Are computers and smartphones subject to tariffs? Yes, but it's a little complicated. Friday the US Customs and Border Protection agency said electronics manufacturers will not have to face the newest tariffs that have been invoked by the US in retaliation for tariffs already in place by other nations, but the statement mentioned only those retaliatory tariffs, it didn't mention that electronics will have their own separate category.

Charges may be filed against a man who stopped his car in the middle of Ley Road late Saturday night and apparently fell asleep. About 1 am, with the car parked in traffic lane, a motorcyclist coming from behind had to take evasive measures to keep from hitting the parked vehicle. The abrupt swerve threw the motorcyclist and his passenger off the cycle and onto pavement and gravel. The motorcyclist and the driver of the SUV are said to be okay, but the passenger on the motorcycle was killed.

Then regular officers raided the club, serving a search warrant.
