As the old saying goes, “The young lawyer knows the law, but the old lawyer knows the Judge”. THE POLICE IN SAN CLEMENTE IS OFTEN A CRUEL AND BRUTAL AGENCY THAT IS INSTITUTIONALLY DISHONEST. The City of San Clemente Police contracts its police services with the Orange County Sheriff’s Department. That agency has over the years transitioned from simply out of control in beating and falsely arresting innocents, to the more recent moderate Sheriff’s Department that still is often a cruel and brutal entity, but significantly less than it was 20 years ago. San Clemente has a population of approximately 62,000 residents; 75.4% of whom are White, 17.8% of whom are Hispanic and 1.5% is African American. San Clemente is famous for its beaches and surfing champions. Although most of San Clemente is a affluent and relatively safe area, San Clemente nonetheless has its share of criminal street gangs. Due to having to deal with these criminal street gangs in San Clemente such as the Varrio Chico gang and the Varrio Viejo gang, the Orange County Sheriff’s Department many of the deputy sheriffs who patrol San Clemente believe that they are “The baddest gang in town”. The gangster mentality that many of the San Clemente Sheriff’s Department deputies have adopted has resulted in a low grade war on civilians engaged in “Contempt of Cop” situations; situations involving civilians verbally challenging or verbally protesting police actions or orders. When those situations happen, San Clemente deputy sheriffs will quite often beat, tase, pepper-spray, falsely arrest and procure the bogus criminal prosecutions of their victims 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 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 Orange 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). There is almost no limit what the deputy sheriffs in San Clemente will do to protect themselves from the victims of their outrages. IF YOU ARE THE VICTIM OF A DEPUTY SHERIFF IN SAN CLEMENTE JERRY L.
