THE POLICE IN YERMO ARE OFTEN BRUTAL AND ARE INSTITUTIONALLY DISHONEST.

Yermo Ghost town 5Yermo is an unincorporated town and census-designated place in the Mojave Desert in San Bernardino County, California. Yermo has an estimated population of 846 residents. The demographics of Yermo is 81.44% White, 16.08% Asian and 2.48% Two or more races.

Yermo lies 13 miles east of Barstow on Interstate 15, just south of the Calico Mountains. Today, Yermo is governed by an elected five-member board of directors comprising the Community Services District authorized by the County of San Bernardino.

The Sheriff’s Department patrols Yermo out of the Barstow Station, located at 225 E. Mountain View Street, Barstow, California. The San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department that has a long and well-earned reputation for brutality and dishonesty.

In recent years the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department has been quite active in very negative ways in the Barstow – Yermo areas of San Bernardino County in recent years. See for example, Jury awards $33.5M to parents of Barstow man killed by deputy, KABC 7 News, March 15, 2018. See also, Prosecutors Deem Fatal Barstow Police Shooting in Walmart Parking Lot Justified, KTLA 5 News, November 29, 2018.

San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department SWAT 6Most of the time when San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department deputy sheriffs beat or tase or pepper-spray, and falsely arrest and procure the malicious criminal prosecution of innocents, is in the context of “Contempt of Cop” situations; situations involving verbal protest or verbal challenge to police orders or actions. See, The “Contempt of Cop Game”; How Well Can You Play?, steeringlaw.com.

Although verbal protest or verbal challenge to police orders or actions has long been held to be constitutionally protected conduct (See, City of Houston v. Hill, 482 U.S. 451 (1987)), in the real world with real cops, especially San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department deputy sheriffs, don’t be surprised if your verbal challenge to such deputies’ orders or actions result in your being beat or tased or pepper-sprayed, and falsely arrested and maliciously prosecuted for some fabricated “resistance offense”, such as violation of Cal. Penal Code § 148(a)(1) (resisting/delaying/obstructing an officer), Cal. Penal Code § 240/241 (assault on officer), Cal. Penal Code § 242 / 243(b) & (c) (battery on an officer causing injury) and Cal. Penal Code § 245(c) (assault on officer with weapon).

IF YOU ARE THE VICTIM OF POLICE MISCONDUCT, JERRY L. STEERING CAN HELP YOU ACTUALLY ENFORCE YOUR RIGHTS BY WINNING YOUR CASE.

Screen Capture from LA ABC 7 Interview of JLS on Jovan Jimenez caseThe 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.
