THE POLICE IN PALOS VERDES ESTATES ARE OFTEN BRUTAL AND ARE INSTITUTIONALLY DISHONEST.

POLICE ABUSE OF RICH WHITE & ASIAN RANCHO PALOS VERDES RESIDENTS.
Notwithstanding the fact that Palos Verdes Estates residents are for the most part well-off White or Asian, not all Palos Verdes Estates Police Department police officers treat them respectfully. When that happens, these well-off White or Asian Palos Verdes Estates residents expect to be treated respectfully by the police, who they politically support.
When the police don’t treat them respectfully, these mostly well-off White or Asian Palos Verdes Estates residents often verbally protest their mistreatment. When that happens, the residents are now deemed to be in “Contempt of Cop”. See, The “Contempt of Cop Game”; How Well Can You Play?, steeringlaw.com. When that happens, these mostly well-off White or Asian Palos Verdes Estates residents end-up getting beaten or tased or pepper-sprayed, and even falsely arrested and maliciously prosecuted. This is not lefty propaganda; this is reality.
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.
