Encinitas Police Misconduct Attorney Jerry L. Steering has been suing police officers and their employing cities and counties since 1984 for false arrests, police brutality / excessive force, malicious prosecutions and wrongful deaths. Mr. Steering is a Specialist & Expert in suing state and local police officers in federal court for violation of your federal constitutional rights.

Mr. Steering is also an expert on defending bogus resistance offense cases; usually cases for resisting arrest, battery on a peace officer and other crimes against the police and public justice. THE CITY OF ENCINITAS CONTRACTS IT POLICE SERVICES WITH THE SAN DIEGO COUNTY SHERIFF’S DEPARTMENT. Encinitas contracts with the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department for its police services. The San Diego County Sheriff’s Department uses Encinitas as a base to literally beat-up, torture, falsely arrest and maliciously prosecute innocent bar patrons. The Deputy Sheriffs in Encinitas and in the surrounding areas of North San Diego County are vicious and brutal. The same groups of San Diego County Sheriff’s Department Deputy Sheriffs routinely beat-up bar patrons in Encinitas pursuant to the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department “Drunk in Public Sweeps” Program; a program that is totally illegal under California and federal law. Mr. Steering has had several Police Misconduct Civil Rights cases in Encinitas; one of which was the pepper-spraying and choke-out of a San Diego man by San Diego County Sheriff’s Department Deputy Sheriff James Steinmeyer. See, San Diego County Sheriff’s Department Deputy Steinmeyer pepper sprays Bernardo Luque-Villanueva These same deputies also routinely lie for each other on police reports and in court. This is not lefty propaganda; this is reality. ENCINITAS DEPUTY SHERIFFS AT LEAST ATTEMPT TO FRAME THEIR VICTIMS TO PROTECT THEMSELVES FROM CIVIL LIABILITY AND DISGRACE. San Diego County Sheriff’s Department deputy sheriffs assigned to Encinitas are not legal scholars, but they know that a criminal conviction for a “resistance offense” will preclude their innocent but nonetheless falsely convicted victims from successfully suing them for false arrest pursuant to Heck v. Humphrey, 512 U.S. 477 (1994) , and from liability for excessive force pursuant to the doctrine of collateral estoppel. Moreover, unless you can segregate any supposed resistance of an officer to a subsequent police beating (i.e. resistance of officer committed by running away from officer, and when later caught by officer, then beating up the fleeing suspect), a conviction for such a resistance offense will usually also bar one from successfully suing the police for their beating by the police. See, Smith v. City of Hemet, 394 F.3d 689 (9th Cir. 2005). If you are pulled over by a San Diego County Sheriff’s Department deputy sheriffs assigned to Encinitas, basically shut you mouth, be police, cooperate with the deputy and you will probably be in your way to your destination. Otherwise, don’t be surprised when you are struck in your head with a Police baton, or tased, or pepper-sprayed, or falsely arrested for some resistance offense. That is the way to survive in the City of Encinitas in the real world. Don’t be the victim of the Sheriff’s Department in Encinitas. If you are the victim of Police Misconduct, call Jerry L.
