As the old saying goes, “The young lawyer knows the law, but the old lawyer knows the Judge”.

THE POLICE IN EASTVALE ARE OFTEN BRUTAL AND ARE INSTITUTIONALLY DISHONEST.

Eastvale is a city located in northwestern Riverside County, California that has an estimated population of 70,000. Eastvale began transitioning from dairy farms to a developed community starting in the 1990s, and was incorporated as a City on October 1, 2010.

The City of Eastvale contracts with the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department for its police services. The Deputy Sheriff’s who patrol Eastvale deploy out of the Jurupa Valley Sheriff’s Station located at 7477 Mission Boulevard, Jurupa Valley, California.

Riverside-County-Sheriff-Chad-Bianco-greets-Riverside-County-District-Attorney-Mike-HestrinUnfortunately, especially since Chad Bianco was elected Sheriff in 2018, the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department has become a brutal and completely corrupt police agency. The election of Chad Bianco ushered in a new era at the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department for police brutality, false arrests and malicious criminal prosecutions of the victims of outrages committed by that agency’s deputy sheriffs.

As they say, fish rot from the head down, and Sheriff Bianco has turned the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department into a truly rotten police agency. Sheriff Bianco has made the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department “completely corrupt” in the sense that the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department encourages its deputy sheriffs to literally frame the victims of deputy beatings and false arrests for various “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).

The Riverside County Sheriff’s Department has an actual policy of illegally and feloniously withholding highly exculpatory information, documents and recordings from those innocent people who they maliciously prosecute to prevent them from suing Riverside County. For example, in any incident in which Riverside County Sheriff’s Department use force and violence on a civilian, the deputy authors a “Use of Force Form”, and the deputies’ Patrol Sergeant authors a “Supervisor’s Use of Force Memorandum”.

The deputy’s “Use of Force Form” describes what force was used by that deputy, and why they did so.

Riverside County Deputy District Attorneys being sworn in 2The Patrol Sergeant’s “Supervisor’s Use of Force Memorandum” contains the deputies’ statements to their Patrol Sergeant at the scene of the incident about what force they used and why they did so.

When the also creepy and highly corrupt Riverside County District Attorney’s Office then prosecutes the victim of a police beating or tasing or pepper-spraying or even a shooting for some fabricated “resistance offense”, the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department has an actual policy of not only failing to provide the deputy’s “Use of Force Form” and the “Supervisor’s Use of Force Memorandum” from the Riverside County District Attorney’s Office, but also to deny the existence of those forms. This withholding of what is usually highly exculpatory evidence violates Cal. Penal Code § 1054.1, federal constitutional law (Brady v. Maryland, 373 U.S. 83 (1963)) and is a federal felony under 18 U.S.C. § 242.

However, in the real world, there is no one watching the watchman. Who is going to do anything about these outrages by the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department? The California Attorney General’s Office? The United States Department of Justice? The Pope? Batman?

Moreover, the Riverside County District Attorney’s Office does its best to falsely and maliciously criminally prosecute police beating, tasing and pepper-spraying victims for these “resistance offenses”, to preclude them from being able to successfully sue the deputies and officers who committed these outrages against civilians, via Heck v. Humphrey, 512 U.S. 477 (1994)(any conviction precludes civil claim for false arrest) and via the Doctrine of Collateral Estoppel (cannot relitigate issues of fact or law determined against one in prior judicial proceeding).
