Student Claire Chiara is director of the \u003ca href=\"http://www.berkeleycollegerepublicans.com/\">UC Berkeley College Republicans\u003c/a>. She says if the university is going to provide legal services, they should be for all students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Students could get legal help for anything ranging from, my gosh, a divorce they're going through, to fighting any form of trial they might appear in,\" says Chiara. \"So I think this legal aid for undocumented students is really an issue because it doesn't represent the entire student body.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>UC President Janet Napolitano disagrees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Our undocumented students are in a special place, a unique place,\" says Napolitano. She funded the legal center as part of a $5 million investment to support undocumented students. The money is from the President's Initiative Fund, which she is allowed to use to address needs around the UC system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's the public policy of the state of California that they pay in-state tuition, that they qualify for financial aid. All we are doing is recognizing they are a special population,\" says Napolitano. \"They have high needs. So if these students are going to be part of the UC family, and they are … why not also do what we can to provide legal services?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Napolitano says she wants universities in other states to follow the University of California's lead.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

He says it’s something that has personal meaning for him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Because when I was your guys’ age, I got stopped and harassed all the time,” Woods explains. “And it's important for me to make sure that you guys know your rights and are able to assert them.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Deputy Assistant Public Defender Jennie Otis hopes that helps keep kids out of the system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think it plays many roles,\" Otis says. \"One is hopefully to reduce our clientele.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Public defenders are here for two hours every Friday, using skits and role-playing to teach the students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>National Spotlight on Interactions with Law Enforcement\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the program started last spring, Woods and Otis say kids are more engaged than ever, thanks to the spotlight on recent events in Ferguson, New York and Baltimore in which young black men were killed by white police officers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those events raise questions, such as: “The dude that got choked and he died, he had a friend that was recording ...”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Early on, one student asks whether you can get in trouble for filming \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LfXqYwyzQpM\">video\u003c/a> of a police encounter like the one involving Eric Garner, the unarmed New Yorker who died in police custody.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“So, if you're further away and recording, it can be OK. It really depends on the officer's interpretation as to whether you're actually interfering with the investigation or arrest,” explains Woods.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It turns out the students, like most people, are pretty fuzzy on even the basics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“So, true or false,” asks Otis. “I have to speak to a police officer just because he or she wants to talk to me. Who thinks that's true?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>False … with a caveat: You do have to provide your name and date of birth.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even so, Otis tells the class you can't just walk away until you confirm you're not being detained.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What we recommend is that as soon as a police officer comes up and begins talking to you, that you say, ‘Am I free to go?’ \" says Otis. “And if the officer says yes, then we recommend you say, 'Thank you, officer,' and go on your way.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many kids are inclined to comply with authority figures, which can get them into trouble. To help them get comfortable with asserting their rights, Woods and Otis role-play with students, like Yonatan Daniel.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Nice day today?” asks Woods, playing a police officer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Ya, it's good,” answers Daniel\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Where you coming from?” continues Woods.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Over there,” says Daniel.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Over there?

How does that feel?” asks Otis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It was weird,” admits Johnson, “but it felt better than Wednesday.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They also talk to kids about what to do when the answer is, \"No, you're not free to go.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When he says, ‘Give me your bag’, what do you do?” Otis polls the class.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Give it to him!” they shout.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“And?” she asks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I do not consent to this search,” they answer in unison.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Do you pull away? Do you slap his hand?” asks Woods.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“No!” they laugh.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Magic Words\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Finally, Woods says he wants them to remember what he calls magic words: “I have the right to remain silent” and “I want a lawyer.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Daniel says the lesson is relevant to him and his peers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think it is because some of us actually do get stopped by police for stuff, even if we don't do something,” Daniel says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A spokesman for the Oakland Police Department agrees these are the sorts of conversations that need to be had.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, the man who brought the program to Oakland Tech, counselor and former coach Eric Clayton, says he's eager to have the program in more classes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You know, it's stemming the tide,” says Clayton, “That's what we're trying to do, stem the tide by education. And they're doing a phenomenal job.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As the class wraps up, the students each get a small card to remind them of their rights.

"content": "\u003cp>A Concord man, who reportedly drove the wrong way for 30 miles on East Bay freeways earlier this month and fled from authorities after crashing into another motorist in Berkeley, has been arrested.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The California Highway Patrol arrested Jerome Wingert, 33, at around 3:10 a.m. Wednesday at a Berkeley hotel. The arrest was made by CHP officers with assistance from Berkeley police, according to CHP spokesman Officer Clayton Nett.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wingert has been involved in at least two other high-profile pursuits with Bay Area law enforcement agencies over the past seven years, according to media reports.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The recent chase began at 11:30 p.m. Sunday, May 17, in Concord when police there spotted Wingert in a Honda Accord that had been reported stolen, according to Officer Sean Wilkenfeld, a CHP spokesman. Wingert evaded officers, the CHP says, traveling in the wrong direction on the freeway for about 30 miles, before exiting in Berkeley. There, police say he crashed into an SUV near the corner of Hearst Avenue and California Street. The SUV's driver, Zaya Yaro, 45, of Santa Clara, suffered minor injuries in the collision.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Officers aided by a CHP helicopter and a Richmond police canine searched the neighborhood for several hours, but he managed to avoid capture. The California Highway Patrol says it continued to investigate the incident and ultimately identified Wingert as the driver of the stolen Honda.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to police scanner recordings, Wingert called the CHP as officers followed him and told them to call off the pursuit. He told dispatchers he did not want to go back to jail.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Accounts of Two Earlier Chases\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2008 and 2011, Wingert made headlines after high-profile chases in Lafayette and Martinez that culminated in his arrest.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2008, he allegedly crashed a stolen vehicle in Lafayette, then jumped onto the roof of a passing SUV to try to get away from officers. He managed to cling to the roof for several minutes before an officer stopped the vehicle and took Wingert into custody on suspicion of felony evading, carrying a loaded firearm and possession of stolen property, \u003ca href=\"http://www.contracostatimes.com/ci_9877997\" target=\"_blank\">according to the Contra Costa Times\u003c/a>. Authorities said, in that incident, Wingert also took to the freeway, driving against traffic to try to escape capture.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Three years later, Wingert was involved in \u003ca href=\"http://patch.com/california/martinez/wild-chase-ends-in-arrest-of-two-suspects\" target=\"_blank\">another chase\u003c/a> that led a Contra Costa sheriff's spokeswoman to describe him as “a menace ... wanted by several agencies for several things.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That June 2011 chase involved four law enforcement agencies who had tried to arrest Wingert on suspicion of armed robbery. Wingert led officers on a “wild chase through two cities and a freeway” after they tried to stop him in Concord, according to media reports.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At one point in the 2011 chase, Wingert was involved in a wrong-way chase on Highway 4. Police ultimately arrested him and another man, Nicholas Haro, in Martinez after they got off the freeway. According to Martinez Patch, “Both men asked for medical assistance shortly after being stopped ... claiming that they were suffering from anxiety attacks.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The men were arrested in that case on suspicion of being parolees at large, robbery, burglary, fleeing and resisting arrest, according to the Martinez News-Gazette. A reporter for that paper wrote \u003ca href=\"http://martineznews-gazette.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=7252:two-arrested-after-death-defying-police-chase&catid=187:crime&Itemid=81#.VVqCXZNVikp\" target=\"_blank\">a firsthand account\u003c/a> of nearly colliding with Wingert as he barreled toward her on the freeway while fleeing from police at an estimated 120 mph.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Support independent local journalism by \u003c/b>\u003ca href=\"http://www.berkeleyside.com/support-berkeleyside/\">\u003cb>becoming a Berkeleyside member\u003c/b>\u003c/a>\u003cb>.

The arrest was made by CHP officers with assistance from Berkeley police, according to CHP spokesman Officer Clayton Nett.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wingert has been involved in at least two other high-profile pursuits with Bay Area law enforcement agencies over the past seven years, according to media reports.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The recent chase began at 11:30 p.m. Sunday, May 17, in Concord when police there spotted Wingert in a Honda Accord that had been reported stolen, according to Officer Sean Wilkenfeld, a CHP spokesman. Wingert evaded officers, the CHP says, traveling in the wrong direction on the freeway for about 30 miles, before exiting in Berkeley. There, police say he crashed into an SUV near the corner of Hearst Avenue and California Street. The SUV's driver, Zaya Yaro, 45, of Santa Clara, suffered minor injuries in the collision.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Officers aided by a CHP helicopter and a Richmond police canine searched the neighborhood for several hours, but he managed to avoid capture. The California Highway Patrol says it continued to investigate the incident and ultimately identified Wingert as the driver of the stolen Honda.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

He told dispatchers he did not want to go back to jail.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Accounts of Two Earlier Chases\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2008 and 2011, Wingert made headlines after high-profile chases in Lafayette and Martinez that culminated in his arrest.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2008, he allegedly crashed a stolen vehicle in Lafayette, then jumped onto the roof of a passing SUV to try to get away from officers. He managed to cling to the roof for several minutes before an officer stopped the vehicle and took Wingert into custody on suspicion of felony evading, carrying a loaded firearm and possession of stolen property, \u003ca href=\"http://www.contracostatimes.com/ci_9877997\" target=\"_blank\">according to the Contra Costa Times\u003c/a>. Authorities said, in that incident, Wingert also took to the freeway, driving against traffic to try to escape capture.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Three years later, Wingert was involved in \u003ca href=\"http://patch.com/california/martinez/wild-chase-ends-in-arrest-of-two-suspects\" target=\"_blank\">another chase\u003c/a> that led a Contra Costa sheriff's spokeswoman to describe him as “a menace ... wanted by several agencies for several things.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That June 2011 chase involved four law enforcement agencies who had tried to arrest Wingert on suspicion of armed robbery. Wingert led officers on a “wild chase through two cities and a freeway” after they tried to stop him in Concord, according to media reports.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At one point in the 2011 chase, Wingert was involved in a wrong-way chase on Highway 4. Police ultimately arrested him and another man, Nicholas Haro, in Martinez after they got off the freeway. According to Martinez Patch, “Both men asked for medical assistance shortly after being stopped ... claiming that they were suffering from anxiety attacks.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The men were arrested in that case on suspicion of being parolees at large, robbery, burglary, fleeing and resisting arrest, according to the Martinez News-Gazette. A reporter for that paper wrote \u003ca href=\"http://martineznews-gazette.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=7252:two-arrested-after-death-defying-police-chase&catid=187:crime&Itemid=81#.VVqCXZNVikp\" target=\"_blank\">a firsthand account\u003c/a> of nearly colliding with Wingert as he barreled toward her on the freeway while fleeing from police at an estimated 120 mph.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Support independent local journalism by \u003c/b>\u003ca href=\"http://www.berkeleyside.com/support-berkeleyside/\">\u003cb>becoming a Berkeleyside member\u003c/b>\u003c/a>\u003cb>.

The first, in August, involved alleged domestic abuse at his home against his pregnant fiancee. In November, the Santa Clara County District Attorney’s Office \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2014/11/10/report-49ers-ray-mcdonald-wont-be-charged-in-domestic-violence-case\" target=\"_blank\">announced it had insufficient evidence\u003c/a> to charge McDonald over that incident, citing a lack of cooperation from the alleged victim as well as a lack of other witnesses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Before that case was dropped, the 49ers came under intense criticism for playing McDonald while the investigation was underway, especially considering a spate of high-profile, alleged criminal activity by NFL players, including a very ugly incident in which \u003ca href=\"https://www.google.com/search?q=ray+rice+elevator\" target=\"_blank\">Ray Rice knocked out his fiancee in an elevator\u003c/a> with a punch. Then-49ers coach Jim Harbaugh repeatedly defended the decision to play McDonald by saying \"due process\" had to be respected.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But when McDonald was arrested last December on suspicion of sexual assault, the 49ers decided they'd had enough, releasing him almost immediately after authorities announced an investigation. In that case, a woman claimed McDonald had sexually assaulted her after she fell and hit her head at his home. McDonald has claimed the sex was consensual. He has yet to be charged in the case, and he said in March that he will \u003ca href=\"http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2015/03/16/ray-mcdonald-will-sue-the-woman-who-accused-him-of-rape/\" target=\"_blank\">sue the alleged victim\u003c/a> for falsely accusing him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.nbcbayarea.com/news/local/Ray-McDonald-Arrested-Domestic-Violence-SJPD-Sources-304911011.html\" target=\"_blank\">NBC Bay Area\u003c/a> contacted McDonald's mother today in an attempt to learn more about her son's latest problems:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\n\u003cp class=\"paragraph\">Reached by phone in Florida on Monday, McDonald's mother, LaBrina McDonald, told NBC Bay area that she knew nothing about the arrest. \"I'm not dealing with any more of this negative stuff,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"paragraph\">She did say that McDonald's baby, Amari, was born in March to his ex-fiance and that sometimes he visited his newborn son in Silicon Valley.
