Mesa, Maricopa County Sheriff's Office ripoff of every citizen based on hogwash dedicated to the proposition that only JOE Arpaio counts.. Mesa, Phoenix Arizona
Particularly in the venues of the East Valley of the
Sun, where DWNM (aka: "driving while not Mormon") and
NBM (not being Mormon) can result in bogus incarceration,
more-or-less instantly, the jails deserve special
scrutiny.
After all, YOU TOO could be there in heartbeat or
less.
And even if you never physically go there, you are
paying for many of the local police department's errors,
and for the publicity seeking fraud of the windbag
who runs the system.
The Citizens of Maricopa County continue to pay for
the endless and ridiculous sins of the fool who has
dubbed himself "THE TOUGHEST SHERIFF IN AMERICA".
Quite aside from Arpaio's history as the only "tough
guy" who got the hell kicked out of him by a hair
dresser, Arpaio's endless falsehoods, hogwashes,
exaggerations, and publicity stunts are putting down
his dubious "legend" as a scam artist, just a few
short clicks off from being a P.T. Barnum. Indeed, we
thought we were electing a Wyatt Earp; what we wound
up with was a bad imitation of Rube Golberg. Worse,
he costs every citizen money, EVERY SINGLE DAY.
One of his latest misadventures is heavily documented
in all today's Arizona papers, September 27th, 2002,
in various articles describing that, of the latest
massive damage lawsuit, for some $635,000, Joe may
have to pay, this time, for some of his own ridiculous
excesses. For every lawsuit you see, Joe has to,
"under the table", settle on countless others.
This one involved an inmate at The Tents ("Tent City")
who was savagely beaten by other inmates, in a
thoroughly preventable situation. He suffered
permanent brain damage.
Among other gems, Sheriff Arpaio claimed he knew
nothing about the inherent, constant dangers in the
facilities he administers.
Since EVERYONE ELSE knows this, he is obviously either
much more incompetent than we even suspected, or the
"BIGGEST LYING SHERIFF IN AMERICA". The jury felt it
was the latter.
Attorney Robbins summed it up neatly: "Sheriff Joe
needs to retire. He needs to find a job where he
can get publicity without hurting people."
False imprisonment, brutality, unsanitary conditions,
overcrowding, and general lack of humanity mark this
County as worse than the notorious black holes of
Calcutta.
Sheriff Joe regards everyone in his custody, or claims
to, as literally "beneath contempt", criminals, and
endeavors to horrify them at every turn, while making
a mountain of money. Trouble is, only RELATIVELY
MINOR offenses involve tenure at the jails as a
penalty, and most of his charges are merely ACCUSED,
meaning they are at least technically innocent.
Indeed, 10 to twenty per cent of his victims wind up
not being prosecuted at all.
Many charges here flow from mistaken identity,
dishonest cops like those in Mesa, fraudulent evidence
from paid snitches who cannot get facts straight, or
just some lowlife's need to "clear" a case and make
quota. Others are so grotesquely exaggerated that,
when a court date actually comes up, they are reduced
to almost nothing.
But the jail system forces easy "plea agreements"...
These are not "Plea Bargains"...nothing involved with
this system is a bargain.
TB, Hepatitis, and worse are very serious dangers in
these filth holes, and it is not merely the tents.
Certainly, an extreme DUI deserves punishment, and so
does domestic violence, two of the more common
offenses for which defendants wind up at Tent City.
But a death sentence--which is what many of the
chronic diseases acquired there really amount to--is
not appropriate.
This is why many inmates, having experienced or heard
of both, WANT to go to prison, rather than stay in
these revolting climes. And many will "confess"
rather than be further confined, even if they are
innocent.
ANY trip to one of Arpaio's jails is "cruel and
unusual punishment"...
This is not the "Toughest Sheriff in America"...
But he is surely the "Most Expensive Phony Cop" in the
entire world. Even the n**i concentration camps were
cleaner. The food was probably similar.

A case of mistaken identity that prompted Mesa police to rethink undercover narcotics arrest policies is scheduled to go to trial today.
Aaron Markley's attorney filed a $3 million lawsuit against the Mesa police and the city after a Mesa police detective confused Markley with a man who sold the officer methamphetamine in April 1998.
Markley, a bank employee and married father of two, did not learn he was wanted by the police until a background check at a gun show indicated he had an outstanding warrant.
The lawsuit was filed for legal fees and emotional trauma. Markley's arrest contributed to a decline in his health, he and his lawyer said.
Lawyers for the city argued that there is no evidence to show that Markley's illnesses-- "allergies and an upset stomach"--can be attributed to his arrest, according to court records.
"A mistake was made in this case, and the City has acknowledged that mistake, "deputy city attorney Catherine M. Bowman wrote. "In this circumstance, Plaintiffs have filed to identify a cause of action that would entitle him to compensation."
The trial is scheduled for 9:30 a.m. at Maricopa county Superior Court in Phoenix, before Judge Edward Burke.

The preceding reports are somewhat understated, and were apparently written before Halloween, when our ESTEEMED Sheriff arrested an actor for "imitating a law enforcement officer" while actually on the set. Most of the costume was purchased from Joe, directly or indirectly, and no actual law was violated.
Seems to me it is Joe Arpaio who is the imitator. Of what we are not sure, but we DO know that he is, in reality, NOTHING.... Surely not the "toughest lawman in American"...
(What moron came up with that monicker for this ridiculous sleazeball, anyway??? Was it Joe?)
More tired mischief...Sheriff Joe, You Gotta Go!!!

Sheriff Joe's facist attitudes might not be a problem in some jobs. But unfortunately, he is in charge of a great many people.
In case anyone wonders, I am good friends with several of Joe's employees. And no, I bear them no grudge at all. They have to be very orthodox, do what they are told, and can only do what little they CAN do within the guidelines they are given. The problem is the publicity-seeking showman who runs the circus, not the performers.
And people die in these places!!! Some from neglect, some from brutality, and I am convinced that some die intentionally ... but I will reserve my information on that subject for later, when I will have more evidence.
I am not crushed if Jeff Dahmer gets croaked by another inmate in the funny farm, and if Charlie Manson came up dead, my sorrow might last half a heartbeat. But Sheriff Joe's charges are not in that spectrum AT ALL... at least,not for very long. His "punishment" end of the organization deals with fairly minor infractions; the bulk of all County facilities contain ONLY suspects.
Even the sternest religions and the most monstrous regimes
reserve the worst punishments for the gravest violators. But
not our esteemed sheriff... EVERYONE must revel in pig dung, use showers that a swine would feel compelled to avoid, try to eat food a raveous dog would reject.
If you have a common name, one wise thing to do in this county
is check out if there is a Joe Smith or Bill Johnson or Steve
Olson or Juan Ramirez with a long and illustrious criminal record. Between the avarice and incompetence of most of the
East Valley's law enforcement officers and the aggressive
time-building of Sheriff Joe and his minions, you may wind up doing part or all of whatever time your namesake is entitled to.
There are other things you need to know. If the charging or arresting agency is unsure of the charges against you, and are merely--as Mesa P.D. was in my case--caught up "in the sytem" for the convenience of one of these ghouls, you will be drug-tested endlessly. It is a handy way of harassing people, and just in case, maybe something will be found. I have not even been AROUND illegal drug consumption in decades, and I could tell the officers were annoyed that I kept coming up "clean". In 22 days, I had four times the drug tests as one associate who wound up doing over an entire year. I fully expected to be
shot up involuntarily, and I suspect--but cannot prove--such an attempt was made.
Thing is, I knew the charges were false, and I knew the purpose of prolonging my agony. And I knew that, as soon as I hit the street, I could begin to gather photographic and physical and witness evidence that I could rub in the twisted faces of my tormentors.
This is NOT unusual. Nor is anything else you hear about
Maricopa County Jails which is revolting. I saw things so
disgusting I refuse to repeat them. And that which was not
directly at Arpaio's behest surely is somehow encouraged, to
shock those of us who fall within "normal" parameters.
Arpaio has no real defense for his policies or practices.
He is in the lying business, and lying and oppression are
his ONLY businesses.. they are making him a fortune, and costing taxpayers a fortune.
This is an abcess. It has to be removed.
