The legislature has officially passed Nancy's Law to establish an independent oversight committee. I am deeply appreciative of your commitment to securing accountability and justice throughout this process.

Started by Admin AlaskaJustice 12 years, 7 months ago

AlaskaJustice (www.alaskajustice.net) was created to bring justice to Nancy Means (and others) who was falsely accused and arrested for a DUI. Nancy was arrested for a DUI after she refused to give an APD (Anchorage Police Department) Officer her phone number. After, arriving at the Police Station and passing the Breathalyzer Test with a 0.000 test result, a charge still remains on her record. Nancy tried every way possible to esponge this charge internally from her record. When the Municipality refused to assist her, she was forced to sue the Municipality. Nancy is a college student and hopes to attend a competitive graduate school. If she is not granted the justice she deserves from the Municipality, this unfounded charge will continue to prohibit Nancy from being competitive with other college students and will further damage her occupational pursuits.

http://www.alaskasenate.org/senate/press/news/mcguire-nancy-law-police-standards-council


The purpose for this petition is to pass a bill called "Nancy's Law," to reestablish an objective Police Oversight Committee. This Committee will regulate and investigate citizen's reports of police misconduct, while retaining the right to suspend and revoke an officer's certification. This revised addition to the Alaska Police Standards Council will serve Law Enforcement Agents and Citizens alike.

I was there when all of this happened. Nancy was not intoxicated in any way shape or form. Or else I would not have been in the vehicle with her. The cop just went on a power trip, because she stood up for her rights. Police officers are supposed to protect citizens, not abuse them.

This behavior is untenable. No citizen should have to endure wrongful charges by the police. Assuming this Committee takes its obligations seriously, it could be beneficial to both civiliand AND officers, and its implementation makes sense.

Totally unfair. And APD wonders why nobody is stepping forward to give tips about the Jason Allen shooting?

At 0.000 there should have never been a charge in the first place. What happened here is a cop was rebuffed by a pretty girl and he tried to go "Anthony Rollins".
