Rialto, CA —Recent published news reports claim that the use of force by police here has dropped by 60% and citizen complaints against officers are down a whopping 88%.   They attribute this to the new program of having cops wear video cameras that document every interaction with the citizenry. That was a predictable outcome since cops must constantly deal with troublemakers.    The behavior challenged miscreants are understandably camera shy when it comes to acting out when they know their antics will be displayed on the big screen in their nearest courtroom.   There is a serious and deepening division between the police and people with that certain anti-police mindset.   This was created by the political Left Wing.  It’s funny that the Democrats complain the most about the enforcement of the very laws their favorite politicians have passed into law! They don’t blame those despotic freedom-hating politicians but instead fault the cops! ...

Crown Point, IN —Arrest information and police booking photos are public record nearly everywhere.  If you’re accused of a misdemeanor or felony, you’ll get fingerprinted, photographed and often humiliated.  If it’s a high profile crime or you have a even a small bit of celebrity you can count on being put up at a garish public display at a Photo-op Perpwalk too.  Cops and prosecutors love to brag about high profile cases and are allowed to release lurid details that are sure to become the topic of gossip everywhere.  This also interferes with the right of the accused to a fair trial.   Arrests are often newsworthy but the same is rarely true for vindication or an acquittal.  The presumption of innocence goes out the window once the media finds an arrest to be newsworthy.  The rules regarding release of documents and information especially in the Information Age need serious revision.  High profile criminal trials have replaced gladi...

Los Angeles, CA —For those that don’t know this I am a member of SAG-AFTRA .   That’s the union that represents actors and other talent for motion pictures, broadcast and web related entertainment.   My union has worked to fight extortion when it involves sex in order to work but they’ve failed miserably to prevent actors from being forced to pay cash.   Young actors are usually broke and desperate as they try and compete for various roles. Only a small percentage of actors have agents and those without agents have to get roles before agents will notice them.   In order to get seen and considered actors must audition with casting directors for he less important parts.  If you don’t get the small parts you can never compete for the larger roles. The problem is the casting directors have set up a criminal enterprise and gotten away with it.  Actors are met with solicitations the moment they enter casting offices for acting c...

Chicago, IL —All of the elected officials and bureaucrats in the Windy City are Democrats and most are from the far Left fringe.  There are no Republicans or Conservatives to blame.  Here they have enacted the most unreasonable gun bans in the entire nation. Corruption in Chicago is beyond legendary.  A significant percentage of the 50 member City Council are either street gang members themselves or are closely related to them.  When it comes to combating crime these politicians will try anything at all as long as it cant and does not work.  The policy of the city government is to insure that the city’s criminals are the only ones armed.  Over the years they even banned the cops from using police style shotguns.  They have allowed the police department manpower to dip into dangerous levels.  As they cite budgetary problems they handed millions in cash grants to known criminal groups such as Cease Fire .  Who could forget when t...

Chicago, IL —In this city known for rampant corruption and cronyism the politicians know what to do with the money they extort from taxpayers!  Whenever possible taxes here are only used to support thieves, thugs and liars.  Chicago’s ghetto violence is way over the top this year.  Whenever the temperature rises so does the body count.  Chicago's cops are undermanned, outgunned, underpaid and demoralized.  Their pensions are on the fast track to be part of certain future bankruptcy proceedings.  Imagine just what the working cops think of Chicago's latest anti-violence plan?  The only way to deal with violence like this is hire, train cops and send the violent ghetto rats off to prison until they are too old to hurt anyone.   That works. However in the “ City That Works ” any anti-crime or violence program is acceptable only if wastes lots of money and as long as it doesn’t work.   The Mayor and his merry men are...

Los Angeles, CA --According to postings over at TMZ.com , Oksana Grigorieva’s computer data was seized by sheriff’s investigators armed with a search warrant. I suspect a full forensic examination of this computer may reveal evidence of a conspiracy to commit extortion. E-mails, chat histories, visited websites will lead to many additional avenues to locate evidence. TMZ also reported that Grigorieva’s unlicensed convicted felon bodyguard, Kristian Herzog is exploring publishing a book that will chronicle his alleged sexual relationship and other activities with her. I can’t imagine sheriff’s investigators not grilling this fellow about any evidence of Grigorieva’s efforts to mislead police and prosecutors. The bodyguard reportedly has loads of text messages and other scandalous pillow talk material he’s marketing while it’s hot. Selling his story and material would however cheapen it's value as evidence in any courtroom. I would not be surprised to learn that other people'...

Los Angeles, CA —In a court of law there are few hearsay exceptions. Photographs and documents can’t simply jump up on to a witness stand and testify. Foundation must be established and a live witness that saw the event must testify that the photograph accurately depicts what he saw with his own eyes. Judges around the country have let the Extortion Camera Photo Enforcement Mafia get away with, Hearsay Murder . Not anymore, at least in California. Since Arizona judge’s retirement is actually attached to traffic fine collections they have a significant conflict of interest every time they hear a traffic case. I will never understand how that kind of crap can stand in America. That California Camera Hearsay Ruling should get the attention of every lawyer and judge in all 50 states since we are dealing with the same Constitution. The problem with the camera enforcement evidence is that denies the accused the Constitutional rights to face and cross-examine his accuser. It is insufficie...

Los Angeles, CA —They spent wildly on things taxpayers never needed and now they say they can’t pay police overtime. Instead of curtailing enforcement of victimless crimes like prostitution, gambling and drug offenses they actually announced they can’t pay police to investigate murders! Los Angeles politicians are intimidating and terrorizing citizens at the worst possible time during a period of economic depression while they empty the jails and prisons. Long ago, Los Angeles turned into a sanctuary city for trespassers looking for free medical care and gratis public schools to babysit their endless supply of children. As a result the hospitals and schools simply can’t continue. This city has found every creative way to expand their control over things never intended for government. This is a city run by Marxists. Of course they’re broke; they ran out of other people’s money. Now they’ve stopped paying homicide dicks overtime to solve the city’s murders. Of course they publicized th...

Arizona —I have no clue where this happened or who was involved. It seems that there was a parked photo radar vehicle along a freeway that needed some corrective action. Some patriots splashed tar all over the vehicle and then applied a coating of feathers. I assume that the vehicle was unusable for its extortion mission for at least a day or two. I’d much prefer to see the politicians that enable the extortion program get identical treatment. Perhaps they’d learn that government by extortion is bad government.

Chicago, IL.—Town Hall is a busy police district. Cops working there like everywhere in this city are overwhelmed because of a manpower shortage. Cops are at the mercy of the Daley/Burke Crime Families that run the town within a 50 member city council. This bunch of thieves, thugs and liars may bear serious responsibility for Sergeant Alan Haymaker’s death. This city’s politicians once had the perfect incumbent Protection Plan. It was called patronage. They controlled nearly every city job. These workers had two functions, campaigning for the local ward boss and performing the actual work they were hired to do in the first place. The government jobs in Chicago were all union, well paying and provided great benefits. The Federal courts took a dim view of the practice and dismantled the patronage game but only to a point. This crippled the politician’s reelection efforts and forced them to pay for campaign workers. The money for this quickly came from city contractors. The cit...

Phoenix, AZ— The company collecting millions of dollars to run the hated Robocam Extortion Program want court rules changed. That's because most alleged violators caught simply refuse to pay. The current court rules requires that any court summons be served under civil process Rule 4. That means a process server must locate and serve the violator or a person that also resides at the violator’s residence. The system is overwhelmed and the summonses expire before they can be lawfully delivered. They are trying to sneak through a legal exemption to allow sending the summons by first class mail to the alleged violator’s last known address. The risk here is that the company could obtain a court judgment without the violator knowing about it or being able to contest the matter in court. This rule change would be done by Arizona Supreme Court judges, most of which are Democrats apponted by former Governor Naplitano. The legislature and curent governor would be bypassed along with d...

Phoenix, AZ —He is the bane of the government officials trying to keep up the spending for things Arizona taxpayer’s don’t need. He is the arch-foe of big government tyranny and extortion. He’s been caught on Arizona's revenue generating speed cameras more than 90 times. The Department of Public safety's process servers stalking him have served 37 citations on a man they claim has a secret identity, Monkey Man . The culprit is believed by some officials to be the registered owner of the car they claim Monkey Man drives. A DPS surveillance operation allegedly photographed Dave VonTesmar in the act of donning his highway disguise. Learn more about that genuine patriot and super hero, Monkey Man in the video below.

Los Angeles, CA— The film industry here has enjoyed a good deal with retired LAPD cops. Film makers need serious traffic control and a visible show of force to protect their stars as they make films in public places. This is not something that should be funded by taxpayers and ordinary security guards lack training and the ability to provide a sufficient deterrent to potential terrorist acts. The solution that’s worked well for decades has been destroyed by the LAPD . That time honored solution was to allow trained, certified and honorably retired officers to wear police uniforms along with their hard earned retired shields. They have been able to use motor cycles that have the appearance of being genuine LAPD bikes to perform the duties. They don’t make traffic stops or issue citations. They certainly have the power to make routine citizen’s arrests. There were no problems other than a silly turf war between Chief Bratton and the retired cops. Bratton won and has forced the cops int...

Sacramento, CA --California Speaker of the State Assembly Karen Bass (D-Los Angeles) says the budget is “too complicated” for the voters to understand. Bass actively campaigned for the tax extortion programs soundly defeated by California’s exceptionally Liberal voters. If it was too radical for even California voters, it shows just how far out of step Bass is with the people whose pockets she’s picking. The real problem for Bass is that the voters understood this tax and budget mess only too well. Karen Bass, please do us a favor and drop dead.

Phoenix, AZ —As a parting shot to the people of the State of Arizona, former Governor Janet Napolitano arranged to install scores of photo radar traps in a scheme to enrich campaign contributors and extort money from drivers. This despot then went off to join her pals in the Marxist Obama Regime. This was not about reducing accidents. They have been declining every year. This is about funding a runaway government. This was political extortion, pure and simple. Many people of Arizona hate the cameras as much as i do. There have been grass-roots efforts to shut them down. The politicians have not responded and have hired thugs to carry out the program. Throughout history only extreme violence seems to curb rogue governments. No I’m not weeping for the dead man, former golf pro, Doug Georgianni . The 51-year-old had worked for the extortion camera outfit called RedFlex for about three months. Truthfully I’d rather see a company official or politician responsible for the scheme ...
