Linda Vista (Spanish for “Pretty View”) is a community in San Diego, California. Located east of Mission Bay, north of Mission Valley, and south-east of Tecolote Canyon, it lies on a mesa overlooking Mission Valley to the south and Mission Bay and the Pacific Ocean to the west. It is home to the University of San Diego.

The Linda Vista neighborhood of San Diego is patrolled by the San Diego Police Department; an agency with a longstanding and well-earned reputation for brutality and unaccountably.
San Diego is a community with a very large percentage of its population being in or attached to the United States Military, primarily the Navy and the Marines. People affiliated with the military more often than not are very “pro-police”, especially when they serve on juries.
In police misconduct civil rights cases, at the end of the day is whether the plaintiff can get a unanimous jury to vote for them in their civil trial in federal court. The San Diego Police Department know this all too well. San Diego Police Department police officers count on a federal court jury voting for them when they beat, shoot, tase, pepper-spray, and falsely arrest and procure the malicious criminal prosecution of their victims. This is not lefty propaganda; this is reality.
Most of the time when San Diego Police Department police officers violate the constitutional rights of civilians is during “contempt of cop” situations, when civilians verbally protest or verbally challenge police orders and actions. See, The “Contempt of Cop Game”; How Well Can You Play?, steeringlaw.com.
Although verbal protest or verbal challenge of police orders and actions have long been held to be constitutionally protected conduct (See, City of Houston v. Hill, 482 U.S. 451 (1987)), that doesn’t mean the police and the District Attorney’s Office is not going to falsely arrest you or maliciously prosecute you for doing so.
IF YOU ARE THE VICTIM OF POLICE MISCONDUCT, JERRY L. STEERING CAN HELP YOU ACTUALLY ENFORCE YOUR RIGHTS BY WINNING YOUR CASE.
The 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.
