CYBERSECURITY AND THE LAW - A PRIMER : CHARLES JEROME WARE, LLC, ATTORNEYS & COUNSELORS

www.charlesjeromeware.com             "Here to make a difference."

Unfortunately, neither the law nor technical counter-measures have completely caught up with the numerous cybersecurity risks that are present in our society. Cybersecurity has become a major deal in so-called industrialized and technology-sensitive countries and societies. Individuals, companies, and even countries now have to worry about cybersecurity risks.

There are developing laws that govern the steps that potential or actual victims of Internet intrusions can take in response to potential or actual intrusions. Some of these laws deal with liability for computer intrusions, both for the perpetrator and the victim. Executive agencies, too, have been more active in promulgating standards and bringing regulatory enforcement actions relating to cybersecurity practices. Generally, U.S. government network providers must be more diligent in handling special cybersecurity issues. And, more cautious, since monitoring may implicate the Fourth Amendment.

Regardless of whether the issue is law or technology defenses, cybersecurity is only as good as the weakest link, and all too often that link is people. To ensure a safer environment, there are a number of processes that should be implemented for security purposes:

(1) Create a formal security policy and some procedures for yourself, office or home.
(2) Educate your employees, partners and family members.
(3) Test and practice your incident response plan.
(4) Keep your software up-to-date.

It is said that by the year 2020,  99% of computer vulnerabilities exploited will continue to be ones known by security and IT professionals for at least one year.

Be very careful and follow these suggestions:
 (1) Design security into your software is a good first step.
 (2) Control your "access control" to your devices to the fewest people possible.
 (3) Encryption is frequently called the backbone of cybersecurity strategies. Encryption is the process of making data unreadable through the use of algorithms to create complex codes.
 (4) A combination of security information management (SIM) and security event management (SEM), security information and event management (SIEM) software and services provide real-time analysis of security alerts generated by applications and network hardware.
(5) Data Loss Prevention (DLPs) software or strategies will help ensure that people do not send critical or restricted information outside the company network.
(6) A FIREWALL --- either in hardware or software, or in a combination of both --- is a network security system that uses rules to control incoming and outgoing network traffic and prevent unauthorized access.
(7) Get an Intrusion Detection System (IDS), which is intended to detect network or system attacks in progress, and assist in post-attack forensics.
(8) And, of course, get good Antivirus (AV) Software to detect and destroy viruses.

Driving under the influence of alcohol (DUI), or "drunk driving", is probably the most commonly committed crime in the United States.  Yet, it is most frequently committed by noncriminals  --- in other words, by the otherwise respectable citizen who has never been in trouble before with the law.
Increasingly, though, DUI laws and law enforcement have become more harsh towards drunk drivers.

Though probably among the most common of all offenses, drunk driving is one of the most complex to understand and defend properly.  The personal and professional stakes are high; and a unique system of legal standards and procedures exists in drunk driving cases that, quite frankly. is geared to facilitate a conviction against the accused.

The key Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) that meets just about all state standards, including Maryland, for a DUI charge is 0.08 % or higher.  For the lesser DWI (Driving While Intoxicated) charge in Maryland, the standard BAC is between 0.04 % and 0.08 %.

A first-offense DUI in Maryland carries a maximum jail sentence up to 1 year; fines and penalties up to $1,000; and a minimum MVA drivers license suspension of 6 months. A first-offense DWI in Maryland carries a maximum jail sentence up to 2 months; fines and penalties up to  $500; and a minimum license suspension up to  6 months. Obviously, the penalties increase with 2nd and 3rd, etc., convictions.


The more common defenses against drunk driving charges involve challenging the police officers' actions and observations of what happened prior to the DUI arrest, or challenging the admissibility and integrity of the evidence. Popular DUI defenses include: improper police stop of the driver; improper and inaccurate administration of the field sobriety tests; improper and inaccurate administration of the breathalyzer tests; improper and inaccurate administration of the blood tests and their chain of custody; improper police actions which violated the defendant's civil rights; etc.

Some affirmative DUI defenses may include : necessity; duress; entrapment; mistake of fact; involuntary intoxication, etc.

Call us if you need us at (410) 720-629  or  (410) 730-5016. Our initial consultation is free.

Obviously, the best way to avoid a DUI this holiday season in Maryland and anywhere else is to not drink alcoholic beverages and drive. But, realistically, we know that once Halloween comes and the holiday season gears up, almost endless opportunities abound for celebration and drinking. A few tips and reminders may be in order to help avoid your DUI or DWI arrest.

1. First, as stated above, do not drink and drive. Admittedly, this is not the most attractive option.
2. IF you choose to drink, get a designated driver (a friend, for example, who must be sober).
3. IF you choose to drive, a second option to #2 above may be to get a taxicab, or Uber, or other safe public transportation.
4. Plan to stay with a friend overnight, or get a hotel room.
5. Stay home and drink.
6. IF you are one of those persons determined to drink and drive. at least try to stay under  0.08 % BAC level by doing the following:
                  - Eating while drinking alcohol;
                  - Drinking lots of water;
                  - Pacing yourself;  and
                  - Putting a little time between your last drink and your driving.

[This information is not presented as legal advice and does not create an attorney-client relationship]

All federal and state codes prohibit the possession of certain drugs whether it is marijuana, methamphetamine, or even the unlawful possession of prescription medication.

Maryland has decriminalized the possession of marijuana to an extent, making possession of small amounts (less than 10 grams) a civil offense --- subject to a fine ---, similar to a moving vehicle violation. Possession of other drugs can lead to severe penalties, depending upon the amounts possessed and whether intent to distribute is established.

Maryland penalties by drug type and amount :

(1) Possession of all controlled substances (not marijuana) such as herion, cocaine and methamphetamine is considered a misdemeanor with maximum penalties of up to 4 years, and/or $25,000. Transporting 28 grams or more into the state is a felony with penalties of up to $50,000 and/or 25 years. Subsequent offenses double the penalties.

(2)  Marijuana possession of less than 10 grams is a civil citation offense with a maximum penalty fine of $100.
Marijuana possession of 10 grams to less than 50 lb. is a misdemeanor with penalties up to one year in jail and a fine up to $1,000.
Marijuana possession over 50 lbs. is a felony with penalties up to 5 years imprisonment and fines up to $100,000.

BALTIMORE LANDLORD LIABILITY FOR LEAD POISONING : TITLE 10

www.charlesjeromeware.com            "Here to make a difference.'

If you or someone you know have been sued for lead poisoning, call us for a free initial consultation at the Law Offices of Charles Jerome Ware, LLC : (410) 720-6129 or (410) 730-5016. We can help you.

In recognition that health problems can be caused by lead (Pb) poisoning, the Residential Lead-Based Paint Hazard Reduction Act, commonly known as TITLE 10, was enacted in 1992 ( 42U.S.C.4852d).

Congress directed the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to write regulations specifying how TITLE 10's goal
of lead hazard reduction should be accomplished (24 CFR Part 35 and 40 CFR Part 745).

The regulations apply to rental property built before 1978.

The regulations specify that, before signing a lease or rental agreement, you must give every new tenant the EPA pamphlet, Protect Your Family From Lead In Your Home. Both the landlord and the tenant must sign an EPA-approved form --- Disclosure of Information on Lead-Based Paint and/or Lead-Based Paint Hazards --- that will prove that the landlord told the tenant about any known lead-based paint or lead-based paint hazards ( or sign an equivalent form selected by your state).

This disclosure for must be kept as part of  the landlord's records for at least three years from the date of the start of the tenancy.

BALTIMORE LEAD PAINT PROBLEM - SIMPLIFIED : LANDLORD DEFENSE ATTORNEYS, CHARLES JEROME WARE, LLC, (410) 720-6129

www.charlesjeromeware.com           "Here to make a difference."

If you or someone you know has been sued for lead poisoning, call us at the Law Offices of Charles Jerome Ware, LLC for a free consultation. We can help you.

Baltimore has a lead (Pb) problem. And, it has had a lead problem for a number of years because of the frequent use of lead for industrial, residential, and other commercial purposes. Lead has a long life-span; therefore, it can hang around in buildings, ground and the air for a long time.

Excessive exposure to lead-base paint and lead-tainted water, for example, can lead to serious health problems, particularly in children up to about age 6 or 7. Brain damage, attention disorders and hyperactivity have all been associated with lead poisoning. Landlords who are found responsible for lead poisoning may face liability for a child's life-long disability. Jury awrds and settlements for lead poisoning are typically enormous, because they can cover remedial treatment and education of a child for the rest of his or her life, and include an award for the estimated "loss of earning" capacity caused by the injury. The cost of a typical "slip and fall" injury pales in comparison to some of the multi-million dollar injury awards and settlements for lead poisoning cases.

If you are a landlord or owner who is being sued for lead-based paint poisoning, we encourage you to contact us for a free initial defense consultation at (410) 720-6129 or (410) 730-5016. We can help you.

BLACK FARMERS vs. USDA : CLASS ACTION UPDATE by BLACK FARMER ATTORNEY CHARLES JEROME WARE [Maryland & D.C.]

www.charlesjeromeware.com      " Here to make a Difference."

Decades after the original filing of their class action discrimination lawsuit against the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), and years after execution of the Consolidated Case Settlement Agreement , African-American farmers continue to get  lesser treatment from the federal court, the USDA, class counsel, as well as the settlement process --- as this tragic, long-running  discrimination saga draws to a close.  For example ;

The undistributed leftover settlement funds allegedly amounted to approximately $12 million, according to federal judge-appointed class counsel. This same class counsel announced that these leftover funds would be placed in a so-called "Cy Pres Fund" [Charity Fund] and " will be made available to eligible tax-exempt nonprofit organizations serving African-American farmers and/or ranchers according to the intent of the Consolidated Case Settlement Agreement."

The bottom-line is that these so-called "leftover settlement funds" will not be going to the already-underpaid victims in this class action litigation : the Black Farmers.

   - Claiming non-infringement;
   - Citing prior use, first sale or repair doctrines, inequitable conduct,
      patent misuse, or limitation on rights;

If you have been  sued in a lead paint case, call us for a free consultation at (410) 720-6129. We can help defend you in these actions.

Maryland ---- and particularly Baltimore City --- is popularly known by many commentators as being "ground zero" for lead paint poisoning claims against residential landlords and property owners.  In fact, some judges, commentators and officials have suggested that in certain circumstances lead poisoning cases are "indefensible". We respectfully disagree. Preparation, maintenance and tenant notice are the three keys to successful residential landlord defense against lead poisoning claims.

Maryland and Federal Laws about lead paint are designed to reduce childhood lead poisoning while maintaining affordable rental housing. These laws provide rights and duties for renters and property owners in pre-1078 built residential rental properties/units (aka, "affected properties").

The houses and apartments that are covered by Maryland's lead paint laws are only the ones that were pre-1978 built and regulated by the Maryland Reduction of Lead Risk in Housing Act. Owner-occupied properties/units are nor regulated.

Affected properties/units that are Maryland Department of the Environment ("MDE")- certified lead-free or limited lead-free are exempt from Maryland's lead paint laws.. Affected properties/units owned or operated by Federal, State, or local governments, or by a public, quasi-public, or municipal corporation are also exempt, provided the affected properties are subject to standards at least as strict as the standards established in Maryland lead paint law [Maryland Code Ann., Environment, Sections 6-801,6-803 and 6-806].
