I didn’t know any of these two men … but I live in the city of Las Vegas, Nevada and I along with hundreds of thousands mourn the loss of officer Manor.

I also have a bit of sympathy for the other man involved in the crash. (Wait before some of you become angry)

Sheriff Doug Gillespie said Manor was traveling east on Flamingo Road at 109 mph just before the collision, which occurred at 1:49 a.m. on May 7.

No lights, sirens or anything to warn others he was headed their way.

The article says the other driver showed he had a .035 and a .02 blood-alcohol level – (below the legal limit of .08.) He was arrested for dui at the time of the crash.

Darling was turning his red pickup truck left from Flamingo Road when the collision occurred.

My question is this :

If you’re driving at a very high rate of speed with no lights, siren or anything that tells anyone that you’re headed their way … Is it possible that officer Manor contributed to his death by travelling at the speed he was?

I’m not blaming anyone … least of all the dead man … But if he was driving at a much safer speed and with some form of warning … it’s very possible he would have been able to respond to the other drivers turning into his path and possibly avoid the accident.

and –

If he was driving at a reduced speed maybe the other driver might have noticed him?

No disrespect intended so please don’t fly off the handle. I just want others opinions. That’s why were here on Yahoo Answers. (smiling)

Thanks and thumbs up to all who answer! Just give me time to get back and read the answers.

According to this new article the driver involved with officer Manor wasn’t drunk at the time.
Thank you for your answers!
Harold : I appreciate your answer sir. I’m truly sorry for you losing your friends. I’m trying to see if officer Manor was partly responsible for this tragic set of circumstances. He was speeding (109 mph) with no lights and siren and it was 1:49 a.m. in the city. This area which I’m familiar with isn’t exactly the brightest part of Las Vegas. Police cruisers are tremendously powerful and fast and is it possible that at his speed with it being dark could the accident partly be his responsibility? Once again I’m very sorry for the death of your friends.

Thank you.

Harold : I did a search on the names of your friends. A truly sad event in the lives of their families and friends. Thank you for sharing their story.

Las Vegas DUI Attorney

  By admin | 28 stycznia 2011 - | Legal Komentarze są wyłączone


In the city of Las Vegas, Nevada as in other major cities across the United States the allowable blood alcohol concentraction (BAC) for DUI is below .08%. Meaning, if your BAC is .08% or greater you will be charged with suspicion of driving under the influence or DUI. If you are facing this situation I would strongly suggest you retain a qualified Las Vegas DUI attorney to represent you. Do not attempt this alone.

In this instance your drivers license will be confiscated by the Las Vegas police officer who makes the arrest and you will be issued a paper drivers license normally valid for a period of 7 days. Either you or your Las Vegas DUI attorney will need to schedule a hearing to contest the suspension of the hearing.

The paper drivers license is pink in color and has instructions on it for you to contest the suspension of your driving privileges with the Nevada DMV. If you request the hearing before the deadline stated on the temporary pink drivers license the Nevada DMV will issue a temporary drivers license for you.

At the hearing if they determine that you did operate a motor vehicle with a BAC of .08% or greater they will suspend your drivers license for a period of 90 days for a 1st offense. A Las Vegas DUI attorney should be able to get you a restricted drivers license after 45 days that will allow you to drive to, from and during the course of employment. This should enable you to continue working.

What you are subject to with the Nevada DMV is what is known as the ‘per se’ law which means that the DMV is not concerned with whether or not your driving was impaired but more focused on whether or not your blood alcohol level was .08% or greater. Again, a good Las Vegas DUI Attorney will be able to contest this with the DMV as well as fight your criminal case in the Las Vegas court system.

My friend got a DUI in Nevada approximately 3 months ago. He went to court?

football4life47 asked:


He went to court and the deputy that arrested him did not show up for court. The district attorney told his lawyer they are going to dismiss the case and can re file one time if they choose. Is there a chance the district attorney will not re file the charges? (This is his first ever criminal case including traffic tickets or anything). Thank you.

Probation Violation in Las Vegas ?

  By admin | 3 października 2010 - | Law Enforcement & Police 2 Comments
Beth asked:


I read up on the laws concerning Probation violations in Las Vegas. However, I am being told different things from different people.

I was told that my friend already had an arraignment for her DUI from the PO’s supervisor.
I was told there is no arraignment for a probation violation.
I was told that Parole and Probation take their time in scheduling a court date.
I was told that Parole and Probation has up to 45 days to schedule a court date (I guess from the arrest date-not the date of the incident).

I was told that it could take up to 60 or 90 days to schedule a court date.
I callrd the detention center and they say it’s up to Parole and Probation to schedule a court date.
I called to Parole and Probation and they say it’s up to the court to schedule a court date.
What should I believe? I have no clue how long this will take. My stomach is in knots.

She has a lawyer and I was told that they are trying to get her counselling since she was paying all of her monthly fines, she was working full time with a good job, she was taking care of her family and she was going to all of her PO meetings back in the summer of this year. (They PO meetings only lasted about 13 weeks). I was told that she was doing really good (which I already knew).

Also I have a few other questions.
I was told that people in CCDC can not make collect calls out of state. I am in Southern California. Can they only make collect calls to Nevada? I wrote her a letter informing her that she can call me collect.

Is there any difference from the 1st floor to the 4th floor? I mean are certian kind of inmates on floor 1 and others are on floor 2, etc? She is on the 4th floor. I do not even know if she has a cell mate or not.

What is the best that I can expect in time wise for a court date so I can go. (I was told from the PO that I can go if I wanted to). I am hoping for a time before Christmas.

Thank you

Oh also. Not sure if her plea was guilty or innocent on the DUI charge. I was told that that plea would impact her stay in CCDC. Appeartly, they process the new charges first then take care of the probation.
I use www.accessclarkcounty.com almost everyday! I love that site!

The other two web pages are either AOL webpages or they just do not work or the server is not working. I do not know. I don’t use AOL.

I am planning on using this Bail bonds for my friend’s DUI arrest, and I was wondering if this is a good Bail bonds place? It’s not a fraud right?

I looked on Dexknows.com and called the number he had posted, but when I checked out the website, there was a completely different number. It had a different area code too. The number I called was 866. The number on the website was 877. Is this normal?
