Kevin Michael Maguire has been arrested before, less than a year and half ago for the same combination of drug charges. I’m sure we have plenty of new bad felons to catch, without having to keep hooking the same ones over and over. Especially since they have already been caught and tagged! This is out of hand!

This has to change soon or we are all going to be caught in a county that we can no longer safely live in. It may already be time to leave. These problems are not being effectively dealt with at all! What do we do next ? The criminals are in charge here in Humboldt from what I’ve seen and had to deal with!

One can only blame the police for allowing marijuana growing to exist.

Who cares if it’s legal?

Just start burning fields, fly in low blasting music, raze their plants, drop their pit bulls on them from helicopters.

It’s only going to get worse.

Marijuana is the less of all those evils! Herion is killing kids that are to dumb to know the dangers. Maybe if every smoked some pot and let go of the other narcotics life would be a little more peaceful.

Law enforcement can only arrest and hold as specified by the law. Prop 47 brought this upon us, so if you voted yes on 47 a couple of years ago, you are to blame (as well as the apologists for the career criminals -“he never had a chance”, “there are no jobs”, and “legalizing marijuana will make crime go away”)

Here’s hoping that Butte County is better than Humboldt at holding onto felons.

It’s consider a none violent crime, he will be out 30-60 days and tax payers will pay for a rehab that most likely will only work temporarily while he is being tested for drugs inside the facility.

No, he won’t be out of jail in 30-60 days,or no court appointed rehabilitation or testing in the facility. You do know that they get charged to be in jail, rt? They pay for their 3 meals a day, medical. What there is of it.

By his picture and his history, I’ll presume he’s innocent. When are they selecting Jurors?

Paradise is getting to be a very popular town for criminal types. Used to be known as the place Radar O’Reilly lived.

Paradise has been a junky “paradise” for a long time, I had family move to Paradise to get out of Chico only to discover that the amount of tweakers was similar to our own here at home….

If he were a woman, he could claim “my body, my choice!”
But, then the king would say “no, no, no, I own all peasants. How dare you tamper with my possession!”
The urban peasants would bow to the King and chant “Feed him to the lions!”
Then they would all go home and write into their journals how wonderful it is to live in such a free kingdom.
The end.

Paradise PD needs to double-check that “eavesdropping” section. The law against using scanners or any other means to listen to the cops in connection with committing a crime is 636.5 PC, http://tinyurl.com/CA-Scanner-Law

Their 632(a) is for different situations entirely, and specifically excludes use of a radio as an element of the offense, http://tinyurl.com/EXCLUDES-radio-eg-scanner
