that many rapes in Tennessee are not by strangers. Many allegations of rape hinge on quite literally he said she said, and the parties know each other.
So in Tennessee what is rape? It is the unlawful sexual penetration of a victim by the defendant or of the defendant by a victim accompanied by any of the following circumstances:
Force or coercion is used to accomplish the act;
The sexual penetration is accomplished without the consent of the victim and the defendant knows or has reason to know at the time of the penetration that the victim did not consent;
The defendant knows or has reason to know that the victim is mentally defective, mentally incapacitated, or physically helpless;
Sexual penetration is accomplished by fraud.
That is the legal definition. The question posed to me quite often is what if someone is drunk? The answer lies in the details of was the person mentally incapacitated at the time of the penetration, (penetration does not have to be with a body organ, it can be with an object).
Lets say a young couple of high school age has been drinking together, they start drinking around 8 pm, each of the individuals has about 5 beers over the course of the night. They are parked at the end of a road. The couple has never engaged in a sexual act before this night, the young man thinks it is ok to kiss on the young woman, but then thinks it is ok to proceed further by engaging in a sexual act with the young lady, while she is intoxicated. If later the next day the young lady states that she did not consent to the sexual act there can be a charge of rape filed in Tennessee. It is a matter of perspective as to whether or not she consented to the sexual act. It is here we find the he said she said problem. This situation is often referred to as Date Rape by the media.
My advice to young people is to simply avoid this situation, if you do not know whether or not she is consenting then avoid the situation all together.

Trump Gives Former Miss PA Sheena Monnin a Second Chance
To contact us Click HERE
Donald Trump: All is forgiven if Miss Pennsylvania apologizes for rigging accusation within 24 hours.
The question remains, will Shenna give herself a chance?
I don't think Sheena Monnin will apologize unless she takes to heart John 3:13 which she exhibits on her Facebook profile as her religious belief... which says among other things....
....God did not send his one and only son into the world to condemn the world....
Its not her accusation that the Miss USA pageant rigged the contest that's is troubling Miss Monnin, nor is it a fear of the Trump legal team. Miss Monnin needs to answer to God for her judgemental bigotry. Miss Morrin needs the gift of peace and that would take a gift of love from the lord. That's a really big deal and may not fit within the 24 hours allotted by the the Trumpster.
Source CNN Blog: According to the e-mail released by the Miss Universe organization, Monnin sent her resignation after 4 p.m. ET Monday before writing on her Facbeook page, saying the organization had strayed by allowing transgender participants in the pageant.
"I am officially and irrevocably resigning the title of Miss Pennsylvania USA 2012," the e-mail released by Miss Universe said. "I refuse to be part of a pageant system that has so far and so completely removed itself from its foundational principles as to allow and support natural born males to compete in it. This goes against ever moral fiber of my being. I believe in integrity, high moral character, and fair play, none of which are part of this system any longer.
"I hereby return the title of Miss Pennsylvania USA 2012."
I hope Sheena Monnin allows herself a chance and comes clean about the real reason for her abdicating her title. Its a make or break decision for her that would allow her the opportunity to get to know love.

Transgender Lynch Mobs? Unfair Advantages? Our Activism Gets Pushback
To contact us Click HERE
We have made some notable progress so far this year with the exception of Cece McDonald's imprisonment, and the overwhelming percentage of murdered sisters who are trans woman of color. Our Agenda is non exclusionary and simple. All we ask for is full equality and integration into politics, religions and society. We seek nothing more, nothing less as we live our lives loud and proud.
Equality wins. Hate loses. Lately there have been people who's agendas are diametrically opposed to ours and consequently have been at the losing end of the struggle. They all have ia few things in common. They are playing the victim card and making outrageous allegations and associations.
Some Miss Universe Canada supporters said transgender contestant had a 'unfair advantage'. Personally, I thought her unfair advantage was the sun which never set on her, but then that's just my opinion.
And recently Miss Pennsylvania who quit her title saying the contest was rigged but in fact it was her abhorrence of transgender people that made her abdicate her title.
Then there's the outcast "RadFems" who claim they are advocating for all of womankind. Make that 'woman born woman" excluding all who they consider not "Naturally Born Woman".. Sound familiar? It should because that is the cornerstone of transphobes world wide. The phraseology differs as does the venues it is delivered but it is all transphobia just the same.
No it's not a lynch mob that's facing up to transphobia, its a few lone voices, bloggers and activists in the wilderness who are being heard, respected and amplified by the rest of the world.
What may seem to be a transgender lynch mob to RadFems is in reality, just everyone else in the world. I would strongly suggest RadFems consider the analogies they present before they make them public.
So we march on.....

Why is Jillian Page Afraid To Say "Nigger" and Not "Tranny"
To contact us Click HERE
Why is Jillian Page Afraid to Say Nigger? Because its Stuff Black People Hate and she knows its been judged inappropriate by the majority of the black population especially if it's usage is used in a apology to non blacks for saying it!
Its simple and Page knows it. That word is defamation and was naturally eliminated from everyday conversation as black people's struggle for rights progressed. They enabled themselves by setting that social construct.
Then why is Page unafraid to say tranny? Because conversely she believes that this like defamation is just fine for everyone to use, even cisgender people! She qualified that argument by saying she googled tranny and found that the majority of links were about transgender people.
What the fuck Page? You forgot to mention the first link was the Wikipedia definition of Tranny
Now I'll be objective...
A while back I did a survey albeit a brief one, called Who we Are. I did so because as advocate who was ardently opposed to the horrific movie "Ticked Off Trannys With Knives" I needed to know I was speaking for the majority of our community.
The survey clearly indicates the vast majority of our people object, as black people do, to defamatory words like "Tranny" being used outside of the respective community.
And Page, you didn't mention nearly everyone of the rest of the "Transgender" links were for pornography sites that prey on the most vulnerable of our society. Some not all, of these transgender people are allowing themselves to be used so to feed addictions. Paige also failed to mention that drugs play a major role in the majority of murders of our people. Black transgender woman of color murders.
Damn.
Page, one more thing. You remember the celebrities who used to to say "Nigger" in comedy acts? Most of them are dead now and like our slain trans sisters drugs nearly always played a role in there early demise.
Paige you can make fun of the transgender community for our empowering edit of the word...but....
.....I find it extremely disturbing that while you show respect for another minority you have no problem dehumanizing and demoralizing your own. Proof positive transphobia can emanate from anywhere, even from within the transgender community.
Page, its not just a few transgender activists who rightly object to the promotion of tranny, quite the opposite. Its by far the majority of our community.
You will have a few standing on your side of the fence Paige, manly populists and gay men enthusiastic about another stab at us, but you are alone and very, very wrong.
And Conan O'Brien, just because someone has "page1" to broadcast there views does not make them right, as you are now well aware of. And Conan, thank you for man'ing up and apologizing for defaming us. You didn't know. You're cool.

Trans Pride March Turkey 2011 Video Wow
To contact us Click HERE
This one got past me but in case you missed it too...
A Social Justice and Art project of Gabrielle Le Roux, about Trans Activists in Turkey with the support of Amnesty International Turkey and the Consulate General of Netherlands.
The first ever Trans Pride March in Turkey was in 2010 in Istanbul. This short film documents the second Trans Pride and shows the passion and colour that the mobilization of Turkey's trans movement brought into the street. After this march, for the first time ever, the reporting on trans issues improved.
There is a frighteningly high, and growing, incidence of hate crimes and murders of transgender people, specially trans women, in Turkey, and a vibrant, motivated, politicized trans movement has emerged in response and is demanding to be heard.
These films comprise the video installation in the exhibition Proudly Trans in Turkey. The travelling exhibition, a cultural intervention for social justice, combines portraits drawn from life, first-person stories, interviews and video. It is a call to solidarity with the trans rights movement in Turkey. It is a co-creation between Turkish activists and South African artist and activist for social justice Gabrielle Le Roux.
This is an interactive initiative and we would love to know how and where these films are received. If you use them in your teaching/research/activism or advocacy work, please leave a comment or email proudlytransinturkey@gmail.com with feedback/questions

Let's Go Fly a Kite, or A Boat Load of Pictures
To contact us Click HERE
Uncle Chuck and Aunt Lara came to celebrate REH's 7th birthday (and maybe they came to celebrate my birthday too?). We spent all day outside playing. They brought a whiffle ball set and a kite and the kids had a BLAST! TJH especially enjoyed the kite; REH and SEH especially enjoyed the ball and bat. Proof is in the enormous amount of pictures. (Remember you can click on them to enlarge and accept my apologies for the amount: I couldn't decide what to keep and what to reject).
And then Auntie and Uncle were absolutely wiped out from playing all day. So were the kids, though. I put them down for a "nap" at 6PM and they woke up at 8 for dinner and most of them went right back to bed.
The Monday after (uh, yesterday...), TJH wanted to do nothing but go fly the kite again:
And then it all ended when it landed in the tree. :) No worries, though, I went out and got two more. At $2 each, they are well worth it.

| Keeping it low so Mom could get a picture with both the kid and the kite. |
