POLICE MISCONDUCT CASES IN KERN COUNTY ARE ESPECIALLY DIFFICULT TO WIN In Kern County, the Courts are as corrupt at the police. Over eight years, more than 50,000 Kern County Superior Court defendants were coerced by Kern County Superior Court Judges to pled guilty without lawyers at their first court appearance; something beyond outrageous. Many of them were innocent, but without a lawyer, what could they do. See, “ACLU Sues Kern County for Operating Plea Mill“, ACLU of Southern California, May 8, 2023. This is extremely problematic in police misconduct cases, where police officers who use excessive force upon civilians typically and routinely procure the false and malicious criminal prosecutions of the victims of their police brutality. When the police use excessive force upon civilians, they only time that they don’t take them directly to jail on trumped-up charges of resisting arrest or battery on a police officer, is when they taken them to the hospital to attend to the broken bones and other injuries suffered by the civilian. Moreover, because the Bakersfield Police Department often deal with local gangsters, the tend to view everyone who they encounter on the street or on their calls for service, as low-life criminals, who deserve a good old-fashioned beating. is a very cruel and brutal entity. There is almost no limit what they will do to protect themselves from the victims of their outrages. They beat, falsely arrest and procure the malicious criminal prosecutions of their victims. BAKERSFIELD POLICE ARE NOT YOUR FRIEND, AND THEY ARE NOT THERE TO HELP YOU; ONLY THEM. Because Bakersfield Police Department officers often deal with local gangsters, and due to a recent series of United States Supreme Court cases, the police can falsely arrest, beat, shoot and even kill anyone they care to. This is no joke, this is reality. Bakersfield Police have a long history of falsely arresting, beating and killing innocents. These days, all police agencies in California shoot persons unjustifiably, and beat and false arrest innocents for “contempt of cop” violations (i.e. verbally protesting or verbally challenging police orders or actions). If you are being criminally prosecuted for a “resistance offense” (i.e. resisting arrest, felony resisting officer with force and violence, and assault on peace officer & battery on a peace officer), chances are that you are being framed for actions / omissions by you that are no crime at all. See, Houston v. Hill, 482 U.S. 451 (1987) (“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“). Nonetheless, the Kern County District Attorney’s Office prosecutes innocents who did nothing more than verbally challenge police officers or actions; contempt of cop. The Kern County District Attorney’s Office feels that they must protect the police from your lawsuit against the police who beat you and falsely arrested you, by prevented you from suing the police by securing your conviction for some sort of resistance offense. After all, no one ever got elected District Attorney by promising to protect the public from the police. It’s just that simple. Mr. Steering has had success in Kern County police misconduct cases, having obtained a $250,000.00 settlement against a Kern County Deputy Sheriff for excessive force responding to a domestic violence call for service in Michael Jackson v. County of Kern, U.S. District Court, Eastern District of California.
