Tel: (949) 474-1849. Oceanside Police Officers Are Brutal, Dishonest and Know How to Get You Criminally Prosecuted When You Are the Real Victim of Their Beatings and False Arrests. Most of the time when the police beat-you-up or falsely arrest you, or otherwise violate your constitutional rights, they at least attempt to procure your malicious criminal prosecution, to protect themselves and their fellow officers and employing agency from civil liability. Accordingly, Mr. Steering has been involved in literally thousands of criminal “resistance offense” cases, such as violations of Cal. Penal Cod §§ 69 (felony resisting officer with threat or use of force or violence, a wobbler), 148(a)(1) (misdemeanor resisting or obstructing or delay peace officer), 240/241(c) (assault of peace officer), 242/243(b) & (c) (misdemeanor and felony battery on peace officer) and 245(c) (assault on peace officer with deadly weapon or by means likely to result in great bodily injury). Oceanside Police Officers are no different. If you tell them that you know your rights, they are going to show you that you don’t have any rights, when they tase you or beat you with a baton, or punch your lights out with their fists, and thereafter take you to the Vista Detention Center on bogus criminal charges for some “resistance offense”, for what is known in the police profession as “Contempt of Cop“. Mr. Steering has litigated police misconduct cases in federal court in San Diego (the United States District Court for the Southern District of California) for many years now. Unfortunately, because so many residents of San Diego County are current and former military, jurors in police misconduct / civil rights trial against the police are very difficult to win. They love the cops in San Diego County, and at the end of the day, it doesn’t matter what the law says, or what the Judge says, or what the jury instructions say, or even what the evidence shows, if a jury of mostly white cop-loving jurors don’t vote for you, and don’t condemn the actions of the defendant police officers and deputy sheriffs. All that does matter in the real world, is whether a civil jury unanimously votes for you. Otherwise, you have no rights, because your rights only exist to the extent that you can get a jury of mostly white cop-loving jurors vote for you in your civil rights trial. Rights without a remedy (i.e. getting a jury to vote for you) are no rights at all. Mr. Steering can maximize your chances of winning your case against the police for violating your federal and state constitutional and statutory rights, due to his intellect, tenacity and many years of experience in suing the police; since 1984.
