As the old saying goes, “The young lawyer knows the law, but the old lawyer knows the Judge”. THE TUSTIN POLICE DEPARTMENT IS OFTEN BRUTAL AND IS INSTITUTIONALLY DISHONEST. Tustin Police are quite brutal and routinely falsely arrest innocents, usually for “contempt of cop” situations where a civilian verbally protests or verbally challenges police orders of actions; See, The “Contempt of Cop Game”; How Well Can You Play?, steeringlaw.com. Verbal protests and verbal challenges police orders of actions have long been held by the United States Supreme Court to be constitutionally protected conduct, that is fundamental to a free society. For example, in striking down a City of Houston, Texas Municipal Ordinance that criminalized interrupting a police officer in the performance of his/her duties, the Supreme Court held: “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.” Brennan, J. In Tustin, notwithstanding this right to verbally protest and verbally challenge police orders of actions, doing so will often result in you being beaten, or tased, or pepper-sprayed, and thereafter falsely arrested and criminally 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 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).
