As the old saying goes, “The young lawyer knows the law, but the old lawyer knows the Judge”. THE POLICE IN STANTON ARE OFTEN BRUTAL AND ARE INSTITUTIONALLY DISHONEST. The Stanton Police Department is a very cruel and brutal entity. The City of Stanton contracts with the Orange County Sheriff’s Department for its police services. The City had to do so, as the old Stanton Police Department was basically the inmates running the asylum. The old Stanton Police Department was going wild with beatings and false arrests, and it was just costing the City of Stanton too much money. The Orange County Sheriff’s Department has significantly reduced its incidents of beating up the public since the days of the 2000’s when Mike Carona was the Sheriff of Orange County, along with his “Team Forever”; him and Assistant Sheriff’s Don Hadl and George Jaramillo. See, Sheriff Mike Carona indicted on corruption charges, Orange County Register, October 30, 2007. See also, Former Assistant Sheriff Jaramillo Convicted Of Perjury And Misappropriation Of Public Funds, Orange County District Attorney’s Office, January 29, 2007 and Former OC Assistant Sheriff Don Haidl sentenced, LA1st, Mar 15, 2010 However, the present make-up of the Orange County Sheriff’s Department still has its brutal and dishonest deputies. 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 beating and false arrest victims. Don’t think that it can’t happen to you, because it can. In fact, if you are reading this article, you probably now realize that constitutionally protected conduct such as verbal protest or verbal challenge to police orders or action will result in these terrible consequences to you. Most law-abiding civilians believe that they are not breaking the law, save driving over the speed limit in the freeway, and, therefore, the police are not going to do anything bad to them. However, these situations usually don’t arise when the civilian is necessarily “breaking the law”. These beatings, tasings, pepper-spraying, false arrests and malicious criminal prosecutions almost always arise in the context of civilians exercising their federal constitutional rights by verbally protesting or verbally challenging police actions or orders; actions that the police call “Contempt of Cop“. Verbal protest or verbal challenge of police actions or orders have long been held to be constitutionally protected conduct: “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. When Orange County Sheriff’s Department deputy sheriffs deem you in Contempt of Cop, they often will beat, tase, pepper-spray, falsely arrest and procure the malicious prosecution of persons who are simply engaged in constitutionally protected conduct.
