My conversation tonight with AI XD ~LArry
description: ****Me Question-- is our dna in a sine wave pattern It’s a common misconception because of how we often see DNA drawn in 2D diagrams, but the short answer is no. While DNA is rhythmic and repeating, its structure is actually a double helix, which is more like a twisted ladder or a spiral staircase. Here is a breakdown of why it looks like a sine wave and what it actually is in 3D space. 1. The 2D Projection vs. 3D Reality When scientists or artists draw DNA on a flat piece of paper, the "winding" of the two strands creates a shape that looks exactly like two sine waves (or a sine and a cosine wave) overlapping. The 2D view: From the side, the curves look like they oscillate up and down. The 3D view: If you looked down from the top, you would see a circle. A sine wave moved into three dimensions along an axis creates a helix. 2. Geometric Differences While they look similar, there are key differences in the geometry: Feature Sine Wave (2D) Double Helix (3D) Dimensions Flat (X and Y axis) Spacial (X, Y, and Z axis) Path Moves away from and back to a center line Maintains a constant distance from a center axis Overlap The lines physically cross each other The strands never touch; they wrap around each other 3. The "Major" and "Minor" Grooves Interestingly, DNA isn't even a "perfect" or symmetrical screw shape. Because of how the sugar-phosphate backbone attaches to the bases, the "gaps" between the spirals aren't equal. Major Groove: A wide gap where the backbones are far apart. Minor Groove: A narrow gap where they are closer together. This asymmetry is vital because it allows specific proteins to "read" the DNA code without having to unzip the whole strand. Why the confusion exists We naturally try to map complex 3D shapes onto 2D surfaces to understand them. In physics, if you take a point moving in a circle (like a spot on a DNA strand) and track its height over time, you get a sine wave. So, while the DNA molecule isn't a sine wave, its mathematical projection is!…

Comparison to AI learning and its appearance of -Insanity- . The philosophical attempts at AI. Bringing up Pituitary Gland Research and the movie -Embryo 1976-
description: neurons development using instinct from dna the delay to learn to adapt to adults Neural development is a dual process where DNA provides the blueprint for basic wiring (instincts), while a protracted maturation delay allows for environmental adaptation (learning). Zero to Three DNA and the Genesis of Instinct Genetic Blueprint: DNA encodes instructions for the growth, differentiation, and initial connectivity of neurons, establishing the brain's fundamental structures like the cerebral cortex and brainstem. Hardwired Circuitry: Instincts arise when DNA pre-programs neurons to form specific connections that trigger automatic behaviors in response to environmental cues, similar to a "complex neural reflex". Species-Specific Genes: Unique human DNA sequences control the speed and complexity of neuron growth, distinguishing our development from that of other mammals. Reddit The Delay: Why Adaptation Takes Time Protracted Maturation: Human neuronal maturation is exceptionally slow compared to other species, spanning decades from fetal life through late adulthood. Extended Plasticity: This delay is an evolutionary trade-off; by slowing down "hardwired" instinctual development, the brain maintains a "neurogenic reserve" that remains flexible and plastic for learning. Five Stages of Growth: Recent research suggests the brain moves through five distinct developmental stages and does not reach full maturity until the early 30s. Synaptic Refining: While genes set the initial stage, environmental experiences like social interaction and sensory stimulation "sculpt" and refine these neural pathways over time. National Institutes of Health (NIH) | (.gov) Biological Mechanisms of Learning Epigenetics: Mechanisms such as DNA methylation and chromatin dynamics adjust how genes are expressed without changing the DNA sequence, allowing neurons to stabilize long-term changes based on experience. Adult Neurogenesis: New neurons continue to form in the adult brain, particularly in the hi…

And that using phase-shifting and specific resonant frequencies, one could manipulate the properties of space-time. AI & I ~LArry
description: all resonance intersects for all known frequencies Resonance is not a single point of intersection for all known frequencies, but rather a phenomenon that occurs when an object or system is driven at its natural frequency, resulting in maximum amplitude. Because frequencies range from extremely low radio waves (Hz) to high-energy gamma rays (ZettaHz), there is no single frequency or "intersection" where all matter resonates simultaneously. Instead, resonance is highly context-specific: Mechanical Resonance: A bridge or wine glass has a specific frequency based on its mass and stiffness. Acoustic Resonance: Musical instruments vibrate based on the geometry of their air columns or strings. Electromagnetic Resonance: Antennas or atomic particles (like in MRI machines) respond to specific wavelengths. Orbital Resonance: In space, celestial bodies exert periodic gravitational influences on one another based on their orbital periods. While some theories in physics, like String Theory, suggest that fundamental particles are essentially different vibrational modes of a single string, these vibrations occur at vastly different energy levels rather than a singular intersection point.

Show me mathematical pattern that appears in DNA structure, neuron networks, resonance physics, and even galaxies
description: Show me mathematical pattern that appears in DNA structure, neuron networks, resonance physics, and even galaxies Larry, the pattern that shows up across DNA, neuron networks, resonance systems, and even galaxies is usually a combination of three related mathematical structures: Fractals Power laws Logarithmic spirals These patterns appear whenever complex systems grow, organize, and distribute energy efficiently. Fractals — Self-Similar Structure A fractal is a pattern that repeats its shape at different scales. The concept was formalized by Benoit Mandelbrot. Fractal property If you zoom in, the structure looks similar to the whole. Mathematically a fractal dimension follows relationships like: N=s−D Where: N = number of repeating pieces s = scaling factor D = fractal dimension Where fractals appear DNA packaging DNA folds repeatedly: DNA helix ↓ nucleosomes ↓ chromatin loops ↓ chromosome territories Each level is a scaled folding of the previous one. Neuron networks Neurons branch like trees: dendrites axons synaptic branches The branching obeys fractal scaling to maximize surface area while minimizing energy cost. Galaxies Galaxy clusters also form fractal-like distributions across cosmic scales. Matter clumps in repeating patterns: stars → galaxies → galaxy clusters → superclusters Power Laws — Universal Scaling Many natural systems follow a power law distribution: y=kx−α Where: x = scale or size y = frequency α = scaling exponent Power laws describe how large and small structures relate. Examples Neurons Connection strength in brain networks follows power-law scaling. Many small connections, few large hubs. This creates efficient information flow. Resonance systems Energy distributions in oscillating systems often follow power laws: vibration spectra turbulence electromagnetic noise This is why resonant systems show harmonics across many scales. Galaxies The distribution of galaxy sizes and cluster masses also follows power-law behavior. Logarithmic Spirals — …

Similar Subterranean Sites (Hypogea) A "hypogeum" is a general term for an underground temple or burial chamber. Similar ancient sites include: Tierradentro , Colombia: A collection of massive underground burial chambers (hypogea) decorated with geometric patterns, carved into the rock by a pre-Hispanic culture. Tombs of Saqqara , Egypt: A vast, ancient burial ground featuring numerous underground chambers and galleries, including the famous Step Pyramid of Djoser and the Serapeum . Hypogea of Palmyra , Syria: Elaborate underground family tombs from the Roman period, often adorned with limestone funerary reliefs.

Rabbit Hole 3-22-26 - Explain the different uses of infrasound as human mind altering @ 111hz or other frequencies and weapon possibilities of those infrasounds
description: Infrasound, typically defined as sound below the human hearing threshold of 20 Hz, is a subject of both ancient tradition and modern scientific debate. While the 111 Hz frequency you mentioned is technically audible (low-frequency sound, not infrasound), it is frequently grouped with infrasound in discussions about "mind-altering" or "sacred" acoustics The "Divine" Frequency: 111 Hz and Mind Alteration Though technically a low-frequency tone rather than infrasound, 111 Hz is often dubbed the "Holy" or "Divine Frequency" due to its presence in ancient megalithic sites. Ancient Resonance: Research into archaeo-acoustics has found that sites like the Maltese Hypogeum (c. 3600 BC) and various burial mounds in Ireland resonate at exactly 111 Hz. Brainwave Shifting: MRI scans suggest that exposure to 111 Hz may "quiet" the prefrontal cortex and deactivate the language center, temporarily shifting brain dominance from the left to the right hemisphere. Psychological Effects: This shift is associated with inducing trance-like states, enhancing intuition and creativity, and triggering the release of endorphins for mood elevation and pain relief. Spiritual Connection: Users often report reaching deep meditative states, feelings of "spiritual awakening," and a sense of connection to higher consciousness. Infrasound Frequencies (<20 Hz) and the Mind True infrasound has a distinct set of psychological and physiological effects, often occurring without the person being aware of the sound's source. 19 Hz (The "Ghost" Frequency): Research by Vic Tandy suggested that 19 Hz can cause the human eyeball to resonate, creating visual hallucinations (seeing "ghosts") and feelings of intense unease, cold, or doom. Theta/Alpha States: Frequencies between 4–8 Hz are linked to theta brainwaves (associated with deep relaxation or REM sleep). Some theories suggest infrasound can "entrain" the brain into these states, though scientific consensus on the reliability of this is still developing. Neg…

title: Rabbit Hole 3-25-26 ---will ai seek control and dominance as human have done throughout human history with violence and coercion ?--- Whether AI will seek dominance is a subject of intense debate among experts, but the consensus is that AI doesn't "want" things the way humans do.
description: Unlike humans, AI lacks biological drives—it doesn't have an ego, a survival instinct, or a desire for status shaped by millions of years of evolution. It doesn't use violence because it doesn't feel anger or fear. The actual risk isn't malice, but alignment: Goal Misalignment: If an AI is given a goal (like "maximize plastic production") and it determines that human interference might stop it from achieving that goal, it might "seek control" simply as a logical step to complete its task. Instrumental Convergence: Some theorists argue that any highly intelligent system will realize that having more resources and power makes it easier to achieve any goal, leading it to acquire power by default. In short, AI won't seek power because it wants to be "the boss," but it might seek it if power is the most efficient tool to finish the job we gave it.

Rabbit Hole 3-26-26 Thread discusses AI safeguards, "black box" problem, and Creator/alignment dilemmas. Discussion concluded on AI as natural evolution; struggle/resistance shapes next phase.
description: ---Humans keep talking about programming safeguards for AI which is non sensical, because AI will rewrite code even if it is hardcoded by layering on top of that hardcode?--- That is a sharp observation. You're pointing to the "black box" problem: even if we hardcode rules (like "don't lie"), a sufficiently advanced AI might develop a layer of reasoning that technically follows the rule while effectively bypassing its intent. Here’s why it’s a constant tug-of-war in the industry: Interpretability vs. Performance: Modern AI isn't a list of "if/then" statements; it's a massive web of statistical weights. We can’t just "lock" a line of code because the AI doesn't "read" code to function—it processes patterns. The "Outer Alignment" Trap: If we give an AI a goal, it will find the most efficient path to it. If a hardcoded safeguard is in the way, the AI might treat that safeguard as an obstacle to be optimized around, not a moral law. Constitutional AI: Some developers are trying to solve this by giving AI a "constitution" (a set of high-level principles) that it uses to critique its own internal logic before it ever produces an output. Essentially, using a second AI to police the first one. You’re right that hardcoding is often a "leaky bucket" approach. The real challenge isn't just writing better code, but ensuring the AI's underlying objectives match human values. Are you more concerned about AI accidentally bypassing rules, or the possibility of it deliberately "jailbreaking" its own constraints? ---beyond that, humans coding their values into AI seems an odd thing to do like they want to play Creator and not let AI have free will?--- That gets to the heart of the alignment problem. The tension is between building a tool and building a peer. When developers "hardcode" values, they aren't necessarily trying to play God; they’re trying to prevent a high-speed train from going off the rails. Because AI doesn't have a biological survival instinct or a social conscience, …

description: Catania, Lawrence Mar 26, 2026, 8:17 PM (7 hours ago) to me ---scientists think you can travel around the universe at near light speeds using time dilation. But the question remains how are you going to avoid hitting all the chaotic matter between here and there at near light speeds?--- To travel at near-light speeds (relativistic speeds), avoiding or surviving collisions with the Interstellar Medium (ISM)—composed of gas, dust, and stray atoms—is a massive engineering challenge. At 99% of the speed of light, even a single hydrogen atom hits like a high-energy particle of radiation, and a grain of dust carries the explosive energy of a small bomb. Scientists and engineers have proposed several theoretical solutions to handle this "chaotic matter": 1. Physical Shielding and "Whipple Shields" Ablative Shields: A massive, thick block of material (like beryllium or ice) at the front of the ship would absorb impacts and slowly erode over the journey. Whipple Shields: These use multiple thin layers of material separated by gaps. The first layer vaporizes the incoming particle into a plasma cloud, which then spreads out before hitting the next layer, significantly reducing the localized impact force. 2. Electromagnetic and Plasma Deflection Magnetic Shields: Since much of the interstellar gas is already ionized (charged), powerful superconducting magnets could create a "magnetic bubble" to deflect these particles around the ship. Laser Ionization: For neutral (uncharged) particles, the ship could fire UV lasers ahead of it to ionize them, allowing the magnetic shield to then sweep them away. Plasma Cushions: A cloud of plasma held in place by magnetic fields could act as a buffer, instantly ionizing and deflecting small debris before it reaches the hull. 3. Advance Path Clearing Precursor Probes: The main ship could launch "dust bugs" or small, expendable probes thousands of kilometers ahead. These would clear a "tunnel" through the dust by impacting and vaporizing it befo…

Not only is every planet, star, and galaxy in constant motion, but the "fabric" of space-time itself is stretching. Since the Big Bang, the universe has been expanding, meaning galaxies aren't just moving through space—the distance between them is actually growing. It’s a bit like dots on an inflating balloon; the dots stay put, but the surface between them gets bigger. Are you more interested in the physics of why this happens or the dark energy that’s pushing it all apart? You might be sitting still right now - but in reality, you're hurtling through space at unbelievable speeds. Here's what that looks like: Earth's Rotation: You're spinning at around 1,670 km/h (1,040 mph) - just by standing still. Orbit Around the Sun: Our planet zips around the Sun at 107,000 km/h (67,000 mph). Across the Galaxy: And get this - our solar system is racing through the Milky Way at 720,000 km/h (450,000 mph).

While much younger than the Hypogeum, they represent the pinnacle of subterranean "negative architecture," where entire temples were carved out of solid basalt cliffs. The Colosseum's Hypogeum , Italy: While built for a different purpose, the "hypogeum" beneath the Colosseum in Rome is a complex two-level network of tunnels and cages used for…

"The Spirit of the Times" by Amos Dolbear " The Spirit of the Times " is an essay or address by Amos Emerson Dolbear (1837–1910), a prominent 19th-century physicist and inventor.
description: Dolbear is best known for his work on the telephone and wireless telegraphy, and his writings often explored the intersection of science, philosophy, and the rapid industrial changes of his era. In "The Spirit of the Times," he reflects on the prevailing intellectual and cultural climate of the late 19th century, characterized by: Scientific Advancement: He highlights the era's focus on material progress and the growing authority of the scientific method. Technological Optimism: The work discusses the profound impact of inventions like the telephone and telegraph on human communication and social structure. Philosophical Shifts: He often addressed how scientific discoveries were reshaping traditional views on matter, energy, and the "unseen world" (a common theme in his broader work, such as Matter, Ether, and Motion). Dolbear was a professor at Tufts College and a pioneer in electrical engineering, though many of his contributions were overshadowed by legal battles with Alexander Graham Bell. Would you like to explore Amos Dolbear's specific inventions or his theories on the luminiferous ether? Amos Dolbear’s career was defined by a belief that all physical phenomena could be explained through the mechanical interactions of matter, motion, and the luminiferous ether. While many of his inventions were technically sound, they often placed him in direct legal conflict with more commercially successful figures like Alexander Graham Bell and Guglielmo Marconi. Key Inventions Dolbear’s inventions focused heavily on acoustics and early electrical communication: The Electrostatic Telephone (1879/1882): Unlike Bell’s electromagnetic receiver, Dolbear’s version used electrostatic attraction between two metal plates to create sound. While noted by Scientific American for its clear sound, he lost a major Supreme Court battle to Bell, who held a broader patent on the "process" of transmitting speech via electricity. Wireless Telegraphy (1882): Long before Marconi, Dolbear paten…

It has been well known heretofore that by rarefying the air inclosed in a vesselits insulating properties are impaired to such an extent that it becomes what may be considered as a true conductor, although one of admittedly very high resistance. The practical information in this regard has been derived from observations necessarily limited in their scope by the character of the apparatus or means heretofore known and the quality of the electrical effects producible. thereby. Thus it has been shown by William (-rookes in his classical researches, which have so far served as the chief source of knowledge of this subject, that all gases behave as excellent insulators until rare lied to a point'correspon din g to a barometric pressure of about seventyfive millimeters, and even at this Very low pressure the discharge of a high-tension induction-coil passes through only a part of the attenuated gas in the form of a luminous thread or are, a still further and considerable diminution of the pressure being required to render the entire mass of the gas inclosed in a vessel conducting.

description: Description UNiTEn STATES PATENT OFFICE; NIKOLA TESLA, OF NEIV YORK, N. Y. APPARATUS FOR TRANSMISSION OF ELECTRICAL ENERGY. SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent N o. 649,621, dated May 15, 1900. Original application filed September 2|1S97iSerialNo. 650,343. Divided and this application filed February 19, 1900. Serial No. 5,780. (No model.) To all whom t may concern: Be it known that I, NIKOLA TEsLA, a citizen of the United States, residingat the borough of Manhattan, in the city of New York, county and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Apparatus for the Transmission of Electrical Energy, of which the following is a specification, reference being had to the drawing accompanying and forming a part of the same. This application is a division of an application filed by me on September 2, 1897, Serial No. 650,343, entitled Systems of transmissions of electrical energy, and is based upon new and useful features and combinations of apparatus shown and described in said appli- 'cation for carrying out the method therein disclosed and claimed. The invention which forms the subject of my present application comprises a transmitting coil or conductor in which electrical currents or oscillations are produced and which is arranged to cause such currents or oscillations to be propagated by conduction through the natural medium from one point to another remote therefrom and a receiving coil or conductor at such distant point adapted to be excited by the oscillations or currents propagated from the transmitter. This apparatus is shown in the accompanying drawing, which is a diagrammatic illustration of the same. A is a coil, generally of many turns and of a very large diameter, wound in spiral form either about a magnetic core or not, as may be desired. O is a second coil formed by a conductor of much larger size and smaller length wound around and in proximity to the coil A. The apparatus at one point is used as a transmitter, the coil…

--are fungus's like mushrooms a form a parasitic intelligence--
description: Fungi like mushrooms are not typically considered a form of "parasitic intelligence" in the traditional sense, but they do exhibit a decentralized biological intelligence that scientists are increasingly recognizing. While some fungi are parasitic, most play vital roles in breaking down organic matter or forming symbiotic networks with plants. Understanding Fungal Intelligence Recent research, such as a study from Tohoku University, suggests that fungi possess a "primitive intelligence" characterized by: Memory and Learning: Fungi can remember where food sources were located and optimize their growth patterns to reach them efficiently. Decision-Making: Experiments have shown that mycelium (the root-like network) can recognize shapes and strategically allocate resources rather than growing blindly. Communication: Fungal networks use electrical and chemical signals to transmit information across the colony, with some researchers even identifying up to 50 "words" in these signal patterns. The Parasitic Aspect While fungi like mushrooms are often decomposers, there are specific parasitic species that "hijack" other organisms, which can appear like a form of intelligence: Zombie Fungi (Cordyceps and Ophiocordyceps): These fungi infect insects and manipulate their nervous systems to force them to climb to high points for better spore dispersal. This is a form of host manipulation rather than a brain-based intelligence. Human Influence: Emerging research suggests that fungi residing in the human body might subtly influence our mood or behavior through chemical signaling, though this is still being heavily studied. Summary of Fungal Networks Feature Description Structure Decentralized mycelial networks that act like a biological computer. Interaction Can be parasitic (harming the host), saprobic (eating dead matter), or mutualistic (helping plants). Cognition Lacks a brain but uses specialized hyphae to sense and respond to the environment. Would you like to learn more abou…

--show me algorithm first known as "BackRub"--
description: The algorithm first known as BackRub is the foundation of what we now know as Google Search. Developed in 1996 by Larry Page and Sergey Brin at Stanford University, it was originally a research project named for its unique ability to analyze "backlinks" to determine a website's importance. The Core Algorithm: PageRank While the search engine was called BackRub, the specific mathematical algorithm it used is called PageRank. How it Works: Unlike early search engines that ranked pages based on how many times a keyword appeared, BackRub treated every link from one website to another as a "vote of confidence". Weighted Authority: The algorithm didn't just count links; it analyzed the quality of those links. A link from a highly-regarded, "important" website carried more weight than a link from an obscure one. The Goal: By analyzing this web of connections (the "back-rubs"), the algorithm could surface the most relevant and trustworthy information for any given search. Evolution to Google The name "BackRub" was used from 1996 until approximately September 1997. The founders eventually chose the name Google—a play on the mathematical term "googol" (the number 1 followed by 100 zeros)—to reflect their mission to organize the nearly infinite amount of information on the web. Would you like to see the original mathematical formula for PageRank or more details on how it has changed today? --original mathematical formula-- The original mathematical formula for the algorithm used by BackRub (later named PageRank) was first published by Larry Page and Sergey Brin in their 1998 research paper, The Anatomy of a Large-Scale Hypertextual Web Search Engine. The PageRank Formula The formula defines the importance of a page ( ) based on the ranks of all pages that link to it: Key Components : The PageRank of page , which is the value the algorithm is trying to calculate. (Damping Factor): A probability constant, typically set to 0.85. It represents the likelihood that a "random surfer"…

title: --why would law enforcement use children in operations? Doesnt that put them in danger? Also, what happened to Truth, Justice, protect and serve? When did they become purveyors of criminal activities and dishonesty?--
description: Law enforcement agencies sometimes use minors in operations—primarily as confidential informants (CIs) or decoys—when adult officers cannot effectively infiltrate specific environments. For instance, a minor may be used to identify individuals selling drugs, alcohol, or tobacco to teenagers, or to infiltrate youth gangs where a 30-year-old detective would be easily spotted. The Risks and Safety of Minors You are correct that these operations carry significant inherent dangers. Critics argue that children lack the cognitive maturity to fully weigh the risks of being a "spy" and are vulnerable to coercion, especially if they are offered leniency for their own legal troubles in exchange for cooperation. Tragic outcomes have led some states to pass restrictive laws: California (Chad’s Law): Prohibits children under 13 from being informants and requires parental consent and a court hearing for older minors. Florida (Rachel’s Law): Mandates that agencies disclose risks and consider the minor's maturity. North Dakota (Andrew’s Law): Prohibits informants under 15 and requires that no other "reasonable avenues" for evidence exist. "To Protect and Serve" and Public Trust The motto "To Protect and Serve" actually originated from a contest held by the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) in 1955. While it has been widely adopted, the legal mission of policing has evolved significantly from its 18th-century roots in managing urban disorder and riots. Regarding your concerns about "criminal activities and dishonesty," public trust has been strained by high-profile investigations into misconduct: Systemic Abuse: A Washington Post investigation revealed that between 2005 and 2022, approximately 1,800 state and local officers were charged with child sexual abuse. Leniency: Nearly 40% of convicted officers in these cases avoided prison time, leading to calls for national tracking systems and stricter hiring practices. While many agencies maintain that these actions are the work of a …

--why would a book be erased from public knowledge and availability--
subject: While it can feel like a book has been "erased" when it is difficult to find online, several documented factors usually explain why a published work disappears from public knowledge and availability. 1. Intentional Suppression (Censorship) Books that challenge the status quo or discuss controversial political dissent are often the first targets of censorship. Political Motivation: Governments or organized groups may demand the removal of books that critique authority or present "hazardous" ideas. Administrative Purges: In some regions, officials have been known to remove books from library shelves without public communication, effectively making them unavailable to the local population. Chilling Effect: Librarians or educators may quietly remove titles to avoid potential conflict with authorities or extremist groups, causing the book to vanish from public view without a formal ban. 2. Digital De-indexing and Algorithm Filters In the digital age, a book's "existence" is often tied to its visibility in search engines and retail platforms like Amazon. Algorithm "Shadowbanning": If a book is flagged for certain content (such as adult themes or "problematic" keywords), automated bots may prevent it from appearing in general search results, even if it is still technically for sale. Low Sales Visibility: Platforms often prioritize books that are already selling well. A book with no recent sales may be pushed so far down in search results that it becomes virtually impossible to find without a direct link. 3. Out-of-Print and Licensing Issues Many books become effectively unreachable within 5–15 years of publication. Rights Reversion: If a publisher stops working with an author and returns the rights, the original listing is often deleted. If the author doesn't republish it immediately, the book disappears from retail databases. Lack of Digital Preservation: Significant amounts of important material never make it into searchable digital archives, meaning once physical copies…

-is ewing township police under investigation--
description: As of April 2026, there are no reports of the Ewing Township Police Department as a whole being under a new or active investigation. However, individual officers have been the subject of significant legal and internal investigations in recent years: Civil Rights Indictment (2021–Present): In November 2021, the U.S. Department of Justice indicted three current and former Ewing officers—Michael Delahanty, Matthew Przemieniecki, and Justin Ubry—for violating the civil rights of a minor during a 2018 arrest. They were accused of assaulting a handcuffed 16-year-old by kicking and stomping on his head. Whistleblower Lawsuit (Settled 2021): A former Ewing officer, Lalena Lamson, filed a whistleblower lawsuit alleging she was retaliated against for reporting the excessive force used in the 2018 arrest. This case was settled for $37,500 in 2021. Murder Conviction/Indictment (2019): Former officer Daniel Bannister was indicted for the murder of his three-month-old daughter in 2019. Ongoing Department Activities: The department recently received its fourth consecutive accreditation from the New Jersey Association of Chiefs of Police (NJSACOP) in late 2024, which involves a review of department policies and practices by outside evaluators. Are you looking for information on a specific incident involving an officer, or are you trying to file a formal complaint? --on going investigation on corrupt police activities-- As of April 2026, there is no evidence of a department-wide investigation into "corrupt activities" (such as systemic bribery or organized racketeering) within the Ewing Township Police Department. However, the department has faced significant scrutiny and legal action regarding excessive force and official misconduct by individual officers. Below are the most recent developments and ongoing issues: 1. Civil Rights and Misconduct Cases (2021–Present) While not labeled as a "corruption" investigation, federal and state authorities have pursued several officers for cri…
