Almost as bad? I think having access to individual text messages is worse than DMs on an app. Snowden’s expose is a million times worse and it just swept under the rug
@jbendery
Ironically there is a best selling book called “Picking Cotton” about a woman who was raped at knife point who misidentified her rapist and now travels the country with the wrongfully accused speaking about faulty eyewitness identifications.
@ElliottStephenB
Has it been recorded? The link sends me to a real time stream. My guess is there is already a team out there to destroy the video/audio bc it was in recess. Maybe I’m an idiot and can’t work the link. But it just goes to a live feed. And it needs to be preserved for sure.

I bet their constituents would be shocked if they knew how often their representatives ate at JR, Morton’s, and various other high priced dinners. I love the restaurants, but not what I would call blue collar establishments. They eat there like a normal person does chick fil a.
Update on the outbreak at CoreCivic Nashville. Covid has infected my diabetic older non violent client. When I asked for compassionate release a few weeks ago the ADA said on the record. “He is where he needs to be” He’s been incarcerated almost 2 years for a non violent offense
Hey
@OversightNow
did you know that the TITANs unit (Nashville's version of Memphis Scorpion Unit) does not have to utilize body cams pursuant to the General Orders other officers do? According to
@MNPDNashville
and
@DavidsonCoDA
today in open court. Not very transparent.
@CSexton25
In Federal court they don’t do money bail. It’s based on a judicial determination after a hearing. Then, people on pretrial release are under supervision similar to probation. We could do that too, but you take to much money from the bail/bond lobbyists.
@ExposingClay
There is no case in the Virgin Islands or in Middle Tennessee where Richard “clay” Travis has been listed as an attorney of record. He has never been an attorney of record in any actual case. Criminal or Civil.
Just came upon an assaulted woman with injury in the Gulch. Called 911 and
@MNPDNashville
to report 10 minutes ago and still no one here. Man has walked away at this point
Currently in a hearing in Nashville. After a series of “I don’t remember exactly how that happened” the officer testified whatever the body cam shows is exactly what happened. Exactly why they are needed.

I think Casey has a unique prospective on social injustice as a player given that his wife is a public defender and sees it all day everyday.
After an hour and a half drive from Franklin to Downtown Nashville at 3pm today, my priorities are 1)traffic/transit, 2) Police, Fire, teacher salaries, and 3) housing. Traffic by far

There have been multiple federal court rulings on Orders of Protection or restraining orders and firearm prohibition bc of Breun. NRA has already won their position on those wanting domestic abusers to have access to firearms.
@TennFirearms
It’s amazing to me that life with possibility of parole can be 30 years in GA and just north is 51 years in TN, nearly double. We should just acknowledge as a state we don’t actually have life with possibility of parole.
A jury found three men guilty of murder for killing 25-year-old Ahmaud Arbery last year. All three could face a sentence of life in prison without the possibility for parole.

That’s not what the clip discussed at all. And they reported on an op-Ed piece. I think they definitely over counted on the one hand. But integrity in media is important. Crazy the number of people who believe the tweets without watching/reading the article the tweet cites.
This video is worth watching. A reporter's dedication to the story and unveiling the tragedies of coal ash cost one of the best reporters in the state her lifelong job. And I bet she would do it all over again and also that TVA hasn't heard the last of her.
Always interesting to see the mass amount of rich realtors and developers speaking out against STR regulation. Check out the Range Rover parking lot. Tuned into planning commission for a minute before leaving for Hamilton
Could you imagine if
@NashvilleHealth
gave us this kind of information? It may actually help prevent the spread! However, they pick and choose when to claim HIPAA. It’s total BS and they need to be more transparent and honest with the public.
Hey
@NESpower
we just got notice that the most populous block in the Gulch will be without power on Sunday night of CMAs while the show is going on, for 10 hours. Will you be providing my 73yr old handicapped father with transportation up 11 flights of stairs?

@emwest22
I can’t tell you how many times I heard this story at the Williamson county school board meeting. I guess it could be because no one ever told this made up story.
Yesterday residents of Deleware Ave near McKissack park called

to report midday auto burglaries by group of men at 1:30pm. Last night multiple homes were burglarized, and it’s on video. Still waiting on any kind of police response.

Overheard an Assistant DA tell another defense attorney "if your client doesn't plead to my offer (open to the indictment) I am going to go back to the grand jury and try to indict for more serious charges bc I think they got it wrong." Not bc new evidence. Not in Sumner County
@jrlind
Given that you are only allowed to advertise up to 12 guests (per codes) on Airbnb and currently at 2:30pm there are 261 properties in open violation that will not be cited. It’s clear where
@MetroCodes
priorities are.
I will represent any peaceful protestor that was arrested pro bono, but I am conflicting myself out from representing any person who vandalized or stole anything today, I cannot zealously represent them.
Update to lawyer with 2 years experience that tried First Degree Murder case in Nashville. Guilty as charged deliberations under 2 hours. Came out that attorney visited client 2 times during entirety of case.
#nashvillejustice
Metro Nashville Courthouse parking garage raised rates $30 a month and today gave out a free rose and goo goo cluster to every car. I do not support either of these.
Honestly, if the tax payers were more informed he wouldn't have this problem. I am more in tune with local government then nearly all my friends and I still don't know answers to simple things. EG does it go down after this random year? Why do the rainy day fund this year?
"SELF-INFLICTED DISASTER" ❓ Nashville Mayor John Cooper says if an amendment aiming to repeal Metro's 34% property tax hike is approved, 557 fire and 450-480 police officer positions could be cut.
Just found out I’m going to be a real uncle (as opposed to my friend group’s kids who I am a pretend uncle) congrats to my older brother and sister in law.
@TomiLahren
Or they just could have charged the clearly guilty (of something)cop ASAP. Waiting 4 days is what caused this unrest. Not saying he directly caused the death of Mr. Floyd but he is guilty of a crime and the lack of charging caused this. If he is guilty of murder, tbd
Any chance we can get
@MetroCodes
not to park in a private citizen car charging spots at the courthouse garage and leave it for a week?
@JacobKupin4D19
@hubNashville
It’s not even plugged in and they have 4 designated spots. I’ve requested it be towed. It’s BS

@recidiviz
Frustrating that some people can't understand that earning good credits in prison can help rehabilitation much more than sitting there waiting for your out date with no hope of earning good time or utilizing your time in custody.
And CoreCivic off Harding in Nashville is still not disclosing their numbers despite multiple inmates informing attorneys about a quarantine pod.

@jhollymc
Since I have already paid all of my Federal taxes, isn't this our state legislature allowing those taxes to be allocated to other states who will just accept them? TN taxpayers fund other state education systems.
I can and at the same time cannot believe this is a major headline. There is almost no such thing as newsworthiness anymore. It’s all viewpoint news. Selling dissension has become popular and the norm. Hate X bc of Y and Vice versa.
@ElliottStephenB
I think you could safely say that this is also opposed by prosecutors across the state, as well as criminal defense attorneys, and anyone who has any involvement in the actual criminal justice system and wants violent crime to go down.
Can you close 11th Ave North (Nashville Yards) at the exact same time so we can trap everyone moving in and through the Gulch? I know you will and start the lane closures at 8:30am to really throw everyone off, like you do everyday.
The WB lanes of traffic and one EB lane will be closed tomorrow from 9 AM until 3 PM to complete repairs. Watch for detours and traffic control officers to get through the area.
@JLCastleman
@MNPDNashville
Yes. It was around 14 minutes after the call. Guy was already gone. Had a good description and another guy took a pic with his phone.
Up until one week ago, the elected DA in Memphis was a Republican who was noted to be and ran on being “tough on crime”. So blame her for the 2021 plea deal.
@emilyfor7
I’m just a criminal defense attorney and no political opportunist. From my experience, visitation with clients at Corecovic is immensely more difficult with random different hoops to jump through each time. And the staff are terrible. All

I will believe it when I see active numbers and not some stupid heat map put out by the health department. They have the numbers obviously because they created a heat map. So let's see how many infections are where.

Literally clicked the link and it said 22,000-25,000 died and that the German press was forced to falsely publish 500,000 civilians died. 🤦♂️

Fun fact about Nashville Airbnb code regulation. A house can only advertise 12 guests Max. Here is a 2 minute search on a random weekend for 14 guests with 129 violations. None will get a violation.

One of my favorite opinions ever.
The number of people traveling through
@Fly_Nashville
continues to rise! Now an average of 25,124 departing passengers are going through security each day. That is more than the 2019 pre-pandemic high of an average of 23,543 passengers per day. Make sure you arrive early.

@DavidsonCoDA
I do too. Detective testified to that and was backed up by ADA today. He said they have a separate set of SOPs and aren't subject to the General Orders regular police follow as it relates to body cam and transparency policies.
So what about my business interruption insurance I’ve paid into for 3 years and other restaurant owners who were denied by insurance carriers even though the policy doesn’t exclude viruses. This is a bill to help big insurance and screw small business
I would absolutely support a call for a special session by our governor for this issue and this issue alone. As a matter of fact, Leader
@SenJohnson
and I discussed that very prospect with
@GovBillLee
in his office last night shortly after the legislation was defeated.
Additionally, incarcerated citizens waiting on a trial date to be acquitted has been tough on them and their families. Leading some to plead guilty just to get out of jail.
