Three of five injured in Passau car ramming released from hospital
Among them is the five-year-old daughter of the alleged perpetrator. The man's 40-year-old wife and a 39-year-old woman are still being treated in hospital, but their lives are not in danger, the police said in a statement.

Trump's Justice Department is investigating whether DC police officials falsified crime data
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Justice Department has opened an investigation into whether police officials in Washington, D.C., have falsified data to make crime rates appear lower than they are, according to a person familiar with the probe who wasn't authorized to publicly discuss an open investigation. The investigation comes amid an escalating — and political — showdown between the Trump administration and the city over control of the police department. It wasn't immediately clear what federal laws could have been violated by the possible manipulation of crime data. President Donald Trump claimed that violent crime in Washington is getting worse as he ordered a federal takeover of the city's police department, flooding the streets with hundreds of National Guard members. But he exaggerated or misstated many facts about public safety in Washington, where crime rates have fallen in recent years. Mayor Muriel Bowser's office declined to comment on the investigation. A spokesperson for U.S. Attorney Jeannine Pirro's office in Washington didn't respond to emails seeking comment. The New York Times was first to report on the investigation. Earlier this year, a Metropolitan Police Department commander suspected of manipulating crime data was placed on paid administrative leave, NBC Washington reported. Bowser told the television station last Tuesday that the city's police chief 'had concerns about one commander, investigated all seven districts and verified that the concern was with one person.' 'So, we are completing that investigation and we don't believe it implicates many cases,' the mayor added. Former interim U.S. Attorney Ed Martin, who was Pirro's predecessor and Trump's first pick to lead the office, said Washington's violent crime had decreased in the first 100 days since Trump returned to the White House in January. In an April 28 news release, Martin's office said MPD data showed that violent crime had dropped by 25 percent since the start of 2025. 'We are proving that strong enforcement and smart policies can make our communities safer,' Martin said in the release. ___ Associated Press writer Matt Brown contributed to this report.

R.I. prosecutor told police to turn off a body-worn camera during her arrest. Do officers have to comply?
'I want you to turn your body cam off,' Devon Flanagan tells an officer during the Aug. 14 confrontation, Content Warning: Profanity. Body camera footage shows R.I. Special Assistant Attorney General Devon Flanagan and Veronica Hannan being arrested in Newport. 'Protocol is that you turn it off if a citizen requests to turn it off,' Flanagan said. Is that true? Not really, experts say. 'The state's body-worn camera policy is very clear that the request to turn off the cameras is something that an officer should consider, if asked by a victim or a witness to a crime – not to somebody who was suspected of the crime,' said Get Rhode Map A weekday briefing from veteran Rhode Island reporters, focused on the things that matter most in the Ocean State. Enter Email Sign Up 'And it remains within the discretion of the police officer in any event,' Brown added. 'It's not an obligation.' Advertisement Rhode Island Police Chiefs Association President Thomas Oates III said officers in the Newport incident were 'well within policy.' 'I don't know that young lady, what knowledge she has of body-worn camera policy or what she thought it was, but whatever she was saying, she was inaccurate,' said Oates, who is also the chief of police in Woonsocket. Under the Advertisement Police could also decide to deactivate a camera in 'areas where there may be a reasonable expectation of privacy and [in] other sensitive locations,' the policy states. Those areas could include private residences, locker rooms, law offices, schools, daycare facilities, certain places in hospitals or clinics, and where 'First Amendment rights are being exercised,' including places of worship, newsrooms, and where peaceful protests are taking place, the policy states. Officers recording in those areas 'shall be mindful not to record beyond what is necessary to capture contact with members of the public, effect an arrest, or search for an individual,' according to the policy. Whether police mute or stop the recording, or only record audio in those areas should based on whether an officer 'observes activities or circumstances of a sensitive or private nature,' or if there are people present who are not involved with the police matter; who are minors; and who are witnesses and want anonymity, the policy states. Brown noted the alleged incident in Newport 'was out in public.' 'These are precisely the circumstances where the body cameras should be activated,' he said. Officers 'acted appropriately in not turning the camera off,' Brown said. Timothy Rondeau, a spokesperson for the Attorney General's Office, said on Monday that Flanagan's request is not part of the statewide body-worn camera policy, and confirmed the policy applies only to victims and witnesses of crimes. According to Oates, departments adopted provisions of the statewide policy to receive funding when Advertisement The Newport police Lieutenant Robert Salter, a department spokesperson, wrote in an email the department would not comment further on Tuesday regarding last week's incident. According to Oates, the decision for police to record depends on the circumstances. 'Obviously a case where there's an alleged disturbance involved, or someone potentially acting in a disorderly manner and is argumentative and doesn't want to comply with the commands of the police officers to clear them from an area, we're never going to turn the body camera off,' Oates said. Oates has not heard of many people requesting not to be recorded, he said. 'This is why it's important that body-worn cameras are existent,' Oates said. 'In a lot of cases, what it does is it causes people who are behaving badly to ... calm down and not behave badly when they know that they're being recorded and their actions are being documented.' It doesn't always work that way though, Oates said. Related : In Newport on Aug. 14, officers arrived around 9:51 p.m. at 24 Bannister's Wharf – the Clark Cooke House restaurant – after receiving a report of an intoxicated woman – later identified as Veronica Hannan – refusing to leave, police wrote in a report. During the encounter caught on video, Flanagan, who was with Hannan, repeatedly tells officers to turn off the camera. She also tells them several times, 'I'm an A.G.,' and as she is placed in a cruiser, she says, 'You're going to regret this.' Advertisement Police identified Flanagan as Devon Hogan, 34, of Warwick. The Attorney General's Office confirmed that Hogan and Flanagan are the same person. She was charged with willful trespass – a misdemeanor – and was given a summons to appear in court. Salter would not provide the court date on Tuesday. Flanagan has not returned requests for comment, and it was unclear on Tuesday whether she had obtained an attorney. Speaking on He said he gives police credit 'for treating her like everybody else,' and acknowledged Flanagan was incorrect about camera policy. 'She's embarrassed herself – humiliated herself – treated the Newport Police Department horribly,' Neronha said, adding that it was 'inexcusable behavior.' Still, it has been difficult to find and retain 'capable lawyers,' Neronha noted. If Flanagan keeps her job, she will not 'go on as if nothing happened,' Neronha said. 'There'll be a strong sanction here,' he said. Officers can also be seen on the video struggling to apprehend Hannan, 34, of Westport, Conn. She was arrested and charged with willful trespass, disorderly conduct, and resisting arrest – all misdemeanors, police said. Court records show Hannan was arraigned on Friday in Newport County District Court, where a plea of not guilty was entered. She was released on $1,000 personal recognizance and a pre-trial conference is scheduled for Aug. 27. 'Veronica is obviously overwhelmed by this experience. It happened so quickly and with a lot of energy,' John R. Grasso, an attorney representing Hannan, wrote in an email requesting comment on Tuesday. 'Once we have the facts and she processes it, maybe we can speak more then.' Advertisement A now-removed LinkedIn profile listed Hannan as a senior manager for data and AI product management at PepsiCo. PepsiCo did not immediately return a request for comment on Tuesday. Asked about any concerns the ACLU has about government officials making comments to police such as those Flanagan allegedly made, Brown said officials can say 'whatever they want' during run-ins with the law. 'The question is how police officers react and whether they end up giving special treatment to somebody because they're a government official,' Brown said. 'In this case, they didn't.'
