...Outsourcing Vehicle Inspections Similar to the previous recommendation, the strategy of outsourcing vehicle inspections reduces the volume of in-person renewals as well as streamlines the registration process (refer to Appendix C [Table 2] for a cost-benefit analysis). Also, outsourcing offers customers the convenience of extended hours and more locations to get their vehicles inspected. In the case of the DMV, it improves performance because it reduces the cost of operating field offices and the agency receives assistance in meeting the demands of the 4 million patrons with up-to-date equipment. However, it’s imperative to mention that contracting out services results in a loss of control for the organization, such as training of associates or providing quality inspection service. In spite of that, the DMV can carefully negotiate contracts to include performance evaluations and audits on the vendors to ensure that customers receive great service based on state inspection standards. Overall, the Dept. of Motor Vehicles can meet its two SMART goals and improve its performance by implementing this strategy—it’s a low cost and a high...

...electronic notification signs. These features, as well as vehicle safety technologies, are in place to protect drivers from the dangers inherent in driving. However, the number one cause of collisions is driver error. Traffic safety is the primary responsibility of all highway users. You can carry out this responsibility by practicing safe and courteous driving behavior. Texas has a highway system that is considered to be one of the most extensive systems in the United States. Annually, Texas drivers will log over 187 billion miles. In recent years, the state of Texas has seen the numbers of traffic fatalities increase. Two primary contributors to this increase are speeding and driving while intoxicated (DWI). Any driver in the United States can reduce fatalities and injuries by simple acts such as using safety belts. If we all contribute to responsible driving, we can drastically decrease highway fatalities. It begins with YOU. Make a personal commitment today to carefully pay attention to the content of this course and to study the Texas Driver Handbook. Do this to develop the skills and knowledge that you need to become a safe driver. Basic knowledge of traffic laws provides a driver with the foundation to formulate informed, legal, and responsible decisions to reduce risk.

...Reviewing the code that Mr Groth states that has Mrs Mezzapesa facing jail time reads this way Article 173 section 11 Outdoor storage prohibited. A. It shall be unlawful for any person to store or deposit or cause or permit to be stored or deposited an abandoned or junked motor vehicle or the used parts therefrom in the Town of Hempstead except within a wholly enclosed building. B. Any abandoned or junked motor vehicle or the used parts therefrom stored or deposited on any land in the Town of Hempstead shall be removed by the owner, occupant, lessee, agent or tenant thereof or the person occupying, managing or controlling said land. Unless English has changed and Abandoned and Junked is now codeword for "Unregistered" it appears Inspector Groth should sign up for a review of the Town of Hempstead codes and actually how to read and interpret them. There is no other way to see Inspector Groth's action other than he stretching the code wordage as an intimidation tactic used by him in order to intimidate Mrs Mezzapesa into removing a legally stored car on private...

...CIVIL AND SOCIAL USES OF DRONES. March 21, 2016 Drones, otherwise known as Unmanned Aerial Vehicles or Remotely Piloted Vehicles, are pilotless aerial vehicles which can be guided either through remote control from its control base or can navigate autonomously based on a preprogrammed software. Drones are often classified into military and civilian drones. Both with individual characteristics which distinguish them. The most outright difference is their functions, whereby military drones are used in the military setting whereas civilian drones are used in less ‘violent' functions and are unarmed, unlike their military counterparts. Eddie Codel, a digital photographer behind the first ever Flying Robot International Film Festival, stated that “Drones are now being used to help humanity tackle global issues”. This is especially true for the civilian drones which so far scientists are trying to get their relevance in almost every aspect of life. “The applications of drones are as limitless as the imagination” added Codel. As per what can be seen today, this is especially true in the fields where drones have been applied and have brought forth untold success. Areas like; search and rescue operations, Monitoring and inspecting infrastructure ,Aerial photography, filming of events ,Property inspections and appraisals ,Agricultural surveys, inspections, and maintenance ,Private surveillance and investigation ,Commercial aerial photography ,Entertainment, video feeds, filming...

...is unreasonable when performed by the Government and not authorised by the warrant or conducted under circumstances given rise to an exception to the warrant requirement. The 4th Amendment does not prohibit, or require a warrant for reasonable searches and seizures. It is a restraint on government or state action, but does not prohibit private reasonable or unreasonable searches of seizures. The 4th Amendment does not require a warrant for searches of US citizen on foreign soil. Prob: Wife searched H briefcase and found videos in which H featured their 13 year daughter in a pornographic film. W turned the film over to a friend, a police officer, who used it to obtain an arrest warrant. H could not claim a 4th Amendment violation to suppress the film, because W is not an agent for the state, and thus there was no state action. For a warrant to issue a detached disinterest magistrate must find that the Government has demonstrated a substantial basis of probable cause. The Government must be able to show objectively that taking into account the experience and expertise of the officer, (i) for an arrest warrant it is more probable than not that a crime has been committed and that the person to be arrested committed that crime, or (ii) for a search warrant that is more probable than not that evidence of a crime or contraband presently is located in a certain place.
