THE POLICE IN SAN MARCOS ARE OFTEN BRUTAL AND ARE INSTITUTIONALLY DISHONEST. San Marcos is a city in the North County region of San Diego County, California with an estimated population of 95,000 residents. The city is bordered by Escondido to the east, Encinitas to the southwest, Carlsbad to the west, and Vista to the northwest. The five largest ethnic groups in San Marcos, California are White (Non-Hispanic) (44.4%), Two+ (Hispanic) (13.7%), Other (Hispanic) (12%), Asian (Non-Hispanic) (10.7%), and White (Hispanic) (10.7%). The City of San Marcos contract its police services with the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department, that deploys out of the San Marcos Station located at 182 Santar Place, San Marcos, California. The San Diego County Sheriff’s Department has had its problems with officer involved shootings in San Marcos. See, Deputy Shoots Man Inside North County Home, NBC 7 San Diego, August 25, 2013 (man allegedly armed with several knives was fatally shot by a deputy inside a San Marcos home); Deputies identified in fatal San Marcos officer involved shooting, 10news.com, March 6, 2017; San Marcos authorities provide update on fatal officer-involved shooting, KVUE ABC TV. San Marcos also has substantial problems in dealing with criminal street gangs such as the “Varrio San Marcos (VSM)” gang, the South Los gang and other criminal street gangs affiliated with the Mexican Mafia.

Due to the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department deputy sheriffs who patrol the San Marcos area having to having to deal with these criminal street gangs, many of these deputies have adopted the mentality that the Sheriff’s Department is the “baddest gang in town”, often acting like a street gang with badges. This “baddest gang in town” mentality often results in San Diego County Sheriff’s Department deputy sheriffs treating law abiding civilians like street gangsters. When that happens, law abiding civilians are often taken aback, and verbally protest or verbally challenge police orders or actions. When that happens, those law abiding civilians are now deemed to be in “Contempt of Cop”, and are then often beaten or tased or pepper-sprayed, and falsely arrested and maliciously prosecuted for some fabricated “resistance offense”, such as violation of Cal. Penal Code § 69 (resisting officer with force), Cal. Penal Code § 148(a)(1) (resisting/delaying/obstructing an officer), Cal. Penal Code § 240/241 (assault on officer), Cal. Penal Code § 242 / 243(b) & (c) (battery on an officer causing injury) and Cal. Penal Code § 245(c) (assault on officer with weapon). If you are reading this page you probably already know this. 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.
