The police said they had quickly arrested the man, Robert Homer, and found a loaded Glock pistol in his pocket. That made him ineligible for a gun license under federal law. The case is now in jeopardy after a federal judge in Brooklyn ruled on Feb. 5 that the police did not have probable cause to stop Mr. Homer. The case involving Mr. Homer is the latest test of gun laws in the state, where officials continue to grapple with how to square a legacy of strong gun control with the 2022 ruling. The judge in the state case, Abraham Clott, said he disagreed with the federal judge’s conclusion.

Sursa foto: ProfimediaActrița Allison Mack, din „Smallville”, condamnată la închisoare pentru apartenenţa la o organizaţie de sclave sexualeActrița Allison Mack, cunoscută din serialul „Smallville”, a fost condamnată la trei ani de închisoare pentru apartenenţa sa la secta DOS, o organizaţie piramidală de sclave sexuale iniţiată de aşa-numitul guru al dezvoltării personale Keith Raniere. Actrița a primit o pedeapsă redusă după ce a colaborat cu autorităţile. Acuzarea a recomandat o pedeapsă cu o durată inferioară celei prevăzute de lege - între 14 şi 17 ani şi jumătate de închisoare - având în vedere colaborarea actriţei cu autorităţile pe durata anchetei. Allison Mack (38 de ani) a furnizat echipei procurorului federal din Brooklyn informaţii preţioase vizând mecanismul de funcţionare a DOS, precum şi asupra acţiunilor lui Keith Raniere. Înregistrarea, prezentată în timpul procesului, dovedeşte că ceremonia de însemnare a fost ideea lui Keith Raniere, lucru pe care liderul sectei l-a negat până acum.
