From Editorial ...citynewswatchJan 16, 2012 07:08 PM<br />From Editorial Staff of CITYNEWSWATCH: Apologies but there have been some problems with the Blogger system locking up, including with this post when originally published evening of Jan 16th, 2012.

Honest rrporting!<br />I can only imagine that it infuriates rodney, so be careful!<br /><br /><br />Anonymous Jan 17, 2012 07:47 AM<br />A couple things. First, Aggravated assault is a UCR classification and not a NIBRS classification. All aggravated assaults are categorized as Part 1 offenses. The appropriate charge for the shooting into a house is Shooting into Occupied Dwelling which is a felony. If it is unoccupied, then it is damage to property as there was no person present to be assaulted. Assault with a Deadly Weapon is a misdemeanor in North Carolina unless there is serious injury, but it still counts as an aggravated assault and a Part 1 offense. <br /><br />Unauthorized use is typically done when someone has permission to use the car, just not at that time. So if you allow your brother to use your car a lot but when you go to use it and you find out he has taken it, then it becomes an unauthorized use. The defense is "I did not know I was not allowed to have it." Plus, you have the intent to permanently deprive with a larceny. It is more a court thing than a police department thing.<br /><br />If they are putting multiple break in victims on one report, then to my knowledge and understanding, that is done incorrectly as each break in victim would have to be listed separately. I do know there is a hotel/motel provision, but I have not researched it to know if that is appropriate for a storage facility or not. I don't believe it is, but I do not know.<br /><br /><br />Anonymous Jan 17, 2012 09:31 AM<br />Still unclear about the proper charges when a person is intentionally shot with one of 20 bullets.<br /><br />Still unclear when someone shoots 10 or 20 times but misses.<br /><br />Agree poeple want to use UUMV as a defense, but that doesn't mean they should be charged that way: many of them were simultaneously charged with trying to present false tags or something and had done it before--you know, like a regular car thief, not like a frequent unauthorized borrower...<br /><br />UCR rules absolutely require separate counts for each robbed storage unit to be entered. Also multiple homes hit. Also other situations. Confirmed with UCR manual, multiple UCR trainers.citynewswatchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14214511334944878054noreply@blogger.com
