“End the Slavery”: Sakuma Brothers Farms Workers of Familias Unidas por la Justicia March for a Labor Contract and Against Exploitation and Abuse: Burlington, Washington, Saturday, July 11, 2015.
В эту пятницу легендарные шотландские панки The Exploited выступили в московском клубе Yotaspace. Непрерывный угар, слэм, серкл-пит, пьяный дебош, ад, мош на танцполе вот так отметили старые панки 35-летие альбома «Punks Not Dead». Название дебютного альбома "Punk’s Not Dead" стало чуть ли не девизом всех панков мира.
The frequent exploitation of citizens’ rights, by news media, within our information - hungry society has perpetuated an ethical debate surrounding the issue of due process versus the freedom of the press. Jim Ruiz and D.F Treadwell draw attention to this matter in their article The Perp Walk: Due Process v. Freedom of the Press by considering natural ethical imbalances arising from the infamous Perp Walk. I will argue in favor of the Perp Walk, but only under certain conditions which address ethical considerations raised by Ruiz and D.F Treadwell. In doing so, an attempt will be made to provide a fresh solution to a seemingly stagnant predicament.
Firstly, I will need to set the stage contextually in order to arrive at a solution which provides community awareness, while minimizing the ethical shortcomings involved in the Perp Walk. I will start by briefly examining the Perp Walk’s evolution, leading up to our current understanding of it, and then describe the various ethical considerations which need to be addressed according to Jim Ruiz and D.F Treadwell. Finally, I will provide a feasible solution to these considerations by introducing an alternative version of the modern-day Perp Walk which will better satisfy these ethical issues. Thus, in the formulation of this new process I will be attempting to satisfy our societal demands for information, specifically crime news, whilst protecting the rights of the accused. Ideally, this will foster ethical progress and align the Perp Walk with our evolving technological capabilities in communications.
The Perp Walk has been a tradition in human history for a significant period of time. It is not only a hallmark of human history, but references to it as a ritual can be found in both biblical and mythological contexts as well. Generally, it has been considered a source of enlightenment for society allowing the observing populous to position themselves respectively. Historically it has played an important role in satisfying our growing demand to consume news information, particularly criminal news information, regardless of its location and direct relevancy to the consuming population. In this regard it brings communities closer together by creating an environment for shared experiences of what are commonly very intimate human interactions. Unfortunately, the Perp Walk only scratches the surface of important social issues by focusing on catchy headlines and complimentary visuals (intended for instant viewer gratification). This perpetuates an extremely shortsighted approach to fairness as, in the case of the Perp Walk, imagery of guilt precludes the transpiration of a fair and just trail, and thus infringes on the mandatory due process of our democratic society.
The imagery involved in a Perp Walk is very powerful and has ties to many widely - held belief systems including Christianity and has thus helped shape our current social landscape. The most well-known example of this is the exile of Adam and Eve, when they are cast from the Garden of Eden for having consumed the forbidden fruit. While exiting the garden, they are escorted by a sword - wielding angel whom possesses similar visual and status qualities to that of a modern - day law enforcer partaking in a Perp Walk. The important implication here is that in the absence of a comprehensive conclusion, the only indication of right or wrongness is the imagery of guilt evoked by the act of the Perp Walk. In essence, the deciding factors of good and evil, right and wrong are not to be found within the action of consuming the fruit but rather the shame and humiliation brought about in the role they occupied during the Perp Walk. In the absence of a projection inducing Perp Walk it would have been rational for Adam and Eve, to assume they had become empowered by the forbidden fruit. So rather than being exiled they would have merely initiated a cycle of consuming and outgrowing imposed boundaries. This cause and effect proposition applies to all examples of the Perp Walk whereby the media focuses on the imagery of guilt preceding the occurrence of a fair trial. Currently, the Perp Walk serves the function of satisfying societal demands by providing imagery to coexist with and enhance entertaining crime news, rather than upholding the freedom and justice of a democratic justice system. Through the public shaming and over- exaggeration which is more often than not associated with the Perp Walk, the accused are in turn used as devices to achieve increased viewership for the news sources which utilize this imagery. This is contrary to objectively presenting the current state of proceedings in cases where charges are being heard.
Now that the Perp Walk has been established as a relevant event in our democratic society I shall highlight the important ethical considerations pertaining directly to the modern Perp Walk as proposed by Jim Ruiz and D.F Treadwell. I shall start by explicating the four directly - involved parties in the Perp Walk process and present their respective positions of relevancy, and in doing so raise some important ethical questions which will later be addressed in the proposition of a hypothetical Perp Walk supplementary process. In order, the four parties to be reviewed include law enforcement agencies, news media, the public and the accused.
Law enforcement agencies essentially stage Perp Walks as a means to satisfying news media demands (for news they believe will be of interest to the public) whilst reinforcing a positive public perception via frequent displays of success. They generally rely on the news media in order to demonstrate their effectiveness to the public in order to obtain or maintain sufficient funding via ensuring well spent tax dollars. Thus law enforcement agencies have become dependent on the news media in order provide an effective service. The main question derived from this unique set of circumstances is: Do law enforcement agencies staging Perp Walks sufficiently justify this practice? I would argue that they do not. Rather they subject the accused to public shame and humiliation, which is damaging to their wellbeing, prior to deciding certain responsibility of guilt. The argument that they rely on the Perp Walk as a means to maintain sufficient funding is not permissible as it positions the accused into the role of a tool whereby their humanness is stripped in order to financially benefit the law enforcement agency.
News media aims to satisfy the public’s demand for entertaining criminal news thus increasing their viewer ratings and subsequent profits. They generally focus on the Perp Walk when presenting crime related news and interpret the footage as being relevant to the public’s interest and thus appealing to their freedom of expression rights. However, do media sources reporting on a Perp Walk have any responsibilities to prevent undo harm to the accused’s wellbeing? I would argue that they do and in part show concern for the wellbeing of the accused when they have been decided innocent by making mention of their innocents in their coverage. However this does not counter act the harm already done and thus does not provide enough benefit to provide justification.
Our societal fixation with entertainment is not exempt when it comes to the consumption of criminal news. We are generally comforted in being informed and are more likely to be engaged by news which provides a level of entertainment. The public also derives several seemingly important benefits by observing the Perp Walk. These benefits include identifying high risk potential repeat offenders in addition to being afforded the opportunity to contribute potential new or additional pieces of information affecting the accused. The important question composed from the public’s interaction with the Perp Walk is: does the public derive enough benefit from observing the Perp Walk to justify the potential harm done to the accessed? Without a doubt the public does benefit from being informed and these benefits in cases where society is in danger do justify the potential harm to the wellbeing of the accused. However these benefits are highly situational, in contexts where the accused do not pose an immediate threat to society the justification quickly becomes insufficient. Furthermore only the relevant population ought to have the images of the Perp Walk transmitted whereas distant populations need not be bombarded with images conveying guilt for this ensures certain destruction of the accused’s wellbeing’s if proven not guilty (for they are now unable to relocate without a skewed perception).
The accused, according to our justice system, are assumed to be innocent until proven guilty. However their subjection to the Perp Walk only serves to satisfy the demands of the public, law enforcement and news media with little or no personal benefit to themselves. Additionally, the accused’s right to due process may even be jeopardized by partaking in the Perp Walk for the jury and public’s opinions may be swayed by a preceding assumption of guilt brought about by their exposures to guilt imagery of the accused. The question most prevalent to the accused is: can due process be preserved in the presence of a Perp Walk? This question has been answered many times over in real world examples when the accused are proven innocent after having been said guilty due to an impartial jury.
Having brought to attention the impermissible consideration of the four previously mentioned parties and their direct relationship to the Perp Walk I shall now describe my supplementary process and its inherent benefits and drawbacks. What becomes apparent in Jim Ruiz and D.F Treadwell analysis of the Perp Walk are the ethical shortcomings brought about by having to favoring either the accused or the others. This is to say; meeting the demands, for example, of the accused will consequently lead to the disruption of others for their needs are incompatible. What I propose is a supplementary Perp Walk system which balances the needs of each respective party. Thus this supplement will provide a more ethically permissible as well as practical alternative to the traditional Perp Walk.
I would like to refer to the supplementary Perp Walk process as an ‘occurrence review’ and it would be initiated by law enforcement agencies when they deem it necessary to uphold due process for the accused. In essence it avoids direct media coverage commonly associated with the traditional Perp Walk by not having it staged for mass media coverage. The process of the Perp Walk would still be recorded yet only distributed online via the law enforcement agencies’ domain. Thus detailed video footage, capturing the movement of the accused, is still available to the public. However this footage is only available for individual viewings on behalf of consenting individual citizens. There is however several fundamental conditions on which the ‘occurrence review’ must operate. I will discuss these and make evident the ‘occurrence review’s ability to satisfy the four parties demands while minimizing risks associated with the traditional Perp Walk’s inability to uphold the accused’s right to a fair trial.
Firstly, the law enforcement agency must identify whether there is probable cause for jeopardizing the due process of a potential trial in the occurrence of a highly publicized Perp Walk. If they decide it is in fact probable to assume the due process of a potential trail is at risk the ‘occurrence review’ will be swapped in place of the Perp Walk. It is unacceptable to trade the wellbeing and rights of an individual in order to provide the new media with entertaining footage. It might be argued that this footage is necessary in order to convey the information the public is interested in however I would argue that the media can still refer the public to view the ‘occurrence review’ whilst still providing equally entertaining news without jeopardizing the accused’s right to a fair trial.
Secondly, the video of the accused being escorted into the police station which is presented online in the ‘occurrence review’ must be copyright protected so that there are significant consequences for its use by major news media outlets. This is done in order to prevent the unethical saturation of news media with imagery of guilt without depriving (the public) the ability to virtually attend a process they should rightfully able to. This provides the public with all the benefits they would normally receive from a Perp Walk without infringing on the accused’s right to a fair trial. It might be argued that this restricts the news media’s right to free speech, however, in order to balance the rights of both the accused and the news media this is a favorable compromise for the citizens observing the Perp Walk are assumed to be well informed and thus less unfairly swayed by the images of guilt.
Thirdly, the user accessing the ‘occurrence review’ online should be able to easily access information contextualizing the information being broadcasted so that he or she are sufficiently aware of our justice system including the accused’s innocence until proven guilty. The viewer being aware of the implications of the video footage allows them to properly perceive the relevant information in the video without being unfairly persuaded into having beliefs which are founded primarily by the imagery alone.
Finally, the video footage ought to be removed at the conclusion of the trail. Subsequent to the conclusion of a trail the video footage contained on the law enforcement agencies domain is no longer copy write protected and thus available to the public without contingency. This ensures the free flow of information in our democratic society and has no implication on the role of the accused for the trail has already concluded.
In conclusion, Jim Ruiz and D.F Tradwell have diagnosed several ethical as well as practical considerations affecting the parties involved in the Perp Walk. In response to these considerations I have provided an ethically permissible alternative in the ‘occurrence review’. There is a natural tendency for a circus environment to arise out of the traditional Perp Walk due to the medias drive to satisfy society with entertaining news which inevitably leads to sensationalizing the news are thus creating a circus environment. The public develop an association between the accused and the corresponding images of guilt during the transmission of the news report in this circus environment. Thus the viewer’s fixation on the entertaining qualities of the Perp Walk focused news harms the accused’s right to a fair trial. Although we have a societal responsibility to be informed about our social landscape we must be conscious of how we intake information. In doing so we need not sacrifice the rights of the accused in the process of becoming informed. This is especially true when we as a society are capable of restructuring the Perp Walk to meet the needs of all four parties whilst avoiding any imbalances caused by favoring one particular group over another.

La Glacière est une ancienne carrière d’exploitation du calcaire qui faisait office de cellier pour le Château Royal.
Le centre historique de Pontoise étant construit sur un plateau, appelé Mont Bélien, ses habitants ont très tôt extrait son calcaire. Jusqu’alors exploité dans des carrières à ciel ouvert, c'est vers le XIIIe siècle que l'extraction devient souterraine en puits ou encavage, jusqu'au XIVe siècle, créant ainsi le patrimoine souterrain de la ville.
C'est ainsi que la grande majorité des maisons de son centre-ancien été dotée d’une cave. Ces celliers privés (plus de 900), construits au cours de la période médiévale, sont d’une grande diversité quant à leur style et leur fonction (volumes, différents niveaux...) et sont rattachés aux habitations, leur principale fonction au Moyen-Age étant le stockage des marchandises et la conservation des denrées.
Ce sont souvent des galeries assez larges, aux parois parfois brutes, avec de nombreux aménagements, pouvant se répartir sur 3 niveaux comme la cave Pihan de la Forest. Il s’agit en général de dépendances directes pour les immeubles d’habitations. Les grandes caves étaient quant à elles utilisées comme lieux de stockage par les marchands établis à Pontoise, pour la conservation du vin ou des céréales, l'’accès à ces entrepôts s’effectuant par la rue.
Les caves de Pontoise sont esthétiquement d’une grande variété et certaines sont richement décorées (voûtes à croisées d’ogives, escalier voûté...). L’existence de chapiteaux décorés prouve que ces celliers étaient ouverts aux acheteurs potentiels venus de toute l’Ile de France, voire de plus loin, lors des grandes foires comme la Foire saint-Martin.
Au cours des différents sièges et conflits que Pontoise a connus, les cavités souterraines ont souvent servi de refuge et plus récemment, au cours de la dernière Guerre mondiale, les carrières ont été transformées en abris pour la population en cas de bombardements aériens. Plus prosaïquement, à partir du XVIe siècle, les cavités ont servi de dépotoirs ou de fosses d’aisance. Grâce à cette accumulation de déchets sur plusieurs siècles, celles-ci sont une extraordinaire source d’informations sur le passé ( cf. 13commeune.fr et merci pour la photo).
In this photo there is a McDonalds cup right above the entrance to an elevator at the Court 17 apartment complex behind school. It looks as though someone either wanted to get rid of their trash or perhaps didn't have enough hands and put it there without thinking. Ironically when I went to take this picture the first thing I did was look around for where to put the cup I had in my hand. I actually had seen this cup before we were assigned this project while going up the elevator. When I returned after it was assigned it was still there for me to take a photo of.

Egg tarts!
Used pre-made puff pastry for the shells, as I'm a lazy bint.
The custard was made with sugar, milk, cream, yolks, and a pinch of vanilla, using the recipe here. However, I also added some vanilla to the mix, and used a combination of castor and icing sugar (as opposed to plain ol' sugar) for a finer texture.
