Small Iowa Driver's Rights Cards Make BIG Impact On OWI Stops

It's the talk amongst Iowa police - people are invoking their rights with a card!

2011-05-13

DES MOINES, IA, May 13, 2011 (Press-News.org) The Iowa Driver's Rights Cards are small, but they are making a BIG impact on a person's preservation and protection of their Constitutional and Statutory Rights, the evidence obtained during an investigation and the final outcome if charges are filed.

What are Iowa Driver's Rights Cards? The Iowa Driver's Rights Cards, developed by the attorneys at Gourley, Rehkemper & Lindholm, PLC (GRL Law) of Des Moines, Iowa, are two cards: one card for your key chain with GRL's 24x7 telephone number on it, and the other card to hand to a police officer investigating you as a suspect to criminal activity or during a stop for suspicion of driving while intoxicated.

The Driver's Rights Card that you hand to the police officer is a printed invocation of your Constitutional and Statutory Rights. It informs the police officer that you 1) wish to speak with an attorney immediately, 2) do not agree to be questioned without your attorney present, 3) do not agree to a search of your person, property or affects, and 4) wish to leave if you are free to do so.

"When people are in a situation involving police, they feel intimidated and often forget to invoke their rights. They also try to explain their way out of the situation. The explanations often times get them into more hot water than if they just handed the police officer the 'Rights Card'," Attorney Robert (Bobby) Rehkemper explained. "It isn't a 'Get Out Of Jail Free' Card, nor does it intend to aid or encourage criminal activity or drunk driving. It won't guarantee you that you aren't arrested or charged with a crime. But it will help you if you are in a situation with law enforcement officers."

The Driver's Rights Card is free. You can request your Driver's Rights Card online at IowaOWIDefenders.com/DriversRightsCard, or call GRL's office at 1-888-278-1027.

Elevated protein levels in cardiac muscles could predict mortality following angioplasty

2011-05-13

New research shows that elevated levels of cardiac troponin T (cTnT) or I (cTnI) in patients who had angioplasty indicate a higher risk of all-cause mortality and long-term adverse events such as heart attack. Routine monitoring of these protein levels following nonemergent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) could improve long-term outcomes for these patients. Details of the analysis are available online in Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, a peer-reviewed journal of The Society for Cardiovascular Angiography and Interventions (SCAI). More than ...

Doctors' decisions on initial hospital admissions may affect readmission rates

2011-05-13

Researchers compared hospitalization rates and rehospitalization rates of patients admitted for heart attack and for heart failure. Heart attack admissions are considered non-discretionary, whereas, heart failure admissions are considered more discretionary. Hospitalization after heart attack is mandated in treatment guidelines, so physicians have little or no room for discretionary decisions. Researchers examined Medicare claims data in 306 regions between 2007 and 2009. The results showed no relationship between heart attack hospitalization rates and readmission rates. ...

Study finds pigs susceptible to virulent ebolavirus can transmit the virus to other animals

2011-05-13

[EMBARGOED FOR MAY 13, 2011] Canadian investigators have shown that a species of ebolavirus from Zaire that is highly virulent in humans can replicate in pigs, cause disease, and be transmitted to animals previously unexposed to the virus. The findings are published in The Journal of Infectious Diseases and are now available online. (Please see below for a link to the embargoed study online.) In order to prevent human outbreaks of Ebola hemorrhagic fever, it is important to identify animal species that replicate and transmit the virus to other animals and, potentially, ...

Be specific: Perceived media bias can lead to political action

2011-05-13

Politicians should be careful when they rail against mainstream news media. A study from North Carolina State University shows that perceived bias of media outlets can lead to increased political engagement – but only on specific issues. When there is a general perception of bias in the news media it actually results in increased apathy among citizens. "With this study, we wanted to see whether people's perception of media bias affected their political participation, beyond voting," says Dr. Andrew Binder, an assistant professor of communication at NC State and co-author ...

A giant interneuron for sparse coding

2011-05-13

The brain is a coding machine: it translates physical inputs from the world into visual, olfactory, auditory, tactile perceptions via the mysterious language of its nerve cells and the networks which they form. Neural codes could in principle take many forms, but in regions forming bottlenecks for information flow (e.g., the optic nerve) or in areas important for memory, sparse codes are highly desirable. Scientists at the Max Planck Institute for Brain Research in Frankfurt have now discovered a single neuron in the brain of locusts that enables the adaptive regulation ...

Livestock also suffer traffic accidents during transport

2011-05-13

A Spanish study has analysed traffic accidents involving cattle being transported for human consumption in the country for the first time. Despite the "relatively" low mortality rate, animals suffer high-risk situations that cause pain and stress. The scientists say that specific protocols for action are needed with regard to these accidents, and to prepare the emergency services to deal with them. Most of the 86 lorry accidents identified from 2000 to 2009 in Spain involved the transportation of pigs (57%), followed by cattle (30%), chickens (8%), and sheep (5%). Despite ...

Sensors that can stretch

2011-05-13

This release is available in German. The car is racing far too fast toward the tail end of a traffic jam – a crash is inevitable. The inflated airbag can protect the car's occupants. But if the person in the passenger seat is leaning too far forward, perhaps looking for something in a bag in the foot space, the force of the airbag can cause injury. Researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Silicate Research ISC in Würzburg have now developed sensors that can help prevent such scenarios. These sensors can be integrated into the car seat, for example, where they ...
