Saturday's Echo Park Community Parade was one of the best ever.

Helped out by great weather and a great turnout, it was a memorable three hours enjoyed by many.

Gary Leonard joined Patch editor Anthea Raymond at the viewing stand to take these special shots for Patch.

It takes a community to have a community parade. Congratulations are in store for additional parade committee members: Lidia Martinez, Robert Aguayo,Rosie Betanzos, Ceasar Betanzos,Maryanne Hayashi, Isa-Kae Meksin, Kelly Erickson and Andrea Barbosa. Councilmembers Ed Reyes and Eric Garcetti, Central City Action Committee, El Centro Del Pueblo and Echo Park deserve a round of applause as well. See everyone next year!

The fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution states that: the right of the people to be…Read More secure in their persons,houses,papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized "this fundamental right has a tense relationship with sobriety checkpoints, at a sobriety checkpoint, drivers are necessary stopped with out reasonable suspicion, and may be tested summarily and with out probable cause, Thus the constitution would prohibit people from being stopped without a search Warrant or at least without probable cause that they have committed a crime; however, the Warrant requirement only attaches should the search be unreasonable and the Supreme Court, as shown below, decided that such stops are not unreasonable under certain circumstances, The United States Supreme Court found properly conducted sobriety checkpoints to be Constitutional, While acknowledging that such checkpoints infringed on a Constitutional Right. Although the U.S. Supreme Court has found sobriety checkpoints to be constitutionally permissible, ten states (Idaho,Iowa,Michigan,Minnesota,Oregon,Rhode Island, Texas,Washington,Wisconsin, and Wyoming) have found that sobriety roadblocks violate their own State Constitutions or have outlawed tHEM.

Again, if you see a checkpoint you can still legally turn around or change directions to avoid it as…Read More long as you are not already in it. Learn your rights. But don't drink and drive. Call Northeast LAPD to go to take the LAPD Community Based Police Academy course. It's free. Of course, Northeast doesn't let others know about it.

The 125th at Logan was great. Parents, students, former teachers, some alumni from the 1940's. But…Read More what is most essential to keep in mind is that Logan, a public school, has educated generations of Echo Park children, natives and immigrants, English-speaking and those learning English, respecting the diverse cultures of families that have made their homes in our community. It's a public school that serves all children, those with children with disabilities, those who have behavior issues, all children. It turns away no one. It does what public schools are supposed to do; it educates the public. And it welcomes parents to participate in decision-making bodies that can influence their child's education.
