Under the leadership of Sheriff Chad Bianco, the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department has deteriorated into a brutal and dangerously dishonest street gang. Not all of the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department deputy sheriffs are cruel or brutal. However, none of them are going to “rat-out” their fellow deputy sheriffs. That being said, as there are approximately close to 2,000 active Riverside County Sheriff’s Department deputy sheriffs, including supervisors, Investigators and leadership officials.
If only 10% of the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department active deputy sheriffs are cruel and brutal, that means that there are 200 deputies driving around Riverside County looking to beat up or even shoot civilians. When they do so, the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department brass not only covers-up for them; they actively destroy and withhold from the Riverside County District Attorney’s Office highly exculpatory evidence; no joke.
For example, when there is a Use of Force incident, the Patrol Sergeant will take the statements of the involved deputies and memorialize those statements in a “Supervisor’s Use of Force Memorandum”. The deputy sheriffs will also author a Riverside County Sheriff’s Department form called a “Use of Force Report”.
Thereafter, when the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department sends a fabricate police report to the Crimes Against Peace Officers Unit (“CAPO”) of the Riverside County District Attorney’s Office to procure the malicious criminal prosecution for some fabricated “resistance offense” the “Supervisor’s Use of Force Memorandum” and the “Use of Force Report” will as a matter of actual policy by the Sheriff’s Department, not send those often highly exculpatory document to the District Attorney’s Office. The Sheriff’s Department will also often destroy photographs and Body Worn Camera recordings that would disprove the fabricated “resistance offense” allegations being made to the District Attorney’s Office to protect the deputies and Riverside County from civil liability.
This is the actual practice of the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department. To frame the innocent victims of police outrages for fabricated “resistance offenses” 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).
If one is convicted of any of these “resistance offenses”, either by plea or by trial, then the victim of police outrages is not “collaterally estopped” from suing the deputies and the County of Riverside for excessive force, false arrest and malicious prosecution. See, “Can You Plead Out and Still Sue the Police?”.
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.
