CIVIL RIGHTS LAWYERS TO WATCHDOG THE OC SHERIFF & DA?
Internet exclusive: On Full Disclosure® Video News Blog
Video Blog Time: 9:29 min.
Release Date: July 11, 2007

Los Angeles, CA. - Is it time for Civil Rights lawyers to start watchdogging the Orange County Sheriff and District Attorney? Sheriff Mike Carona says NO. In a nine minute FULL DISCLOSURE NETWORK® video news blog, Sheriff Mike Carona points out there have been no police beatings or riots in Orange County as there were in L.A. Appearing in the video with Sheriff Carona are ACLU Jail Project Director Mary Tiedeman, Civilian Police Monitor, Merrick Bobb and Mike Gennaco Chief Attorney of the L.A. County Sheriff's Department, Office of Independent Review who all describe what they are doing in Los Angeles. Sheriff Carona takes on the issue point by point and is adamant that the move to form a Citizen Review Commission in Orange County is totally unnecessary. The FDN video news blog is moderated Emmy Award winning host Leslie Dutton and available FREE, 24/7, on demand and provided as a public service.

Here are some of the Sheriff Carona's objections:

  • Another layer of bureaucracy. According to Carona, his administration has worked tirelessly to engage citizens in his operation. There are already several civilian organizations currently reviewing his department's policies and procedures.
  • The Orange County Grand Jury: The current Grand Jury is empowered with full legal authority to investigate and bring charges against the Sheriff Department and any officer or employee of that organization.
  • Sheriff's Advisory Boards are already providing oversight and input
  • OC Human Relations Commission is already in place and could be assigned additional oversight to law enforcement without forming another new agency of lawyers.

Following the video VIEWERS ARE ASKED TO VOTE on the following survey questions:

  • Do you think that the move to have more civilian monitoring is a move to give the politicians more control over the sheriff's department?
  • Is this just a political ploy to criticize law enforcement?
  • Does your community law enforcement need to be monitored by a citizens review board?

Viewers are also invited to participate in the video news blog discussion by posting comments below the streaming video.

BREAKING NEWS SEE CURRENT UPDATE OF FEDERAL CASE:

USA DRAFT MCCASKILL CASE

Missouri Tax Payer   Missouri

Posted: 10:16 am [PST] on April 16 2008

If anyone VOTES for CHRIS KOSTER for ATTORNEY GENERAL. They don't know him, Yes, he was Da attorney in Cass county. I wonder how many citizens he put in jail that did not do a crime. Chris Koster let his office do anything they wanted to do. Just think you have him and the County sheriff team up. HO BOY I hope the citizens of Missouri think before they put him in for ATTORNEY GENERAL

A federal Judge in,Missouri name, Scott O. wright ruled that a cop knocks on your door they don't need a warrant, When you open the door of your home, he said, it was in a public place. The police can arrest you and that the 4th amendment is not there for you. You can be sleeping or just be setting in your home and the only thing they have to do, is open your door,when someone knock or calls your name. Your in trouble, it gives the officer the right to arrest you,with out a warrant.
The police or sheriff deputies do not have to read your rights to you. They can just make it up, and then if the charge does not meet the arrest they can change it at the jail.then you go to trial an WIN your case in the county. Then you try to sue them, for violate your civil rights. The federal judge will throw it out. After you have spend a lot of money. You will not get your day in court,even if both sides say we both won't to go to trial. Look under case: Marc perkel sues the City of Springfield Missouri for FALSE ARREST,So if you have a Civil Rghts case the missouri Federal Judge will throw it out. All the other side has to do is LIE. It happened to me, I had all kinds of evidence and the judge heard one side and gave it to the county. Just go under Scott O. wright and see how many trials he has DISMISSED.

I have been in Lawenforcement over a lot of years. I think there should be a civilian monitoring on,the Sheriff office, all, or maybe a few sheriffs like to do things that they don't like anyone to know what they are doing. I know one County, Cass County Missouri like to violated a persons Civil Rights and they don't have to answer to anyone. The sheriff in this county with the DA, makes up charges and files it again you. They don't even have to have evendence they just charge you. It is election year, I hope this sheriff does not get relected, he and his deputies are out of control. I know for a fact he, said he can even go to other police deparments in his County and tell them, what to do because he is the sheriff. The voter need to say this is enough and vote him out. The sheriff is just one of those GOOD OLD BOYS!!!. Well this is my comment. for the SURVEY QUESTIONS should be answered NO, NO,Yes I think a lot of lawenforcement answer this Question. WHAT DO YOU THINK????.

I totally agree with William about Orange County Sheriff's needing to be continually monitored.Unfortunately I have also experienced abuse at the hands of these officers. In a recent instances i have been cont harassed , racially profiled and even assaulted by Lake Forest Sheriff's. I am currently in the process of filling my formal complaints with the dept. of Internal Affairs. Sadly these injustices occur more then we think .I was going to stay quite about this but I am tired of having to fear my own law enforcement officers. They are supposed to protect the weak and innocent? now I not sure who they really protect?

Comments: Civil Rights Violations
On 6/27/07 Officers violated my civil rights, they brutalized me, they refused to give me my charges and I don’t believe gave me my Miranda rights, They told me they were arresting me and I asked them for what, they replied you’ll find out down town..
I was arrested for resisting arrest / battery on a police office..??? How can you batter 5 cops when you are handcuffed and gang rushed by 3 of them in a space 4x5?? My charges were only listed as resisting arrest for 3 days, I was never given my phone calls or given my bail amount or the opportunity to call my lawyer. . And the call record at the station will uphold that... I was given a public defender who was told this and he proceeded to drag the case out for 45 days, now I know the jail gets 250 per day for each inmate in custody. The public defender works with the DA for Convictions which justify budget spending. Is this an OC Conspiracy? IS this how the county is allowed to generate revenue? I even told the judge at my arraignment about the rights violations, she ignored me... I wasn’t given adequate counsel and had to be released on a plea. I feel that I am entitled to full representation in my best interest NOT the DA’s and Orange Cs. I want the pub
lic defender disbarred. I was told by the public defender Donald Rubright this is how things work.

My case # is 07sf0736

There is evidence of these rights violations in the police station tape files, and the fact that the officers called my mother and spoke to her for 15min prior to coming out to my home and then waited for my mothers call back secures my position that these police were serving another agenda and offers evidence that a possible conspiracy may have been issued by an OC office worker who lived upstairs. The Girlfriend of the worker @ 70 Seaspray east brought it to my attention several times declaring that I watch my step? Are the police in CA allowed to misuse their power like this? Does the office of the Governor condone this behavior? I don’t think the governor is aware of it in my opinion.

There is only a taped record of her call to them. Not their call to her 2 hours prior... This constitutes a conspiracy... The officers called her 2 hours before probably from a cell phone... there is no record of what they talked about. ??? Why not??? Don’t they have to turn in a log... if not how do we know how they are spending budget dollars..??
2nd... I was never given my phone calls at arrest.
3rd...I couldn’t be bailed out... my bail was only 2500 (250) and my charges were resisting arrest, no charges were filed... i wasnt allowed to be released to seek or retain proper counsel.
4th... I told the judge this on 6/29. She ignored it...
5th... I told the public defender this and he never brought it up in court or to the DA in OC...
What kind of system is this?????
6th... I was put on felony probation and my childcare benefits were interrupted by the
DA’S lack of communication...
I was told by my probation officer that it is my job to get the paperwork to him and others if I didn’t want to go to jail... he had an officer waiting to arrest me!!! For a modified restraining order in his file that he didn’t read properly...
I was under the impression that the police are to protect and serve not validate budget spending revenue by violating citizens rights or
My General assistance was interrupted for this incompetence...

Can U help or should I send this to the Office of the President?
-William

I have the Probation Officer on tape disreguarding his job telling me that it is my job to circulate the District Attorneys Paperwork in order to keep all offices up to date.
This is a disreguard of Budget Directives. It is the DA's job to keep the paperwork up to date #1 and #2 The DA is the Plaintiff so he should be distributing it.. This is how the county is allowed to justify the budget in alot of ways. Due to paperwork alot of released inmates are illegally violated for probation and parole. " Ignorance is no excuse " This was stated to me by a judge. shouldnt it hold true for their offices as well.

I have emailed the governor on this several times. I have asked my public defender Don Rubright to withdraw my plea but his main support seems to be for the DA. not mine which was against my rights from the begining.

I also have evidence that supports them defrauding the budget which could end up in a class action involving the AMA as well.
I cant seem to get any help.. I have evidence and this is a travesty that this is allowed in this country.

Though you're site is quite critical of William Bratton, you've been silent about Mike Carmona's questionable ethics over the years.

Why?

Citizen feed back through surveys and Community Oriented Policing is a valuable tool but citizens are not trained or skilled to give an impartial or professional review.

There have been way too many deaths at Orange County Jail that are not explained. There needs to be protection for the inmates and for the community.
