The poll is a little skewed. There should be an answer that just says no, a car is more convenient without attaching the "dangerous" factor. View Comment

Maybe a mayor who can work with both parties in a bipartisan effort to accomplish the greater good for Norwalk wouldn't be such a bad thing. View Comment

The shift commander sets the bond. Later in the day the bail commissioner, a state employee reviews the bail an adjusts it before the suspect ever gets to court. The bail commissioner evaluates all the particulars about the suspect and uses a formula to make sure bails are consistently set. View Comment

I am not sure why there was the need to involve the father in this story. Te arrestee is an adult and not the responsibility of his father. He made his own decisions as an adult. Secondly, bond is only to guarantee the person will show up at trial. If the person is not a flight risk, the bond should be low. With his parents signifying that they will support him and his bein a lifetime local, the risk of him fleeing before trial is low, and a Bon should be set accordingly. View Comment

Actually most law enforcement officers are against this ban. It is supported by many chiefs and administrators, but most rank and file officers have personally owned weapons and magazines that would be affected by these laws. Ask your local patrolman what he thinks. View Comment

There is a national do not call registry. Can't they simply register for that rather than make it a political show? View Comment

If I was suspended without pay and list my house and had my car repossessed because I couldn't pay my bills and was later exonerated, it would be like hitting the lottery. That's why the person is suspended with pay until they can prove guilt. View Comment

Great article......who was arrested? View Comment

At least te BOE admitted their mistake and took correction. Many would not have the integrity to do so. View Comment

A better concept may be a toll system that exempts cars registered in CT. Out of state vehicles would be charged while in state vehicles would not. View Comment

Could probably save even more lives by limiting criminals to one felony per month. Or limit prosecutors to one plea bargain per month View Comment

Repeal the 1st amendment too View Comment

I believe Rosa Murray, BOE member serving on the search committee is a member of the local NAACP branch View Comment

Lets see how much time the criminals who stole the guns get for te burglary and illegal possession of a firearm. From my knowledge, if thy don't use those guns to shoot someone they will get less than 3 years. That is the problem. Gun laws we have are not fully enforced. If they actually had to serve a full 20 years, they would be less likely to steal them View Comment

Interesting. I thought gun transfers in the state were all registered for at least the past 10 years. The way my father explained the difference between a gun and a car was that the gun was a right afforded to all at birth protected by the constitution. The right to drive a car on the highway was a privilege not given at birth under the constitution so you had to get governmental permission through a test. View Comment

Tim, The US Marshals are used by all local agencies now to track fugitives. They have the ability to find someone by following signals to thee cell phones. Local agencies are not allowed to have that technology by federal law. The police dept completes their investigation and if they have solved the crime and identified the perpetrator to the satisfaction of the prosecutor, a warrant is issued. I the person is hiding outside of the local jurisdiction, a federal agency, usually the marshals or FBI, is contacted and they can easily find the suspects location, sometimes to within feet. They have nationwide jurisdiction, so they grab the person. That is why you always think The US Marshal Service solves Norwalk crimes. View Comment

I think it was stated that it was true in Norwalk that these incidents have dropped as well as across the state. Norwalk police would not have these stats as many of he incidents do not require police involvement. Many of the "violent" incidents include teenage fights that would be handled without police. Sexual related incidents are not necessarily crimes. It may be consensual acts between students that is a violation of school policy and not law. I would have been interested to see more comparisons to schools in Cities of similar size and per capita rates. Simply comparing to Danbury gives an idea that Norwalk is average. We need to see what the numbers are like in Stamford, Bridgeport, Waterbury, etc. in order to make a fair comparison View Comment

Hope Tim T has a good alibi View Comment
