As the old saying goes, “The young lawyer knows the law, but the old lawyer knows the Judge”. THE POLICE IN WILDOMAR ARE OFTEN BRUTAL AND ARE INSTITUTIONALLY DISHONEST. Wildomar is a city in southwest Riverside County, California. The City of Wildomar was incorporated on July 1, 2008 and has an estimated population of 37,000. The City of Wildomar contracts for its police services with the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department. The Riverside County Sheriff’s Department deputy sheriffs who patrol the streets of Wildomar deploy out of the Lake Elsinore Station, that is located at 333 Limited St, Lake Elsinore, California Unfortunately, that agency is not only often brutal and guilty of false arrests of innocents, but also is so institutionally corrupt that the Department deliberately withholds highly exculpatory evidence from its innocent victims of various resistance offenses that it criminally prosecutes. This is not lefty propaganda. This is reality. Even since Chad Bianco became the elected Sheriff of Riverside County his deputies have been given carte blanche to commit outrageous acts of brutality and false arrests upon innocent civilians who are only “guilty” of exercising their federal constitutional right to verbally protest or verbally challenge police actions or orders. See, Houston v. Hill, 482 U.S. 451 (1987) where the great Associate United States Supreme Court Justice, William Brennan, who defined one of the tenets of American liberty; the right to verbally protest and verbally challenge police actions and orders. In striking down a City of Houston, Texas Municipal Ordinance that criminalized interrupting a Houston Police Officer in the performance of his/her duties, speaking for the U.S. Supreme Court Justice Brennan held: “The freedom of individuals verbally to oppose or challenge police action without thereby risking arrest is one of the principal characteristics by which we distinguish a free nation from a police state.” The Houston ordinance is much more sweeping than the municipal ordinance struck down in Lewis. It is not limited to fighting words nor even to obscene or opprobrious language but prohibits speech that “in any manner . . . interrupt[s]” an officer. The Constitution does not allow such speech to be made a crime. The freedom of individuals verbally to oppose or challenge police action without thereby risking arrest is one of the principal characteristics by which we distinguish a free nation from a police state.” Most of these deputy beatings of innocents take place in the context of “Contempt of Cop” situations; situations where the officers act inappropriately aggressively or abuse toward a civilian who then verbally protests or verbally challenges police actions and orders. When that happens, the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department deputy sheriffs deem the innocent civilian to be in “Contempt of Cop“. When that happens, these deputies beat or tase or pepper-spray or even shoot these innocent civilians, falsely arrests them for some “resistance offense” such as as violation of Cal. Penal Code § 69 (resisting officer with force), Cal. Penal Code § 148(a)(1) (resisting/delaying/obstructing a officer), Cal. Penal Code § 240/241 (assault on officer), Cal. Penal Code § 242 / 243(b) & (c) (battery on officer causing injury) and Cal. Penal Code § 245(c) (assault on officer with weapon). Thereafter, the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department intentionally withholds highly exculpatory evidence such as the Supervisor’s Use of Force Memorandum and the Deputy’s Use of Force Form from the Riverside County District Attorney’s Office. Both the landmark case of Brady v. Maryland, 373 U.S. 83 (1963) and Cal. Penal Code § 1054.1 mandate that evidence such as the Supervisor’s Use of Force Memorandum and the Deputy’s Use of Force Form be disclosed to a criminal defendant, even in the absence of a request by the criminal defendant. Nonetheless, the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department intentionally withholds these items of highly exculpatory evidence in criminal “resistance offense” criminal case. Again, this is not left propaganda, but reality. IF YOU ARE THE VICTIM OF POLICE MISCONDUCT, JERRY L. STEERING CAN HELP YOU.
