Thank you Jamie. But i guess the officers supervisor didn't see the problem with it. My sisterinlaw was killed during a highspeed pusrsuit. That time they justified it by saying the guy was a threat to citizens,,, but how can they justify this officers lack of judgement for doing this for a seatbelt violator?? I just don't get it. I complained, and they did nothing. They just backerd the officer and then the officer himself justified it by saying he'd done the same 6+ more times that same day.like that makes it right or ok to do. It doesn't matter what we say as the tax paying citizen. In their eyes, and so many others', they have the right to do whatever they want, whenever they want, However they want and for whatever ridiculous reason(s), & we should just deal with it because in their eyes, they're 'just doing their job'.

Geez. Reread that post there buddy. I SAID, the police could then charge THE PERSON THAT SPIT ON THEM AND THREATENED THEM with, assult & battery & terrorist criminal threats. I did not say THEY were the one being charged with it. Try putting on your glasses before reading anything more. (Tuesday | post #250)
thats far from truth there 'facts'. We know Rough is 'the man'. And we also know he has done & did nothing to help remedy the situation,the sitiation that keeped growing in our small town, and to thid day is still a problem (at least it's a problem for the citizens, don't think the cops see it as such) We do not support him or the job he's 'done'. Apperently Rough doesn't see a problem either... or Carrigan Would already be gone, along with his infamous dueo. (Tuesday | post #362)

The only difference there is Sybal, that those officer then arrested these said visious people, charging them with assult & battery for the spittle, and criminal terrorist threats. Making them pay exorbinant fines for there misdeeds. If the officer commits some abuse on the citizen, he gets a paid vacation while the I.A. is done. & thats IT. That is the problem with the system.

power wrote: Marci: You relate abuse of power, are you referring to the officers abuse of power, or Mr O'Neill's abuse of power? The residents of Paradise are quite aware of abuse of power.The previous blogger (Another CHP victim) gave quite an interesting & explanatory description. What is puzzling to me is our children who ride school busses are not restrained by seat belts. Now figure that out. I never let my kids ride the bus, just for that reason. I can have my children taken from me for neglect or some other discriptive they'd plop in there, for not making my children restain themselves with their belts in my car. Yet, lets throw 30+ of um on a bus with a PUBLIC EMPLOYEE driving, and let um go where ever. It's rediculous to say the least. Then they think they have the 'right' to ticket an adult in his own car, for what?! Not wearing a seat belt. he wsa endangering himself. They endanger 30+ kids/ times how buses perday/ TWICE a day, EVERY school day, and there is no reprimand. (Tuesday | post #234)

No Marie. Because going to his super would do absolutley NOTHING. Who's to say he didn't or hasn't anyways? I called the super of a CHP i saw going 50-60mph up the turn lane in front of Discount Market in magalia, with no lights/sirens to warn other motorists ( i was walking up the road after walkinging my kids to school). I talked to his super, and he called me back about 3 hrs later after talking with said officer. He told me his officer was chasing down a seatbelt violator. Then he put that officer on the phone, and the officer smuggly stated that it had been him a saw that morning, and he'd done the same thing at least 6 other times after that, that morning. That officer got no disapline, hell they probabley laughed together after the phone call! & yet he, the one who's to protect & serve, ENDANGERED myself, and about 8 other car loads of people that morning. And that's only the ones i saw, does not include his other 6+ he admitted to doing the same way that day. No. Calling his super would do nothing. His writing of this article on the other hand, HAS. It's brought it to the publics attention. Some choose not to see, but thats not to say all are blind. (Tuesday | post #232)

So are you implying "All is Gossip", That anyone who voices their expierence(s) bad OR good with police and their 'behaviors', that they are all just gossiping? They maybe gossiping, but some of their stories are very true to life. And some without the wool over our eyes Know this, and the others,, well they just don't believe what they do not see. You can't always wrap things up with a little 'saying' and think it's ok, and there are no truths' to them at all. (Tuesday | post #229)

I've received a warning from a CHP officer,,, actually three now that i think abut it. It's Not uncommon for them to warn someone about something they've pulled that person over for. (Tuesday | post #227)

So what you're implying 'Hate whiners',is that the officers prior call ( this is 'satire' here, not what "really" happened on his prior call) to a guy beating his wife on the side of the road, rationalizes, and makes it ok for him on his next 'call', being poor Jamie in his car without a seat belt, to be rude, & unimforative, of his reasons for pulling him over?

I'll help you out here, with your problem of not understanding the meaning of something your claiming others of being, in which, in this case, we are. Constitutionalism; NOUN: Government in which power is distributed and limited by a system of laws that must be obeyed by the rulers. A constitutional system of government. Advocacy of such a system. OTHER FORMS: consti� tution� al�ist (Noun) (Sunday Jul 20 | post #142)

Intolerant. Yes. Of mistreatment of citizens, of the physical &/or verbal kind by any officer. You are negative & demeaning of the CCOP. So whats your point there? Liberal. No. I consider myself a conservative. Constitutionalists ? Yes. We are advocates of a Constitutional system. Violations against our rights as US citizens should be a concern for all of us. Unlaw abiding citizen? No. I am a law abiding citizen, as was my sister-in-law who was killed by the acts of two seperate junkies. One being a drug junky. The others being adrinaline junkies.

it's not about attention. It's about attitude. Maybe they both should get theirs in check. (Sunday Jul 20 | post #133)

This comment is not only distasteful, it's very uncalled for. No one should wish anyone to be gunned down. (Sunday Jul 20 | post #131)
