Mr. Steering many years of experience and acquired knowledge can help you maximize your chances of actually winning your Police Misconduct Civil Rights case, and winning is the only thing that matters.

As the old saying goes, “The young lawyer knows the law, but the old lawyer knows the Judge”.

THE REDONDO BEACH POLICE DEPARTMENT IS OFTEN A VERY CRUEL AND BRUTAL ENTITY THAT IS INSTITUTIONALLY DISHONEST.

Redondo Beach Police have a long history of falsely arresting, beating and killing innocents.

There is almost no limit what they will do to protect themselves from the victims of their outrages. They beat, falsely arrest and procure the malicious criminal prosecutions of their victims.

They usually beat, tase, pepper-spray, falsely arrest and at least to maliciously prosecute those unfortunate civilians who Redondo Beach Police Department police officer deem “guilty” of “Contempt of Cop“; verbal protest or verbal challenge to police orders or actions.

The United States Supreme Court has long held that verbal protest or verbal challenge to police orders or actions are constitutionally protected actions:

Justice William Brennan Jr.“The Houston ordinance is much more sweeping than the municipal ordinance struck down in Lewis. It is not limited to fighting words nor even to obscene or opprobrious language, but prohibits speech that “in any manner . . . interrupt[s]” an officer. The Constitution does not allow such speech to be made a crime. The freedom of individuals verbally to oppose or challenge police action without thereby risking arrest is one of the principal characteristics by which we distinguish a free nation from a police state.” Houston v. Hill, 482 U.S. 451 (1987), Brennan, J.

However, Redondo Beach Police Department police officers do not feel bound by these basic tenets of American constitutional protections that civilians are supposed to enjoy against police actions.

There is a technical world and there is the practical, real world. In the real world, the only rights that we have are those rights that as a practical matter that we can enforce. A right without a real-world practical remedy is no right at all.

In the real world, you can only enforce those rights by first winning your bogus “resistance offense” criminal case brought against you for verbally protesting police orders or actions; criminal cases usually brought for “resistance offenses” such as violations 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).

LAPD Batting Practice in the ParkThereafter, if you don’t plead yourself out of winning you civil rights case, you have to convince a federal court jury to unanimously vote for you and to condemn the police in a civil case in federal court. It doesn’t matter what the law states, or what the jury instructions say, or what the Judge says, or even what the evidence shows, if a federal jury of mostly white, cop-loving jurors are not going to unanimously vote for you and condemn the police.

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.

If you mouth-off to the cops or don’t do what the police tell you to do, one or more of the jurors in your case are just not going to vote for you. If you cuss out the cops, or act like a jerk, you are not going to win your civil rights case.
