COMMENTER MISSTATES THE LAW IN DAILY PILOT ARTICLE ON DUI STOPS IN COSTA MESA
Julian Frost · Top Commenter
Teresa, cops don't pull people over randomly. There must be probable cause, which must stand up in court, or the case would be thrown out. Take a look at the California Vehicle code. There are over 40,000 reasons why a cop can pull a car over, but the simple ones like expired registration, improper registration tabs, and broken lights, are often the easiest to spot and make up the most common traffic offenses. Once there's a legal reason to pull a car over, the officer can start other investigations - like a DUI investigation - even though that was not the initial reason for the stop. Most people who believe they were pulled over for no reason, have never looked at the California Vehicle code.
Here's the truth: "Probable cause," is not required. A lower standard of "reasonable suspicion" is all that's needed for a cop to pull over a car.
This is often stated as "articulable reasonable suspicion." And, all a cop needs to do is say that he believed the driver was swerving or driving too slowly or too fast--even if that's not the case.
We believe that some cops are simply lurking near bars and restaurants at certain times of night and are stopping as many cars as they can in the expectation that they'll probably stumble across someone who has been drinking and driving.
In order to catch as many impaired drivers as possible, we believe they are engaged in quick catch and release procedures.
As we previously reported, the CM PRESSMOBILE has been stopped twice by cops in Costa Mesa even though we don't drink or do drugs and we weren't coming from bars or restaurants.
Both stops were bogus--the first stop was for "impeding" even though our car and the cop car were the only two cars on the road and the cop was even going in the opposite direction (!), and we were going the speed limit. We didn't get a ticket for anything, because, again, the excuse for stopping us was bogus.
The second bogus stop was because we supposedly "didn't stop before turning right on a red light (we did stop)." We didn't get a ticket once the cop realized we hadn't been drinking or doing drugs.
We figure the cops in both bogus stops didn't want to waste time writing up bogus tickets and just wanted to get back on the road to stop others who came along into their net.

In the above linked Daily Pilot article, the mayor says this:
"The message is that the community is 50-50 on the important issues," he said. "As an elected official, you have to look at that. They didn't go out there and give you a mandate to do whatever you're doing and continue to do."
We disagree. You do have a mandate. You could have won by one vote and this would have still been a mandate. Your mandate is to keep improving Costa Mesa. Period.
You sat respectfully on the dais and did a professional job in helping improve Costa Mesa for the past four years and what you got for your good efforts was a constant barrage of hate aimed at you by local scumbags who turned city council meetings into circus sideshows and who even called you a Hitler, a Mussolini and a dictator among other things.
You also had some city employees doing everything in their power--while on the city payroll--to undermine you and your efforts.
Through it all, you were polite and professional and you stayed on the improvement track. You showed true leadership under fire.
It's not easy to be called names every day and go home to your wife and kids and try to explain that the haters are wrong and that they are neurotic low I.Q. losers and the scum of the Earth.
Don't compromise with the haters. Stay on track. Constant improvement is the way!

CITY COUNCIL MEETING TONIGHT
Agenda.
The first city council meeting after Mayor Righeimer's tremendous victory over the haters who waged a four year campaign of hate against him!
It'll be interesting to see which scumbag haters show up with more of their hate tonight. Remember how these clowns spewed their garbage for the last four years about how they were going to defeat Righeimer? Remember how one weak seed kept calling the mayor a dictator?
These disgusting and low I.Q. jerks need to crawl back under their rocks.

“Predators, like this particular virus, play a very important role in population control,” Hewson said.
Yup. That's what the Ebola virus and the HIV virus do. They play a very important role in population control. However, "Hewson" isn't talking about those viruses, he's talking about the starfish wasting virus that is wiping out millions of starfish, HERE.
Nevertheless, the principle is the same. Study nature and evolution if you want to know about the so-called human condition. They are one.

as leece enters the chambers for the last time and walks the walk of shame to her seat (two crushing electoral defeats in 5 months) she will have only a few seconds to reflect on her accomplishments as a councilmember over the last 8 years. that is plenty of time to review and also to learn that CEO is Tom Hatch's title, not city manager.
ReplyDeletehaving read the comment about leece refusing , out of spite I would say, to call hatch CEO I watched for it tonite. fail. her last chance to do it right she called him the city manager again. good grief! get over it, you were not fit to be mayor and not fit for office. good to see no one on council support the lady circling the drain about a forensic audit of the 60th. riggy asked anyone on council to make a motion to do a forensic audit . silence. will we have to endure this stupid request another 104 times next year one note? just give it up. no traction. les suster wants the dg path investigated still. wow. let it go. it was a nothin'. just needs to see heads roll or not happy.
