Driving Under Influence

Intoxicated Driving Rob Gordon,

Washington County (Oregon) Sheriff's Office -- Stopping Kids Intoxicated Driving (SKID) Washington County Sheriff's Office Stopping Kids Intoxicated Driving Rob Gordon, Sheriff 215 SW ADAMS, MS 32Hillsboro, OR 97123 Phone (503) 846-METH (6384) / FAX (503) 846-2733 What is a SKID? Stopping Kids Intoxicated Driving (SKID) is a program that brings what appears to be a fatal alcohol-related traffic crash to local high schools to illustrate the consequences of drunk driving. SKID is a graphic and realistic portrayal of crushed vehicles and injured bodies. As the scenario unfolds, Sheriff's Office deputies, state or local police officers, Metro West Ambulance, Life Flight and other public safety partners, converge on the scene. They actually go through the motions of administering first aid to the "victims". The dramatization is so realistic that people often get caught up in the emotions of the moment; they even forget that the scene is not real. Many students who witness a SKID are moved to tears. Because of the realism, a SKID presentation may not be suitable for children under 10 years of age. Deputy Tim Moore of the Sheriffs Office has been coordinating SKID presentations in local high schools since 1998. Since then, more than 30,000 students have witnessed the presentation. There have only been two alcohol-related crashes involving students from the schools that have seen the program. The crashes resulted in 1 death and 3 injuries. SKID is a very powerful tool in educating young people about the dangers of drinking and driving. The SKID presentations involve students from the high school hosting the event; they are made up to be crash victims. As a result, the SKID leaves a lasting impression in the hearts and minds of students and others that may face real-life decisions about drinking and driving. We strongly encourage parents, grandparents and friends to gather the teenagers in their lives and join us for one of these important events.

Grey Monkey & Almost Librarian » Jury Duty Home | About | Archives | Links | Contact Grey Monkey & Almost Librarian The World of Bevill Tue 11 Oct 2005 Jury Duty Posted by site admin under General Last week I had jury duty… It was the first time I’d ever gotten called for jury duty in the last 10 years or so, and all previous times I got out of it for school. I actually showed up Monday and got picked for the trial Thursday morning. At first I thought there was no way I’d want a jury trial after hearing the people in the pool of prospective jurors, but after spending time with those people in the jury room I felt completely different. The actual trial was really short with only the police officer testifying, the video of the field sobriety test and the arrest. The lawyers doing their spin jobs, and the judge explaining the process and giving his instructions took the longest. The video that was shown was chopped, which led us to believe there was something they didn’t want us to see, which we then suspected were prior arrests. More on that later though. Other than the word of the police and the video, there wasn’t shit to go on as the defendant refused to take the breath/blood test and we were instructed that we couldn’t use that against him. Many of the things that were pointed out in the video such as him staggering, were in fact him rubbing out his cigarrete butt a few times. The smokers noticed that right away. Anyway we all thought there was more to the story that we weren’t being told, but it didn’t total up to being found guilty. When I got home the first thing I did was look up his arrest history that will show county and city arrests, and sure as shit this wasn’t his first incident. He had 3 previous arrests and two more after the fact. In all six he was booked for DUI, refusing to take the breath/blood test and for not having a licence. Part of the video that was cut was when he asked what’s going to happen to his license in the beginning which led us to think he was used to the process. -Grey Monkey One Response to “Jury Duty” Zerin Hood Says: October 17th, 2005 at 1:33 pm What was the officer’s testimony? How many beers did the defendant say that he had been drinking? Were there any passengers in the car? More importantly, what was the discussion in the jury room like?
