Enough already!!!! Don't these people own a bloody dictionary??!!!
If this is a reprint of the police blotter as submitted it scares the hell out of me that these people don't even know the meaning of the jargon that they employ. RECOGNIZANCE: an obligation of record before the court or magistrate as in to perform a particular act or appear in court.
RECONNAISSANCE:the process or activity of reconnoitering; a preliminary inspection of an area. Fercrissakes, what the heck is this? Eubonics?
