NECKNELT

The police term for knelling on a suspect to force compliance. The officer applies their entire body weight onto the suspect using the knee, directly into the neck where it meets the shoulder, in order to stop blood flow to the head. The technique was created by female officer Jessica Vernon, who is a self defense group leader in Los altos ca, where she works as an officer.

Officers apply the dangerous NECKNELT, even when safe alternatives, like using a taser are available. The NECKNELT should be outlawed in CA, just like the chokehold now is.

double-double jeopardy

duplicating a charge under same but difference charges (violation of a restringing order, can also be expressed as contempt of court order). Having one offense of violating the order, being charged under both description and charges doubles a single allegation of a crime that is also double jeopardy. Also re-litigating the case after it was tried in civil court, then in criminal court, both with the same consequence is double jeopardy. Duplicating charges under different names and then re-prosecuting them; becomes a double-double jeopardy; like in-and-outs double-double burger

DA Jeff Rosen is obsessed with Art Master, he's prosecuting Master as double-double jeopardy protections apply. That';s why he is known as the Double-Double DA. If the doubles the charges and both side meet in the middle when negotiating, he is getting defendants basically to agree to all original charges.
