An investigation is underway of a Los Angeles Police Department officer because his body camera allegedly caught him fondling a dead woman’s body.

The officer and his partner responded to the call of a possible dead body. The officers determined the woman was dead. As one officer went to the patrol car, the accused officer turned off his body-worn camera. Allegedly this is when the accused officer fondled the deceased woman’s breasts.

Even as the camera got turned off before the incident, it was captured by the two-minute buffer on the device.

The case has not been referred to the district attorney’s office yet, as the investigation continues.

The article is set up with describing the situation very brief and focuses more of the article on the investigation and people’s response to the accused officer. It ends the article with a statement of apology to the family of the dead woman.

Many sources and statements were used to express how people feel about the incident. Fondling of dead corpses is not allowed and disgusted upon. It is interesting that they kept the accused officers name of this article. Either way people will know who done it. Overall, interesting topic.

Daniel Czerepak, 29, was arrested under the charges of forgery, theft and weapons by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey. He was trying to gain access to a restricted entrance of the George Washington Bridge as mentioned on CNN.com

The bridge connects New Jersey to Manhattan Island and Czerepak tried to gain access to the bridge by using a fake ID and posing as a Port Authority subcontractor.

A search was made on Czerepak’s home and five 30-round rifle magazines and one 15-round magazine was found. New Jersey law limits to 10 rounds of ammunition for the magazine capacity.

Czerepak pleaded not guilty to the third-degree weapons offenses and other related charges as found on northjersey.com

Police were called when Czerepak’s fake ID was recognized at the guarded access point on the bridge. This led to the search of his car and home and the founded ammunition.

The story’s lead was good as it gave a enough information as what is going on and made me curious enough to read more. The organization of the story starts with the arrest and the finding of magazine rounds. It moves on to the charges and his plead.

Clearly, CNN tried to find more information about the man and who he is but didn’t get as much, so they filled the next paragraphs with quotes. And then they finish off the story on how what went down that day when Czerepak showed up on that bridge.

I think I would of talked about what went down right away and then included the back story towards the end. Just to get the important information of what Czerepak was doing that day and how it went down to his arrest.

Eight cannabis consumption licenses were created in West Hollywood and Lowell Farms was the first to be granted the license out of 300 applicants.

Andrea Drummer is the head chef of Lowell Farms and has been trained at Le Cordon Bleu in Los Angeles. She is known for creating THC- and CBD- infused cuisine.

Guest will be able to smoke marijuana at the café in its many forms. There will be both, a smoking and non-smoking patio. The entire indoor space is designated smoking area.

The story includes quotes from the head chef and spokeswoman of Lowell Farms. The article uses exact quotes and paraphrasing. The head chef provided a back story to her expertise and training and what they would serve. The spokeswoman shared the exciting things to come for the restaurant and how it will be a welcoming place for those into cannabis. Both of the quotes give a positive outlook towards the upcoming business and more for the future.

The Federal Trade Commission sued Match Group, an online dating giant, for using fake love interest ads on Match.com in which allegedly entices people to pay for their services.

Non-subscribers had a higher risk of seeing messages from potentially fraudulent accounts than the paying customers of Match.com. This would encourage the non-subscribers to sign up for paid accounts because of the increased interest ads as claimed by the FTC.

Once the customers signed up, a “fraudulent communication” or interested profile is “unavailable” depending on the fraud review process.

Andrew Smith, Director of the FTC’s Bureau of Consumer Protection, stated on the con and pointing out that the services from dating websites shouldn’t be using the scams to make money.

The CEO Hesam Hosseini responded on this issue in a worded email that can be summarized into him stating the irrelevancy of the FTC claim.

Other FTC related allegations have been brought up, but as of currently the alleged deceptive business practices they questioned ceased by mid-2019.

Overall, this article used good quotes and paraphrasing. The obvious quote is from the Director of the FTC’s Bureau of Consumer Protection, where they included what he said, and split it up so maybe we got the most important sentences. Another quote is from an email by the CEO of Match. They used the CEO’s words in relation to how he thinks this isn’t an issue and that Match is doing a fine and not creating fraudulent actions.
