Actually, she is applying an excessively strict interpretation of the law. And going to the most strict interpretation.
Agreed - just like they do in LA and SF - that's my point.
Secondly, she has been in breech and engaged in questionable activities. Refusing to relinquish recordings and such. She also engaged in intimidation. When people came to speak out at the council meeting she had a S.W.A.T. team patting people down. Way above and beyond the need.
Also agreed - and many of the council folks that brought her in want her out now, but have to wait for an election because of the way the laws are written...
Frankly, (and I apologize to any law enforcement officers if they find this offensive). But I believe this woman should be thrown in jail. If good citizens did half as much breech of law and ethics, we'd be arrested. The same should stand for our leaders and law enforcement.
Agreed again - we seem to agree a lot on this topic

Lastly, as a father, any !@#$% who has the balls to tell me that a man carrying a deposit bag has more justification than I do carrying my 2 yr old daughter better be willing to accept the consequences. Because if that happened to me, and my wife and daughter were harmed because I was unable to protect them as I had been disarmed by such a sheriff. I'll leave it at that......
Oh, yeah - wife and three daughters here. Actually, the wife would be more dangerous than me if the daughters were harmed...
