THE ONLY THING THAT MATTERS IN POLICE MISCONDUCT CIVIL RIGHTS CASE IS WHETHER YOU WIN OR LOSE. In the end, the only thing that matters in Police Misconduct Civil Rights case is whether you win or lose, because if you can’t win your case, you have no constitutional rights, because you have no way to enforce those rights. A right without a remedy is no right at all. As Chief Justice John Marshall stated to in 1803 when he established the landmark principle of Judicial Review; declaring the actions of the Executive and Legislative branches of the American Republic: “It is a general and indisputable rule that where there is a legal right, there is also a legal remedy by suit or action at law whenever that right is invaded.” Chief Justice John Marshall, Marbury v. Madison, 5 U.S. 137 (1803). The converse of that proposition is also true; where there is no remedy, there is no right. That being said, the law is not what is says, but what it does. It doesn’t matter what they teach you in school, or what’s in a lawbook, or on the internet, or in the news. All that does matter is what happens to real people with real cases, with real judges and real juries. In the end, if you cannot get a jury to vote for you and against the police, you have no rights, because you have no way to enforce them. For various reasons discussed below, more often than not, in the real world in police misconduct civil rights cases, they win and you lose. In the real world, you really do (almost) have no rights. THE POLICE IN LOS ANGELES, AND ESPECIALLY IN HOLLYWOOD, ARE BRUTAL AND CORRUPT In the movie “Training Day“, Denzel Washington, plays a real-life Los Angeles Police Department Police Officer Rafael Perez who worked out of the LAPD Rampart Division CRASH Anti-Gang Unit. What was known as “The Rampart Scandal”, the Rampart Station’s CRASH Anti-Gang Unit attempted to take over the narcotics business in Central Los Angeles by killing and framing suspected gangster drug dealers. See, Rampart, 7 years later, Los Angeles Daily News, August 29, 2017. When Rafael Perez was eventually arrested and turned states evidence, over 100 convictions of real criminals in Los Angeles County Superior Court were overturned because they were framed by Rafael Perez and his pals at the LAPD CRASH Anti-Gang Unit. In 2004, Mr. Steering obtained an $850,000.00 award from the City of Los Angeles for a young man who Rafael Perez attempted to frame for a murder that took place in a McDonald’s restaurant in Central Los Angeles. Jorge Alvarez v. City of Los Angeles, et al., U.S. District Court (Los Angeles). LAPD PROSTITUTION STING OPERATIONS ARE THE MAINSTAY OF LAPD ACTIONS IN THE HOLLYWOOD AREA OF LOS ANGELES. Most of the criminal cases that come out of the Hollywood area of Los Angeles are prostitution and solicitation of prostitution. This is no surprise. There are hookers on just about every street corner in Hollywood. However, some of them are female LAPD Police Department officer decoys. In order to secure more convictions of innocents, the LAPD stopped audio recording the actual solicitation so that is only one side of the story; LAPD’s side. So, don’t speak to any ladies in any street corners in Hollywood if you want to avoid a solicitation of prostitution arrest. IF YOU ARE THE VICTIM OF POLICE MISCONDUCT, JERRY L.
