SLO CITY CLER K
To : San Luis Obispo City Counci l
Subject : When did we get a PRECRHVIES DIVISION to the Police ?
It was a year ago last January that I was abused by the police on behalf o f
the Downtown Association over my use of my three wheeled mobility aid a t
the Farmer's Market in the downtown on Thursday nights . That went on for
a month and as you may remember compelled two complaint letters and tw o
citizens input sessions . In those complaints it was stated that the Downtow n
Association had without the benefit of any official complaint used thei r
agents on the police force to push their agenda of discrimination against a
senior citizen riding his mobility devise uniquely against me . The DTA
have a history of discrimination against me going back a couple of electio n
campaigns ago . In that month of police harassment the police first tried t o
have the DTA's security people be their messenger to order me to not us e
my mobility aid at the Farmer's Market or I would be given a ticket . That
precipitated my first complaint as I was uniquely being asked not to use m y
mobility aid . I attended the market anyway since there is no jurisdictio n
over a mobility aid . The next complaint was over my being rousted out o f
my bed at 1 AM on Thursday morning by two officers, one with his hand s
on his guns in the pose, and told that I would be given a ticket if I showed u p
at the market that night and also ordered to take my mobility aid to DM V
and get it verified . When I tried to get verification at DMV, the agent tol d
me that it could not be verified because it is not-a vehicle . I asked for som e
paper that would state that . I was told that it would be illegal for her to giv e
any document concerning a non vehicle . It was suggested that I take th e
ticket and go to court .
I went downtown that night and in the first block I was detained unde r
protest for a quarter of an hour by the same two officers that violated m y
privacy and the constitution early that morning . They calling in thei r
supervisor went delayed so they allowed me to continue and I got anothe r
couple of blocks down the market and I was detained again by the superviso r
and another officer with his hands on his guns . I was detained in the middl e
of the street for at least ten minutes while I protested having my Firs t
Amendment Rights violated . This was an obvious attempt to shutdown m y
main method of campaigning as it was an election year and the corrupt
elements of the downtown were trying to have the police do their dirty wor k
1
and have the police push their private agenda . After a while the superviso r
and his associate kidnapped me and move me off to the side of the road t o
continue the harassment. That went on for another ten minutes or so-.
Meanwhile the officer must have realized that he was being involved i n
some serious errors in their twisted enforcements . I noticed he had move d
over to the construction ditch at the curb and looked like he needed to puke .
I had had enough of the harassment by then and demanded to be given the
ticket. The supervisor pulled out his book and looked at it with hesitatio n
and returned it to his pocket . I told him that DMV had told me to take th e
ticket and go to court . That precipitated the second complaint at the nex t
council meeting . We can not have our police illegally doin g
unconstitutional actions against things that they do not have authority ove r
and if they are trying to stop the use of one mobility aid, then they have t o
give equal treatment to all mobility aids . They do not have a legal right t o
do that .
Now we have come a year past those complaints of harassment of m y
mobility aid and here we have a new supervisor and two backup officer s
once again trying to order my mobility aid off the Farmer's Market street .
This time it was like in that future movie where the PRECRIME S
DIVISION would hunt down people and by whatever rough methods woul d
arrest people for crimes that were computer predicted to be done in th e
future . This time I was approached by the three officers and rudely ordere d
to get my vehicle off the street . I objected that it was not a vehicle . They
went on to tell me that a woman had complained that I had almost run int o
her . My response was, "Is that like in horse shoes?" The discussion of m y
mobility aid went on for sometime while being detained for a not incident .
During that time several times I was threatened with impounding of m y
mobility aid that they were still trying to call a vehicle .
In our discussions I let the officers know that I was campaigning for th e
coming election. All the officers there told me that there is no election .I
insisted and turned around so they could read my campaign sign on m y
back. They were reluctant to give up their position that there was n o
election . Is it possible that the PRECRIME DIVISION of the police kno w
something the rest of us don't? It is on the internet that OBAMA will b e
declaring Martial Law and canceling elections . While they are watching ou t
for future crimes and accidents to prevent could they have been trying t o
spare me from wasting my time campaigning for an election that would b e
canceled anyway . On the other hand they did come off as being oblivious o f
2
the coming election . I finally convinced them that I was campaigning fo r
the coming election and was allowed to go back up the street but not withou t
some more commands that I was going the wrong way up the street . I woul d
add that the street was still closed although they had detained so long that
the market had ended but had not cleared out the booths . A little later I ha d
turned onto the side street heading for the post office to check my mail an d
the supervisor chastised me again for riding my mobility aid on the wron g
side of the street . That is a bunch of harassment crap since the street wa s
still closed to traffic with the street still blocked at Marsh Street . For what
legal reason would I be getting such harassment with such persistenc e
pushing non violations into issues . As it is, I have reason to complain tha t
the police have already participated in interfering with my electio n
campaign. It is not known if there is any involvement by the Downtow n
Association in this incident, but the reason that I campaign on my mobility
aid has its roots in their discrimination in the 2010 election campaign tha t
prompted that style of campaigning. Nothing was done against the DTA for
interfering with elections . Why is a candidate for public office getting the
jack boot treatment from the PRECRIMES DIVISION? The police have so
little to do that they have to harass people and invent laws . There are to o
many laws now for any person to know about without adding invented laws .
I would add that none of these novel laws have been tested fo r
Constitutionality .
The supervisor officer is not the same supervisor that harassed me tha t
couple of years ago and I did not recognize his face . I think that there are a
lot of new faces in the police department . Just what is the turn over rate in
the police department? Where do we get all these police and are they s o
new to the job that they do not know the law? It seems that the corporat e
mentality does not include any concerns for the Constitution and the Bill o f
Rights that our country was founded under . Will our governments an d
agencies ever attempt to operate under Constitutional rules? You as a cit y
council also bear the responsibility to defend the Constitution as sworn to u phold. Too many laws are being broken under color of authority .
So, here we starting into a new campaign for election season and already I
have had police interference in my campaign by police that were not eve naware that there is and election coming . How in touch with reality are the y
that they don't know the laws that they oppress up with, much less t he y
know about elections . Just following orders, but who orders th e
enforcement of these phantom laws . Are we getting NEW WORL D
3
ORDERS . Just because we have treason in our national government doin g
what they can to dismantle the Constitution, does that mean that our cit y
government has to be the rubber stamp for what is coming down on us fro m
higher up? Are the police jumping the gun on the Martial Law that i s
predicted and prepared to much for? How did we get a PRECRIME S
DIVISION? Enquiring minds want to know . Why do the same wrongfu l
harassments keep happening? How much misbehavior must we experienc e
before someone takes the reins to steer this city ship away from the rocks o f
litigation for the wrongful discriminatory harassment of our citizens .
Sincerely a Candidate for change ,
