Just a quick update, I've been up for over 24hours, I finally got released at 5:45 this morning, poor Sherryl waited in the parking lot from 9:30pm until 5:45am

I was "supposed" to be kept in a waiting cell, but someone forgot to tell the guards, I got to get into a new set of clothes furnished by the county and got to try out the top bunk of a metal bed with no mattress, luckly that was less than a hour.

Thanks for all the well wishes, it really means a bunch to me and I'm trying not to break down right now from a really crazy and emotional experiance that I could never wish on any friend of mine.

And yes, DD is correct, the item in question that I am in trouble for is just a chunk of metal that was found while looking for #4..only in California would I be in trouble to have this in my possesion without the registered owner being in the same room with me....crazy CA laws, we never knew and now to find a lawyer.....

thanks again for the well wishes and positive thoughts...

Nothing personal meant. Just don't become a mindless drone working for the government. "i was only following orders" just doesn't cut it. Face it, if you work for the government in law enforcement, you are associating with a bad bunch. The government tramples our rights, steals half or more of our hard earned income. Most cops do not follow the Bill of Rights, and are more than willing to follow "illegal orders".

My local police department had a good illegal rackect going on giving tickets to any car with a"for sale" sign in the window. Only a 20 buck ticket, but they were writing them to the tune of $12,000 per year. Nice money maker. i brought it too there attention that the vehicle code section that allows them to write that ticket also REQUIRES that the city must place signs warning of the violation in order for that law to be enforced. The cops, and city attorney told me to take them to court, but admitted to me I was probably right! First round in court is not really court, so a no named city puke reviews the ticket, and dispite all the documentation I provide, denies my argument, with no explaination. Second round requires I pay yhe ticket first, then appeal (Uhm, what about innocent until proven guilty?, seems calinazifornia some years ago did away with that constitutional protection for tickets, they call it an adminstrative ticket or something like that to stream line the process (too many folks were challenging tickets, and that made it to expensive for the government to prosecute!))
So round two, Again i give a written statement, citing the law, vehicle code etc.... i even ask for an explaination if they deny it again. They take the full time allowed to reach a decision (30 or 60 days i forget, but they went right up to the limit) They rubber stamp denied again. I speak with the chief of police, and he admits that I am right, I ask him why don't you just drop the ticket at this point, he tells me they want me to take it to court instead???? So I file in civil court, court date set, I pay a $25 court filing fee (refundable if I win) I show up with all my info, the City does not show up! Judge agrees with me, and mails me a favorable deciesion the next day. then i request from the City a refund of the ticket I had to pay for, and the court filing fee (which the city must pay me back, cause I won) of course no one in the city can get me my money, it is supposed to come from the company the city contracts to run the parking ticket payments. Takes about three months to get my money back from them (always excuses, they only mail refunds once amonth, opps they missed that month, maybe next month they tell me. Again no one at the city can help. i get the refund, but it is only for $20, the court fee is missing. So I contact the city about that, the fucking puke tells me he doesn't think it is fair for the city to have to pay my court costs (dispite it being the law) Takes about one more month to get that money back. I of course notifed the police that I won, and told them not to right them tickets anymore, the cop tells me the city attorney had already told them not to even before i won (they knew i would win)

A month or two go by, and i notice some parked cars with tickets on them, all the cars were for sale, uhm i lift up the ticket, and its the same god damn pig writting the same fucking tickets! i write down the ticket numbers, and the phone number of the car owner (from the for sale sign) and call the police. I saw Hey, remember me, and the for sale sign ticket, the cop says "oh yeah I remember". I say you are writting illegal tickets again. cop says " you mean you got another one?" i saw no, he says" you mean a freind of yours got one?" I say no, but two total strangers did, he asked me how i know that, and i tell him. i tell him he needs to cancel these two tickets right away, i give him the ticket number. He tells me he has no way of cancelling the tickets. i tell him bull! the vehicle code allows the issuing authority (ie the police) to drop any ticket "in the interests of justice" i tell him to drop them now, and that i will be calling the owners of the cars with my story. he asked me how i got their phone number, i tell him it was on the for sale sign! He tells me he will fix the tickets, and then i tell him that if i ever ever see anymore of those tickets in Redwood City california ever again i will bring this up to the press. I ask him if he thinks that since the department was collecting money for years writting illegal tickets if maybe they ought to refund all those poor folks the $20 and he tells me they have no way of doing that!!! Uhm, crooked cops, thats what they have in Redwood City. Now we wont even go into the public works department, which has idiot violent threatening employees working for them, killing the 50 year old trees on our streets (four have been felled so far on my block, two hitting vehicles) dispite eye witnesses to the threats, and destruction to my home, the puke is still employeed by the city.

So when i say FUCK THE GOVERNMENT I mean it, and have god damn good reason to. The badge means nothing, the cops were rotten thieving pigs, so was the city attorney. it went right up to the chief, The city council member that got involved told me he found it troubling, but he never interceded to help (typical politician) That council member is now gone, he was elected to state assembly last year (Ira Ruskin) so the incompetance, graft and corruption just gets bumped up to the next higher level in government.

As of today, i have not seen anymore illegal tickets like that be written here, but fuck, shouldn't the god damn pig know the vehicle code, and why the fuck did they not drop the case once they read the code, then why the fuck did they start writting them again, guess it was they thought i wouldn't be looking. They was dead wrong.

If i ever see a injured cop, I will just drive on by, not worth my time to help the pig, after the illegal shit they gave me.

So there, nothing personal of course.
