| Roger Jolley for Mayor | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| CAMPAIGN 2002 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| NEWSLETTER, VOL 1, ISSUE 1 | July, 02 [Inside the Fold] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| The following article explains the misconduct by the incumbent Mayor who engaged with his fellow commissioners, city staffers and chamber leaders to use city authority and the SAPD to deliberately violate Federal law and constitutional guarantees, and conspired to conceal those activities obstructing justice. --RGJ | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| After my unlawful custodial arrest for "playing music for money" in March 1995, a civil, city offense rather than the criminal process the State Attorney employed, I undertook the following mission Audit- Investigate what happened. Stop unlawful acts by city officials in a way that sends a strong message to the community at large that what was happening was wrong. Fix the administrative system that allowed misconduct to occur so it can't happen again, at least without the approval of the electorate. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| We keep electing people who treat us as mere commodities, cheap labor for their business plans and who dream of development, calling it a vision. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| I have remained faithful to my mission all these years, despite impossible odds and support that ranged from little to none. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| I have been arrested one time since then when I was taken in the dead of night with unlawful warrants to terrify my family and those others I seek to protect. My appeal is still in process.THE AUDIT: When I first tested St. George Street as a stage and audience, SAPD regularly responded to complaints from landlords and their tenants for activity they and the officer and the chain of command understood to be legal. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| When on an audit, concealment and secrecy are not a good sign. The city manager and Commission's secret governing cannot be tolerated. Everything I assert to be true is backed by the public record and comes directly from those I accuse of criminal wrong doing. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| The Chamber Pot | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| In a deposition for the Celli case, retired SAPD Chief Bill Robinson spoke of a group of 'downtown business people who kept trying to use the police to get rid of the musicians [and the artists]' and had been using the police for some time. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| When SAPD took enforcement action, it had nothing to do with street performance ordinances, or the direct complaint raised. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| The handling of these transactions protected those complaining about legal activity, and those directing SAPD from discovery. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| A cheater's Racket to obstruct Justice, to conceal the offenses, to use the city authority to punish enemies. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Executive city staffers admitted to thousands of complaints they handled directly with a beat officer without keeping any records whatsoever. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Every illegal police crackdown and ordinance came at the public request of Chamber of Commerce leaders. Every Ordinance ruled unconstitutional on it's face, and as applied was sponsored by the chamber leadership and their professional lobbyist. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| The city never tested its street performer ordinance with citations or arrests. Police intimidation and harassment was safer. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| This was the situation before the Chamber of Commerce's leadership and staff lobbyist got Ordinance 95-12.passed.STOP IT: My work has helped inform the publics involved and we have beaten city hall some 6 out of 7 times. | Suborning the entire criminal Justice system of the State and County the city staff and Commission pursued their vision of social order as administrated by SAPD law enforcement, ruled some 7 times to be unconstitutional for police [mis]conduct on St. George Street. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Performers and artists obtained federal court rulings of full protection to create and sell their works, and were out there 4 out of 7 years. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| The incumbent Mayor knew that police conduct on St. George Street was "not reasonable in 1998 (as it arguably might have been in 1964)" because City Attorney Jim Wilson told him so on the record Nov. 18, 1998 in a "shade" meeting of the City Commission. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Those using the peoples badge in defiance of Federal law constitutional guarantee's and continue their criminal acts this day however. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| I can't stop these unlawful acts from continuing if you keep electing the same people into office with your silent acceptance. Those not voting helped elect these people. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Clearly, the current Mayor and those others attending the meeting knew the city was presenting a legal case to the court based on things they knew to be untrue, based on falsified affidavits submitted by the officers. (Cont. on next page) | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 8000 of our silent majority has the power to out vote the 3 thousand or so voters that has elected a chamber majority onto our city commission for the past 40 years.FIX IT: We keep electing people who believe they can't do the job of Commissioner. For instance, they say, well homelessness is a national problem, and do nothing. Then they allow the city chain of command to use an individual police officer's judgement to handle this complex national problem. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
