Good morning, Seattle's Public Safety commitee meeting has just begun, and there are over 100 people signed up for public comment. A reminder, today is the second discussion of the proposed SODA/SOAP legislation adding exclusion zones to many neighborhoods in the city.

Remember my first big gun-rights rally in Olympia where a speaker called for the legalization of bazookas. Getting closer.

ICYMI: I wrote last week on this July 9 email that Sue Rahr sent out, which took a different tack than her previous public comments that had blamed this law for hindering the Garfield shooting investigation axios.com/local/seattle/2024…
Another good reminder that police leaders are not, in fact, trained to practice the law.
This was too in the weeds for my story last week, but I'm 99% sure that interim SPD Chief Sue Rahr's email clarifying that police can, in fact, interview juvenile witnesses without a lawyer appears to get the law wrong on juvenile searches.
ALT A copy of an excerpt of an email from Seattle Police Department Interim Chief Sue Rahr says: "During my roll call visits I have heard repeatedly that officers believe they cannot question juveniles without an attorney present. That is not accurate. Under federal law, state law, local law, and SPD policy, officers are not required to provide access to counsel before questioning juveniles when: (1) the juvenile is a victim or witness and not suspected of criminal involvement, or 2) there is insufficient PC to hold them in custody. In both circumstances, an officer may lawfully and per policy: -question a juvenile -search property with consent, such as reviewing photos on a phone -discuss matters unless/until PC is developed. *Once PC is developed, questioning must end.

I wasn’t able to say much earlier this week about the passing of @mattsdriscoll because I was still in shock and grieving. But there are a few things I want people to know about him.
Gutted. The world has lost a legendary newsman.
Tacoma still has the Rainiers and the Narrows Bridge, but our City of Destiny has a hole in our hearts at the loss of Matt Driscoll. What a big heart and an insightful pen he gave us. I miss him already.

At least 40 Washington agencies are using Flock Safety. Everett PD recently announced plans to get 74 license plate cameras and 3 tilt-zoom cameras for "situational awareness" in city parks.
My story on Everett isn't online but here's @EverettHerald heraldnet.com/news/controver…
