36th District Court launches enhanced complimentary public wireless Internet network
The 36th District Court has enhanced its free public wireless internet network for the benefit of jurors, court employees, the bench, and justice system partners. The enhanced network will allow for connection to the internet to those who have computers, tablets and cell phones capable of receiving wireless signals without the frustration of dropped or weak signals anywhere within the court facility, extending to the courtrooms.
This will enable prospective jurors, attorneys, and other justice system partners to download files for court, access their email, and view the court’s website for immediate access to calendaring, case search, announcements and other convenient online functions offered by the Court from a safe and secure environment.
No password is required to access the WIFI, however, you must accept the terms and conditions of the confirmation/disclaimer in order to utilize this new service. Access will continue to be monitored and logged.
The 36th District Court’s Information Technology Department does not provide technical support for the Wi-Fi system, but requests may be made to open a blocked website when prompted to do so.
Officials said they are confident the new enhanced service will prove beneficial and useful.
Woman says family kept police body camera as evidence
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (AP) — A woman said her family kept a Grand Rapids police officer’s body camera for evidence of unfair treatment after she and three others were arrested at her mother’s 74th birthday party.
Family members said the situation around 10 p.m. Saturday should have ended with a request to turn down music, not arrests, WOOD-TV reported. They said they want charges dropped, but the police department said officers acted properly.
“We went to jail for nothing,” said Eunique Allen, who was charged with a felony for resisting or obstructing an officer. Her mother was cited for holding a disruptive party.
In a statement, police said the “situation deteriorated” as they tried to find out who was responsible for the party, leading to arrests. The department said one of the people involved “became actively resistant” and the officer's body camera was knocked off.
Police said the camera was thrown into another yard before someone took it.
Eunique Allen said she picked up the camera at one point, initially thinking it was her fiancé's cellphone. She said she tried to give it back, throwing it on the ground.
The body camera was later returned to police. The department said it will release a copy of the video and any alleged misconduct will be investigated.
