New York City Detectives Question Lack of Autopsy of Justice Scalia in Texas

US Marshals Bypassed The Medical Examiner To Declare a Non Suspicious Death of the Supreme Court Justice Scalia 

Could this case be a motive for the remarkable determination, contrary to law, by a US Marshal, that Scalia's death was not suspicious (See Washington Post), and thus did not require an autopsy? Texas law provides for a medical examiner to make the determination, and few marshals are trained as MEs. See also,

Then again since Justice Scalia was an unimportant man, his death did not create any benefit to anyone. And in any case the current administration is so strictly lawful that it is irrational to even think such a thought. Nothing to see here folks. Move along. This way. To your left.

Sloppy Police Work After Death Of Supreme Court Justice Scalia In Texas

Antonin Scalia

Remarkable how easily police, US marshals make decisions over which they do not have jurisdiction. In this case as in many, law enforcement officers make determinations usually left for the medical examiner. Is that called usurping? But it was only a Justice of the Supreme Court of The United States, not an important person. And under this White House there is never any reason to suspect lawlessness. Ahhh-hem!

[Judge] Guevara told the station that she planned to drive to the ranch but changed her mind when a U.S. marshal told her by phone: “It’s not necessary for you to come, judge. If you’re asking for an autopsy, that’s what we need to clarify.”
Guevara said she asked the Marshals whether there were “any signs of foul play. And they said, ‘Absolutely not,’ ” she told the station. After talking with Scalia’s personal physician, she said, she pronounced him dead and declined to order an inquest.

Massachusetts State Police Capture Fugitive Wanted for Slashing His Cambridge Girlfriend

Arnold Gabbidon, 59

[From article]

The Massachusetts State Police Violent Fugitive Apprehension Section, Cambridge Police and the United States Marshals Service tracked Arnold Gabbidon, 59, to Jamaica, where he was living with a relative.
Gabbidon was arrested in Jamaica on Aug. 3. His extradition was processed and he was flown into Boston on Wednesday night. He will be arraigned in Middlesex County on charges of armed assault with intent to murder, assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, mayhem, threats to commit a crime, armed burglary, stalking, and malicious destruction of property. His arraignment date has not yet been set.
In the early morning of Jan. 14, 1994, Gabbidon — who had been allegedly stalking an ex-girlfriend — broke down the door of the woman’s Cambridge residence, stabbed and slashed her as she slept, leaving her for dead, according to police. The victim was able to call Cambridge Police. She survived the attack, and Gabbidon fled the area.

Suffolk County, MA, US Marshals Capture Fugitve Sought For Two Homicides

[From article]
Carlos Silva, 32, was wanted in a shooting that left one man dead and another paralyzed from the neck down until his death four years later. Silva was tracked down by the Boston police fugitive squad and U.S. Marshals who pulled him over in Cleary Square yesterday. He is charged with first-degree murder in the deaths of Jose Daveiga and Christopher Carvalho, Suffolk District Attorney Daniel F. Conley’s Office said.
Silva was driving one of two cars that followed Daveiga and Carvalho from a Chinatown nightclub into the South End early on April 28, 2003, the DA said. Someone in the car Silva was driving fired at least eight rounds into the victims’ car at about 2:30 a.m. As Daveiga and Carvalho tried to drive away, the second suspect vehicle, driven by Daniel Fernandes, 30, approached and Odair “Power Ranger” Fernandes, 31, fired at least three more shots from it.

Police, FBI, US Marshals Use New Technology To See Through Walls

First Supreme Court of The United States case was US v Kyllo, which declared thermal imaging was an illegal entry, without a warrant. Yet private criminals can use the same technology and police are clueless and unwilling to stop the same illegal entries. Often when victims complain, the police treat them as if they are insane.



[From article]
At least 50 U.S. law enforcement agencies have secretly equipped their officers with radar devices that allow them to effectively peer through the walls of houses to see whether anyone is inside, a practice raising new concerns about the extent of government surveillance.
Those agencies, including the FBI and the U.S. Marshals Service, began deploying the radar systems more than two years ago with little notice to the courts and no public disclosure of when or how they would be used. The technology raises legal and privacy issues because the U.S. Supreme Court has said officers generally cannot use high-tech sensors to tell them about the inside of a person's house without first obtaining a search warrant.
The radars work like finely tuned motion detectors, using radio waves to zero in on movements as slight as human breathing from a distance of more than 50 feet. They can detect whether anyone is inside of a house, where they are and whether they are moving.
[. . .]


"The idea that the government can send signals through the wall of your house to figure out what's inside is problematic," said Christopher Soghoian, the American Civil Liberties Union's principal technologist. "Technologies that allow the police to look inside of a home are among the intrusive tools that police have."
Agents' use of the radars was largely unknown until December, when a federal appeals court in Denver said officers had used one before they entered a house to arrest a man wanted for violating his parole. The judges expressed alarm that agents had used the new technology without a search warrant, warning that "the government's warrantless use of such a powerful tool to search inside homes poses grave Fourth Amendment questions."
By then, however, the technology was hardly new. Federal contract records show the Marshals Service began buying the radars in 2012, and has so far spent at least $180,000 on them.
[. . .]


Other radar devices have far more advanced capabilities, including three-dimensional displays of where people are located inside a building, according to marketing materials from their manufacturers. One is capable of being mounted on a drone. And the Justice Department has funded research to develop systems that can map the interiors of buildings and locate the people within them.
[. . .]
But privacy advocates said they see more immediate questions, including how judges could be surprised by technology that has been in agents' hands for at least two years. "The problem isn't that the police have this. The issue isn't the technology; the issue is always about how you use it and what the safeguards are," said Hanni Fakhoury, a lawyer for the Electronic Frontier Foundation.
The Marshals Service has faced criticism for concealing other surveillance tools. Last year, the ACLU obtained an e-mail from a Sarasota, Fla., police sergeant asking officers from another department not to reveal that they had received information from a cellphone-monitoring tool known as a stingray. "In the past, and at the request of the U.S. Marshals, the investigative means utilized to locate the suspect have not been revealed," he wrote, suggesting that officers instead say they had received help from "a confidential source."

Boston, MA Murder Suspect Captured in Dominican Republic

[From article]
The international manhunt for Perez’s suspected killer, Peter Castillo, 26, of Salem, ended Thursday night when he was arrested by authorities in Santo Domingo after a brief foot chase, U.S. Marshals said.
“Upon arrival, authorities discovered Castillo, with the help of local neighbors, fled the residence and hid in the neighborhood,” the U.S. Marshals Service said in a statement. “After a brief search, authorities located and arrested him at approximately 6:15 p.m.”
Castillo, who was added to the U.S. Marshals 15 Most Wanted fugitive list in October, was wanted for allegedly shooting and killing Perez following an early-morning fight outside a nightclub in Boston’s Theatre District.
Perez, a former Army sniper who had served in Afghanistan, was studying at Bunker Hill Community College and wanted to be a Revere cop. He was shot in the back on Tremont Street just before 2 a.m. The fight that police say triggered the slaying was caught on video.
[. . .]
Castillo was indicted in June 2012 on charges of first-degree murder and unlawful possession of a firearm, Wark said. Also indicted were two co-defendants, Luis Sepelveda, 30, and Janice Hardy, 24, who were both charged with perjury and misleading investigators for allegedly lying to Boston homicide detectives and the Suffolk grand jury during the probe of Perez’s slaying.

US Marshals Join FBI Corruption


This is a national pattern of corruption of local, state and US law enforcement mechanisms. Economic and political interests overrule legal duties, and oaths of office. Elected officials remain silent regarding this problem indicating they are part of the problem. One-party (coalition, bi-partisan) governments breed this kind of corruption. Ordinary citizens in Thailand, Poland even in China defy government abuses. Americans with constitutional protections fear speaking out about abuses. US governments work for criminal organizations. Politicians are puppets for crime families. The FBI and police work with the crime families against taxpayers.
