As the old saying goes, “The young lawyer knows the law, but the old lawyer knows the Judge”. THE POLICE IN PERRIS, CALIFORNIA, ARE THERE TO PROTECT AND SERVE THEM, NOT YOU. The City of Perris used to have its own Police Department, but that department treated even totally innocent residents of Perris like street gangsters. In fact, the “Badest Gang in Town” was the Perris Police Department. The Perris Police Department was a brutal police agency that was out of control and became an unmanageable agency that cost the City millions of dollars from lawsuits for acts of brutality, false arrests and wrongful deaths caused by the rogue officers at Perris PD. On April 11, 1996, the City of Perris disbanded its troubled its own police department and began contracting with the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department to provide police services for the city, deployed out of the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department’s Perris Station. The Perris station was formed out of jurisdictions previously policed by Jurupa Valley, Lake Elsinore, Southwest and Hemet Stations, and it located at 137 N. Perris Blvd., Perris, California. Presently the station offers police services for the city of Perris and the unincorporated communities of Gavilan Hills, Glen Valley, Good Hope, Homeland, Juniper Flats, Lake Mathews, Lakeview, Meadowbrook, Nuevo, Mead Valley, and Romoland. For a while the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department’s police services was about as brutal and dishonest as your average Southern California police agency. However, with the election of Riverside County Sheriff’s Department Sheriff Chad Bianco in 2018, things turned for the worse for the citizens of Perris, California and for the rest of Riverside County. The election of Chad Bianco ushered in a new era at the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department for brutality, false arrest and malicious criminal prosecutions of those innocent victims of police outrages. 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. After Chad Bianco became the Sheriff of Riverside County, persons deemed to have committed “Contempt of Cop” (verbal protest and verbal challenge of police orders or actions), have been routinely beaten, tased and pepper-sprayed, and thereafter falsely arrested and maliciously prosecuted 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 weapon). 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).
