In the Perspective section of the EAST VALLEY

TRIBUNE, Paul Green presented an article entitled

"License to Bully", in which he puts a great deal

about police powers into correct perspective.

(September 30, 2002)

"When we think of American freedom, what we

basically have in mind is the right, if we are not

bringing harm to the community, to be left alone."

"That is right neither the kinds of old nor the

fascists of Europe, nor the Communists of Asia

were ever willing to cede to their subjects."

"...Americans were protected by their Bill of

Rights...[and] did not have to put up with

arbitrary intrusion into their doings...and cringe

before authority."

He notes these basic, fundamental freedoms are in

"increasingly grave danger"...

He discusses Wilmington's notorious "Jump Out

Squads", rolling vans full of police startlingly

similar to the n**i "Flying Squads" in occupied

Poland.

He discusses the diminishing qualifications for

searches, seizures, and arrests, the apparent

disappearance of probable cause,

He puts this in the context of the arrest of a

Chaparral coach, whose main "crime" seems to be

not showing proper deferential and fearful

reaction to the police. In other words, "contempt

of cop"...

He cites three of the usual bogus blanket charges

lodged in fraudulent cases: resisting arrest,

disorderly conduct, and obstruction of

governmental administration. In Mesa, this last

one is usually "interfering with a police

officer", and is frequently lodged when, as in a

friend's recent case, he was impatient to get to

work when an officer questioned the empty rifle

case he was carrying. The officer took this to

be suspicious. It cost my friend his job. Two

days in jail. Charges eventually dropped

completely.

Now, several East Valley Departments have notified

the public that firearms in cars, no matter

whether lawfully carried, will be confiscated and

subjected to NCIC/NCIS check, EVEN IF THE PARTY

INVOLVED HAS A CONCEALED WEAPONS PERMIT, AND EVEN

IF SUCH A SEARCH HAS BEEN CONDUCTED THAT VERY

DAY!!!! So if you purchase a firearm as a gift,

this Christmas, buy it early...the police may

hold it for a while.

In fact, Mesa P.D. has tried very hard to steal

several firearms that I know of, from legitimate

owners, and went so far as to manufacture FALSE

charges to justify or cover their actions.

Cops or not, this is not only unconstitutional, it

is illegal. It is, in fact, theft.

The coach involved in this recent incident seemed

to be trying to get a situation where his players

were being harassed under some kind of control,

and to generally move on with the celebratory

proceedings.

Scottsdale hit him with three fake charges: he

copped to a bogus "failure to obey" charge, will

pay a $293 fine and take "anger management"

courses. What hogwash!!!

Apparently, one of the Scottsdale officers slammed

the coach against a wall. Witnesses came

forward to suggest and prove that the entire

situation was badly handled by the "Law

Enforcement" clowns on the scene.

Like a great deal of what happens in the East

Valley, this is public authority gone OVER THE

TOP, used to pad egos, and completely

inappropriate.

Giving this monstrous conspiracy more power

because of other monsters who blew up New York

buildings is not only inappropriate, it is

criminal.

It is no coincidence that the Valley of the Sun is

home to two of the key investigative precedents

archetypal to lawful police conduct, the Miranda

and Escobedo decisions.

Police and courts and prosecutors here have a long

and storied history of pounding confessions out of

suspects, convicting erroneous people, lying,

manufacturing erroneous junk charges, killing

citizens, and having hissy fits like monster

five-year-olds when things do not go their way.

In my work, I have seen hundreds of police reports,

and most of them contain inferences and innuendo and

falsehoods which are downright impossible, even

contradictory.

Imagine a scumbag like Joe Arpaio with even more

power? Sorry. I would rather put a shark in

my swimming pool. If this valley had five times

the police it does now, it would be far LESS

SECURE... And it would also be totally bankrupt.

Law-abiding citizens always think the law works

for them, and that they will not be harassed

unless they do something wrong or stupid. But

that isn't how it works. How it works is: if you

kow-tow and grovel sufficiently in the face of

authority, kiss the correct butts, pay the

appropriate bribes, and do EVERYTHING you are

told, MAYBE you won't go to jail YET...

The police use of power and firearms is entirely

too casual and almost always excessive, frequently

strangely inappropriate. In Mesa, in particular,

it has to be STOPPED.

This is pro forma for Arizona.

The police here have way too much power, and are given way too much latitude in their conduct. I got arrested breaking up a fight once, in a situation where I was the ONLY one who got hit, and never even tried to hit anybody.

The scumbags wanted to give the impression they had stopped a riot (usual b.s.--they got there after it was all over and looked for the wounded guy), when in reality, they caused far more problems than they solved.

It didn't stick in court, of course, but they WOULD NOT back down, and it cost me a mess of money. Next time I see a local cop in trouble, guess what: I have other things to do.

Abusing citizens is about all most of these idiots are capable of. Mesa is the worst, but I work in Scottsdale and have had enough of those strange conversations where it was obvious the cop was fishing around that I don't think they are very much higher on the ethics totem pole.

I am leaving this area as soon as I can, and I advise anyone else who is not rich or Mormon to do the same. Leave the dung hole to the Mormons and the Mexicans, let them fight over what remains. It is very ugly here. And it seems to get worse EVERY DAY.
