✓ \First, the Con Edison has failed to prove that Butler’s non-criminal consumption of a legal substance rose to the level of abuse or that Butler’s consumption of alcohol adversely affected his job performance or the public’s trust (whatever that is). Moreover, the only consequence of off-duty chemical substance abuse is that the employee will be sent for a JFE. Here, Butler was sent for a JFE on December 16, 2014 tested negative for drugs and alcohol. ✓ On December 13, 2014, Butler was purported observed by Officer Brito moving from the driver’s seat to the passenger seat a couple of hundred yards from the DWI checkpoint. Officer Brito did not testify that Butler was driving erratically or displayed other indicia of someone that was driving while impaired. The Union concedes that Officer Brito’s assumption that Butler’s actions were to avoid being identified as either a driver who had been drinking or a driver who might not have had a valid license is reasonable. It is also reasonable for Officer Brito to assume that if he could see Butler then Butler could see him. That assumption is not reasonable. ✓ Officer Brito also demonstrated his expertise and training in many facets of alcohol and drug testing but the only verified test result was the breathalyzer results. This is important because clearly Brito had an animus against Butler. Brito testified that Butler was quietly being difficult and when Brito was asked why he issued Butler a summons for refusing to test AFTER he submitted to a breathalyzer test Brito testified that Butler was walking out of the police station with a summons regardless. Butler was issued a summons that was so patently meritless that the Westchester District Attorney’s office did not even submit opposition to Butler’s motion to dismiss. (Union Exhibit “2“) ✓ The Union submits that Brito’s testimony is troubling. A police officer charged with upholding the law and who described himself as an expert in the observation of behavior under the influence of drugs and alcohol and who is also charged with knowledge of the NYS Vehicle and Traffic Law issued a summons that (based on his expertise) he had to know was invalid Brito practically admitted that since Butler gave him a hard time and wasted his time that night (because he did not engage in criminal conduct), he was going to give Butler a hard time. That hard time translated into the issuance of an invalid summons that forced Butler to retain counsel and utterly wasted the time of the Court that dismissed the summons that the Westchester County determined unworthy of opposition.

We need to encourage better zoning to create mixed-use walkable neighborhoods with efficient public transport. Reducing traffic is the best way to reduce traffic deaths. Building roads ALWAYS increases traffic. The problem with American cities is that in 75% of the country (by area) it is ILLEGAL to build anything but single-family homes.

First of all, tinted windows are simply not necessary on cars & trucks, save security vehicles & transports. Having tinted windows just enables motorists the opportunity to possibly engage in clandestine behavior. In parking lots, when next to a vehicle with tinted windows and trying to back out, it's makes safely seeing oncoming traffic more of a challenge. Tinted windows are especially hazardous for law enforcement, especially when they approach a vehicle during an investigation. A Police Officer should be able to CLEARLY inside a vehicle. Bottomline, they should be illegal. If people are caught with them, they should be required by law to replace the glass at their own expense and pay a hefty fine, if they obtain them after the law enacted.

Where is the bipartisan bill for nationwide video ticketing?? they did if for seatbelts years ago, why not video ticketing. It would bring the roads under control in no time and wouldn't cost a dime, it would make money. but ooooohhhhh no, no politician wouldn't dare vote for it, it would be political sui side. meanwhile our roads are ruled by vehicular criminals and thugs. it's not your constitutional right to break the law on the roads.
