THE POLICE IN SANTEE ARE OFTEN BRUTAL AND ARE INSTITUTIONALLY DISHONEST.

San Diego County Sheriff's Department SWAT 2The City of Santee contracts its police services with the San Diego County Sheriff’s Office, the Santee Station being located at Santee Sheriff’s Station, 8811 Cuyamaca Street, Santee, California. That agency has had its problems with Deputy Involved Shootings in the City of Santee and throughout San Diego County. See, Deputy-involved shooting in Santee (deputy shooting man for reaching for waistband) San Diego Union-Tribune, September 1, 2016; DA Releases Reviews of Six Officer-Involved Shooting Incidents, San Diego County District Attorney’s Office, August 2, 2024; DA Releases Review of Fatal Officer-Involved Shooting in Little Italy, San Diego County District Attorney’s Office, May 25, 2023; Deputies Shoot Auto Theft Suspect Who Brandished a Weapon, San Diego County District Attorney’s Office, April 7, 2023; District Attorney Releases Detailed Reviews of Five Officer-Involved Shootings, San Diego County District Attorney’s Office.

Santee also has its problems with criminal street gangs.

SAN DIEGO COUNTY DRUNK IN PUBLIC SWEEPSMost of the violence and false arrests by San Diego County Sheriff’s Office deputies against civilians arise in the context of “Contempt of Cop” situations; situations involving verbal protest and verbal challenge to police orders or actions. See, The “Contempt of Cop Game”; How Well Can You Play?.

If you are stopped by San Diego County Sheriff’s Office deputy sheriffs the best thing to do is shut your mouth, be polite and respectful to the deputy, do what they say, and you will probably come out alright. Otherwise, be prepared to be beaten or tased or pepper-sprayed, and falsely arrested and maliciously prosecuted for some fabricated “resistance offense”, such as violation of such as violation of Cal. Penal Code § 69 (resisting officer with force), Cal. Penal Code § 148(a)(1) (resisting/delaying/obstructing an officer), Cal. Penal Code § 240/241 (assault on officer), Cal. Penal Code § 242 / 243(b) & (c) (battery on an officer causing injury) and Cal. Penal Code § 245(c) (assault on officer with weapon).

Screen Capture from LA ABC 7 Interview of JLS on Jovan Jimenez caseJust because the police violated your constitutional rights doesn’t mean that you can do anything about it. In order to “do something about it”, to enforce your constitutional rights, it takes a great deal of experience, insights, skill and savvy. You need a unanimous jury of usually 8 jurors to vote in your favor in federal court to win your case. If you mouth-off to the cops or don’t do what the police tell you to do or cuss out the cops, or act like a jerk, one or more of the jurors in your case may not vote for you. That is the reality in which we all live.
