“Affirmative Defense” - A new fact or set of facts that operates to defeat a claim even if the facts supporting that claim are true.

"Depraved Indifference to Human Life" When a person engages in conduct that poses a grave risk of death. A person has a depraved indifference to human life when that person has an utter disregard for the value of human life – a willingness to act, not because he or she means to cause grievous harm, but because he or she simply does not care whether or not grievous harm will result. In other words, a person who is depravedly indifferent is not just willing to take a grossly unreasonable risk to human life. Instead, that person does not care how the risk turns out.

“Detain” - To prevent from proceeding.

“Necessity” - With respect to an affirmative defense, the act of committing a violation of the penal code because the alternative would create a significant risk of harm to oneself, others, or a situation worse then if the act were committed. Necessity protections do not apply to property (however self-defense may) and do not apply for cases where the acts of the individual created the need for the violations.

“One Party Notification Policy” - So long as one party (either person on the phone, in a facility, or other location where a conversation or event is being recorded) is aware of the situation it is considered a legal recording. Property owners always have full surveillance rights to their property and facilities, parking lots, etc. they maintain.

“Person” - Any living human being or individual.

“Plain View Doctrine” - Legal doctrine that allows an officer to seize without warrant, evidence and contraband that are found in plain view during a lawful observation. For plain view doctrine to apply the officer must be lawful present at the place where the evidence can be plainly viewed, have a lawful right of access to the object, and incriminating character of the object to be “immediately apparent.” The standard of probable cause is used to determine if an object is evidence or contraband.

For example a report of a Blue and White Rumpo Van shooting at another car at a location followed by a peace officer observing an identical van within 500’ and 2 minutes of the event would be reasonable suspicion. On the other hand a report of a blue van committing an offense at a location would not be reasonable suspicion to pull over a blue van 20 minutes and 3 miles away.

“Risk” - The potential danger that threatens to harm or destroy an object, event, or person.

“Self-Defense” - The protection of one's person or property against some injury attempted by another. Generally a person may use reasonable force when it appears reasonably necessary to prevent an impending injury. A person using force in self-defense should use only so much force as is required to repel the attack. Nondeadly force can be used to repel either a nondeadly attack or a deadly attack. Deadly Force may be used to fend off an attacker who is using deadly force but may not be used to repel an attacker who is not using deadly force. Self defense also applies to the defense of others. Self-Defense does not apply in cases where a person has placed his or herself directly in harms way (for example by attacking another person or committing a criminal act against another)

“Substantial Risk” - Means a strong possibility, as contrasted with a remote or even a significant possibility, that a certain result may occur or that a certain circumstance may exist. It is risk of such a nature and degree that to disregard it constitutes a gross deviation from the standard of care that a reasonable person would exercise in such a situation.
