THE POLICE IN MORENO VALLEY ARE OFTEN BRUTALITY AND ARE INSTITUTIONALLY DISHONEST.

Moreno Valley is a city in Riverside County, California, and is part of the Riverside–San Bernardino–Ontario metropolitan area, also known as the “Inland Empire“. It is the second-largest city in Riverside County with an estimated population of 210,000. The City of Moreno Valley contracts its police services with the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department, who deploys out of the Moreno Valley Station located at 22850 Calle San Juan De Los Lagos, Moreno Valley, California.

Although there are quite a few decent deputy sheriffs with the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department, ever since Riverside County Sheriff Chad Biano took over at that agency, beatings, false arrests and malicious criminal prosecutions to protect the violating police officers are the order of the day. This is no joke.

For example, these days, if the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department is attempting to arrest someone in a house and the person refuses to exit, they just smash in the walls of the home until there is no place left to hide with its TAC-CAT vehicle.

Also, when the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department commits outrages against civilians, they need not worry, because the Riverside County District Attorney’s will criminally prosecute those victims of police outrages. The Riverside County District Attorney’s Office has a “CAPO” Unit of Deputy District Attorneys who have all “drank the Cool-Aid”. 

Riverside-County-Sheriff-Chad-Bianco-greets-Riverside-County-District-Attorney-Mike-HestrinUnder the Doctrine of Collateral Estoppel once an issue of fact has been adjudicated against you in a prior case, you cannot relitigate that issue in a subsequent court case. Because all “resistance offenses” require that the officer being acting lawfully (i.e. not unlawfully detaining or arresting one, or using excessive force or otherwise acting unlawfully), if one is convicted of a “resistance offense”, there has been an adjudication that the officer was acting lawfully. Therefore, you are now precluded from claiming in civil case against the officer that the officer unlawfully detained or arrested you, or used excessive force upon you, or otherwise acting unlawfully, save very few exceptions, such as in Smith v. City of Hemet, 394 F.3d 689 (9th Cir. 2005).

Moreover, if you are convicted of any crime, even if the police did not have a warrant or probable cause to arrest you, you are still precluded from suing the police for false arrest via the Doctrine of Heck v. Humphrey, 512 U.S. 477 (1994).
