NEW ARTICLE: Volume 3; Issue 2 - Article 3
|
In part one of this series we discussed the necessity of seeing certain records: Routine maintenance, trouble sheets and repair records. I demonstrated how calibration records can determine the overall reliability of a device by establishing its precision. Part two discussed what you are probably already getting in terms of discovery (The Big Six), and why most state agencies say that this information is good enough – and why it is not. In this final article in this series, we will address the records that most prosecutors and state agencies are reluctant, or adamantly opposed, to providing – Inspection and Training Records, and Operational Logs. I’m going to try and make a case in this article for their necessity – and hope to establish, in your mind at least, why you should argue for their disclosure.
