Fall is here and the heat and humidity are leaving and allowing the perfect weather to settle in Rocky Point, Mexico. This is arguably the best time to be in Rocky Point. Time stand still and the beach bars fill up at happy hour. Laughter is heard everywhere and soon the summer will be forgotten and we will laugh with the visitors complaining about shovelling snow.

A lot of things have happened since we last spoke and I will try to cover some of the highlights in this newsletter. Most important is probably that prices for Real Estate have rissen and continues to rise as well priced properties are getting scarce. The Money laundering act has been published and is now law. The Airport is a success and the home Port is going to be built.
The Mayor is actively promoting tourism in Rocky Point, and rental companies are seeing the difference. This year had more sell out weekends than any year in the last five years. Some companies have already earned more income than in the whole of last year. If you were planning to own Real Estate in Rocky Point, you should not delay.

During a recent meeting, the HOA of Las Palmas has announced that they will be improving the Resort. They are intent to upgrade current facilities and take the Resort to the next level of excellence. Future plans include installing Solar Panels for pool heating and Generating Power for the Resort to save on high utility bills.
The biggest Water Slide on Sandy Beach has been completed and it ends in the heated section of the pool. This is the only resort with two large waterslides and the only heated waterslides in Rocky Point.
Upgrades to the units includes low maintenance aluminum and glass railings that will improve the safety on the patios while offering unobstructed views. This has greatly improved the sellability of the resort.
Energy efficient LED lights with Solar Panels will be installed in the parking areas. These would provide light while parking after sundown and saving on electricity.

The Commission for the Promotion of Sonora Tourism said that construction of the Home Port of Puerto Peñasco, consisting of 600 million pesos is scheduled to start this year and will be constructed in an estimated time of 18 to 24 months.
Javier Tapia Camou explained that they are still on track to receive the first cruise passengers in 2015. Although they have had many delays, the budget for 2014 will include this project as a priority. The other Mayor construction was the Convention Center that will be completed in 2013.
The Mayor Professor Gerardo Zazueta Fiqueroa has visited with the Mexico President Enrique Pena Nieto and has received support for this project. He has offered the president the opportunity to launch the project by laying the first stone at the ground breaking ceremony. Depending on their schedules, this could happen as early as November.
A lot of High Profile people have been leaving the US lately and some of them have actually denounced their citizenship. Tina Turner and Eduardo Saverin are examples of these. Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson have recently disclosed their contempt for California taxes.
Puerto Peñasco, Mexico still offers you a great alternative as it is only 1 hours' drive south of the border and situated between the Sonoran desert and the warm Sea of Cortez. The weather is close to perfect and $1200.00 USD a month will still get you a condo with Sea view and a luxurious level of quality. Property taxes are still in the region of $100 USD per year and with new retails outlets such as the Sam's Club, Wal-Mart (Bodega Aurrera) and the Porto Mio Shopping Mall with six cinemas the city of Puerto Peñasco is fast becoming a great place to be.
Add to that the twice weekly flights to Las Vegas, Cruise liner home port, convention center and three excellent golf courses and you can understand why all the investors are grabbing the good deals as fast as they come on the market.
Crowds gathered at the Rocky Point international airport to welcome the first tourist disembarking from the Aero Mexico flight.
On June 20, 2013 at approximately 12:36 pm history was made when the first commercial AeroMexico flight touched down from Las Vegas. A ceremony was held and the Mayor Gerardo Figueroa Zazueta officially welcomed the tourists. The OCV has started with marketing campaigns in Las Vegas Area announcing the new destination. This effort included Las Vegas Travel Agents visiting Rocky Point to valuate and experience first hand what is on offer.
Online bookings can be done on http://www.aeromexico.com and the airport code for Rocky Point is PPE (Puerto Peñasco). Flights will depart on Thursdays and Sundays. The flight duration will be less than two hours.
There have been some parties that are still calling this a Buyers' Market and are under the impression that all prices will be slashed for their offers. Warren Buffett hit the nail on the head when he pointed out that you don't go to a barber asking if you need a haircut.
In the last three offers that we were involved in, we had no less than three parties making offers on each property prior to acceptance. The inventory had decreased and the quantity of sellable units is down. In most of the resorts the lowest priced properties have increased their listing value by thousands. Well priced units receive offers quickly and there are more investors keeping their eye on properties now.
The Real Estate Market in Rocky Point is still heading in the right direction. The Listings sold in 2012 to October 18, 2012 compared with the same period this year shows an increase of 44.7%. Active listings on the market for the same period has decreased by 7.9%. New listings being brought into the market for this last month has decreased by 29.7 %.
The biggest change can be found in the absorption rate. The absorption rate is the months that it would take to sell all the properties in the inventory at the current rate of sale. The absorption rate came down with an astounding 48.68 %. The absorption rate has shown a constant decline from June 2012.
The average sales price has increased by 44.51% and the average list price has increased by 5.94%. This clearly indicates that the listing prices are slowly increasing and the sellers are now getting better offers on their properties.

While most countries in the world are struggling with survival, Mexico has again proven to be resilient and the state of Sonora is no exception. Sonora has shown an annual 7.1% growth in GDP. Sonora showed a 5.4% increase in primary activities such as agriculture, livestock, forestry, fishing and hunting. Activities such as mining, manufacturing, construction and electricity, gas and water supply pipeline to the final consumer Sonora has increased with 3.1%.
As the president of Mexico Enrique Peña Nieto sat down and discussed politics with the US president Barack Obama in the White House they confirmed a continued battle against drug cartels and the implementation of immigration reforms. Little was said about expansion of trade between the countries.
Mexico is on the rise and soon the words "Hecho in Mexico" will replace the "Made in China" on consumables in the US. Wages in China has quintupled in the past ten years and the oil price has trebled. Mexico is already the biggest exporter of flat screen televisions, BlackBerrys and fridge-freezers, and is climbing up the rankings in cars, aerospace and more. At current trends the US will be importing more from Mexico than from China by 2018.
Politicians refuse to acknowledge that less Mexican citizens want to work in the US and more US citizens are migrating to Mexico for the cheaper and more relaxed lifestyle. They insist on overestimating immigration and undervaluing trade. Unemployment has decreased from a high of 5.8% in 2011 to 5.4% in October 2012.
With the new Natural Deep Water Harbor in Guaymas and the improving of the rail system to a distribution Hotspot in Tucson AZ from where goods will be distributed throughout the US the imports from Mexico could even exceed China before 2018.
This is a great time to invest in Mexico and Rocky Point is the place to be.
The newest announcement by the US government warning citizens to travel anywhere in the world other than the US do not come as a surprise as it deters travel outside of the US and keeps much needed dollars in the country. The President of the Sonora Chamber of commerce said that this warning will not deter visitors to Puerto Peansco as most owners who have visited the city knows the true state of affairs and will not hesitate to return. Not one person interviewed by Travel writers such as David Rush, Local real Estate Professionals, Vacation rental companies and state officials has indicated that they feel unsafe in Rocky Point, Mexico. People enjoy the tranquil relaxed vacation destination without harassment and fear.
Only tourists who have not been to Rocky Point are influenced by these warnings. The ease with which one lives in this city with all the beautiful and attractive tourist centers cannot be compared to any other tourist destination in Northern Mexico. Rocky Point is privileged that all the visitors during the last few months will promote the safety and enjoyment to everybody they know. They all enjoyed the weather and great entertainment in the area. Young men and woman went on tours, Shopped in the attractive arts and craft stalls and reveled in rich and delicious seafood dishes on offer in the restaurants.
The Municipal Administration in the city of Rocky Point continues to maintain the safety and securityof both the population and visitors who are the core to the economy. Come visit us and see what you have been afraid of all this time. You will laugh at all the negative press you have previously believed.
The governor of the state of Sonora has visited Rocky Point to discuss the Perspectives and Challenges of tourism. Statistics were presented indicating an increase of 16% in occupancy rates year over year from 2011. Nearly 1.5 million visitors arrived in the area during this year. Summer was the highest tourism season and showed an increase of 25%. An estimated 74 million dollars by tourism was one of the most important pushes for economic growth and the creation of jobs in the City.
Projects that are receiving attention at this time are: the widening of the Caborca Highway, The expansion of the Mexican Border entry at Sonoyta for the comfort of American Tourists visiting Rocky Point, The commercial flights that will soon be providing aerial travel between Las Vegas, Rocky Point and Hermisillo and will commence in February of 2013 and run three times weekly.
The state tourism director Javier Tapia Camou discussed the progress on the creation of the Home Port for cruise liners that will be the first Home Port in all of Mexico. This will be constructed in various phases and the first phase will allow ships with a length of 300 meters to dock and disembark. This project will include a cruise ship terminal. The project will take approximately 2.5 years to construct and there are companies ready to immediately program their routes as soon as the construction commences. The inauguration and launch of this project is programmed for the first quarter of 2013.
The real Estate forecast for 2013 is described as "Slow but promising". Commercial store openings are on a four year high and led by Dollar stores and Restaurant chains. Subway plans to open 5000 new stores and Five Guys Burgers are to open 1200. Dollar general is planning 650 stores, Family Dollar want to open 500 and Dollar tree 350 stores.
Big money seems to be betting on the return of the market in 2013. The Blackstone group of New York bought 6500 single family homes for more than $ 1 Billion Dollars, The Colony Capital Group bought 4000, and Two Harbors acquired 2200 houses. The sentiment is that Americans still want to own a home and although they are currently renting the dream has not changed. As the market returns they will still want to own their own home and will buy one.

The tourism section of the city of Puerto Peñasco is in the process of securing direct flights between Las Vegas, Puerto Peñasco and Hermosillo. These discussions have been in progress for quite some time and are in the process of being finalized. The first flights are scheduled for February 7, 2013 and will continue for the next six months.
The city has secured these flights without any ticket sales and even if the flights are empty they will still be flying twice a week on schedule. The income from the ticket sales will go to extend the service and as the flights become financially viable the schedules will be extended to Tijuana and Juarez.
The cost for this initial flight schedule has been set at $ 700,000 USD and has to be paid by the Tourism board of Rocky Point (OCV). They have received $ 400,000 from the federal government and other official sources and the rest will be paid by private companies in Rocky Point. Castaways vacation rentals have made a donation of $40,000 and with the promises made by other local businesses, the city will be able to raise the full amount by the deadline.

It is my opinion that I should not have to be writing anything about safety in Rocky Point, Mexico, but as the news media continues to use every opportunity to create an image that Rocky Point is unsafe and a haven for gun battles and everything bad, I have to provide my unbiased view. I have been living in Rocky Point full time for several years now and I still consider it the safest place I have ever lived in.
Both the mayors of Phoenix AZ and Tucson AZ agreed that the state of Sonora and by implication Rocky Point is the safest in the whole of Mexico.
Greg Stanton, Mayor of Phoenix AZ said that Sonora may have security issues, the same as what they have in the US, but he knows that Sonora is probably the safest state in Mexico. He added that he has no problem recommending a to visit Rocky Point.
Jonathan Rothschild, Mayor of Tucson AZ, said he has no problem recommending citizens to visit Rocky Point, Mexico. He said "I've talked to many people, of all types, and they all say they feel very safe, in fact safer than they have been in years." He definitely recommended that people of Arizona visit Rocky Point and see for themselves what is going on.
Rocky Point, Mexico has again proven that it is a preferred tourist destination on the Sea of Cortez. The City of Rocky point was visited by tourists from Northwest Mexico, the United States and even groups from as far away as China.
Tourism has again increased from last summer with an astounding 17%. Rocky Point was visited by an average of 60,000 people per week for this summer season. Reservations ranged on average from 72% to 95% occupancy during this time. (The higher averages being during weekends). Several weekends were fully booked by reservation companies, which only left expensive beach homes available.
In the six weeks from July to middle August more than 400,000 people visited the city of Rocky Point, Mexico. The flow was constant and all businesses in Rocky Point have indicated that they had reason to employ more people. This is good news for the community and the unemployment figures have decreased dramatically according to the OCV (Convention and Visitors Bureau) President, Héctor Vázquez del Mercado.
Rocky Point is continuously being upgraded and the federal government as well as other private entities are spending vast sums of money to better the City and improve Tourism.
A total of 142,666 m2 roads will be paved in the near future and work has already commenced on this endeavor. The streets identified for this project are: Cholla Boulevard, Boulevard Samuel Ocaña, East Ave, Marcelo Pino Avenue, Calle 9, Luis Encinas and St. Louis Avenue. It is the intent of the government to reduce the dust and dirt roads in Rocky Point and make this a prime tourist destination. Every effort will be made to complete this work by the end of 2012.
Phase one of the Convention Center on Sandy beach will be completed in October 2012 and the second phase will commence immediately. The first conventions and seminars will only be held early next year and several requests have already been received.
The Real Estate market in the US is changing. Super-low prices and a considerable supply of condos and homes on the market is a sure sign that there is no better time to buy a home. The prices have bounced on the bottom, and as the confidence in the market returns the pricing are starting to head upwards and many sellers are taking their properties off the market to wait for better prices.
Forbes has reported that the Real Estate market reports show home values increased by 2.1 % from the first to the second quarter. Annually the prices rose by 0.2%. CNN Money concurred and added that this was the first time in 5 years that the home prices have increased.
Bloomberg reported a strong recovery in the starting of new homes and Goldman Sachs Group Inc. said this may drive a surge in new home sales.
Besides this being an amazing time to buy a home, it is an equally favorable time to buy an investment property. There is massive profit to be made in real estate, though not simply by quickly flipping properties, as was the mistake of many investors who could not get out of their properties in time when the real estate market crashed. Purchase an investment property at these super low prices and think long-term by focusing on how much income you can generate each month.
With the tourism returning the vacation rental opportunities are getting better and if well managed will sustain your investment while it is gaining in value and the markets stabilize.

Puerto Penasco is slowly awakening out of the slumber it has been lulled into by the Financial crises, Bird flu, US passport regulations, Bad Press (Mostly fabricated lies) and fear mongering stories of crime. We are seeing old faces of owners who have not been here for the last four years and they are wondering why they did not come to Rocky Point. They all had such great times and vow to return again as soon as possible with their whole families. Yes they found out it is safe and still great fun.

Most of the projects that have previously been stopped on Sandy Beach due to a lack of funding have been revived by the Federal government and loans were secured to clean up Sandy Beach.
The roads are being paved in the tourist areas and the old port project is nearing completion. At this rate it should be completed before the spring breakers arrive. The harbor mouth is being made deaper and rumor has it that they are going to expand the harbor to include more slips for the international yacht owners.
Even the shopping mall Porto Mio has received a shipment of new building material and will commence with construction and completion of the first phase.

HAS THE HOUSING MARKET HIT BOTTOM AT LAST?
To some this headline might not mean much, but to the Mexicanized internationals that have tasted filled Jalapeño with shrimp and cheese this is great news. More than a bit cheesy and altogether delightful news, the addition of more cheese to any dish is an improvement in my book.
Scientists at the New Mexico State University claimed that they have successfully bred a new medium spicy, extra large Jalapeño, specially optimized for an increased cheese payload. The jumbo chili emerged from hybridization between a bell pepper and a regular sized Jalapeño. It was specifically designed for the people in the know who demanded even larger, cheesier and meatier Jalapeño poppers. (A popular stuffed, breaded and deep-fried appetizer or bar snack). The Puerto Peñasco version is Jalapeño stuffed with cheese and shrimp, then wrapped in smoked bacon and deep fried to golden deliciousness.
The average prices in the housing market have stopped declining and there are even some signs of life in the existing home market according to Martin Hutchinson, Global Investing Strategist, Money Morning.
In Puerto Peñasco, Mexico we have noticed a drop in housing inventory. The lower priced bargains are becoming scarcer. A year ago we could provide the prospective buyer with a selection of at least 6 one bedroom condo's under $ 100,000 USD in a particular resort. The same resort now has only 3 condos for less than $ 100,000 USD and the lowest price is $ 95,000 USD as opposed to $ 65,000 USD a year ago. Although sales have been slow, there have constantly been sales for each week in the year and I have seen one week boasting nine sales.
This year we have seen sellout weekends on vacation rentals for the first time since 2008 and a general demand for more long term rentals than in the past. In a nutshell the time to own your vacation home or condo in Puerto Peñasco is NOW! Don't delay or you will miss the amazing opportunities that are on the market now. We have several properties with owner and development financing available. Contact me for details at wesellrockypoint@gmail.com.
Expert REALTY Rocky Point now offers a full range of services to meet demand; this includes sales, rentals (vacation and long term rentals), property management, bill paying, cleaning and maintenance.
The housing market decline has left approximately 6 million families without a home of their own. They moved in with family and friends, while others rented apartments or low cost housing. These families have now started to pull the wagon through the drift and they are slowly submerging from the debt crises they experienced.
A study in the United States has shown that 81 percent of all defaulters have been able to rent again even though their credit scores have not been as high as the landlords would have preferred. 8 Percent of these defaulters have been successful in buying Real Estate.
The one factor to consider is that most of the ex homeowners want to own property again in the near future. The renters claim that they are saving approximately 30 percent while renting and will shortly be in a position to buy.
The savings and low house prices are encouraging people to invest in their future and with the demand increasing for vacation rentals in Puerto Peñasco, Mexico, this is an obvious choice to make great investments and get future rental income from the condo you own on the beach. One investor actually claimed to have made a net profit of $20,000 USD for the past year.

There is a distinct upswing in the tourism we are experiencing in Puerto Penasco, Mexico. You might have heard that Memorial Day weekend was fully booked for the first time since 2008. This appears to be the trend for most of the weekends in June 2011.
The Mexican Government is on track to triple the tourism revenue by 2018. Bloomberg reported a projected increase of tourists to 50 million and an income of $40 Billion per year in the next 8 years. They are projecting an increase of 15% in tourism for this year.
The violence in Mexico has been confined to 80 of the country's 2500 municipalities, many of them along the US Mexico border. Puerto Penasco is not one of them. There were no incidents involving international tourists during the spring break season.
Rocky Point has again succeeded in hosting the Miss Sonora Beauty pageant and it was a spectacular Gala Event. The event was viewed by 20 Million people on national television as it was broadcasted live throughout Mexico. You have to remember that we have the most beautiful girl in the world in Mexico.
More and more people without health care are coming to Mexico for all their medical needs. They are finding the standard of service excellent and at a fraction of the price.
Dr. Robert H. Page of Tempe did research and found that a specific type of surgery done in the United States after negotiating discounts came to $13,000USD. The same surgery was done in Mexico and the patient spent two days in hospital (Not included in the US quote). The total costs for everything was a mere $1,250USD. Medical services such as Optical, Dental, Prescriptions and others can be as low as one tenth of those in the US.
As you all know Puerto Penasco has a new Hospital on Sandy Beach and everybody that I have spoken to has only praised the Doctors and the facilities.
Since May 24, 2011 a new immigration law has been in effect and was signed into law by the President Felipe Calderon.
Visitor- This category will include tourists and is valid for 180 days.
Temporary resident– This is similar to the previous FM3 and lasts for 4 years.

Where To Bet X Factor
WhereToBet.Net > Entertainment > Where To Bet X Factor
First started by the now famous celebrity producer Simon Cowell, 'The X Factor' is a British based television show dedicated to finding new musical talents with star appeal. Part of the ITV channel line-up, it uses a competition format to find stars who will go on to hopefully have successful careers of their own following the end of each series. With the competition being so high throughout the course of each series run, it therefore stands to reason that there's money to potentially be made when betting, which we shall now look at here.
Essentially working as a televised talent show, a selection of singers audition in front of a panel of judges, many of whom have worked for a long-time in the music industry, as they fight for their chance to be recognized. This recognition can come in the form of professional coaching, and/or a record deal at the end of the series, although many artists have gone on to enjoy long-lasting careers regardless of whether or not they won. One such example is that of 'One Direction' who, despite finishing in third place in the seventh series, went on to become one of the most internationally recognized and successful British boy-bands of their generation.
The show has become not only a mainstay of the music industry, but a staple of British prime-time television. With a lot at stake for each of the performers, and a chance for them to make it in the world of show-business, this means there's a lot of competition. How can you potentially profit from this then, and what can you do to ensure that your make the most of your money when betting?
Where To Bet X Factor:
America: As of yet there aren't any bets currently available for this show, although you may be able to find something for the American version.
Canada: Here you'll want to choose Bet365 Sportsbook as your main sportsbook for all your X Factor betting needs.
Everywhere Else: Again Bet365 Sportsbook will serve you best here, as you should find this offers all you want when betting on X Factor in the UK and internationally.

Intertops (Various / Free Bets)
Starting out in 2004 on the 4th of September, X Factor would take the mantle of the UK's leading pop-music based talent show following the departure of 'Pop-Idol' the previous year. Other shows such as 'Got Talent', which was also created by Simon Cowell, would follow in its footsteps, but it would be X Factor that would become one of the leading most successful brands to date. Taking place in the United Kingdom initially, it has gone on to see its format successfully transported worldwide, with the franchise being adapted for various different international markets.
One key difference for this show is that each judge 'mentors' their preferred stars as the show progresses, coaching them and their song selection in the finals. This is a brief outline of how the show itself is generally laid out:
Judges: the line-up of judges, many of whom have music industry experience, select who they want to go through on the basis of musical talent and star appeal.
Public Vote: Through a mixture of phone-in votes, online voting, and mobile apps, the public have their say on who should get through at the end of each show.
Finals: The decision is made on who will win the series overall and go on to become a star.
While there are many acts and artists discovered along the way, the bets themselves largely focus on who will win each series. What are the best methods for putting all of this into play though, and what should you watch out for when placing a bet?
Common X Factor Betting Questions:
Which sort of performers should I watch out for?:
It's best to see which performers the audience are responding well to first and foremost, as it's them who they are performing for. If the audience aren't on their side then it's a good bet that they won't get far as the series progresses, because they're also the audience for the finished product. Keep up-to-date by paying close attention to what's being said online and in the media generally about each of them and their personalities. A good performance is key though, as they need to be able to perform at a high level, along with what type of music the event itself attracts.
What types of bet are offered for the show?:
Firstly you'll be presented with the 'To Win Outright', giving you the option of who will go through winning the series overall. Then there's the 'Top Group' bet, which allows you to choose which music group will come out on top from the entire series. A bet that you can make on a regular basis later on in the series with each show,, is deciding who will be eliminated from the next round. You can also bet on which judge will win, with the 'Winning Judge' bet, as the public selects which judge's acts will go through.
How to Bet on X Factor:
Bet365 Sportsbook: Using the 'English' language tab at the top of the first page, you then want to go on and choose 'Specials' down the left-hand side. Here you'll find 'United Kingdom at the top of the new selection, which will give you all the UK bets down the middle of the page. Among these is the 'X Factor: Celebrity' section, giving you all the relevant bets you'll want underneath.
X Factor Betting Strategy:
As mentioned, take the time to learn about the performers themselves, looking at their trajectory throughout the series. Typically the show has favoured a particular brand of pop-music in the past, which is something to keep in mind when placing your bet. The audience is essential in deciding the winner, so it largely comes down to them and their taste, and this is also something you need to be aware of.
Giving you a good selection of bets too, you'll want to take full advantage of what's on offer, creating an effective combination of bets to gain better odds. Whether it's using the 'Elimination' bet each episode, or using the overall 'To Win Outright' wager, you should be able to tailor your experience to exactly what you want.

Letter to the editor: An eloquent statement by Stanford students
By Letters to the Editor on November 22, 2017
The student protest of "hate speech" disguised as free speech was indeed an eloquent statement and void of shouting and/or disruptive behavior, the latter of which was the response some desired.
Their direct action expressed in "shoe leather" was a both sophisticated and eloquent statement to Mr. Spencer and those who invited him of their opposition to his views.
The student protest was a celebratory statement of "We the people" in our Constitution. The protest reminded me of the first student sit-in at the F.W. Woolworth lunch counter, when we "stood up" by sitting down.
Go Stanford!
— Larry Fewell, San Jose


Mar. 31, 2016 (Mimesis Law) — Here's the scenario: It's a beautiful, scolding hot morning in Miami, and a misdemeanor DUI trial is about to begin. After both sides announce ready for trial, defense counsel requests to interview the arresting officer in the hallway. The officer agrees, and while the jury panel is brought out by the judge, both defense attorney and witness go outside to discuss the case. The officer answers all questions, and reluctantly concedes that the driver was polite, compliant, and was generally steady on his feet during the field sobriety exercises.
The defense attorney takes diligent notes of this exchange, but this is not sworn testimony, and there is always a chance that the officer turns out to be a faux bonhomme, who later goes on to tell the jury how the defendant fell out of his truck while yelling expletives and stinking of booze. If only there was something that could help the defense bind the officer to his statements in the hallway . . .
Before we go any further, here are some of the parameters regarding the significance of an officer's testimony in Florida's misdemeanor/traffic cases: (i) while these hallway interviews are voluntary on the part of the officers or civilian witnesses, their custom (so far) is to acquiesce to the interviews, and the trial judges encourage it; (ii) unlike felony cases, depositions of witnesses are not permitted by Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.220(h), absent showing good cause; and (iii) most police departments in Florida shun dash cam footage.
A Miami Beach cop, worried about his words being twisted at trial, recently used his newly outfitted "body camera" to record a hallway interview by a defense attorney — without telling her first.
The episode and backlash have spurred Miami Beach police to ban officers from using the new technology at such so-called hallway depositions.
Well, so much for that. Video recordings of these hallways interviews would generally bind the officers to their answers or face impeachment through video evidence in front of the jury. If the public records request that will be made by the public defender's office to determine how many times officers have recorded these hallway interviews — and if these videos are ordered produced — they could be used to impeach these officers' testimony in future cases, if they provided inconsistent statements in the stand. The fact that at least one officer voluntarily recorded a hallway interview, and the public defender's reaction was to try to block it, is mind boggling.
Yours truly has never seen an officer turn down a hallway interview for these types of cases. At most, an officer has requested the presence of the prosecutor or another officer during the interview, which is fine for the defense, as it is simply more ears that are privy to his statements regarding the facts of the case.
While public defender Carlos Martinez gives a hostage to fortune when he says he believes that officers "will stop consenting to the informal interviews," the chances of that happening across the board aren't great. This practice of "hallway interviews" has been going on for years, in many courtrooms, with the blessing of many police departments across Miami-Dade county.
But if this did stop hallway depositions, it would mean that more defense attorneys would be filing motions to depose before trial, requiring hearings on the motions, further clogging the dockets and "delaying" trials, and ordering cops' appearance at a time and date apart from their only other required appearance, trial. In other words, more work for all involved. What is more like to happen, however, is that officers will be more en garde during these interviews, and more police departments will follow/learn from Miami Beach Police, and forbid their officers from recording hallway interviews to avoid creating a record the defense can use.
The stakes are high in Florida misdemeanor cases, especially DUIs, which carry significant mandatory minimum penalties and driving restrictions for each conviction. The PD's office has an extensive guide of its own when it comes to collateral consequences for criminal convictions, ranging from housing to employment. With no depositions, dash cam videos, or recording of hallway interviews in the defense attorney's quiver, a body camera recording of the interviews would be discoverable and potentially beneficial.
The issue of body cameras is a complex one, and some police departments' actions when it comes to selective recordings, depending on the type of case at hand, has been downright disgraceful. But if a police officer simply wants to record a hallway interview before trial, which he is allowed to do in Florida, by all means let him.
Absent the defense attorney saying something to his client's detriment while the cameras are rolling, a problem over which he has complete control to avoid, this is something that can truly aid the defense by keeping the police officer honest. And the police union wants its officers to be allowed to turn the cameras in the hallways!
There's nothing wrong with embracing the rare occasion when you are on the receiving end once in a while. Don't spoil it.

Nov. 6, 2012 -- The FDA has approved Pfizer's Xeljanz (tofacitinib), a first-of-its-kind treatment for rheumatoid arthritis.
Xeljanz is approved for use by patients not helped by methotrexate, the usual first treatment for RA. It's a pill taken twice a day.
Xeljanz is a type of drug called a Janus kinase or JAK inhibitor. Blocking JAK mutes the inflammation responses responsible for RA.
"Xeljanz provides a new treatment option for adults suffering from the debilitating disease of RA who have had a poor response to methotrexate," says Badrul Chowdhury, MD, PhD, the FDA's head of pulmonary, allergy, and rheumatology products.
Some 70% of RA patients eventually stop responding to methotrexate. Some 1.5 million Americans suffer from RA.
In clinical trials, patients taking Xeljanz had better physical functioning than patients taking an inactive placebo pill. But because it inhibits immune responses, Xeljanz adds to a person's risk of serious infections, cancers, and lymphoma. The drug will carry a "black box" warning about these risks.
People taking Xeljanz also had higher cholesterol levels, lower blood counts, and increased liver enzyme levels. Prescriptions will come with a medication guide carrying important safety information and a plan for informing health care providers about the drug's serious risks.
More common side effects associated with Xeljanz are upper respiratory tract infections, headache, diarrhea, and inflammation of the nasal passage and the upper part of the throat.
Because Xeljanz dampens out-of-control immune responses, it's being explored as a treatment for other autoimmune diseases such as psoriasis.
