So I investigate law enforcement, judge’s, elected officials and our California Public Pensions trying to expose the corruption we are being forced to accept. We must always respect and support those who practice the law in an even and ethical manner and demand it from those who do not. Here you can find data for SBCERS, VECRA, LACERA pensions as well as others.Magichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18380264001302738735noreply@blogger.comBlogger407125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6729570572384691251.post-31367570188418106612013-03-19T20:51:00.003-07:002013-03-21T21:55:43.758-07:00Virginia (Ramirez) Limon, Rest in Piece <span style="font-size: large;">I dedicate this to Virginia's Mom., her husband Pancho, their Families and Friends and all their guest from the City of Santa Barbara and Beyond.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #2a2a2a; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: large;">I just heard that Virginia (Ramirez) Limon has left us this past weekend. Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help with for her services. Will there be Mariachi's at her service's? I would be more than Happy to help Virginia hear Mariachi's one more time before she enters Heaven. A gift the Ramirez Family has given all of Santa Barbara for years. The Ramirez Fiesta party might start off with Pasqual Gamboa singing or the Orphans Mariachi from Mexico or a Mariachi group brought in by the family from all over California. Lets not forget the Azteca dancers that the family had entertain us for more years than I can count. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br style="background-color: white; color: #2a2a2a; font-family: Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 17px;" /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #2a2a2a; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: large;">Of course I better not forget the endless Margarita's and Tequila shots and their incredible Tri Tip BBQ feast at every party.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br style="background-color: white; color: #2a2a2a; font-family: Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 17px;" /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #2a2a2a; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: large;">Virginia's passing lets me know that God and Heaven must be short handed and in need of Angel's. God must of had no choice but to reach out and take her from us far to soon. When ever my ex-wife and I would come home for Fiesta's we always knew a good time would be had at the Ramirez Fiesta party, or her birthday celebrations. Some times I would not even come home for Fiesta's if there was no Ramirez party. I always looked forward to seeing Pancho in his Vestido de Charo, Virgina and her mother in there beautiful gowns and our friends like Ernie & Rita, Martin & Nellie , Michael & Hank just every one.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br style="background-color: white; color: #2a2a2a; font-family: Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 17px;" /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #2a2a2a; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: large;">God has a new Angel to help him put on the best celebrations Heaven has ever seen.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #2a2a2a; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: large;">Rest in Piece my Sweet Angel</span><br />

ACTUAL (SBCERS) PENSION FUND PERFORMANCE 1988-2007<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="line-height: 19.1875px;">Take a look at the Pension Growth graph below and how it represents the 8.16% Actuarial Rate nice and smooth. The reason I like the graph so much is because it is simple. It is just a smooth growth that does not care about assumption or Inflation factors. It all actuality that 8.16% is the all inclusive number, so why are the pension audits an the explanations that people give about them always trying to lose us with additional numbers and factors?</span></span><br />

If that data was added to the graph on the left the line representing</span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.1875px;"> 10.10% it would show that 600 million dollars more was earned for the pension than the 8.16%. Then if you add some more money because of the unfunded future pension obligations (UAAL) like I did the pension should have earned a billion dollars more than the 8.16% would have. I have made my own work sheet showing the differences between Santa Barbara County's Pension Assumptions and the SBCERS Pensions Actual Performances.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.1875px;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;"><span style="line-height: 18.90625px;">Now I included three graphs that I made this weekend. In all three examples the Red line is the desired or assumption rate growth the County desired, nice and smooth. But you have to remember if this benchmark is met the pension should then be properly funded depending on the beginning funding level.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.1875px;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;"><span style="line-height: 18.90625px;">The Pink line represents the actual net return on assets earned by the pension which was greater than the desired rate (Red) in all three graphs. </span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 13px; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">

<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.1875px;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;"><span style="line-height: 18.90625px;">The third Blue line takes into account that the County has represented additional contributions were required because of a constant unfunded future pension obligations (UAAL). By averaging the yearly additional contributions made because of the pension deficit then dividing that number by 12. You get a monthly deposit amount in addition to the multiplied rate 10.10% multiplied by the number of years (20) in a given period. Now in order to show how the monthly deposits affect the funds growth above the actual return rate I added the two factors together. So for example the chart below looks like this </span><span class="apple-converted-space" style="line-height: 18.90625px;"><i>starting value of $</i></span><i style="line-height: 18.90625px;">270,540,000 <span class="apple-converted-space">but adding a monthly for 20 years (H) deposit of 580,000</span> <span class="apple-converted-space">X 10.10% this would be equal to an ending value of </span></i><i style="line-height: 18.90625px;">$2.37 billion dollars. Or another way to show this would be </i><i style="line-height: 18.90625px;"><span class="apple-converted-space">270,540,000 X 11.16% (10.10 plus the effect of the additional contributions)(E) X 20 years is equal the same </span>$2.37 billion dollars.</i></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 13px; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.1875px;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;"><i style="line-height: 18.90625px;"><br /></i></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 13px; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.1875px;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;"><span style="line-height: 18.90625px;">Regardless of how complicated and confusing my explanation is the bottom line is this. In each graph below the pension funds value ( Pink or Blue) is always greater than the assumption (Red) rate by as much as a billion dollars. You cannot earn more than you wanted, contribute more than you had too, and have your Inflation factor below what you anticipated and have any type of deficit, it is mathematically impossible. So I hope you can understand why I have been working so hard on challenging what the real status of the SBCERS pension fund should be.</span></span></span></div>

<div style="background: white; line-height: 15.75pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; vertical-align: baseline;">
<i><span style="color: #333333; font-family: inherit; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;">Authoritarianism is a social system based on submission to
authority. Authoritarian governments typically concentrate all power in a
leader or leaders, with no accountability or limits on power. Leadership is
usually self-appointed, without input from the population or elections.
Authoritarian rule is often characterized by repressive regimes, the exclusion
of any political challengers, rigged elections, and the unregulated and
unaccountable use of power. There are no guarantees of civil liberties or
tolerance for political opposition. Its most extreme form is totalitarianism,
in which the government maintains authority over all aspects of public and
private life. Authoritarianism is at odds with democracy and individualism. The
change of authoritarian rule to democracy is referred to as democratization.<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>

<i><span style="color: #2a2a2a; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10.0pt;">So the issue is how the DA's crooked office is illegally forcing

legal prosecutorial theme, than defendant's witnesses are being threatened in <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:placename w:st="on">North</st1:placename> <st1:placetype w:st="on">County</st1:placetype></st1:place>
too. So ill-will testify or else if you do not go with the DA's program than
you are going to jail too? What the hell is going on? Pretty legally insane to
give <b>authoritarian rule</b> and gripe
for needing a new north jail in the county? If you get more information this
would be a good story from the CCC website. In service and let me know what you

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">Dear Friend you are absolutely
right with your concerns with the Santa Maria Police Department and District
Attorneys Office and the lengths they are willing to go in order to obtain an
illegal and UN Constitutional conviction.</span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 10pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">Last year it was brought to my attention from

Barbara D.A.’s office had created a new instrument to help them charge suspects
who otherwise could have never been charged, this instrument is called a “Ruse
Affidavit”. It is absolutely unbelievable to me that so many people whose sworn
duty it is to up hold the Constitution have failed miserably on so many levels.
Read what the media has said about the heavy handed tactics used in the north
county.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">Good morning Mr.

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 14.15pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">My name is Larry Mendoza
and I left you a phone message this morning. As promised I am forwarding to you
a file from the<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><st1:city w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on"><st1:city u2:st="on">Santa Maria</st1:city></st1:place></st1:city><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>police department that
includes some discussion about the use of a "Ruse Affidavit" as part
of their investigation. Best as I can tell Mr. Gennaco the term was coined by
the D.A. and Santa Maria Police. Here is my attempt to define the term 'Ruse
affidavit' based on how it is being used by the Santa Maria Police with the
permission of the Santa Barbara District Attorney's office; Definition of RUSE
AFFIDAVIT: obtaining a judicial signature with a fabricated sworn statement
included as part of the affidavit. The only purpose of this act is to induce
statements from a suspect whom they lack evidence for, by presenting these
known false statements and or facts as true. The fabricated Ruse Affidavit must
then be illegally removed from the court files once the suspect is charged so
that there is no proof of the arresting officer's Constitutional violation
against the now charged defendant.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 14.15pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">Mr. Gennaco I write a
blog called www.santabarbaracriminalcourtcorruptionblogspot.com I think the
title says it all. I first became aware of the "Ruse Affidavit" when
the defendants girlfriend contacted me and later forwarded me the same files I
have just sent you. I feared that this situation could become dangerous for
myself and said so in my posting. I decided that this abuse required me to at
the very least make the same files available to the public and hung them on my
blog. A few weeks later I was contacted by a reporter from<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><st1:city w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on"><st1:city u2:st="on">Santa
Maria</st1:city></st1:place></st1:city><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>who
found the files on line. We talked for about an hour and a half and he
published a story ten days later. I have included two links to news press
story's talking about what was happening with the two cases that included
"Ruse Affidavits' as part of their file.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">Mr. Gennaco I am not

I hope you take the time to compare the D.A.’s account of how many rounds were
fired and by whom against all the previous media reports. There is a huge
discrepancy here and I wrote about it on my blog, I have included a link below
to that story for your review.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">In closing I hope we can
have a phone conversation if you feel it could be valuable to your review. I
learned a new phrase yesterday that seems to apply in far too many situations

<i><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;">Mr. Churchill here is the example of how retroactive benefits created a pension deficit here in Santa Barbara County. The example is found on page 3 of County Auditor Controllers White Paper. If you notice his document was not created until 2006 to explain the action and loss of pension value that occurred between 1999 and 2000, also under Mr. Geis's watch.<o:p></o:p></span></span></i></div>

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial;">A link and the entire story can be found at the end of this
posting. I just wish people could be honest about the whole Gang Injunction
situation. Because truth be told the Santa Barbara Independent has released
crime data since 2009 that has shown a Gang Injunction could never be justified
by those numbers. In fact the only reason Gang Injunction talk came about was
to save <st1:city w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Santa Barbara</st1:place></st1:city>
police chief Cam Sanchez’s job. I feel he still needs to be FIRED because he
lacks any integrity and has no true leadership skills and that’s just for
starters. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 13.5pt;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial;">I have included some of my past postings where I challenged the exploitation
of truly sad and unnecessary deaths for political power. Further on you will
find some real “Gang Crime Data” all the way back to 2005. </span><span style="color: #181818; font-family: Arial;">The Democratic Central Committee has to
play politics not me, but ok we don’t need a Gang Injunction because of 2012 crime
data (wink wink).<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #181818; font-family: Arial;">In closing a few weeks back I went for a ride first on the Eastside,
then the Westside and finally the mesa and not only did I not see a “Gang
Member” I never saw no youth out. Now my ride was taken on a Saturday evening after
8:30 pm, oh and I did end up having a beer on <st1:street w:st="on"><st1:address w:st="on">State street</st1:address></st1:street> with some of the finer

<span style="color: #181818; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11.5pt; letter-spacing: .35pt;">The gang injunction was/is racist in motivation. This community like
most has the ability to scapegoat without reflection. We do have systemic
racial problems resulting phobic reactions. We elected council members, like
Randy Rowse who while addressing another mesa gang, of really an all anglo
crowd before him, praised them and actually flashed a 3-fingers down gang sign
while saying "Go Mesa!" The flashing of Rowses peoples gang sign was
not just an insensitivity but a provocation that no one seems to care about
because they are part of the problem. Otherwise we should have been aghast.
We've got a major malfunction going on here. The problem starts with our
chamber of commerce type club members who use people, chews them up and then

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 13.5pt;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial;">When you read numbers given out about "Gang Issues/Crime”
here in <st1:city w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Santa Barbara</st1:place></st1:city> more
often than not a high percentage number is used rather than factual numbers.
For example in last years 14 page District Attorney's budget flyer
(attached to this email) it immediately starts out on pg 3 under
"highlights key trends", with the statistic that
Gang crime is up by 1422% over the last ten years. In
order to get some type of perspective on the raise in "Gang
Crime" I looked at the right hand side of Page 3 and saw that the
S.B.D.A.'s office handled a total of 14,633 felony cases in 1 year. Then I went
to page 5 and saw were the D.A.'s office shows only 274 cases were classified
as "Gang", or in other words 0.0187 of 1% percent was "Gang
related". Now lets break that down even further and ask how many of the
274 case were from the City of <st1:city w:st="on">Santa Barbara</st1:city> and
what portion of those cases came from <st1:city w:st="on">Santa Maria</st1:city> and <st1:city w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Lompoc</st1:place></st1:city> . Let’s see
1422% vs. .0187 of 1 percent, 1422% does not seem to really reflect
anything does it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #181818; font-family: Arial;">The Democratic Central Committee voted overwhelmingly last week
to oppose the gang injunction proposed last March by Santa Barbara Police Chief
Cam Sanchez. The vote came at the instigation of Latino rights activists
affiliated with the new organization<span class="caps">PODER</span>, who argued
the injunction wasn’t warranted by existing crime rates and that the money spent
on the injunction would be more effectively spent on prevention programs
instead.

property values in affected neighborhoods and further stigmatize Latino youth.
“Let’s spend money on programs that help kids, not label them,” argued
Cesar Trujillo.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 16.5pt; margin-bottom: 11.25pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="color: #181818; font-family: Arial;">About 17 members of the Democratic Central Committee (<span class="caps">DCC</span>) voted to oppose the injunction, a handful abstained, and
a couple voted against taking action. Longtime Democratic Party activist Bob

injunction supporters before voting. Committtee executive Daraka Larimore-Hall
said the issues behind the gang injunction were hardly new, adding, “We’re a political
party, not a debating society.” Larimore-Hall and other critics of the gang
injunction expressed concern such a major policy direction was adopted without
any public hearing by the Santa Barbara City Council.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #181818; font-family: Arial;">To date, the City Council has reportedly not voted on the matter
but has been briefed on several occasions in closed-door hearings.
Councilmember Cathy Murillo, an opponent of the injunction, acknowledged she
participated in one such meeting but declined to provide any details of what

confidentiality concerns. While Murillo lauded the arguments made by<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><span class="caps">PODER</span><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>activists, she expressed skepticism
the injunction could be reversed. “That train left the station,” she said.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #181818; font-family: Arial;">Last week’s vote will cause further friction between the<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><span class="caps">DCC</span><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>and Santa Barbara Mayor Helene
Schneider, a Democrat, who appeared at the press conference with Police Chief
Sanchez when he first announced he would file civil legal action against 30 of
the “worst of the worst” gang members, limiting their ability to associate with
one another in public. Sanchez, who had opposed gang injunctions for years,
switched positions just months after two high-profile homicides took place in
2010 in which non-gang members were killed by gang members.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 16.5pt; margin-bottom: 11.25pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="color: #181818; font-family: Arial;">Though not available for comment this week, Sanchez has taken
issue with the argument that the injunction promotes ethnic profiling. The
Latino community, he’s insisted, has been disproportionately victimized by gang
activity. And though filed early last year, the gang injunction has been held
up in a variety of court actions. At issue is whether proponents of the
injunction can avail themselves to otherwise confidential juvenile records that
prosecutors insist are needed to make the injunction’s case. A case management
conference is scheduled this January. In the meantime,<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><span class="caps">PODER</span><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>intends to take its case to the Latino
Democrats, the<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><span class="caps">ACLU</span>,

<span style="color: #181818; font-family: Arial;">According to police records, gang incidents and gang-related
crime dropped in the past year. Reports of “gang related” events dropped from
259 this time last year to 179 for the first 10 months of 2012. The number of

Only the number
of taggings increased, from 734 to 956. Not all tagging, however, can be tied
to gangs. According to<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><span class="caps">FBI</span><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>statistics

When you read numbers given out about "Gang Issues/Crime” here in Santa Barbara more often than not a high percentage number is used rather than factual numbers. For example in last years 14 page District Attorney's budget flyer (attached to this email) it immediately starts out on pg 3 under "highlights key trends", with the statistic that Gang crime is up by 1422% over the last ten years. In order to get some type of perspective on the raise in "Gang Crime" I looked at the right hand side of Page 3 and saw that the S.B.D.A.'s office handled a total of 14,633 felony cases in 1 year. Then I went to page 5 and saw were the D.A.'s office shows only 274 cases were classified as "Gang", or in other words 0.0187 of 1% percent was "Gang related". Now lets break that down even further and ask how many of the 274 case were from the City of Santa Barbara and what portion of those cases came from Santa Maria and Lompoc . Let’s see 1422% vs. .0187 of 1 percent, 1422% does not seem to really reflect anything does it.</div>

<em style="border: none; color: inherit; line-height: 1.5;">"The October 1 trial date for the city’s proposed gang injunction — which, among other things, would restrict known gang members from wearing certain clothing and keep them from gathering in specific areas of the city — has been taken off-calendar by Superior Court Judge Colleen Sterne in order to allow the city more time to gather information.</em></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5;">
<em style="border: none; color: inherit; line-height: 1.5;">Attorneys from the city and District Attorney’s Office said in court Monday morning that they have filed 27 petitions with the juvenile court to have juvenile records released. Along with the Eastside and Westside gangs, the city named 30 people in the proposed injunction that it deemed the “baddest of the bad.” The petitions are all related to named defendants, while the three others apparently do not have juvenile records.</em></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5;">
<em style="border: none; color: inherit; line-height: 1.5;">When the city initially released 1,200 pages of information to defense attorneys, it had cited the juvenile records of more than 100 alleged gang members in support of the injunction. The judge decided that the public release of that information was not allowed, and that the city would have to petition the juvenile court to release the information, which is kept under seal. So the DA’s Office has filed the petitions, but the juvenile court has yet to hold any hearings on whether it will release the info. The matter will be back in court on 10/29."</em></div>

I am trying to keep this brief but there are several flaws with Santa Barbara's attempt at a “Gang Injunction”. One of the biggest objections by the community has with the "Gang Injunction" in its current version is that it has no provision that would allow for periodic reviews or expiration. The city of San Francisco's took a different approach in their Injunction;" <strong style="color: black; line-height: 1.5;"><em style="border: none; color: inherit; line-height: 1.5;">The City Attorney will also conduct a review of each gang injunction every three years to determine whether the injunction should continue in effect and, if so, if any individual should be removed from the enforcement list."</em></strong></div>

The first draft of Santa Barbara’s "Gang Injunctions” stated that the need exist because<strong style="color: black; line-height: 1.5;">; "<em style="border: none; color: inherit; line-height: 1.5;">The People have no plain, speedy or adequate remedy at law and will continue to suffer irreparable damage, injury, and harm unless equitable relief is granted."</em></strong> Fortunately for us that is a true statement and was an intentional act by our Forefathers when creating this Country of ours. Now I do not know the law, or the entire inn’s and outs of protecting a city. I do know what happens to a person when they are falsely charged with crimes by those within the criminal system first hand, and it almost ruined my life.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5;">
<br style="line-height: 1.5;" /></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5;">
Injunctions take away due process rights and criminalize normal behavior, such as being outside past an arbitrary time or associating with others on the list. In other words, if you are coming home later from work or attend a cultural event where someone else on the list shows up, you can be put in jail. Since such orders override a fundamental principle of natural justice that all parties should be given a fair hearing, they are to be issued with much restraint, and only in exceptional situations.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5;">
<br style="line-height: 1.5;" /></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5;">
In closing the math does not add up to justify the amount of harmful attention we give our youth especially through the media.<strong style="color: black; line-height: 1.5;"> I truly hope that those in the position to prevent the “Gang Injunction” do so in a swift manner so that we may begin focusing on other ways to work with our youth.</strong></div>

Below are three links and portions of opt out language for 3 different cities and their "Gang Injunctions", they differ quite a bit. Some times in order to get a better perspective about an issue in Santa Barbara, you have to compare how other Cities and Counties handled the same issue. For example the Fund for Santa Barbara does not seem to be against a Gang Injunction. What they seem to object to is the language with ours.</div>

CITY OF OAKLAND</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5;">
PETITION FOR REMOVAL FROM GANG INJUNCTION</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5;">
EXPEDITED ADMINISTRATIVE REVIEW PROCESS (“Opt-Out”)</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5;">
This form is for use by persons living in the city of Oakland who wish to be removed from an</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5;">
injunction legal proceeding (pre-injunction request), or from an injunction that has already been</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5;">
entered (post-injunction request). A gang injunction is an order from the Court which is</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5;">
enforceable only against those who have been personally served.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5;">
If you wish to be removed from a gang injunction proceeding or an injunction order, you must</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5;">
provide sufficient information to the city of Oakland to show that (1) You are not an active gang</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5;">
member and (2) You have not participated in any of the activities prohibited by a gang injunction</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5;">
for a period of two years following service of the injunction. Other relevant information will also</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5;">
be considered by the City.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5;">
You have the right not to participate in this administrative review process. You also have the</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5;">
right to seek relief directly in Court to have your name removed from a gang injunction</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5;">
proceeding or court order. You may file such a motion in Alameda Superior Court any bypass</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5;">
this administrative process, if you prefer.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5;">
THE REVIEW PROCESS</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5;">
The City will accept and review your petition if you believe that (a) your name should not have</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5;">
been included or should no longer be included in a gang injunction proceeding or injunction</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5;">
order, (b) you wish to have an expedited review process to have your name removed from a</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5;">
gang injunction proceeding or court order. The City’s review process is intended to provide</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5;">
individuals a fair and accessible way to show their entitlement to have their names removed</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5;">
from a gang injunction proceeding or court order.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5;">
The steps of the review and removal process are:</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5;">
1. FILING YOUR PETITION: You can complete this form or submit other documentation to</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5;">
show that you are not an active gang member or engaged in any of the activities prohibited by a</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5;">
gang injunction. You may submit any information or documents you think are relevant to your</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5;">
request. Instructions on where to file your petition are below.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5;">
2. REVIEW OF YOUR PETITION AND DECISION BY THE CITY: The City will review your</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5;">
petition and documents and will contact you to schedule a meeting to discuss your petition. You</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5;">
may bring an attorney or other person to the meeting.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5;">
3. DECISION ON YOUR PETITION: The City will review your petition and meet with you</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5;">
and will then decide whether your petition includes sufficient verifiable information to support</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5;">
your request for removal. You will be given a written decision, within 30 days, granting or</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5;">
denying your petition to have your name removed from a gang injunction proceeding or order</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5;">
and informing you of the reasons. This decision will be mailed to your home address, or, if you 2</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5;">
prefer for safety or convenience reasons, to another address of your choosing. A denial of your</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5;">
petition does not preclude you from seeking removal directly from the Court. Moreover, you are</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5;">
encouraged to return to the City and submit a new petition once you’re ready to show you the</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5;">
required documents and information that would support your petition.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5;">
4. PETITIONING THE COURT FOR REMOVAL: If your request for removal is granted by</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5;">
the City and you have been enjoined by the Court in an injunction, you still are required to file an</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5;">
application and/or motion with Alameda Superior Court to formally have your name removed</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5;">
from a court proceeding or court order. To facilitate this process, the City will not file any papers</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5;">
opposing your request for removal. If your petition is granted prior to the issuance of an</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5;">
injunction order.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5;">
If the City denies your request for removal, you still have the option of going to court and filing</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5;">
papers requesting removal directly from the Court. The City may oppose your request based on</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5;">
information and evidence that shows you remain involved in gang and nuisance activities within</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5;">
the Safety Zone.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5;">
5. OPT OUT ASSISTANCE: You may contact a community or civic organization if you</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5;">
have questions or need assistance with the City’s petition process, including but not limited to</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5;">
the Lawyers Committee for Civil Rights at (414) 543-9444.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5;">
CONFIDENTIALITY</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5;">
The City will keep the information obtained through the petition process confidential to the</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5;">
extent required by law and will only use your information to review your entitlement for the</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5;">
purpose stated in this application. The City will take into account any privacy concerns you</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5;">
might have related to the information you provide through this process.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5;">
As a condition of participating in this review process, you must agree not to use the City’s</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5;">
responses or information shared with you for any other purpose other than in connection with a</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5;">
motion you may file with the Court, or to show that you have been removed from a gang</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5;">
injunction order.</div>

<div style="line-height: 1.5;">
<em style="border: none; color: inherit; line-height: 1.5;">Criteria for Removal From a Civil Gang Injunction</em></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5;">
<em style="border: none; color: inherit; line-height: 1.5;">In deciding whether or not to approve or deny an individual's opt out request, the City Attorney will</em></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5;">
<em style="border: none; color: inherit; line-height: 1.5;">consider the totality of the circumstances and evidence when evaluating individual requests, the central</em></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5;">
<em style="border: none; color: inherit; line-height: 1.5;">criterion being whether the individual is currently an active gang member. Among other factors, the City</em></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5;">
<em style="border: none; color: inherit; line-height: 1.5;">Attorney will consider whether the individual is gainfully employed, pursuing an education, and any</em></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5;">
<em style="border: none; color: inherit; line-height: 1.5;">activities that demonstrate a willingness and desire not to engage or associate in gang related activities.</em></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5;">
<em style="border: none; color: inherit; line-height: 1.5;">The City Attorney will favorably consider evidence of an individual removing gang related tattoos,</em></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5;">
<em style="border: none; color: inherit; line-height: 1.5;">ceasing to wear gang colors, or ceasing to spend time with known gang members. The City Attorney will</em></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5;">
<em style="border: none; color: inherit; line-height: 1.5;">also consider relevant the length of time a person has disassociated himself or herself from the gang.</em></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5;">
<em style="border: none; color: inherit; line-height: 1.5;">Because the manner in which an individual disassociates from a gang will often be several and varied, the</em></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5;">
<em style="border: none; color: inherit; line-height: 1.5;">time factor may be different for different individuals, and it will be the totality of the evidence, including</em></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5;">
<em style="border: none; color: inherit; line-height: 1.5;">the time factor, that will be considered by the City Attorney.</em></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5;">
<em style="border: none; color: inherit; line-height: 1.5;"><strong style="color: black; line-height: 1.5;">The City Attorney will also conduct a review of each gang injunction every three years to determine </strong><strong style="color: black; line-height: 1.5;">whether the injunction should continue in effect and, if so, if any individual should be removed from the </strong><strong style="color: black; line-height: 1.5;">enforcement list. Should the City Attorney determine that an individual merits removal from an </strong><strong style="color: black; line-height: 1.5;">enforcement list as a result of that review, the City Attorney will seek a Court order modifying the </strong><strong style="color: black; line-height: 1.5;">injunction, and notice of removal will be issued to the affected individual. Parties to the opt out accord </strong><strong style="color: black; line-height: 1.5;">additionally agreed to meet and confer prior to the third anniversary of the memorandum of understanding </strong><strong style="color: black; line-height: 1.5;">to determine whether changes need to be made to its terms or scope.</strong></em></div>

<b><span class="h3color tiny" style="color: #e47911;">This review is from: </span><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Quiet-Ops-Bob-Burton/dp/188533964X/ref=cm_cr_pr_orig_subj" style="color: #004b91;">Quiet Ops (Paperback)</a></b></div>
As a long time avid follower of mysteries both in books and on TV (I own a complete DVD collection of every episode of the Inspector Morse TV series ever produced, for example) I am pleased to report that Quiet Ops, written by L. J. Martin and Bob Burton, is an exciting and entertaining read. The hero and owner of Quiet Ops, Mr. Brad "Bulldog" Bennedict, is a former Marine commando and Iraq veteran who is in the business of solving delicate problems for rich people. The clientele needs to be rich people because Bulldog's fees are high, and rich people often have intricate problems, the solution of which puts Bennedict and his associates in dangerous, sometimes life-threatening situations.<br /><br />Bulldog reminds me of Travis McGee, the hero in a series of mystery books I used to read years ago by the author John D MacDonald. Both were tough and fearless but they both had a strong moral code in terms of right and wrong as well as a soft side down deep. Bulldog is flashier than Travis McGee and he uses all the latest technologies and equipment to give him an advantage in his numerous risky endeavors. He has a number of friends and associates he hires for his various jobs, including a 350 pound Samoan called Cocoa and another former Marine and Iraq veteran nicknamed T-Rex, and they are all just as fearless, resourceful and tough as he is. Bulldog lives near Santa Barbara, California, but he has an office associate in Florida named Monique St. Marmont, who is an exceptionally attractive woman, but who fits in with the tough guys with no problem. These and other characters in the novel are particularly compelling people.<br /><br />The adventures undertaken by this group were exciting, and I found myself not wanting to stop reading in order to see what happened next. This is one of the most entertaining novels I have read in some time. I won't go into any story details in order to preserve the surprise and suspense, but there are plenty of both.<div style="clear: both; padding-top: 10px; width: 580.5px;">

When your business is fixing other people's problems, it tends to create difficulties in your own life. Brad "Bulldog" Benedict is the best in the correction of these problems but he may be in too deep with the latest case. Brad calls in all his best cohorts and even a few former enemies to help with rescuing two women caught up in something they cannot seem to escape. Brad has the ability to tweet the system to make the outcome turn his way yet this case is dogging him because nothing is falling into place as planned.<br /><br />Having great friends makes the case happen but the enemies seem to want to set the night on fire with revenge. Brad is trying to figure out who is working with him as much as against him. The thought that it might be the man who hired him is frightening even to a former Marine.<br /><br />This is one wild and fantastic read you should be prepared to take on and be mesmerized by from cover-to-cover. Every character is well written with realistic dialogue, the storyline compliments every page with fascinating interaction between every person in the book. The plot is fast paced and this read is complete package of delight.<div style="clear: both; padding-top: 10px; width: 580.5px;">

<b><span class="h3color tiny" style="color: #e47911;">This review is from: </span><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Quiet-Ops-Bob-Burton/dp/188533964X/ref=cm_cr_pr_orig_subj" style="color: #004b91;">Quiet Ops (Paperback)</a></b></div>
Quiet Ops is an exciting, can't put it down novel. Bob Burton's attention to detail about Santa Barbara and Palm Beach brings the reader onto the scene and into the local haunts of both towns. His characters bring you into a world that is a parallel universe to the normal everyday existence that most people live.<br /><br />The fast pace, quick turns and surprising outcomes are a hallmark of Mr. Burton's writing style and stories. In a nutshell his books take you away.<br /><br />If Quiet Ops existed and I had a problem outside or inside the law, I would not hesitate to hire him and his group.<br /><br />Quiet Ops is a LOUD SUCCESS!!!<div style="clear: both; padding-top: 10px; width: 580.5px;">

Quiet Ops is an exciting, non stop action thriller with so many interesting characters. The author's attention to detail about Santa Barbara and Palm Beach is amazing and the reader gets the real deal local hangouts of both cities. The characters bring you into a world that is way different than mine and probably yours as well.<br /><br />The writing style and quick turns in the dialog and storyline are intriguing to say the least. This is another winner. Great entertainment and suspense throughout. What a fantastic read!<div style="clear: both; padding-top: 10px; width: 580.5px;">

I enjoy action adventure, thriller, and mystery novels. Add those to the private investigator theme and it provided a great read. It's interesting how Brad "Bulldog" Benedict finds himself in the middle of several investigations and conflicts at the same time. Having a great support system and a thick skin certainly added to his success. Definitely a good read. My compliments to L. J. Martin.<div style="clear: both; padding-top: 10px; width: 580.5px;">

<b><span class="h3color tiny" style="color: #e47911;">This review is from: </span>Quiet Ops - The Bob Burton Series (Kindle Edition)</b></div>
Action adventure fans won't be disappointed with Quite Ops by L. J. Martin and real-life bounty hunter Bob Burton. The action starts on page one and the pace never slows down. The plot revolves around the resourceful Brad "Bulldog" Benedict as he and his adventures crew attempt to rescue twin daughters of a billionaire kidnapped by a famous rapper. This is a great read!<div style="clear: both; padding-top: 10px; width: 580.5px;">

This book sucks you in right from the start and keeps you reading all the way to the end. The characters, story line, action, and twists all come together to make this a book you won't want to put down.

This is a fast read. The good guys out-fight, out-shoot, and out-smart the bad guys. Similar to a Louis L'Amour story only the good guy has accomplices. You won't mistake this for great literature, but it's a fast, entertaining read that's hard to put down.<div style="clear: both; padding-top: 10px; width: 580.5px;">

Did He Use his Police Computer to View Child Pornography, That Question Was Never Answered.<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">Since 2006 I have shared my many concerns
with the Santa Barbara District Attorneys office and the inconsistencies in how
the law is applied when prosecuting their criminal cases. In regards to this
case against former </span><st1:city style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;" w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Santa Barbara</st1:place></st1:city><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">
police officer Brian Sawicki I just do not understand why it took almost 39
months to come to a conclusion. Are you aware that on average 83% of all California
Superior Courts misdemeanor cases filed are concluded with in 120 days? Based
on that data it took the </span><st1:city style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;" w:st="on">Santa Barbara</st1:city><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;"> district attorneys

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10.0pt;">Now I don’t want to beat this story
to death but I just feel the public has been duped again because there were
other serious issues besides his alleged lewd acts that seemed to have been
pushed under the rug. The issue of whether or not Mr. Sawicki had used his police
computer to view child pornography or who did was never answered. So if it was
not former officer Sawicki who was it and what has happen to that officer? The
fact that it is even possible for a law enforcement offer to watch child porn at
work without some type of alert being forwarded to management really bothers
me.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="background: white; line-height: 16.8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">A former <st1:city w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Santa
Barbara</st1:place></st1:city> police officer<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="http://www.noozhawk.com/article/santa_barbara_news_sawicki_verdict_lewd_conduct/" style="text-decoration: initial;" title="convicted"><span style="color: #a81519;">convicted</span></a>
of destroying evidence and resisting arrest in a lewd-conduct case was
sentenced Friday to 10 days in jail. Brian Kenneth Sawicki also was fined
$2,000 and placed on three years probation by Santa Barbara Superior Court
Judge Kay Kuns during the hearing in <st1:city w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Santa
Maria</st1:place></st1:city>. Sawicki will be allowed to apply to the
Sheriff’s Work Alternative Program (SWAP), which involves being assigned to
work sites throughout the county in lieu of spending time behind bars.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 16.8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10.0pt;">Last week, a Santa Maria jury returned a mixed verdict on
charges stemming from a 2009 incident during which Sawicki, 36, allegedly
exposed himself to two teenage girls — and engaged in unlawful electronic
peeping —at Refugio State Beach. <span style="background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">Sawicki was
acquitted of three misdemeanor charges — annoying or molesting a child, lewd
conduct in public, and unlawful electronic peeping.</span></span> He was convicted of misdemeanor counts of destroying
evidence and resisting arrest.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 16.8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">The case centered on the events of Aug. 10,
2009, when two 13-year-old girls told authorities they thought a man was
following them along a trail on a secluded area of Refugio beach. They
testified that they later saw him naked and masturbating on the beach as they
approached. The girls alerted an on-duty state park ranger, who tried to
approach Sawicki before he allegedly ran away. He was later caught and
arrested. After hearing his sentence Friday, Sawicki sat emotionless, sporting a
trial-long attitude that Kuns said had prompted her to choose the harsher end
of punishment.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 16.8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">Sawicki, who<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="http://www.noozhawk.com/article/091009_police_officer_accused_of_indecent_exposure_voluntarily_resigns/" style="text-decoration: initial;" title="resigned"><span style="color: #a81519;">resigned</span></a><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>after his arrest, faced a maximum of
two years in jail and $2,000 in fines for the two charges he was convicted of. Kuns
sided with all of Deputy District Attorney Brook Gerard’s sentencing suggestions,
even saying that she would’ve granted further punishment if the prosecution had
asked for it. Kuns granted stay-away orders that stipulate Sawicki cannot have
contact with the two teenage girls or their families. Sawicki must also stay
away from <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:placename w:st="on">Refugio</st1:placename>
<st1:placetype w:st="on">Beach</st1:placetype></st1:place>, and was ordered to
turn over his stealth camera, digital camera and high-tech binoculars.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 16.8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">While Sawicki’s attorney, Michael Scott,
conceded that Sawicki did delete an erotic video from his camera and ran from a
park ranger, he said Sawicki has already been punished.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; line-height: 16.8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">“This
case had nothing to do with interest in underage girls,” Scott said. “He’s
basically been on three years probation since this began. He’ll never work in
law enforcement again. His savings are pretty much gone. “What did he do? He
made a mistake. It was a three-minute pursuit; nobody was harmed. He lost a
great deal because of his decision to not stop for the ranger.” Scott said
Sawicki had no intention of contacting the girls, but he questioned whether he
should have to turn over his electronic devices. Gerard countered that Sawicki
was at a beach that park rangers testified is an area where families often go. “The
defendant resigning his position is not a punishment,” she added. Kuns agreed,
noting that she was also considering Sawicki’s actions in charges that he was
acquitted of, as allowed by law. “The court finds that there were some
aggravating circumstances,” Kuns said. “The notion and circumstance of the
conduct in this case were disturbing to say the least. The conduct itself was
disturbing.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 16.8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">The judge also said she didn’t believe Sawicki’s
testimony was completely truthful, and was upset by the fact that Sawicki so
willingly evaded an officer. “I wasn’t very impressed with Mr. Sawicki’s
attitude at times,” Kuns said. “Mr. Sawicki was a police officer. He was going
up a hill with a backpack… He would’ve been gone. There was no change in his
attitude… I think if Mr. Sawicki wants to sunbath, he’ll have to find a beach
much further south or north.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN;">Someone other than Brian Sawicki was using his computer to view teen
pornography, his attorney contends, because dispatch records show Sawicki, then
a <st1:city w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Santa Barbara</st1:place></st1:city>
police officer, was out responding to service calls at the time. The records,
which defense attorney Michael Scott, said recently surfaced, prompted Scott to
file a motion asking Superior Court Judge Kay Kuns to reconsider a ruling
denying the defense’s motion to exclude the pornography sites accessed on
Sawicki’s computer from evidence. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN;">Sawicki, 36, has been charged with five misdemeanors after he allegedly
committed lewd acts in front of two teenage girls on Aug. 10, 2009 at <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:placename w:st="on">Refugio</st1:placename> <st1:placetype w:st="on">State</st1:placetype> <st1:placetype w:st="on">Beach</st1:placetype></st1:place>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN;">On Friday, Kuns asked Scott during a hearing in <st1:city w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Santa Maria</st1:place></st1:city> to find out whether Sawicki was
ever off duty and possibly home on occasions the teen pornography websites were
visited on his desktop computer. Kuns then put off ruling on the defense’s
motion until a later date. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN;">The prosecution opposes the defense motion, and Deputy District Attorney
Brooke Gerard argued in court Friday that Sawicki could have stopped at home
during his work shift to visit the websites. “It wouldn’t be unheard of for the
defendant, who lives in <st1:city w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Santa Barbara</st1:place></st1:city>,
to go by his house,” she added<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN;">Scott countered that the person accessing the sites during Sawicki’s shifts
spent hours browsing them under Sawicki’s screen name, and couldn’t have been
Sawicki. Also addressed on Friday was another motion filed by Scott, this one
sealed for privacy, asking Kuns to let the jury in Sawicki’s upcoming trial
know that the sheriff’s sergeant charged with overseeing the Sawicki
investigation has also been accused of viewing child pornography on his own
computer. Kuns denied the defense motion on the grounds that the sergeant was
not accused of tampering with the Sawicki investigation. “If he was a primary
witness, this might be another story entirely,” the judge added. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN;">That sergeant was not criminally charged, and his name has not been made
public. According to Scott’s statements in court Friday, the person has since
left the Sheriff’s Department “under a cloud” of accusations. “This
individual was very integral in this investigation,” the attorney added. Gerard
argued before Kuns’ ruling that the sergeant in question had no time to
interfere with the initial investigation at the scene of Sawicki’s alleged
crimes on Aug. 10, 2009 before others arrived. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN;">“As a sex crimes prosecutor, it makes me desperately sad to say there are
hundreds of thousands of people out there looking at this kind of material,”
Gerard said. Sawicki, who is free on bail, is charged with annoying or
molesting a child, lewd conduct in a public place, unlawful electronic peeping,
destroying evidence and resisting, and obstructing or delaying a peace officer.
He no longer works for the Santa Barbara Police Department. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

walked back toward the campground, and saw the man lying down and masturbating,
according to sheriff’s officials. They ran to the campground and alerted a
state park ranger. While being interviewed, they saw the man and pointed him

<div class="ecxmsonormal" style="background: white; line-height: 15.0pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; line-height: 15pt;">My name is Lawrence Mendoza and I live in </span><st1:place style="font-family: Arial; line-height: 15pt;" w:st="on"><st1:city w:st="on">Santa Barbara</st1:city>, <st1:state w:st="on">California</st1:state></st1:place><span style="font-family: Arial; line-height: 15pt;">.
I was a victim of law enforcement stalking and judicial corruption starting
back in late 2005 and all of 2006. Based on my own experiences and research
into others it has become apparent that our Santa Barbara Superior Courts often
abuse us the public with illegal and unjust judgments and convictions. I feel we
must always demand ethical behavior from those who practice and administer the
law. So I continually examine and expose inappropriate and often illegal
activities by law enforcement, judges and elected officials here in </span><st1:place style="font-family: Arial; line-height: 15pt;" w:st="on"><st1:city w:st="on">Santa Barbara</st1:city></st1:place><span style="font-family: Arial; line-height: 15pt;">.</span></div>
<div class="ecxmsonormal" style="background: white; line-height: 15.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">In an attempt to protect myself I created a blog so
that I could share my investigative results on it. My blog can be found @ <a href="http://www.santabarbaracriminalcourtcorruption.blogspot.com/">http://www.santabarbaracriminalcourtcorruption.blogspot.com</a><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="ecxmsonormal" style="background: white; line-height: 15.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">My concern today is that some of our Temporary
Gubernatorial Appointees to the California Superior Court have committed
election fraud, when they intentionally failed to seek election to their first
full term as mandated by our State Constitution. <span style="background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">The
Constitution states clearly that if a vacant Judicial seat in Superior Court
was filled by a temporary gubernatorial appointee in a non-election (odd) year.
The appointee must then seek<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>election
to their first full term<span class="apple-converted-space"><b> </b>of six years </span>in the following
(even) year’s general primary.<span class="ecxapple-converted-space"> Now if</span><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>the temporary judicial vacancy was
filled in an (even) election year, the appointee must wait for the next even
year’s June general primary or roughly two years.</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="ecxmsonormal" style="background: white; line-height: 14.25pt; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Over the last six years I have spent countless hours
researching issues and events so that I could intelligently share my findings
with you. I know that this may seem like a complicated subject matter but
honestly after you view the side by side comparisons it is all pretty simple. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="ecxmsonormal" style="background: white; line-height: 14.25pt; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Today I will present to you six different examples of
when odd year Gubernatorial Appointees sought election to their first full term.
By the end of this posting it will be quite obvious that 3 judicial appointees
followed the law and three did not. So let’s start with Judges Overton and
Bondonno who were both appointed to the Santa Clara Superior Court bench in
July of 2005. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; font-family: Arial;">Now let’s
review when these two odd year Gubernatorial Appointees (July2005) initially sought
election to their first full term. </span><span lang="EN" style="font-family: Arial; mso-ansi-language: EN;">My research shows that Judge</span><span class="apple-converted-space"><span style="background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; font-family: Arial;"> </span></span><span style="background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; font-family: Arial;">Bondonno did indeed seek election in

<span lang="EN" style="font-family: Arial; mso-ansi-language: EN;">However,<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span></span><span style="background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; font-family: Arial;">the other 2005 appointee Judge Overton failed to seek<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>election in June 2006 like Judge
Bondonno. Instead Judge Overton chooses to wait two additional years finally
seeking her first full term in the June 2008 primary<span class="apple-converted-space">. </span>Consequently I think we can all agree that
she failed to comply with our Constitution<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><b>and
that is our problem!<o:p></o:p></b></span></div>
<div class="ecxmsonormal" style="background: white; line-height: 14.25pt; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">

<span style="background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; font-family: Arial;">Let’s look at one more example an odd</span><span style="background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; font-family: Arial;"> year Gubernatorial Appointee and when he ran for his first full term. Richard B. Ulmer
Jr. was appointed to the Superior Court of San Francisco by Governor<span class="ecxapple-converted-space"> Arnold Schwarzenegger</span><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>in June of 2009. Judge Ulmer Jr, Judge
Overton and Bondonno were all odd year appointees to the bench. The records show
that Judge Ulmer Jr ran for<span class="apple-converted-space"> his </span>election
in the next even numbered primary which for him was June 2010. So based on
these three examples the simple question we have to ask is what was it that
allowed Judge Overton to wait an additional two years before she ran for her first
full term?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="ecxmsonormal" style="background: white; line-height: 15.0pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">

<span style="font-family: Arial;">Now my next three examples all come from the Santa
Barbara Superior Court and just as in the first three examples all three were
appointed in odd numbered years. In<span style="background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;"> August of 2003 Governor<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><span class="ecxapple-converted-space">Gray Davis</span><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>appointed both Arthur A. Garcia<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>and
George C. Eskin<span class="apple-converted-space"> to the Santa Barbara Superior Court bench as
temporary judges. </span>Unfortunately my research shows that neither Judge
Garcia nor Judge Eskin ran for their first full term in the June 2004 Primary. Instead
it appears they both waited an additional two years for the June 2006 primary.
As I have already shown their actions as odd year appointees of 2003 dictated

<br />
As many of you already know I have been researching the
history of <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:placename w:st="on">Santa Barbara</st1:placename>
<st1:placetype w:st="on">County</st1:placetype></st1:place>’s reported SBCERS
Pension Earnings and Values for well over two years now. And as I often do I
unintentionally complicate my postings by supplying far too much data for
everyone to consume. So after five months and with the help of a friend I think
I am ready to wow you all with my representation of my pension findings and
will do so by using just two documents and some simple math.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The first document I have for you today is titled “SBCERS
History of Economic Assumptions” and covers 1981 through 2009. For my
presentation I will be starting in 1988 and ending in 2007 so just 20 years of
coverage. Really this document is a basic guideline of performance required to
full fill all the pensions’ future obligations. So in an effort to keep things
simple I averaged out each category over 20 years and here are the results. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span style="font-size: 16.0pt;"> </span>
SBCERS History of Economic Assumptions<span style="font-size: 16pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
1988-2007</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
A. The 20 Year Earnings Rate Assumptions Average for the
pension was 8.15%</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
B. The 20 Year CPI Inflation Assumptions Average for the
pension was 4.75%</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
C. The 20 Year Expected Real Rate of Return Average for the
pension was 3.40%</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Or A - B = C</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Call me simple but I am assuming that if the pension met all
3 these assumptions created by our County leader’s then one could also expect that
there would be no future pension value shortfalls. Unfortunately for us the
Santa Barbara County Pension is currently reported to have a One Billion dollar
deficit.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Now the second document I have for your review today has
already averaged out the pensions 20 years performance for us. We might call
document 1 the before and document 2 the after.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span style="font-size: 16.0pt;"> </span></b><b>History of Actual </b><b>SBCERS Pension Fund Performance</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
1988-2007</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
A. The Actual 20 Year Earnings Rate Average for the Pension
was 10.10%</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
B. The Actual 20 Year CPI Inflation Average for the Pension
was 3.10%</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
C. The Actual 20 Year Real Rate of Return Averaged for the Pension
was 7.00%</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Or A – B = C</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
People I ask is it just me or did the pension actually
exceed in spectacular fashion what our County leader’s had hoped for. Under A
the actual 20 Year Earnings exceeded the assumption by almost 20% and under B
the actual 20 Year CPI Inflation Average was almost 35% lower than the assumption.
It gets better folks because of these two outstanding results our real net
return was actually more than double the assumption of 3.40% and came in at a
full 7.00%.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<st1:placename w:st="on">Dear</st1:placename> <st1:placename w:st="on">Santa Barbara</st1:placename> <st1:placetype w:st="on">County</st1:placetype>
Residents and <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:placetype w:st="on">County</st1:placetype>
<st1:placename w:st="on">Employees</st1:placename></st1:place> how is it that
our SBCERS pension netted more than twice the desired real net return. Had
additional funds contributed over the same 20 years because of an alleged UN-funded balance, and is still reported to have a 1 Billion dollar deficit? Now
can you all understand why I have been saying for two years now it is
mathematically impossible for the SBCERS pension to be anything but fully
funded and with a rather large surplus. </div>

S.B.C.C.C. The place where COMMON SENSE never goes out of style!Magichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18380264001302738735noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6729570572384691251.post-76598640520576975492012-09-26T01:03:00.000-07:002012-09-26T04:16:57.896-07:00What do Two former Santa Barbara Supervisors, past and current Santa Barbara Superior Court Judges and Two current Candidates for the California State Senate all have in Common?<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5;">While preparing for your visit Bill (LawlessAmerica.com)</span><span class="mceItemHidden" style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5;">I did some additional research on our Superior Court and its Judges, what I found is nothing short of amazing. First I need to share a few facts about the Santa Barbara County Employees Pension System (<span class="hiddenSpellError" pre="" style="border-bottom-color: red; border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-width: 2px; cursor: default; line-height: 1.5;">SBCERS</span>) and what I was able to discover.</span><br />
<div style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px;">
<span class="mceItemHidden" style="line-height: 1.5;"> My research shows that in 97 the Santa Barbara County Employees Pension System (<span class="hiddenSpellError" pre="" style="border-bottom-color: red; border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-width: 2px; cursor: default; line-height: 1.5;">SBCERS</span>) values and funded levels had been retroactively reduced when compared to 1996. I uncovered this by comparing what had been previously reported to the State Controllers Office and the Bond Market on Wall Street. The years affected cover 1986-1996 and can be verified by comparing the County’s 2009 Employer-Employee Cost History against the archived pension audits I purchased from the California State Controllers Office.</span></div>
<div style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px;">
I want to start this posting by looking at <strong style="color: black; line-height: 1.5;">Mike Stoker </strong>who served as a Board of Supervisor for Santa Barbara County from 1986 through 1992. Then in 1994 California Secretary of State Bill Jones named Stoker Deputy Secretary of State where he served until January 2003 .Currently he is running against<strong style="color: black; line-height: 1.5;"> Hannah Beth Jackson</strong> for a seat on the California Senate. According to former Supervisor Mike Stoker, the deal public employees are getting (Pension) far exceeds the rest of the workforce, and it’s time for the county Board of Supervisors to level the playing field.</div>
<div style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px;">
<span class="mceItemHidden" style="line-height: 1.5;"> Mr. Stoker is far too modest because when he took his seat as a <span class="hiddenSpellError" pre="a " style="border-bottom-color: red; border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-width: 2px; cursor: default; line-height: 1.5;">County Supervisor</span> in 1986 the <span class="hiddenSpellError" pre="the " style="border-bottom-color: red; border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-width: 2px; cursor: default; line-height: 1.5;">SBCERS</span> pension was just fine and 102% funded. Someone should make Mr. Stoker aware that the original 1986 value of 102% has since been changed and is now being reported as only 67%. </span></div>
<div style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px;">
As for <strong style="color: black; line-height: 1.5;">Hannah Beth Jackson</strong> the other local candidate for the State Senate she just happens to be married to Santa Barbara <strong style="color: black; line-height: 1.5;"><span class="mceItemHidden" style="color: #444444; line-height: 1.5;">Superior Court Judge George <span class="hiddenSpellError" pre="George " style="border-bottom-color: red; border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-width: 2px; cursor: default; line-height: 1.5;">Eskin</span>.</span></strong> That’s right the very same Judge who was one of two 2003 gubernatorial appointees who broke the law by failing to put himself on the 2004 June primary and win his first full 6 year term. So I ask is the wife of a Judge who has committed a crime under the color of law really our best answer for the State Senate?</div>
<div style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px;">
Current Santa Barbara Superior Court <strong style="color: black; line-height: 1.5;">Judge Arthur Garcia</strong><span class="mceItemHidden" style="line-height: 1.5;"> is the other 2003 gubernatorial appointees who also failed to place himself on the 2004 June primary. When both <strong style="color: black; line-height: 1.5;"><span class="hiddenSpellError" pre="both " style="border-bottom-color: red; border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-width: 2px; color: #444444; cursor: default; line-height: 1.5;">Eskin</span></strong> and Garcia failed to retain their seats through election in 2004 and continued to occupy the bench. They both committed a crime under the color of law. In order for unlawful acts by any official to be done under "color of any law," the unlawful acts must be done while such official is purporting or pretending to act in the performance of his/her official duties. This definition includes, </span><strong style="color: black; line-height: 1.5;">Judges</strong>, Mayors and Council persons, Law Enforcement, Nursing Home Proprietors, Security Guards, etc., persons who are bound by laws, statutes ordinances, or customs.</div>
<div style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px;">
Next we have Santa Barbara Superior Court <strong style="color: black; line-height: 1.5;"><span class="mceItemHidden" style="color: #444444; line-height: 1.5;">Judge Timothy J. <span class="hiddenSpellError" pre="J " style="border-bottom-color: red; border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-width: 2px; cursor: default; line-height: 1.5;">Staffel</span>. </span></strong><span class="mceItemHidden" style="line-height: 1.5;">Who in 1992 was elected as Fourth District county Supervisor and represented the Santa Maria and Lompoc Valleys from 1993-1998. In June 1998, Governor Wilson then appointed him to the Santa Barbara County Superior Court. As I have already mentioned I uncovered conflicting values for the Santa Barbara County Employees Pension System (<span class="hiddenSpellError" pre="" style="border-bottom-color: red; border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-width: 2px; cursor: default; line-height: 1.5;">SBCERS</span>) pension while he was a seating Supervisor. All I can say about his service is how can Superior Court <strong style="color: black; line-height: 1.5;">Judge <span class="hiddenSpellError" pre="Judge " style="border-bottom-color: red; border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-width: 2px; color: #444444; cursor: default; line-height: 1.5;">Staffel</span> </strong>be oblivious to the fact that the pensions value and funded history had been retroactively altered on his watch. How can the public be sure his practice on the bench is any better?</span></div>
<div style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px;">
Now we get to Santa Barbara Superior Court <strong style="color: black; line-height: 1.5;">Judge James Herman</strong> who was appointed to the bench by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger in May 2005.and ran for election to his first full term in 2006 as per the States Constitution.

Below was my first attempt at tonight's posting</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I just wanted to send you a quick hello, and ask if you
already know where we will be filming at. I have been preparing for your visit
by checking my facts and getting all my documentation in order. You will of
course be having some Tri Tip BBQ while you visit <st1:city w:st="on">Santa Barbara</st1:city>. Because you have been
inundated with so much data while filming, I will try to keep this simple. All
month I have been preparing for our meeting double checking my data and
reassembling my documentation. –</div>

Bill I have uncovered archived audits from the California
State Controllers Office from 1996 and 1997 that report conflicting values for
the Santa Barbara County Employees Pension System (SBCERS) pension. I have all
the data required to substantiate these claims but let me give you the simple
example.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Initially both the California State Controllers records and
Wall Streets bond market showed that <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:placename w:st="on">Santa
Barbara</st1:placename> <st1:placetype w:st="on">County</st1:placetype></st1:place>
reported the pension was 102% funded with a value of over 225 million dollars. In 1996 the Controllers records reported the pensions actuarial value of assets was 587 million dollars and 92% funded.Below is a copy of the 1991 Controllers Audit that shows
that the County had in fact reported the pension to be 102% funded on 12/31/86.
This report also shows that as of 12/31/90 the pension was 89.2% funded.</div>

<br />
However in the 2009 County Employer-Employee Cost History
all the funded values and funded levels had been retroactively devalued. Look under
the sixth column from the left titled funded ratios on the cost sheet and you
can see that now it reports that the pension was only funded 67% on 12/31/86. I
have records that show originally the County reported that in 1988 the fund was
91%, 90 it was 83. %, in 92 88.6%, in 94 88.1% and finally 1995 was 92%. The cost
history sheet from 2009 on the other hand shows 1988 was 67.2% funded, 90 was
61.4%, 92 was 81.7%, 94 was 87.5% and 95 was 87.8% funded.<br />

So let me ask you all a simple question, if I started with a
102.% funded pension in 1986, do you think it would earn more than if I had
started with just a 67%? Well some how just the opposite is true with the
SBCERS Pension.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I have just a few more important points to share with you
that I hope shocks you.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The 1998 Controllers Audit above reports the funded levels for
1990 and 1992 match the cost history sheet from above. But go to the top left
side of this document and look under “Statement of Plan Net Assets as of June
30<sup>th</sup> 1998” and it reports the assets to be over 1 Billion dollars.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Now look under “Summary of Funding Position” on the lower
half of the page, were it shows the “Actuarial Value of Assets” to be almost
800,000 dollars as of 12/3198. How is it the pension was 25% greater net total
net value in June, yet in December its Actuarial was only 800,000?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
Also when I looked at one year earlier the “Statement of
Plan Net Assets as of June 30<sup>th</sup> 1997” reports the assets to be over
888,876,118. The “Summary of Funding Position” again on the lower half of the
document, shows the “Actuarial Value of Assets” to only be 693,399,597 on
12/3197. Once again the pension had a 25% greater net value in June than in
what Decembers Actuarial showed.<br />

<span style="font-family: Arial;">My name is Lawrence Mendoza and I live in <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:city w:st="on">Santa Barbara</st1:city>,
<st1:state w:st="on">California</st1:state></st1:place>. I was a victim
of judicial corruption, law enforcement stalking and legal corruption starting
in late 2005 and all of 2006. In an attempt to protect myself and prevent
others from also being victimized, I created my blog in order to share my
experiences through. The subject of today’s posting is as important as anything
I have written over these last six years. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial;">When must a Gubernatorial Appointee to the California
Superior Court seek re/election to their first full term of six years? What
happens if the temporary judicial appointee fails to seek re/election yet still
occupied their seat on the bench? <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoBodyText" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">The reason I ask is because it appears that some judicial
appointees have failed to seek reelection when required to by the law, my first
example comes from July of 2005. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #2a2a2a; font-family: Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px;">
Hello everyone I just received Lawless America's California filming itinerary. I am hoping that some of you may want to meet with William while he is filming here for his documentary. I was thinking maybe we can get a BBQ together and just meet the man and talk about his journey across America. Also I am wondering if any of my media friends might want to interview him as well. He also has a wants list so please take a look and see if you can help with any of them.</div>

I haven’t heard much about organization of efforts for Lawless America while I am in California. I will be spending 17 days in California – far more time than in any other state, so it is extremely important for this to be very productive time. (Itinerary is printed below.)<u></u><u></u></div>

<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 1.35em;">
I hope to have some agents join us for some of the filming as I am trying to get an agent to attempt to get us a weekly TV show; that would have a huge impact in exposing the corruption and building the support for change.<u></u><u></u></div>

<li class="ecxMsoNormal" style="line-height: 14px; margin: 0px 0px 3px;">If you would like to have us film at locations where important events in your story took place, or if you would like for me to confront corrupt people, please email<a href="mailto:BROLL@LawlessAmerica.com" style="color: #1155cc; cursor: pointer; line-height: 17px;">BROLL@LawlessAmerica.com</a> and <a href="mailto:LAWLESS411@gmail.com" style="color: #1155cc; cursor: pointer; line-height: 17px;">LAWLESS411@gmail.com</a>.

<li class="ecxMsoNormal" style="line-height: 14px; margin: 0px 0px 3px;">Consider ways that we can make this an event at every stop. Email your ideas to<a href="mailto:California@LawlessAmerica.com" style="color: #1155cc; cursor: pointer; line-height: 17px;">California@LawlessAmerica.com</a> and <a href="mailto:LAWLESS411@gmail.com" style="color: #1155cc; cursor: pointer; line-height: 17px;">LAWLESS411@gmail.com</a>. Maybe we should film on public property outside some studios where stars will see us? Maybe we should film on Hollywood Boulevard? Maybe the City of Hollywood would allow us to film for free) at the Hollywood sign? Use your creativity, and let’s see what we can come up with.</li>

<span style="color: #2a2a2a; font-family: Times New Roman, serif; font-size: small; line-height: normal;"><span style="line-height: 20px;">Earlier today I shared a web site and document that I felt could help us better understand what is right and wrong with how criminal investigations are being handled here in Santa Barbara County. Just a few moments ago I received the most incredible enlightening response from a friend of my blog and emails. In a mere two paragraphs they were able to sum up what I have been trying to grasp for years; what is wrong with Forensic Evidence and it's use by criminal courts. I hope you all find it this response as informative as I did..</span></span></div>

<span style="color: #1f497d; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 19px;">As you know, I am formally trained as a scientist. When I entered the field of forensic science after ten years of real science, I was confused for many years – little made sense. Thirty years and hundreds of cases later I understand: the criminal justice system in this country is not only stuck in the 19<sup style="line-height: 15px;">th</sup> century, criminal forensic science has been cast by the criminal justice system into something that is not even science. “Forensic science” is truly an oxymoron. The CSI programs on TV have no reflection of reality. The bottom line is any criminalist can testify in a court of law usually without fear of peer review, ever. He can express overt bias for his DA’s case without fear of repercussion. I have seen it all: outrageous lies and junk science to the extreme by opposing experts. The district attorneys’ offices in many jurisdictions are the equivalent of lynch mobs. Nothing has changed since the Dr Samuel Sheppard case of the mid 1950’s.</span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #2a2a2a; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in;">

<span style="color: #1f497d; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 19px;">The underlying principle of science is peer review, the work product of a scientist in the legal milieu is reports and testimony, none of which are ever made public. It is almost impossible to obtain reports or testimony transcripts of a criminalist or expert unless you have the big bucks to make it so (good luck dealing with a court reporter if you are not an attorney!). So many in this country have been wronged by our broken criminal justice system. Yet, what is so ironic - there are only a handful of people in this country who understand the underlying reasons that make it so bad. If you hear someone say that “our legal system is the best in the world” they do not realize there are tens of thousands of people who shouldn’t be in prison at all and those who are serving terms in excess for what they really did. “Lawless America” will hopefully show this country the travesty that our criminal justice system is and the continual injustices perpetrated by the system.</span></div>

IT SHOULD BE TO DISCOVER THE TRUTH!”<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
This past week I was sought out by somebody new to help them
review what happen in their friend’s trial and conviction. So I instructed them
to Googled”Efren Cruz Sues Santa Barbara” and see if there were any
similarities between their friends case and the Cruz case.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Any how the site at the bottom of this page came up in the
middle of the first page of results and I thought it had value. I tried to down
load the document but was unsuccessful, the document is titled;<b><o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b> “Investigation Process and Environment”</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Now I have taken a few selected quotes from the start of the
document in an effort to peak your curiosity. What makes this document relevant
to us here in <st1:city w:st="on">Santa Barbara</st1:city>
is that it uses the wrongful arrest and conviction of Efren Cruz by our
criminal justice system as an example. I
just think it can have some value for all of us that are working to make sure
our courts and convictions are just, I know mine was not.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It starts off asking</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“What is the purpose of the Criminal Investigation?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
What is the Goal of the Criminal Investigator?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Not meet a legal standard such as “beyond a reasonable doubt”.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Not to please superiors!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Not to get the public off the agency’s back”</div>

<div style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 13px;">
<div style="font-family: arial; font-size: small;">
1 my personal experiences with the Santa Barbara criminal courts, mental health and civil court. </div>
<div style="font-family: arial; font-size: small;">
2 on the fraud with Santa Barbara County's employees pension </div>
<div style="font-family: arial; font-size: small;">
(SBCERS) and the missing performance of at least two billion dollars. All verified by documents from the ca. state controller's office , this county and the bond market on wall street.</div>
<div style="font-family: arial; font-size: small;">
3 the use of "Ruse Affidavits" by the Santa Maria police department with the permission of the S.B. County D.A.'s office.</div>
<div style="font-family: arial; font-size: small;">
4 the attempt by the City of Santa Barbara to obtain a civil gang injunction the numbers do not warrant any such need.</div>
<div style="font-family: arial; font-size: small;">
5 the shooting death of Santa Maria police officer Albert Covarrubias by his fellow officer. The D.a.'s report to clear the shooting creates more questions than it answers.</div>
<div style="font-family: arial; font-size: small;">
6 The framing of 14 year old Ricardo Juarez for murder by Santa Barbara law enforcement and the D.A.'s office.</div>
<div style="font-family: arial; font-size: small;">
7 the election fraud being performed by many Superior Court Judges through out California when they fail to turn in their nomination papers as per the constitution of California. It appears that after some Judges have been appointed to the bench by the Governor some defy state law and wait an additional two years before turning in their nomination papers. I was able to verify this injustice by reviewing select years and the persons assigned to the bench by the Governor. Than I reviewed when each new member to the bench would submit his nomination papers, when one did the whole class should have. This posting on my blog has been gaining popularity this year.</div>

<div class="MsoBodyText" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; padding: 0px !important;">
My name is Lawrence Mendoza, and for the last two years I have been dealing with a work related injury living in <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:city w:st="on">Santa Barbara</st1:city>, <st1:state w:st="on">California</st1:state></st1:place>. I am a victim of judicial corruption, law enforcement stalking and corruption as well as legal corruption stemming from events that took place starting in late 2005 and all of 2006. As many of you might guess I am not the most popular person in <st1:city w:st="on">Santa Barbara</st1:city>, some people have taken a dim view of my blog and my efforts to share my experiences through it ( <a href="http://www.santabarbaracriminalcourtcorruption.blogspot.com/">www.santabarbaracriminalcourtcorruption.blogspot.com</a> ).</div>
<div class="MsoBodyText" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; padding: 0px !important;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoBodyText" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; padding: 0px !important;">
My blog came about because of serious malicious criminal charges that had been filed against me; including 7 strike-able offenses during 2006. At one point in time my public defender was sending me correspondence in jail stating she felt I would eventually be convicted of two life sentences. Also at the same time I was going through a very unnecessarily ugly divorce that still lacks the legal requirements needed to be accepted and finalized by a Superior Court Judge. To make matters worse these known illegal actions against me in criminal court, had an equally debilitating effect on my efforts to protect myself in family court.</div>

I can provide all the documentation needed to verify every single issue I am about to address starting with November of 2005. But as Lawless America understands even with the laws written and proper documentation, corruption in our law enforcement and judicial system is preventing many a chance at justice. Based on my lack of success in clearing my name and resolving some lingering issues I like many across America need an outlet such as Lawless America and William Windsor if we are to retain any hope, while forming a united front and demanding change.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="padding: 0px !important;">
I can only think of two reasons for what I went through and am now about to share with you;</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in; padding: 0px !important; text-indent: -0.25in;">
1-<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 7pt; text-indent: 0px !important;"> </span>To discredit me and all my allegations against the Santa Barbara police department, District Attorneys office, Mental Health and both the Criminal and Civil Courts including their Judicial officers</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in; padding: 0px !important; text-indent: -0.25in;">
2-<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 7pt; text-indent: 0px !important;"> </span>To teach me such a horrific lesson through fear that I drop all my future efforts and investigations into why I was followed from <st1:city style="text-indent: 0px !important;" w:st="on">Morgan Hill</st1:city> in October of 2005 by the SBPD and everything that followed.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="padding: 0px !important;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="padding: 0px !important;">
Six years have now passed and I still do not have an answer for everyone’s number one question, why did they do all of this to me.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="padding: 0px !important;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="padding: 0px !important;">
Here is a partial list of what I was forced to endure from November 05 through September 06 by <st1:city w:st="on">Santa Barbara</st1:city> law enforcement. To date I have been unable to get any local agency to investigate any of my allegations no matter how well documented by me.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="padding: 0px !important;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="padding: 0px !important;">
<b>November 2005<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="padding: 0px !important;">
I was illegally held for 14 days against my will in the <st1:city w:st="on">Santa Barbara</st1:city> mental health facility, placed their by the <st1:city w:st="on">Santa Barbara</st1:city> police department. While there a syringe full of drugs was administered to me, with several beatings to follow. I was then rushed to the hospital by ambulance for a CAT scan, with no official hospital records showing any such thing ever happen. However I do possess invoices paid by my medical insurance for both the ambulance and CAT scan. To date no agency in <st1:city w:st="on">Santa Barbara</st1:city> has been wiling to investigate.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="padding: 0px !important;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="padding: 0px !important;">
<b>January 2006- September of 2006<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="padding: 0px !important;">
Starting in January of 2006 until September of the same year I was arrested 5 separate times and charged with 7 felony strike-able charges. In one case I was forced to accept a three year suspended felony prison sentence for what was only a misdemeanor charge. I was also served divorce papers that January and the divorce lawyer used the criminal court abuse to his advantage through out the divorce process. In February of 06 I was arrested at gun point when I complained that law enforcement was actually robbing my hotel room of my assets. .</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="padding: 0px !important;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="padding: 0px !important;">
Another time I was held in jail for almost three months on an alleged violation of a protection order that was never allowed by the presiding Judge. The criminal minutes, felony minutes and other court documents all prove this; however the transcripts had been altered. Now my private attorney was witness to the Judges denial of any such protection order, however I had fired him and he never came to my defense. This made it the second time in less than six months that I was being illegally held against my will; only this time the opposing divorce attorney had a mission. On behalf of my then wife he filed a motion against me telling the court I had not completed my preliminary declaration and that I was none responsive. The motion was granted sanctions were allowed and recorded all without the Judge every being notified I was incarcerated during the whole process, this constitutes fraud by my ex spouse</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="padding: 0px !important;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="padding: 0px !important;">
Now please keep in mind that my own private attorney at the cost of ten thousand dollars was doing absolutely nothing to correct these injustices that I was being exposed to. For example my wife had signed under penalty of perjury that I had threatened her life, even though the 911 transcripts clearly prove that no such threat had ever been made by me. I also had requested my wife’s tax returns from the outset and my own attorney assured me I had no right to them, a huge falsehood. Her pay stubs had been altered and other times she submitted documentation printed from a computer screen rather than supply the correct physical copies of her pay stubs.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="padding: 0px !important;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="padding: 0px !important;">
The divorce was closed with out me ever obtaining her tax returns, without me ever providing my preliminary disclosure; this alone prevents a divorce from being finalized. Than add the fact that we both did not provide a final disclosure and or waiver so once again the divorce could not come to a conclusion. To make matters worse during this whole time frame no matter how much I informed my ex spouse what was wrong she was being reassured by her attorney that nothing was wrong and not to worry. She was actually so uneducated with the divorce process she still thinks I have no recourse.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="padding: 0px !important;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="padding: 0px !important;">
Now William this is just a general over view so that you may start preparing for our future meeting and interview.</div>

I guess by now most everyone has heard that our friend and community leader Matt Sanchez lost his battle with cancer earlier this month. Matt had confided in me about his illness but I never thought he would leave us so soon. From the moment he told me about his illness I had been thinking just how much Matt’s support has meant to me. I would try to regularly go by and visit him and as his condition worsened it was so hard for me not to share with others what he was going through.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="padding: 0px !important;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="padding: 0px !important;">
I guess the first time I admitted to myself he was losing his battle I had a friend with me and could not really talk with him about anything. So on my very next visit we embraced as usual but I asked him if he was ok and ready for what was coming, and Matt standing tall said to me he was at peace. For almost a month now I have been trying to write something about Matt and I just do not have the words. Even near the end when I would email him I came up blank;</div>

I thought Matt’s decision not to share with us all what was going on prevented others from showing him just how much he meant and was loved by us all, boy was I wrong. Below is a portion of Santa Barbara Independent writer Nick Welsh’s column from yesterday where he shares his experience at Matt’s memorial service. All that I can add to his article is how I felt at the end of the day. It was like I had attended a huge family wedding, the kind where friends and family who have moved away come home. It was the kind of event that with every turn there was someone else to greet with a huge embrace and share a memory about Matt. Truth be told I don’t think we will ever stop showing Matt’ Sanchez that we love him.</div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia;">“Having gotten that off my chest, let me express my amazement at how more than 1,500 people packed the Granada Theatre last Saturday afternoon to say so long to Matt Sanchez, the Montecito barber and former gang member who worked so long and so stubbornly to keep others from following the path he charted as a young, charismatic, and scary shot-caller from the Eastside. I knew Matt a little and was most struck by the raw stamina of his optimism, even when the tribulations of his own life would have given Job a run for his money. Sanchez’s gift was seeing the good in others, even</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: 'Arial Unicode MS';"> and</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia;"> especially</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: 'Arial Unicode MS';"> </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia;">when they couldn’t see it in themselves. Based on the testimony of several young men, Sanchez brought out the best in them. I was equally struck by the mix of pe</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia;">ople who showed up to get their ears seriously bent by some seriously talented speechifying preachers, including the likes of Father Greg Boyle, now almost a celebrity for his work with gang members in Los Angeles. Every vegetable from Santa Barbara’s salad bar was on hand: sitting judges, ex-cops, ex-gangsters, recovering addicts from every school of abuse, politicians past and present, a whole bunch of hoods he took to the woods, activists of every stripe, a sizable contingent of Harley riders, school board members who sought Sanchez’s advice before deciding whether to expel or to suspend, and plenty of patrons from the Montecito barbershop who, it became clear, gave Matt the “hundreds of dollars” it cost to take at-risk kids on field trips to the Sierras</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: 'Arial Unicode MS';"> </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia;">—</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: 'Arial Unicode MS';"> </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia;">as opposed to the “hundreds of thousands,” Sanchez said (via film clip) it costs to lock them up in a state facility instead. <b>And in terms of <st1:city w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Santa Barbara</st1:place></st1:city>’s persistent Juan</b> <b>Crow</b>, <b>white-brown cultural divide</b>, the memorial was spectacularly ecumenical. I</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia;"> admit I lost the point of the parable about Elijah, and Eligia, but the moral of the story of how Sanchez brought traffic on Highway 5 to a halt so he could rescue a dog loose on what would otherwise have been a fatal stretch of freeway was unmistakable.</span>”<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial;"> </span><span style="font-family: Arial;">Did you know that currently
the </span><st1:place style="font-family: Arial;" w:st="on"><st1:city w:st="on">Santa Maria</st1:city> <st1:state w:st="on">CA</st1:state></st1:place><span style="font-family: Arial;"> police department and their procedures
are being investigated by the Los Angeles County Office of Review at the
request of the Santa Maria City Council? I feel that this is a golden
opportunity for Lawless Americas and its documentary crew as it heads to </span><st1:state style="font-family: Arial;" w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">California</st1:place></st1:state><span style="font-family: Arial;">, and this
posting will explain why. Now this review came about after the questionable
shooting death of one of their officers Albert Covarrubias by another officer
during an attempt to arrest him. On the day prior to the shooting it had been
reported that Officer Covarrubias had been sexually involved with a 17 year old
female police explorer.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">This of course triggered the
investigation which lead to the decision on the following day to arrest him at
the conclusion of his late night early a.m. shift. Here is a link to the local
media’s initial coverage of the incident. Before you continue reading my story
it would help to read the Medias story first so as to keep things in logical
order.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<a href="http://santamariatimes.com/news/local/crime-and-courts/police-chief-gives-more-details-of-covarrubias-case/article_4bf5be6a-52f1-11e1-a6d7-001871e3ce6c.html">http://santamariatimes.com/news/local/crime-and-courts/police-chief-gives-more-details-of-covarrubias-case/article_4bf5be6a-52f1-11e1-a6d7-001871e3ce6c.html</a></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Now by that media account
and every other story I read they all claimed that Officer Covarrubias had fired
4 shots first while allegedly attempting to avoid arrest, and then was killed
by one fatal shot to the front chest. So three months after the Santa Barbara
County Sheriffs had turned over their investigation to the waiting District Attorney
Joyce Dudley. She released her report, which as expected cleared the officer in
question for the use of deadly force under the laws of <st1:state w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">California</st1:place></st1:state>. Regardless the Santa Maria Community
had been outraged from the very beginning and here is why.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Not even two months had
passed since the last questionable police officer involved shooting in <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:city w:st="on">Santa Maria</st1:city></st1:place>. In that incident
<span style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">two officers were hurt in a deadly
shootout with an armed drug suspect. At the conclusion of the investigation it
was found that the two officers were accidentally shot by their own fellow
officers. So you can understand why the community immediately began</span> challenging
almost every reported action taken by those in charge on the Covarrubias
situation. Please keep in mind that all the previous media reports were based
on the press conferences and information released by the <st1:city w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Santa Maria</st1:place></st1:city> police department. Believe me you
will find your effort well rewarded by the time I finish this posting. I must
warn you it is a bit lengthy but in the hands of William Windsor I expect great
things!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Here is a link to Santa
Barbara D.A. Dudley’s report; <span style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">@ </span><a href="http://magicinsantabarbara.files.wordpress.com/2012/06/da-report-on-sm-police-shooting.pdf"><span style="background: white; color: #cc6633;">http://magicinsantabarbara.files.wordpress.com/2012/06/da-report-on-sm-police-shooting.pdf</span></a><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; font-family: Arial;">.
After reading District Attorney Dudley’s report it is clear to me that <em><b>her only agenda was to camouflaging and conceal
questionable possibly illegal and at the very least unethical acts by all those
whose names appear in the report from the scrutiny of the public.</b></em></span><span style="font-family: Arial;"> <span style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">In the
shooting report summary found on page one</span> <span style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">District Attorney Dudley states what her role is with the
report; ”<strong> The District Attorneys role
in reviewing this homicide was to determine whether the shooting of Officer Covarrubias was
lawful and to provide a detailed explanation to the public about the facts and
law in that regard. This process “requires careful attention to the facts and
circumstances.” Hence, this analysis will give careful attention to both the
facts and the circumstances of the fatal shooting of Officer Covarrubias”.<o:p></o:p></strong></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<strong><span style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal;">It just bothers
me that her report failed miserably to live up to her summary and here is why.</span></strong><span style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; font-family: Arial;"> </span><span style="font-family: Arial;">If you remember correctly <span style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">originally the <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:city w:st="on">Santa

Officer Covarrubias, one to the upper back and two to the back of the neck. All
while another officer was positioned on top of Officer Covarrubias who was
being held face down to the ground.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .25in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .25in;">
<span style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; font-family: Arial;">We also learn in <st1:place w:st="on">Dudley</st1:place>’s
report that officer Covarrubias was actually wearing a bullet proof vest the
night he was killed. A fact that was some how missed by the Santa Maria Police
during the six previous months of press conferences. This fact alone would have never allowed for
one kill shot to the front chest and D.A. Dudley’s report proves this as well.
You she in her report the officer who killed Covarrubias did so with three
shots, one to the upper back and two to the back of the neck. The shot to the
upper back was not allowed to penetrate because of the vest, so it is safe to
say a shot to the front chest covered by the same vest would also prevent a
mortal wound.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; font-family: Arial;">I
just don’t understand how the facts could have been so misrepresented initially
by the Santa Maria Police Department during all those press conferences, or has
the District Attorney intentionally altered the truth. Also this story has
gathered National attention and not one single media source has taken the time
to compare the two accounts and their facts as I have.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Now if this was all I had we
would still have plenty to use for our documentary but I come bearing greater
gifts for William Windsor. You see I have an even more urgent concern with the
Santa Maria Police Department and District Attorneys Office. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Last year it was brought to
my attention from one of my blog readers that the <st1:city w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Santa Maria</st1:place></st1:city> police with the permission of the
D.A.’s office had created a new instrument to helped them charge suspects who
otherwise could have never been charged, this instrument is called a “Ruse
Affidavit”. It is absolutely unbelievable to me that so many people whose sworn
duty it is to up hold the Constitution have failed on so many different levels.
I know none of you have a clue as to what I am talking about but please bare
with me just a few more minutes.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">

hard to be surprised any more in regards to Judicial corruption based on our

because the Los Angeles County Office of Review already has </span></em><span style="font-family: Arial;">attorney Michael Gennaco in Santa Maria heading their

Good morning Mr. Gennaco,</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
My name is Larry Mendoza and I left you a phone message this
morning. As promised I am forwarding to you a file from the <st1:city w:st="on">Santa Maria</st1:city> police department that includes
some discussion about the use of a "Ruse Affidavit" as part of their
investigation. Best as I can tell Mr. Gennaco the term was coined by the D.A.
and Santa Maria Police. Here is my attempt to define the term 'Ruse affidavit'
based on how it is being used by the Santa Maria Police with the permission of
the Santa Barbara District Attorney's office; Definition of RUSE AFFIDAVIT:
obtaining a judicial signature with a fabricated sworn statement included as
part of the affidavit. The only purpose of this act is to induce statements
from a suspect whom they lack evidence for, by presenting these known false
statements and or facts as true. The fabricated Ruse Affidavit must then be
illegally removed from the court files once the suspect is charged so that
there is no proof of the arresting officer's Constitutional violation against
the now charged defendant.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Mr. Gennaco I write a blog called
www.santabarbaracriminalcourtcorruptionblogspot.com I think the title says it
all. I first became aware of the "Ruse Affidavit" when the defendants
girlfriend contacted me and later forwarded me the same files I have just sent
you. I feared that this situation could become dangerous for myself and said so
in my posting. I decided that this abuse required me to at the very least make
the same files available to the public and hung them on my blog. A few weeks
later I was contacted by a reporter from <st1:city w:st="on">Santa
Maria</st1:city> who found the files on line. We talked for about
an hour and a half and he published a story ten days later. I have included two
links to news press story's talking about what was happening with the two cases
that included "Ruse Affidavits' as part of their file.</div>

to <st1:city w:st="on">Santa Maria</st1:city>?
I hope you take the time to compare the D.A.’s account of how many rounds were
fired and by whom against all the previous media reports. There is a huge
discrepancy here and I wrote about it on my blog, I have included a link below to
that story for your review..</div>

In closing I hope we can have a phone conversation if you

Matthew F. Sanchez was born August 22, 1959, in Lynwood, California. He moved to Santa Barbara with his family in 1964, and he attended Our Lady of Guadalupe School and Bishop Diego García High. In 1977, he became a proud Marine, serving his country for four years. With a foundation of strong character attributes, sharpened by proud parents and supportive family, Matt was a natural leader. He taught us, “It’s not blood but rather love that binds us together.” No matter what his connection — as dad, grandpa, son, uncle, compa, brother, friend, or “Matt, honey” — he sealed it with love and commitment, and once that connection was made, it was hard to break.</div>
<div style="color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 16px; letter-spacing: 0.25px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1px;">
He was the epitome of the God kind of love; heart always guided him. Matt would look you in the eye, ask you your name, and never forget it. For young and old, across racial, social, and economic lines, he made you feel like he was one of your best friends. There are so many who were positively influenced by Matt, be they family member, friend, or a young person he’d just met. Matt poured himself out to people and never considered it time wasted. He believed in positive human potential and that no one was without it.</div>
<div style="color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 16px; letter-spacing: 0.25px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1px;">
His humor permeated the atmosphere in his home away from home, Montecito Barbers, where he interacted with friends others might call customers. It was not uncommon for folks to stop by for just a glimpse of that smile to brighten up their day.</div>
<div style="color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 16px; letter-spacing: 0.25px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1px;">
His friend Jim Lichtman recently ended his monthly ethics blog with this question: “What are the better angels of our nature, and how can each of us more ably demonstrate their spirit?” The better angels of Matt’s nature are demonstrated by the love and influence he and his partner, Dawn, have instilled in their family and by the time and help Matt readily gave to friends new and old. They are demonstrated in the effort he gave to make you laugh and smile and in the many ways he ministered to the needs of others at the expense of his own — early wakeups, a multitude of calls, emails, and texts; writing and sending letters; and face-to-face visits to motivate and encourage positive change.</div>
<div style="color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 16px; letter-spacing: 0.25px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1px;">
Matt was met with challenges and frustration along the way, but ultimately he found peace — year by year, day by day, hour by hour, step by step. His joy was in sharing it, to his last breath, letting us all know he made it to a place of ultimate peace. Rest in peace, beloved! We will miss you tremendously, and we are stronger because of you. Thank you for teaching us the meaning of love. We love you, and we will forever love each other more because of you.</div>

Matt leaves us with the gifts of his wife, Dawn; children Joshua (Monica), Adriana (Alex), Manuel (Priscilla), Matt (Leah), Amber, Tim (Lauren), Daniel (Sarah), and Elijah; and grandchildren Arianna, Joshua, Leilani, Brianna, Selena, <span class="caps" style="line-height: 1.22em; outline: none;">AJ</span>, Isabela, Athaliah, and Lilly. Also surviving him are his parents, Sally and Bob Sanchez, and siblings Antoinette (Richard), James (Tanya), Renee, Tim, and Karen (Luc), and numerous nephews, nieces, cousins, uncles, aunts, and friends. Matt was predeceased by his brother Keith.</div>

There will be a memorial service to celebrate his life and legacy on Saturday, August 25, at 1 p.m., at the Granada Theatre.</div>

His legacy will live on through AllforOne Youth and Mentoring, the organization he founded. Please take some time to visit the website and register your comments of support for continuation of his vision for peace (allforonesb.org). — Richard Muñoz</div>

The compelling voice of Matt Sanchez was silenced on August 8, 2012. Yet his influence will continue for generations in the changed hearts and lives of the many young people he touched.</div>
<div style="color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 16px; letter-spacing: 0.25px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1px;">
It is always a challenge to assess a life and legacy, especially one as varied as Matt’s. Perhaps a drawing Matt loved and prized will help some understand what motivated this extraordinary man. The drawing is a realist pencil piece by my brother, Anthony Prieto, portraying many of the original members of the Varrio Hoods. The drawing includes Matt, his brother Keith, Chato, Moose, Dreamer, Huerito, my brother, and me in front of a wall with the Varrio Hoods scroll. A few years back, Matt and I spent a day taking this drawing to classrooms in Santa Barbara and Carpinteria to share about our experiences. Matt’s past acts as a young man demonstrated his authenticity and served as a cautionary tale to the students; his acts as an adult demonstrated his dedication to their lives.</div>
<div style="color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 16px; letter-spacing: 0.25px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1px;">
Matt explained to the students that the Varrio Hoods were from all parts of Santa Barbara and transcended Eastside or Westside. The Hoods were committed to defending Santa Barbara from outside gangs. Some may say this explanation is a revisionist justification and glorification of the gang lifestyle. The reality, sad but true, is too many of our young people and communities are suffering the effects of gang membership and affiliation. Matt committed his adult life to bring reconciliation and healing to the lives shattered by this lifestyle.</div>
<div style="color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 16px; letter-spacing: 0.25px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1px;">
The concept of the Varrio Hoods as a protector and unifier would serve as a foundation for Matt’s Hoods in the Woods efforts. I attended the first Hoods in the Woods expedition. Young men were taken out of their neighborhoods to go camping. For some it was their first time away from home. I still remember listening to the raw and honest conversations between the young men and the counselors, many ex-gang members. Only Matt’s presence and vision could compel those young men to shed their neighborhood affiliations and begin to understand their commonalities and potential.</div>
<div style="color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 16px; letter-spacing: 0.25px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1px;">
Matt also shared during our visits with the students how he and others protected me because they believed I had a good chance to succeed. He was proud of my career as a lawyer. I will always be grateful to Matt and the Hoods. We best emulate Matt when we serve and love those whom society fears and shuns.</div>
<div style="color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 16px; letter-spacing: 0.25px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1px;">
I join many at-risk youth as I mourn for the loss of a dear homeboy and carnal. I grieve for the Sanchez family as they deal with the loss of a beloved husband, father, son, brother, and uncle. I pray that the people of Santa Barbara realize they have lost a prince of peace. — Jeff Prieto</div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; line-height: 17px;"><br class="Apple-interchange-newline" />When you read numbers given out about "Gang Issues/Crime” here in </span><st1:city style="color: #181818; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; line-height: 17px;" w:st="on">Santa Barbara</st1:city><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; line-height: 17px;"> more often than not a high percentage number is used rather than factual numbers. For example in last years 14 page District Attorney's budget flyer (attached to this email) it immediately starts out on pg 3 under "highlights key trends", with the statistic that Gang crime is up by1422% over the last ten years. In order to get some type of perspective on the raise in "Gang Crime" I looked at the right hand side of Page 3 and saw that the S.B.D.A.'s office handled a total of 14,633 felony cases in 1 year. Then I went to page 5 and saw were the D.A.'s office shows only 274 cases were classified as "Gang", or in other words 0.0187 of 1% percent was "Gang related". Now lets break that down even further and ask how many of the 274 case were from the City of </span><st1:city style="color: #181818; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; line-height: 17px;" w:st="on">Santa Barbara</st1:city><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; line-height: 17px;"> </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; line-height: 17px;"> </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; line-height: 17px;">and what portion of those cases came from </span><st1:city style="color: #181818; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; line-height: 17px;" w:st="on">Santa Maria</st1:city><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; line-height: 17px;"> and </span><st1:city style="color: #181818; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; line-height: 17px;" w:st="on">Lompoc</st1:city><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; line-height: 17px;"> . Let’s see 1422% vs. .0187 of 1 percent, 1422% does not seem to really reflect anything does it. </span><br />

<i>"The October 1 trial date for the city’s proposed gang injunction — which, among other things, would restrict known gang members from wearing certain clothing and keep them from gathering in specific areas of the city — has been taken off-calendar by Superior Court Judge Colleen Sterne in order to allow the city more time to gather information.</i></div>

<i>Attorneys from the city and District Attorney’s Office said in court Monday morning that they have filed 27 petitions with the juvenile court to have juvenile records released. Along with the Eastside and Westside gangs, the city named 30 people in the proposed injunction that it deemed the “baddest of the bad.” The petitions are all related to named defendants, while the three others apparently do not have juvenile records.</i></div>

<i>When the city initially released 1,200 pages of information to defense attorneys, it had cited the juvenile records of more than 100 alleged gang members in support of the injunction. The judge decided that the public release of that information was not allowed, and that the city would have to petition the juvenile court to release the information, which is kept under seal. So the <span class="caps" style="line-height: 1.22em; outline: none;">DA</span>’s Office has filed the petitions, but the juvenile court has yet to hold any hearings on whether it will release the info. The matter will be back in court on 10/29."</i></div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial;">I am trying to keep this brief but there are several flaws with <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:city w:st="on">Santa Barbara</st1:city></st1:place>'s attempt at a “Gang Injunction”. One of the biggest objections by the community has with the "Gang Injunction" in its current version is that it has no provision that would allow for periodic reviews or expiration. The city of San Francisco's took a different approach in their Injunction;" <b><i>The City Attorney will also conduct a review of each gang injunction every three years to determine whether the injunction should continue in effect and, if so, if any individual should be removed from the enforcement list."</i></b></span><span style="color: #2a2a2a; font-family: Arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

Now I do not know the law, or the entire inn’s and outs of protecting a city. I do know what happens to a person when they are falsely charged with crimes by those within the criminal system first hand, and it almost ruined my life.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; line-height: 12.75pt; padding: 0px !important;">
<span style="color: #2a2a2a; font-family: Arial;">Injunctions take away due process rights and criminalize normal behavior, such as being outside past an arbitrary time or associating with others on the list. In other words, if you are coming home later from work or attend a cultural event where someone else on the list shows up, you can be put in jail. <span style="background-color: white;">Since such orders override a fundamental principle of natural justice that all parties should be given a fair hearing, they are to be issued with much restraint, and only in exceptional situations.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

Below are three links and portions of opt out language for 3 different cities and their "Gang Injunctions", they differ quite a bit. Some times in order to get a better perspective about an issue in Santa Barbara, you have to compare how other Cities and Counties handled the same issue. For example the Fund for Santa Barbara does not seem to be against a Gang Injunction. What they seem to object to is the language with ours.</div>
