As the old saying goes, “The young lawyer knows the law, but the old lawyer knows the Judge” THE POLICE IN LAGUNA NIGUEL ARE BRUTAL AND INSTITUTIONALLY DISHONEST. The City of Laguna Niguel contracts its police services with the Orange County Sheriff’s Department. The City of Laguna Niguel is also affluent area, with a mostly white and some Asian population. One would think that with that type of low crime area and generally educated residents, that the police would be fairly respectful of those with whom they contact there. Unfortunately, that is not always the case. Todays police are endowed with awesome power; sometimes more power than a judge. For example, a Judge cannot order that a person be temporarily detained for investigation to determine whether the person is engaged in “criminality afoot” (that the person just committed a crime, or is in the process of committing a crime, or has just committed a crime). A judge can only order that a person be arrested (i.e. taken into custody and taken to jail) if the Judge had “probable cause” to believe that the person had committed a crime. However, a “Peace Officer” (i.e. a police officer or deputy sheriff may temporarily) “detain” a person and pat them down for weapons when the Peace Officer has a “reasonable suspicion of criminality afoot” of the civilian. In today’s real world, with real judges, “reasonable suspicion” doesn’t take very much. The slightest suspicion will in today’s world justify the detention and frisk of a civilian, even though they might be totally innocent. When police officers use their awesome power to detain and frisk totally innocent and law-abiding civilians, very often the totally innocent and law-abiding civilian will express their shock and displeasure of being “treated like a criminal”. When such verbal protest and verbal challenge to police orders and actions happen, even by rich white totally innocent and law-abiding civilians, they then deemed by the police to be in “Contempt of Cop“. When that happens, police beatings, pepper-sprayings, tasings and false arrests occur. This is why even in the nice affluent white suburb of Laguna Niguel totally innocent and law-abiding people may suffer police beatings, pepper-sprayings, tasings and false arrests by Orange County Sheriff’s Department deputy sheriffs; no joke. Just because you haven’t committed a crime, don’t think that you will not be beaten, or pepper-sprayed or tased, or falsely arrested, even in Laguna Niguel.
