A nice story.


Interest how little response it gets. Isn't it? Not as stimulating as blood-dripping red meat; as measured by. I've noticed the same with my posts and threads.

Why is that a new low? I've read a lot of news stories of dispensaries in SoCal being used as fronts for larger, broader drug operations. Have you reviewed the search warrant and affidavits submitted in support of the warrant?

I see my tongue-firmly-in-cheek comment is NOT for the. humor-challenged.

Don't you mean 'A new high'? One or more of them have been charged with taking and eating marijuana cookies while this was going on. There's a video but I don't have the time to link it right now...

In my last year as a prosecutor I started experiencing rapidly deteriorating health, which of course was ultimately diagnosed as multiple sclerosis almost a year ago.

My D.O. had urged me to do whatever I could to reduce my intense stress levels - greatly exacerbated beyond that of a typical overloaded public interest attorney because I was working with stupid and/or corrupt cops, a dangerously negligent county commissioner and his pack of teabagger idiot followers, and dealing with a mentally ill local sovereign citizen who carried guns on his person at all times and was actively stalking and harassing me - and against whom the district court ultimately granted me a lifetime protection order. (For whatever that's worth :roll: )

A dear friend from law school advised that I might try her technique for stress reduction, watching lots of fantasy-based TV programs and steering clear of the more serious fare.

That sounded like a good idea.

So I started watching Blue Bloods with Tom Selleck - because there is nothing so fantastical than a show about a bunch of noble, intelligent cops who strictly adhere to ethical guidelines. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

As Joe said, a new "high" would have been funny. Otherwise, :shrug

LACoSD has long been notorious for stealing money from drug dealers and passing it out to deputies. Orange county is just copying their neighbor.

6 Deputies Guilty in Corruption Case : Narcotics: Members of elite team convicted of conspiring to steal cash from traffickers, money launderers. Hundreds of thousands of dollars involved.
December 11, 1990|VICTOR MERINA and GEORGE RAMOS | TIMES STAFF WRITERS

Six Los Angeles County sheriff's deputies were convicted Monday of conspiring to steal cash seized from drug traffickers and money launderers, the first prosecutorial victory in a widening corruption investigation that has touched dozens of narcotics officers.

The veteran deputies, who worked on an elite team investigating major drug cases, were found guilty by a federal court jury of 24 criminal charges, including conspiracy, theft, money-laundering, racketeering and tax evasion.

The federal and local investigation that led to their convictions has already resulted in the dismantling of anti-drug squads in the Sheriff's Department, the transfer of dozens of narcotics officers and allegations of similar conduct by several members of the Los Angeles Police Department.

Nearly two-dozen criminal cases have been dismissed, plea bargained or are under review as a result of the corruption scandal, one of the worst in the region's law enforcement history.

"The verdicts handed down today are not an occasion to celebrate, they are not a victory," Sheriff Sherman Block said in a statement released Monday. "They are the just conclusion to the unlawful actions of a few who sought to hide their crimes behind a badge of honor."

The jury also convicted a seventh officer on one count of circumventing bank reporting requirements to conceal large cash deposits, while acquitting three of the deputies on a charge that they stole more than $500,000 in a single raid.

Facing prison terms of as long as 53 years, the deputies are scheduled to be sentenced in January and February. ... "
