As the old saying goes, “The young lawyer knows the law, but the old lawyer knows the Judge”. THE MONTCLAIR POLICE DEPARTMENT IS A BRUTAL AGENCY THAT IS INSTITUTIONALLY DISHONEST. The Montclair Police Department was established in 1956 and has been going downhill ever since. Most Montclair Police Department false arrests usually are the result of a civilian committing “Contempt of Cop“; verbally protesting or verbally challenging police orders or actions; conduct that is constitutionally protected speech. 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”). Contempt of Cop arrests usually are for fabricated “resistance offenses”, such as violation of Cal. Penal Code § 69 (resisting officer with force), 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). Recently, Montclair Police Department officers responded to a home in 4100 block of Mission Boulevard after a 911 call was made around midnight about a man armed with an object. The caller told police that Ibañez appeared to be under the influence of drugs. According to the family and their team of lawyers, Montclair police officers came in and used a Taser and batons to detain Ibañez, killing him. The family claims it was “simply a call for assistance” and no one was in danger. See, Family of man who died after reported police beating in Montclair files wrongful death lawsuit, KABC7 News, September 9, 2023. These calls for service that result in the police beating a mentally ill person to death these days result from today’s police taking no chances at all regarding any possible threat to them. If the police want to arrest someone in a private residence who refuses to come outside, rather than enter the house with bullet-proof shields and Kevlar helmets and machine guns, these days the police just bulldoze the walls in the house down to expose the hiding suspect / warrant target; no joke. Rather than try to diffuse a situation where a mentally ill person is holding an object that could possibly be used as a weapon, they just shoot them. Again, this is not an exaggeration.
