THE POLICE IN RANCHO SANTA MARGARITA ARE OFTEN BRUTAL AND ARE INSTITUTIONALLY DISHONEST.
Rancho Santa Margarita is a city in Orange County, California; one of Orange County’s youngest cities, established in 2000. Rancho Santa Margarita has an estimated population of 47,000 residents.
The demographics of Rancho Santa Margarita are predominantly White 60-65%, significant Hispanic or Latino 20-21%, Asian 12%, Black or African American 1.47%, Native American 0.29% and Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander 0.05%.
The City of Rancho Santa Margarita contracts with the Orange County Sheriff’s Department for its police services. The Orange County Sheriff’s Department who patrol the City of Rancho Santa Margarita deploy out of the Rancho Santa Margarita station located at 22112 El Paseo, Rancho Santa Margarita, California. Captain Dwayne Chapple serves as the Chief of Police Services for the city of Rancho Santa Margarita.
Notwithstanding its upscale demographics, the City of Rancho Santa Margarita has nonetheless has its problems with police misconduct, including wrongful Officer Involved Shootings of civilians. See, Man who died after deputy-involved shooting at Rancho Santa Margarita home is identified, Orange County Register, May 13, 2015 (deputies shooting man in home attempting to kill himself).
After a confrontation, Ouzounian was shot, and later died after being taken to a hospital, Hallock said. Information wasn’t immediately available on who called the Sheriff’s Department and what led to the shooting.
Regardless of whether or not the shooting was actually justified, the Orange County District Attorney’s Office will always find that it was. See, Officer-Involved Shooting Reports, Officer-Involved Shooting Reports Archives, – Orange County District Attorney’s Office.
DON’T BE FOUND TO BE IN “CONTEMPT OF COP” IN RANCHO SANTA MARGARITA.
Although most traffic stops and police encounters with Orange County Sheriff’s Department deputy sheriffs in Rancho Santa Margarita are uneventful, instances of police beatings, tasings, pepper-sprayings, false arrests and malicious criminal prosecutions do occur; especially in “Contempt of Cop” situations.
“Contempt of Cop” situations arise when civilians verbally protest or verbally challenge police orders or actions.
Although verbal protest or verbal challenge of police orders or actions has long been deemed to be constitutionally protected conduct, in the real world with real police officers, when civilians verbally protest or verbally challenge police orders or actions will often then be deemed in “Contempt of Cop“. See, The “Contempt of Cop Game”; How Well Can You Play?, steeringlaw.com.
When a civilian in modern American society is, in the real world, deemed to be in “Contempt of Cop“, they often will be beaten or tased or pepper-sprayed, and then falsely arrested and maliciously prosecuted by the local District Attorney’s Office.
Again, in the real world with real Deputy District Attorneys many persons who are deemed in “Contempt of Cop” will end up finding themselves in court, charged with some fabricated resistance offense, such as violation of Cal. Penal Code § 69 (resisting officer with force), Cal. Penal Code § 148(a)(1) (resisting/delaying/obstructing 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).
This is normal. This happens every day, even in beautiful Orange County, California.
IF YOU ARE THE VICTIM OF POLICE MISCONDUCT, JERRY L. STEERING CAN HELP YOU ACTUALLY ENFORCE YOUR RIGHTS BY WINNING YOUR CASE.
The only thing that matters when enforcing your rights, is whether you win your case. If you don’t win your case, then you have no rights because you have no way to enforce them.
Just 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.
