As the old saying goes, “The young lawyer knows the law, but the old lawyer knows the Judge”. THE POLICE IN COLTON ARE OFTEN BRUTAL AND ARE INSTITUTIONALLY DISHONEST. Colton is a city in San Bernardino County, California, with an approximate population of 53,000. The City of Colton has its own police department that is located at 650 N. La Cadena Drive, Colton, California. Unfortunately, the Colton Police Department has a long and well-earned reputation for treating civilians brutally and for falsely arresting its victims. The Colton Police Department also has had its share of unjustified Officer Involved Shootings. See, Colton police shoot, injure woman accused of refusing to leave SUV, setting it on fire, The Press Enterprise, February 14, 2025; Family of man killed by Colton police gets $5.4-million settlement, Los Angeles Times, November 19, 2021; Riverside Woman Shot by Colton Police After Allegedly Setting Fire to Vehicle, Charging Officers with Knife, IE COMMUNITY NEWS, February 13, 2025; Colton to pay $490,000 to settle officer-involved shooting lawsuit, San Bernardino Sun, September 3, 2014; Officers shoot, kill 19-year-old, The Daily Breeze, September 6, 2017. Colton also has its share of criminal street gangs, such as the Colton City Crips; an African American criminal street gang, and the East Side Colton gang, a Hispanic criminal street gang. Because the Colton police have to deal with these criminal street gang members on a daily basis, some of them have adopted the mentality of “We’re the baddest gang in town”. However, most of these incidents of Colton Police Department police officers abusing civilians arise in the context of “Contempt of Cop” situations; situations in which often completely innocent civilians verbally protest or verbally challenge police actions or order. See, The “Contempt of Cop Game”; How Well Can You Play?, steeringlaw. When civilians verbally protest or verbally challenge Colton Police Department police officers’ orders or actions, they are deemed to be in “Contempt of Cop“. When that happens, Colton Police Department police officers will beat or tase or pepper-spray, and falsely arrest and maliciously prosecute their innocent victims for various 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 the weapon). IF YOU ARE THE VICTIM OF POLICE MISCONDUCT, JERRY L.
