LA HABRA POLICE ARE NOT YOUR FRIENDS, AND THEY ARE NOT THERE TO HELP YOU; ONLY THEM. The La Habra Police Department 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 for various “resistance offenses”. La Habra Police Department beatings of innocents don’t just happen by the officer walking up to a civilian and start pounding their face in. They are almost always triggered by the civilian committing “Contempt of Cop“; verbal protest or verbal challenge to police orders or actions. When that happens, the La Habra Police typically beat-up or tase or pepper-spray the protesting civilian and procure their false and malicious criminal prosecution for “resistance offenses”. These “resistance offenses” are crimes against a police officer that require that the alleged victim officer was “lawfully engaged in the performance of his/her duties”, such as violation of Cal. Penal Code § 69 (resisting officer with force/violence), Cal. Penal Code § 148(a)(1) (resisting/delaying/obstructing a 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 or by means likely to result in great bodily injury). The element of “engaged in the lawful performance of duties” is key, because if you are convicted of any of these above-mentioned “resistance offenses” by plea or verdict, you will always be precluded from suing the police for false arrest (via Heck v. Humphrey, 512 U.S. 477 (1994)), and will almost always be precluded from suing the police for excessive force via the Doctrine of Collateral Estoppel. as to why the police falsely prosecute innocents for “resistance offenses” is the key to why La Habra Police Department police officers SECTION 69 IS THE NEW RESISTANCE OFFENSE “DU JOUR” IN LA HABRA. Section 69 is a “wobbler”; a California public offense that may be filed by the District Attorney’s Office as either a felony or a misdemeanor. Section 69 has now become the bogus arrest offense of choice by today’s police, as they police can charge you with a felony, and make you post bail to get out of jail.
