THE VOICE OF REASON Solon, (born c. 630 BCE—died c. 560 BCE), Athenian statesman, known as one of the Seven Wise Men of Greece (the others were Chilon of Sparta, Thales of Miletus, Bias of Priene, Cleobulus of Lindos, Pittacus of Mytilene, and Periander of Corinth). Solon ended exclusive aristocratic control of the government, substituted a system of control by the wealthy, and introduced a new and more humane law code. He was also a noted poet.

If you are not a moral and religious people worthy of your constitutional republic, what should you do?
The primary difference is that **sheriffs** are typically **elected county officials** with jurisdiction over entire counties (including unincorporated areas and rural zones), while **police officers** are **appointed city employees** with jurisdiction limited to specific municipal boundaries.### Key Distinctions* **Selection and Authority**: Sheriffs are **elected by voters** and serve as the chief law enforcement officer for the county, whereas police chiefs are **appointed** by mayors or city councils, and their officers are hired employees.* **Jurisdiction**: Sheriff’s deputies patrol **county-wide** areas, including regions without their own police force, while police officers focus on **city limits** and urban neighborhoods.* **Additional Duties**: Sheriffs often manage **county jails**, provide **court security**, and serve **civil documents** (warrants, evictions), duties that police departments generally do not handle.* **Specialization**: Police departments tend to have more **specialized units** (e.g., narcotics, homicide) due to concentrated urban staffing, while sheriffs often cover broader geographic areas with less specialization.In practice, **police** handle day-to-day patrol and crime response in cities, while **sheriffs** handle jail operations, court services, and law enforcement in rural or unincorporated county areas.

1:16:00 Do US circuit judges go on a circuit?
**No, not anymore.** The name is a historical holdover.Under the **Judiciary Act of 1789**, the original circuit courts had no dedicated judges of their own — instead, **Supreme Court Justices** were required to "ride circuit," physically traveling (by horseback, carriage, or canal boat) to multiple districts within their assigned circuit to preside over trials. Some justices covered over 2,000 miles per year and spent up to six months on the road. Two Justices actually resigned in the 1790s over the hardship.The practice evolved over time:- **1869** – The Circuit Judges Act created dedicated **circuit judges** who sat in a fixed location within their circuit, easing the burden on Supreme Court Justices (though they still had to ride circuit once every two years).- **1891** – The **Judiciary Act of 1891** created the modern **U.S. Courts of Appeals**, which took over most appellate work. Circuit riding by Supreme Court Justices was finally abolished.- **1911** – The old circuit courts were formally abolished.Today, U.S. circuit judges (i.e., judges on the **Courts of Appeals**) are **stationed in a fixed city** within their circuit and do not travel around the circuit on a regular basis. The "circuit" is now simply an **administrative grouping** of states for appellate jurisdiction.

Islam gets you most reliably to heaven with the most legal rights in this life - @HelpfulAhmadi
- Admission of guilt: The defendant must personally admit to the additional offences, typically after being cautioned and interviewed under the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984 (PACE). [1, 2]
- TIC schedule: The police and prosecution prepare a formal schedule of the admitted offences (detailing dates, nature, and monetary values) which is provided to the defendant and the court. [1]
- Court decision: The judge or magistrates decide in open court whether it is appropriate to accept and take the TICs into account during sentencing. [1, 2]
- Similarity: TICs are generally expected to be of a similar nature and lesser or equal seriousness to the main charged offence. [1, 2]
- No separate trial: An offence should not be made a TIC if the public interest requires a separate prosecution, if it carries a mandatory disqualification that the main offence does not, or if it would exceed the court's jurisdiction (such as pushing a magistrates' court case beyond its powers). [1, 2]
- Sentence impact: While taking TICs into account usually increases the overall sentence compared to the main charge alone, the total penalty is typically lower than if every offence had been prosecuted and tried separately. [1, 2]
- Clean slate: Dealing with offences via TICs allows the offender to clear their record of those specific acts, though the police retain the record for intelligence and future character references. [1, 2]
- Improves administrative efficiency: It saves significant time and money by avoiding multiple, separate court trials for a series of connected or similar minor crimes.
- Improves crime clearance rates: It allows the police to officially close a high volume of unresolved cases (such as strings of burglaries or vehicle thefts) that might otherwise remain unsolved on their books.
- Provides closure for victims: It ensures that victims of unprosecuted crimes receive an official acknowledgement that the offence occurred and was admitted, which can also help them secure insurance payouts or criminal injuries compensation.
- Offers a "clean slate": It allows an offender to admit to all past undetected crimes in one go, ensuring they will not be re-arrested or prosecuted for those specific offences upon their release from prison.
- Results in a lower overall sentence: While TICs can slightly increase the severity of the sentence for the main charge, the total penalty is almost always significantly lower than if the offender faced separate consecutive sentences for every single crime.
Are US voters a moral and religious people preferring an ethical foreign policy to realpolitik?
