I find it interesting that the district attorney requests the community to help locate these people yet when arrresed they are taken to jail just to be cited and released. Why bother? Kaitlyn Tavares was wanted last week and she was immediately let back out. Sorry. I’m not going to waste my time and effort for a cite and release. Do your own work folks. And how about when someone gets stabbed multiple times, almost dies, and identifies the attacker, you have the balls to prosecute the punk? How does that sound DA?!

Can’t change our system by complaining, but we can make the criminals day or week unpleasant or help our community to be safer for a min. Lee is a sad case he robbed his own grandma and that’s not even the burglary charges he’s facing. So protect your own family and turn him in ! And if anyone noticed his Dad was the one who choked his girlfriend out in fortuna yesterday.

We have solar lock-down, weather warfare and goon squads on the take, but, let’s get distracted by what the District A repeats like a trained monkey regarding “Controlled Substances,” oooo, and the second amendment right to be armed as a last-ditch front to preserve our rights against those who are born here and practicing a foreign jurisdiction on American soil – the traiterous British aligned BAR BARs.

Those so-called “warrants” are as fake as Fleming.

“Arraignment” -lmao- is in the Matrix. The first step into the pit of vipers for anyone entering as a labeled “Defendant,” is the show cause hearing. Where’s the accuser.? Where’s the valid complaint signed under penalties of perjury by a fact witness to a crime? How much is the performance bond on the trust’s NAME that phonetically sounds like the one you go by?

If you find yourself up against the devil-doers, in their dog and pony show arena, and they offer to contract (ruling, opinion, order), ask for a ‘lawful’ order.

Fiction can only create more fiction. Hence, the pirate in the black robe cannot produce a lawful order.

“Failed to Appear” -even funnier. Upon attack of “The Countys'” last FTA mailing (using the United States Post Office to russel-up revenue based on unlawful/void/make-it-up-as-you-go claims, is Mail Fraud -but that’s anther story). I went to the bullet-proof glass window in the court file clerk’s area, and over to the “Traffic” window, and asked who the judge was on this alleged FTA? Off went the public employee in different directions, then circled on back to me. She wanted to know who told me to ask who the judge was? “No one.” She shuffled around some more and came back to tell me that there “Wasn’t any judge there.” So i asked who the prosecutor was? “Not there,” was the reply. How about the Court Clerk? “Nope.” “Then how can it be said that i did not appear if no one was there to witness my presence?”

You can’t make this stuff up.

OK, So I’m Not goin to say I told you so, but, I have been posting on social media the dangers and pit falls of the so called catch and release system. I’m a professional bail bondsman, and if I ran my business like the county, well lets say I would be out of business real fast. Lets assume that the county sent not just one sheriff to go look for these guys but 2. Lets say they spent a total of 20 hrs each to be on the conservative side, I dont know how much a sheriff makes, but lets say $20 an hour. so we have a total of 400 times 2 or $800. then how much did the court spend getting ready to bring these guys to court$$$$$ who knows. Its your money they are wasting. Now, we give the county free space on this site and also on the other site. I know from experience its not all that cheap. This so call Pre-Trial program is going to bankrupt not only Humboldt County, but every county in the state. I dont care if you are on the left or right, but my common sense says this has to stop. I’ve been fighting SB10 now for the past 2 years. If the governor or whoever succeeds Brown signs SB 10 into law I promise you that things everywhere in the Golden State will tarnish and crime will get much worse,

Seeing’s how the people are poise to elect the old mayor of San Francisco as mayor of California, I can only surmise that the condition of the state is going to worsen all around. Soon everywhere you go the light posts will be falling over because they are tarnished by urine, you will have to walk around the piles of human feces in the street and even the mayor will be witnessing junkie shooting up, oh wait that’s already happening in San Francisco. Please people of California, do not allow your partisan politics to completely Cloud your judgement. And don’t elect a mayor that helped ruined a beautiful city to run our state!

Shinn pipped up right as I got out of the car (about 20 minutes ago), saw him out of the corner of my eye thought it was my neighbor so I said Hi, he said he didn’t mean to scare me but that he was running from someone, went to get my dog; then luckily the police showed up, they were very courteous.

The police said they were who he was running from.

Don’t know if they caught him.

Scary.

M henson,

I have a collection of Dismissed for this very same (FTA) reason. One for their frivolous marihunie ORDINANCE, and one for Measure Z, “county-wide,” million-a-month extortion. Do you think i knowingly wouldn’t show up for those two cases when i’m the one who filed them?

The latest ‘Dismissed’ one is signed by newbie Kelly Neel, who was given the (flimsy) Oath by Hinrichs just a few months ago. I Disqualified Hinrichs previously in a personal litigation case. From the bench, all she had to say was, “I do not have jurisdiction.” I always have a witness with me.

I’ve received nothing but professional service from the Bail Bonds people. Even telephoned one early, rainy morning before they were open and one of them, a female, came right away and opened the office. She certified my document, printed it, and gave me some extra forms she had for future use, and i was able to get to “court” on time.

Criminals are entitled to a speedy trial <<singular, not Try-alls of ridiculou$ 'conference management' and 'pre-trial' hooey.

Skitzo systems create skitzo people.

you fail to understand Mike’s 2017 pay as a comparison. his last year of normal pay was about 300K and his pension will be based on it. 2017 was all vacation and sick time he didn’t take over the years.

local,
You could be right. I was going by what transparent California has. For 2016 – a year of normal pay -yes? “Other Pay ” – at $18,000 and “Benefits” at $74,800. I’m thinking vacation and sick time are in there. (Maybe $ from estates of the deceased, idk). Downey retired three months into last year, if i remember correctly, i doubt he denied a paycheck out of the people’s public treasury for those three or so months ‘on the job.’

My more important point -to me- is ,Honsal, being un-elected, is no more a County Sheriff than Federal Reserve is Federal. . . . As anyone can see by his job title of 2017 UNDERSHERIFF. Without a chain-of-command, how legal, or lawful, are Billy’s commands to his Deputies?
