Mr. Steering in an Expert and Specialist in suing the police in federal court for constitutional violations in the City of Grand Terrace, throughout San Bernardino County, and throughout the State of California.

Mr. Steering’s many years of experience and acquired knowledge can help you maximize your chances of actually winning your Police Misconduct Civil Rights case, and winning is the only thing that matters.  If you cannot win your Civil Rights Police Misconduct Lawsuit then you have no rights, because you have no way to enforce them. A right without a real-world remedy (i.e. winning your case) is no right at all; at least for you.

It doesn’t matter what the law states, or what the Judge says, or what the jury instructions say, or even what the evidence shows, if a jury of 8 cop-loving jurors is not going to unanimously vote for you in your federal court Police Misconduct Civil Rights case.

As the old saying goes, “The young lawyer knows the law, but the old lawyer knows the Judge” and Mr. Steering’s understanding the technical and practical legal landscape of Police Misconduct Civil Rights cases will dramatically increase your chances of winning your case; of actually enforcing your constitutional rights.

THE POLICE IN GRAND TERRANCE ARE OFTEN BRUTAL AND ARE INSTITUTIONALLY DISHONEST.

San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department SWAT 6Grand Terrace is a city in San Bernardino County, California with an estimated population of 13,000 residents. The City of Grand Terrace contracts with the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department for its police services. That agency has a longstanding tradition of brutality, false arrests and malicious criminal prosecutions. See, Suspect shot by deputies in armed standoff in Grand Terrace dies, Riverside Press Enterprise, July 28, 2017; Deputies shoot allegedly armed suspect in Grand Terrace, KCAL News February 15, 2023; Deputy shoots Grand Terrace woman who reportedly held a gun, The Press-Enterprise, February 16, 2023; San Bernardino County deputy shoots assault suspect; 2 are hospitalized, Los Angeles Times, February 15, 2023; Suspect shot in shootout with SWAT team after standoff at Grand Terrace home, KABC 7 Eyewitness News, July 28, 2017.

Grand Terrance also has its problems with the proliferation of criminal street gangs.

San Beranrdino County Sheriff's Department Gang Smash team - CopyBecause San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department deputy sheriffs have to deal with criminal street gangsters on a daily basis, and because the deputies with that agency usually work the first few years with that agency in the San Bernardino County Jails, many San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department deputy sheriffs become so jaded that they treat nice law-abiding civilians like street hoods.

Nice law-abiding civilians do not like being treated like gangsters, and when so treated they often verbally protest and verbally challenge draconian police actions and orders. When that happens, those nice law-abiding civilians are now deemed in “Contempt of Cop“. See, The “Contempt of Cop Game”; How Well Can You Play? When that happens, those nice law-abiding civilians are now often beaten or tased or pepper-sprayed, and falsely arrested and maliciously prosecuted for some imaginary fabricated “resistance offense” such as violation of Cal. Penal Code § 69 (resisting officer with force), Cal. Penal Code § 148(a)(1) (resisting/delaying/obstructing 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).

This is not lefty propaganda; this is reality.

Screen Capture from LA ABC 7 Interview of JLS on Jovan Jimenez caseThe only thing that matters when enforcing your rights, is whether you win your case. If you don’t win your case, then you have no rights because you have no way to enforce them. 

Just because the police violated your constitutional rights doesn’t mean that you can do anything about it. In order to “do something about it”, to enforce your constitutional rights, it takes a great deal of experience, insights, skill and savvy. You need a unanimous jury of usually 8 jurors to vote in your favor in federal court to win your case. If you mouth-off to the cops or don’t do what the police tell you to do or cuss out the cops, or act like a jerk, one or more of the jurors in your case may not vote for you. That is the reality in which we all live.
