Jackson to surrender ( his own time and own place )

You're essentially correct. You have to stay under 250 knots, squawk 1200, and stay out of TCA's and below 12,000.

Really?

Since when do arrest warrants set bail? How did Michael Jackson get bail before an arraignment ever occured? Is there an alternative justice system available to this person?

I'm curious about this too. It's highly irregular to announce bail before a suspect is even brought in and arraigned.

Here's the only logical explanation I can come up with:

The authorities are afraid that MJ will flee the country outside of U.S. juridiction. He certainly has the resources to disappear like that and still ensure a very comfortable life somewhere else with plenty of flunkies to protect him and cater to his ever need (such as supplying young boys).

So in order to prevent him from fleeing like this, they announce to the media about the $3 million bail. This has the MJ camp probably thinking "Hmmm, we can make this bail. Let's show up for the arraignment and see what they (the prosecution) has. Then we can make bail and decide what to do later."

So basically, the intent is to not have MJ worry about spending a night in jail. He'll surrender himself, thinking that he'll be back in Never Neverland in a few short hours where he can then have plenty of time to prepare his exile before the trial even starts.

But maybe the authorities have a little surprise for MJ. Once he surrenders and is arraigned, he is hit with so many charges that the judge decides to hold him without bail until trial and classifies him as a danger to society.

One can only hope.

This gets more and more bizarre. According to this new thread:
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1025691/posts

3 Norwegian teens were sent 4 weeks ago to visit with MJ.
They were supposed to be back 3 weeks ago. They haven't returned yet and it seems no one knows where they are....

So, Janet Reno sent in her jack-booted thugs with guns drawn to hustle little Elian Gonzales back to Cuba but Michael (Pedophilia) Jackson will surrender on his own terms? Anyone see anything upside down here in the good old U.S. of A.?

[Chantal]

They will choose their own time and their own place to do this..

It all b.s....MJ is a pedophile, period, he shouldn't get special treatment. Since when a scumbag calls the shot..I say they go in there and grag Michael by the scruff of the neck and kick his freaky arse all the way to the authorities. ahhhhhh I feel better....

I think Jacko will try to flee the country, for France, naturally.

The way the LE are operating, it wouldn't surprise me at all, if they have been investigating him for 2 months, I'm sure they already knew where he was. Las Vegas is Syberia.

[Chantal]

Sorry I'm getting ahead of myself.. I meant Las Vegas is not
like Syberia...it's next door to us.

[Charles Henrickson]

So is Jacko a Sybarite or a Vegan?

Maybe both.

Amazing.....this 45 year old child has managed to become a cartoon of himself.

They apparently had a chance to arrest him and screwed it up. It says:

"Jackson left Las Vegas in his private jet on Wednesday, according to reports in Thursday's Los Angeles Times and Santa Barbara News-Press. He was escorted by Santa Barbara County sheriff's deputies to his own jet and flew from a private terminal at the McCarran International Airport, according to an airport security guard the Times did not name. The News-Press said Jackson's pilot had not filed a flight plan and neither newspaper reported where the jet was headed. "

So if the authorities were with him at that point, why did they not arrest him then? Someone screwed up and he's probably in another country by now with his kids.

Put a price on his head and confisgate all his assets. Go after his mob/crime family. I hope Pellicano takes them all down with him.

confisgate confiscate

Shoot down the plane. Rescue any survivors.

"Al Cowlings.... report to the garage."

I was thinking maybe a silver sequined PT Cruiser with Woody Allen behind the wheel!

(11-20) 11:16 PST SANTA BARBARA, Calif. (AP) --

Michael Jackson left Nevada on Thursday en route to California, where he faces a $3 million arrest warrant alleging multiple counts of child molestation.

Jackson left North Las Vegas Airport late Thursday morning en route to Santa Barbara Municipal Airport aboard a leased jet, according to an employee of XtraJet, a Santa Monica leasing company.

The jet carrying Jackson, his family and a bodyguard, was expected to land before noon PST at the airport located in Goleta.

"He flew out of the North Las Vegas Airport," said Las Vegas police Sgt. Rick Barela. "He's gone."

Jackson's attorney, Mark Geragos, said Thursday that he had negotiated with authorities for the pop superstar to turn himself in and "confront these charges."

Throngs of camera crews and news reporters awaited his possible arrival at county jails and area airports.

"I have made arrangements with the sheriff and the district attorney for Mr. Jackson to come back and confront these charges," Geragos told The Associated Press.
