Welcome - we're snitching about the District at Tustin Legacy Shopping Mall a place where the Security Company operates like an organized crime family - the Management is phoning it in – delivery trucks and armored cars park and stop wherever they please - nevermind the law - pedestrians or baby strollers - several businesses have already failed and it's likely that others will fail and soon - as one person said – it's kind of like a pyramid scheme – where everybody but the store owner gets a paycheck!

According to the criminal complaint, employees at several stores in Rosedale were reporting thefts and break-ins that were occurring after mall hours. The complaint said a "concerned citizen" contacted IPC International, the company that provides mall security at Rosedale. The "concerned citizen" said numerous security guards were involved in burglaries and thefts in the mall, and named Fransen and Woodhams.

Sir it's customer appreciation day at Chevron today and everybody gets their windshield washed for free.

, ,

Just a note to let you know about one of the latest scams occurring at your local Chevron Dealer or even at other Gas stations.

Today I pulled into the Chevron station at North Harbor Blvd. and Berkeley streets in Fullerton California - around 12:30 Pm or so.

Keep in mind that on three other occasions I had had to summon the Fullerton Police regarding pan handlers "approaching" me and other patrons including women who were alone at this same Chevron Station - and asking for money at the Gas pumps - while folks have their wallet out and credit cards in plain sight - making essentially a financial transaction - just as if they were at an ATM only buying Gas instead.

So this guy today - I'll have to admit - didn't know he was about to try and scam the "Snitch" - not a very smart move!

So after I said gee thanks so much for the free windshield wash and ignored him while I pumped my gas - he came-up and said hey - did you know that your windshield has a chip in it.

Well as you can imagine I quickly ascertained that this was no more than a "scam" - this free windshield wash at Chevron - and he was about to pitch me about getting my windshield fixed or repaired.

I said buddy - just let me stop you right there - "do you work for Chevron" - he said yes of course - I said then "if I walk over to the manager's office he'll verify that" - absolutely he replied - so I walked into the manager's office and the manager said yes they have permission to be here.

Then I said well buddy - I don't appreciate being hustled while I have my wallet out and am making a private financial transaction at your Gas station - hang around for awhile because the Fullerton Police will be here shortly - and we'll make this party bigger.

He apparently telephoned his boss and asked if I would like to speak to him - I said no that won't be necessary - but he might want to head on over here and talk to the nice Police officer who's on his way.

When officer Lira #1113 of the Fullerton PD arrived I greeted him and began to relate the story from previous days at this same Chevron station and all about the scam of the day - today.

Officer Lira and I chatted for quite some time and he couldn't be sure whether or not this was something that he could act upon right now - he agreed it was indeed very sleazy - and there was no sign informing Chevron customers about any free windshield wash or any "windshield inspection program" - and he agreed that someone with their wallet out and making a financial transaction does have a certain expectation of both "privacy and security".

He told me pan handlers demonstrating this behavior would get a free ride to jail.

He said that he would speak to the Chevron Station owner about it - and I let him know that I would be making this information available to some other Authorities - and Chevron - who I'm pretty sure won't be to pleased about having strangers approaching folks at the Gas pumps with some kind-of phony financial scam - one not bargained for by unsuspecting motorists pulling-in to Gas their vehicles.

So as you can see below - I'm copying this to some Law Enforcement Agencies the Media and of course Chevron Corporate - and let's just see what develops.

In the meantime - beware of Chevron stations where strangers approach you and your vehicle - in an inappropriate manor - no one should be approaching you at all - period.

It's sleazy and just might be "patently illegal" - and in violation of any licensing agreement with the Chevron Corporation.

They don't call me the Snitch for nothin'!

Clifford Polston, former head of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Tustin, was sentenced today to probation and community service.

, , ,

Catagory: Sweet Deals!

TUSTIN For years, Clifford Polston used the Boys & Girls Clubs of Tustin as his personal piggy bank.

He would charge the club he ran for 30 years for trips to Vegas and to Pechanga Casino, high-speed Internet at his home, countless meals, and gasoline as well as toll-road fees.

Clifford Polston, former head of the Boys and Girls Clubs of Tustin, was sentenced to 3 years of probation in Orange County Superior Court.

SAM GANGWER, THE ORANGE COUNTY REGISTER

One time, while Polston was vacationing in Tahiti, he had the club pick up his airport parking tab.

As its longtime chief professional officer, Polston was trusted implicitly by the board.

"Mr. Polston literally had the keys to the candy store," a Tustin Police Department report says.

Once considered a pillar of the community, Polston, 60, admitted to fleecing the Boys and Girls Clubs of Tustin of $114,354 between July 2001 and June 2007.

More than $75,000 of the money went toward a phantom salary for his wife, Elsie, a teacher at Pioneer Middle School. Polston would endorse and cash her paychecks.

His sentencing Monday, to three years of formal probation, 200 hours of community service, and $260 in fees, has some former colleagues feeling he got off lightly.

"I, like others, think he should have gotten some jail time," said Bill Kliss, a board member of the Boys & Girls Clubs. "I thought for what he did, he deserved it. When you think of what he was doing, he was taking advantage of disadvantaged children, and that's terrible."

Kliss believes a year behind bars was called for, as does Gary Green, chief volunteer officer the Boys & Girls Clubs.

"He would have gotten the message," Green said.

Even Judge Erick L. Larsh, who handed down the sentence, said he believed the crime called for prison time. But Larsh still signed off on the plea agreement.

Polston could not be reached for comment.

POLSTON'S HAPPY

His attorney, Gregory Bartone, said Polston's previously clean record and years of community involvement were factors.

"From a defense perspective, this was a great outcome," Bartone said. "He's very happy he's not going to prison. He thinks it's a fair resolution."

Bartone said Polston is paying greatly for his crime.

"He has three years of probation," Bartone noted. "If he makes one slip-up, he's toast."

"He's also kind of a social pariah now."

Recent cases involving embezzlement show a range of penalties.

A former financial officer at the Orangewood Children's Foundation recently pleaded guilty to stealing $780,000 from the group and was sentenced to 12 years in prison and more than $1,150,000 in restitution.

A former PTA treasurer in Placentia was sentenced in August to 3 years of probation, 60 days in jail, and paying restitution for stealing $11,424 from the Melrose Elementary School PTA.

CHANGED PLEA

Polston originally pleaded not guilty, in July, to 27 counts of forgery, three counts of grand theft and one count of false entries in records or returns.

In November, in a plea agreement worked out with the District Attorney's office, Polston pleaded guilty to a single count of grand theft, along with a sentencing enhancement for taking funds exceeding $50,000.

Polston's guilty plea could have resulted in a maximum of four years in prison.

It is rare for judges to reject plea agreements. One recent notable exception involved the federal case against Broadcom co-founder Henry Samueli for his role in an alleged stock-option scam.

Susan Schroeder, a spokeswoman for the Orange County District Attorney's office, said one of the considerations was making sure that the Boys & Girls Clubs got its money back as soon as possible.

Factoring in interest, Polston owed the Boys & Girls Clubs about $140,000 – almost the same amount that had accumulated in a life insurance fund the club purchased for him years ago.

Polston agreed to sign over those funds to the club.

"We really respect the wishes of the victims," Schroeder said. "And in this case, the victim's primary goal was to make sure the money went back to help the children as soon as possible."

"We wanted some money to come out of his pocket, and that didn't happen," Kliss said. "But we're happy with what we've got."

CLUB STILL OUT $60,000

The Boys & Girls Clubs, however, still is out about $60,000, according to Green.

About $50,000 went to attorney's fees to defend a civil lawsuit filed by Polston after he abruptly resigned as chief professional officer in 2007, after the board confronted him about suspicious financial transactions.

Polston sued the club to receive the life insurance funds, as well as for alleged unreimbursed sick time. The board countersued. The civil actions died when Polston agree to plead guilty.

The added $10,000 was for a forensic accountant who unearthed the embezzlement scheme. The probe only went back to 2001, because the club did not have the funds to dig further, Green said.

According to the Tustin police report, "The amount could be substantially more if one were to go back further in time."

Green said the theft hurt the club's reputation and finances, but that the club, whose annual budget is just over $1 million, is doing well. He and other board directors have reached out to donors to assure them their money is going where it should.

"This club is now buttoned-up tight," Kliss said of new financial controls.

Added Kliss: "I thought the DA did a good job – I just wish the penalty had been a bit stronger.

"I think the message to other (charitable) organizations should be, 'Hey, you're going to have to pay for this crime.'"

Some Legacy! Given the current state of the local economy, it could take at least three or four years.

November, 2009

Legacy Park Developer Pushes To Rework Agreement with Tustin.

The developer of Tustin's Legacy Park project hopes to rework terms with city officials anxious to see construction resume at the massive project.

For now, Aliso Viejo-based Shea Properties has entered into a pact with the city to head off a foreclosure threat by Tustin - a tactical move designed to spur a resumption of development at the project.

Executives from Shea Properties say they remain committed to finishing the 820-acre redevelopment at the city's former Marine base with homes, shops, offices and hotels.

But they say they need more time amid the worst real estate downturn in the county since the early 1990s.

"We are heavily invested in the project, (but) the facts are that the pace of development at Tustin will have to follow the pace of growth of Orange County's economy," said CoIm Macken, chief executive for Shea Properties.

Shea Properties and Shea Homes, both part of Walnut's J.F. Shea Co., are handling development of Legacy Park with the city of Tustin.

A lack of work on the former base amid the real estate downturn has prompted speculation in recent weeks that the entire project could be in trouble.

Dallas-based homebuilder Centex Corp., An original partner in the Legacy Park project pulled out in 2007.

Officials from the city and Shea Properties dismissed talk that Shea plans to walk away from the megaproject. They said talks are under way about a possible reworking of a development agreement for the project.

More Time Sought

Changes to the original plan are needed to reflect the reality of the current market, Macken said.

Given the current state of the local economy, it could take at least three or four years before the commercial real estate market here turns around, he said.

The company said it is in talks with Tustin over the structure of its development agreement for Legacy Park, first signed in 2006. Macken declined to specify what changes could be sought.

Industry sources expect Shea to seek a new plan similar to what neighboring Irvine approved as an amended development and implementation plan for the former El Toro Marine base, which gave the developer there a little breathing room.

Miami-based Heritage Fields El Toro LLC committed to a plan that will give the city anoth- I er 130 acres of land and ^ will see $100 million I spent at the site of Irvine's Great Park during the next five years, while the developers of the 3,700-acre project wait for signs of a market rebound.

Whether Tustin would be amenable to similar changes remains to be seen.

"The city's position is that this is a (great) asset, and the city doesn't want to see those assets devalued," said Christine Shingleton, Tustin 's assistant city manager.

Legacy Park - part of the 1,580-acre redevelopment of the former Marine helicopter base - calls for 2,105 homes and 6.7 million square feet of commercial space, along with about 170 acres of parks and open space.

In early 2008, it was hoped that some construction could begin this year. But that was before the commercial real estate market went into a freefall. Those plans have been indefinitely delayed.

That lack of activity, particularly for roads and other early work, has caused some concern within the city of Tustin. Officials there made moves this summer to try to force Shea Properties to move ahead on the development.

Notices of default items were filed against the partnership overseeing Legacy Park, according to city officials.

City officials said Tustin recently entered into a forbearance agreement with the Legacy Park partnership, following the notices of default.

A forbearance agreement typically is used by a lender to postpone a foreclosure to give a borrower more time to make up an overdue payment, or, in Shea's case, meet terms under the development agreement.

The forbearance agreement runs through the end of September, city officials said.

Specifics of the agreement weren't disclosed. Most of the issues tied to the default items are performance-related, rather than financial issues, according to Shingleton.

Hotel Plans

The last big news coming from Legacy Park was in early 2008, when development plans were announced for a trio of hotels, totaling 480 rooms.

Irvine-based R. D. Olson Development signed on to build and own the three hotels, which included plans for OC 's first Kimpton boutique hotel, as well as a Hilton Garden Inn and a Home wood Suites by Hilton Hospitality Inc.

Robert Olson, chief executive of the hotel developer, said last week that he expects the project to move ahead.

"I still like the market, and I still like Shea's plan," Olson said.

The original plan for the hotels was for construction to break ground this year. The project was set to be completed by the end of 2010.

Now Olson said he hopes the project could be done by 2012.

"It's going to be delayed. The question is what shape and form (the development) will be" when the market returns, Olson said.

As of mid-2008, Shea had spent about $60 million on Legacy Park. Officials at the time said that about $800 million worth of road and sewer work eventually would be done at Legacy Park.

When completed, Legacy Park should have an assessed value of nearly $3.5 billion, officials said at the time.

Brokers looking to find tenants for planned commercial space at Legacy Park said last week that it's still business as usual.

"We're still marketing," said Eric Hinkelman, senior managing director for Cushman & Wakefield Inc.'s OC office.

Cushman was tapped by Shea about two years ago to handle office leasing for Legacy Park. Some 6 million square feet of office space is planned at Legacy Park.

The first offices set to be built there are at the Shea Technology Campus, where about 340,000 square feet of two- and three-story buildings are planned near Warner and Red hill avenues.

To date, no leases have been signed for the project - not surprising considering the slow state of leasing for existing offices in the past few years, let alone proposed developments.

There's been no indication from Shea that any development plans have been scrapped, according to Hinkelman.

District at Tustin Legacy

History

The last loan, from the retail sector, is a transitional story. The $206mn District at Tustin Legacy loan is backed by a newly constructed 985k shopping center in Tustin, California. The project was part of the redevelopment of the 1,600 acre former Tustin Marine Corps base.

The center is anchored by Costco and Lowe’s, which are independently owned and not part of the collateral, along with Target, which is on a ground lease, and Whole Foods, which is part of the collateral. The collateral consists of 522k sf, resulting in a loan balance psf of $395. The property is owned by Vestar and Kimco, a major shopping mall REIT. The 6.9%, 10y interest-only loan was originated in November 2007 and securitized in LBUBS 07-C7. We view this loan as transitional. At securitization, construction at the property had not yet been completed. As of November 2007, only 82% of the space was occupied, despite leases signed for 99% of space. An upfront reserve was established with a balance of $540k.

The transitional nature of the property was likely a factor in the higher loan coupon; we estimate that the relative loan SATO was +55bp. (Loan SATO stands for spread at origination, and is adjusted for comparably issued loans made at the same time. A number > zero suggests a higher-than-average loan spread and higher perceived risk from the issuer standpoint.) The borrower stated that the property would stabilize in 1H08.

Also, the loan terms are unique in that they suggest a partnership with the City of Tustin. The city must approve any lease of space over 20K sf and receives 25% of all percentage rents payable to the borrower. The sponsors invested a significant amount in infrastructure improvement in the area around the site.

Current snapshot

The property has yet to stabilize, due to delayed store openings and lower-than-expected rents. The completion of the project coincided with a severe housing bust in the region. MSA level unemployment touched 11.9% in September, well above the national average, as a large portion of employment was tied to housing. High unemployment and falling property values have contributed to weak retail spending and net absorption in Orange County (Figure 8).

The 2008 NOI for District at Tustin Legacy came in at $13.1mn, versus a budgeted amount of $16.8mn. This was due to a decline in average rent to $20.7 psf, versus $26.2 psf at underwriting. Mid-year financials suggest a similar result for 2009, and the most recent DSCR was 0.86x. The loan has been on the servicer watch list since November 2008, and the upfront reserve has been depleted. On the positive side, occupancy has rebounded to 99% as of June 2009, but we suspect that rent concessions have risen as well.

MTA security guards accused of roughing up commuters!

MTA security guards accused of roughing up commuters!


A still shot taken from a closed-circuit camera video shows security officer Miguel De La Cruz using a choke hold on Carl Gutierrez in a subway station in Los Angeles. The video was shown to at his trial and he was convicted.

Sheriff's Department investigates 11 cases of abuse in two years. The guards are not authorized to act as law enforcement officers.

By Richard Winton
May 18, 2009

Los Angeles commuters have been improperly detained, pushed, choked and struck by Metropolitan Transportation Authority security guards, according to interviews and internal law enforcement memos obtained by The Times.

Alleged assaults over the last two years have prompted at least 11 investigations by the L.A. County Sheriff's Department, which has repeatedly complained to MTA officials about abusive security officers, as the guards are called within the MTA.

Three incidents were captured on surveillance cameras at subway and light-rail stations.

Although the 97 MTA security guards carry guns, batons and pepper spray, they are not legally authorized to act as law enforcement officers. Their main responsibilities are protecting MTA property, guarding revenues and closing subway stations when daily service ends.

"They are not meant to be acting as police officers," said Sheriff's Cmdr. Dan Finkelstein, who oversees the department's transit bureau, which has a contract with the MTA to police local rails and buses. " 'Observe and report' here has become 'observe and take action.' "

MTA security officers operate separately from the Sheriff's Department. The security officers used to report to a Sheriff's Department supervisor, but that was changed two years ago and guards now report directly to the MTA.

An MTA consultant, retired Sheriff's Department commander Charles "Sid" Heal, recently found that the relationship between sheriff's deputies and security officers was strained, in part because their roles were not clearly delineated.

In a report to the MTA board, the consultant said security officers sometimes engaged in police activities even though they lack the legal authority and liability protections that sworn law enforcement officers have.

A new contract between MTA and the Sheriff's Department is under negotiation, and it is expected to return security officers to Sheriff's Department supervision, said MTA spokesman Marc Littman.

"That should provide better communications, integration and oversight," Littman said in an e-mail to The Times.

Sheriff's officials have written letters to MTA officials over the last year alerting them to improper conduct by their security officers.

In one such letter, a Sheriff's Department captain complained that MTA Officer Miguel De La Cruz had attacked a "near comatose and intoxicated" man without provocation at a downtown subway station. The Sheriff's Department sent its findings to prosecutors, who filed criminal charges against De La Cruz. Last month, a jury convicted him of battery, false imprisonment and filing a false report. He was sentenced to 90 days in jail and was fired by the MTA.

Art Leahy, newly appointed chief executive of the MTA, said in an interview with The Times that he only recently learned of allegations of misconduct by security officers and that he is adopting a zero tolerance approach to verbal or physical abuse.

"We are not going to tolerate any employee abusing a passenger or a member of the public," Leahy said.

Leahy said he is asking Mike Gennaco, head of the Office of Independent Review, the county's civilian watchdog of the Sheriff's Department, to immediately advise him of ways to overhaul policies and procedures.

Under the California Public Records Act, The Times requested copies of letters between the Sheriff's Department and MTA.

The Times also obtained confidential memos on some of the incidents. Among the cases:

* A security officer used his baton on an incoherent man in an elevator who was in diabetic shock. The man suffered two broken fingers and numerous bruises on his arms. The officer said the man grabbed his shirt with both hands, so he struck him once with a baton. A Sheriff's Department investigation found that the injuries were "indicative of being struck several times" and that the officer used "potentially excessive" force, then failed to render medical aid. The officer was the subject of three other excessive force complaints and has recently been removed from field duties to be retrained, an MTA official said.

* A security officer was captured on closed-circuit TV cameras pushing a transient against a ticket vending machine. As a result, the person fell to the ground, cut his head and lost consciousness.

* A security officer said he used pepper spray on a drunk man who was belligerent during a train sweep at Union Station. Footage from a surveillance camera, however, showed the officer pushing the man out of a train onto the platform floor. When the man stood up, the security officer hit him across the chest and legs with a baton and then pepper-sprayed him in the face.

It was a video camera at the Metro's 7th Street Station that convinced a jury that De La Cruz battered Carl Gutierrez and filed a false police report accusing the young man of assaulting him.

On the video, De La Cruz is seen discovering the intoxicated young man sleeping on a bench in a subway station, taking a quick look around and then nudging the 22-year-old to try to wake him. Unable to stir the man, De La Cruz put him in an arm hold and tried to pull him upright off the concrete bench.

When that failed, he kicked the man in the back and then put his hands around his neck, choking him from behind.

When the man tried to remove the officer's clamped hands, De La Cruz slammed him to the ground.

De La Cruz, 55, filed a police report on the Aug. 21 incident, saying the young man had approached him in a threatening manner. He said he acted because the young man tried to bite him.

According to a Sheriff's Department memo, an MTA security manager initially suggested that De La Cruz -- a tactical instructor -- needed additional training, noting that he had been "very aggressive" in several prior incidents.

Leahy said he reviewed the video of the incident and agreed with the jury's verdict.

"When he is tapping on the unconscious person's foot, I don't think that crosses the line. It is when he violates the rules and tries to pull the guy up, he goes too far," Leahy said. "He should have called for backup."

The man who was assaulted by De La Cruz said the guard's conduct was uncalled for.

"Some people shouldn't be hired to do the job they are doing," Gutierrez said, "and that was the case here."

I may have found the ultimate secret weapon against the Armored Car Drivers "The Liability Insurance Underwriter".

, , , ...

I may have found the ultimate secret weapon against the Armored Car Drivers "The Liability Insurance Underwriter for the District at Tustin Legacy (A Vestar Company)"

Sgt. Jeff Blair - Standards and Practices - Tustin California - Police Department


Dear Sgt. Jeff,

This weekend as you can see was business as usual for our Scofflaw Armored Car Diver - Losers.

These photos encompass both Saturday and Sunday.

Saturday was a particularly good day for photos, I'm only including a fraction of them in this email, but you will notice the near misses, "potential vehicle collisions cause by motorists inability to see around the massive illegally parked Armored Cars - motorists were honking at them on Saturday and visibly unnerved by this completely illegal and mitigatable safety hazard.

Also, some folks at Peet's coffee have agreed to take photographs and also report this illegal activity to me - knowing that I will have your Police Department put it in their incident log, Brinks although not shown in the photographs from Sunday also violated our public safety laws - parking right in front of Peet's coffee.

One woman who works at Peet's mentioned to me that - aside from all of the other unnecessary risks to pedestrians and vehicles, there is as I have mentioned in the past - an alarming possibility that in the event of a robbery shootout - Peet's coffee - which is surrounded by all glass windows - would be the most likely place for a stray bullet incursion - into a store full of patrons and employees.

This of course begs the question - when is Peet's Corporate going to get involved by sending some demand letters to the Management at the District at Tustin Legacy and to your Police Department and the City of Tustin as well?

Now for the secret weapon - I am going to make contact with the Liability Insurance Underwriter for the District at Tustin Legacy this week, and arrange for them to view my collection of photographs and documents - and ask the question - are you willing to take-on this unnecessary liability exposure - an exposure which should have been mitigated a year and a half ago - at my beckoning.

As you know Insurance carriers are even more distressed than American Banks are these days, and the shareholders - will ask lots of questions when they are made aware of this very unnecessary risk and financial exposure.

I'm betting that the Insurance Carrier will say - "either the risk is to be mitigated - or the Liability Insurance is cancelled".

Let's find out together.

On both Saturday and Sunday I spoke with Sgt. Quinn on your watch commander's desk, and asked that he log all three incidents by date, time, and Armored Car Carrier.

As you already know - once the Attorneys and Bean Counters get involved - they'll be generous in naming defendants in the Litigation - and I expect your Police Department and the City of Tustin's failure to mitigate this Public Safety hazard will land the City on the defendants list too - and maybe even individuals at the City and your Police Department - who I have spoken to about this problem for the last year and a half - as well.

There will not likely be any excuses - nor will there be any place to hide.

In my estimation it is only a matter of time before someone is seriously injured or even killed - all as a result of people's failure to act - then we can read about it over and over again - and maybe Dateline NBC or someone will pick-up the story - and I can say "I told you so" on camera.


Saturday Feb 07 2009 Image 0020 - Near miss vehicular collision

Saturday Feb 07 2009 Image 0016 - Visibility Impairment from Illegally parked Armored Car - Threatens Pedestrian Safety

Sunday Feb 08 2009 Image 0006

This as always will be posted on my blog by tonight or at least by Monday - then if you like entertainment as I do - watch the Armored Car Drivers log-on to my blog in the comments section - they usually call me a pervert - a child molester - and make numerous death threats - and Gay slurs - I will have to admit though - they are a creative bunch of scumbag losers aren't they.

Best regards,

Dave - "I Snitch"

I spoke with Sgt. Beeler of your Department today - and got some interesting information about the Armored Car Drivers.

, , , ...

Sgt. Jeff Blair - Standards and Practices - Tustin California - Police Department

Dear Sgt. Jeff,

I called the watch commander today to ask him to log yet another complaint against the Armored Car Company "Garda" formerly known as AT Systems.

He indicated that he would log my complaint and also provided some other interesting information.

Sgt. Beeler said that months ago - he had personally worked on this problem and had direct contact with the management for Garda.

Sgt. Beeler mentioned that he had asked the armored car carrier if there was any reason that these guards were parking illegally - and the manager said no - they should be parking legally - and that he would make sure that his employees would comply with our laws - and the principals of good safety and courteous behavior.

Also - Sgt. Beeler and I agreed that - the guards were parking illegally (solely for the purpose of not having to walk as far to complete their business) - and that there was no other reason or safety issue driving this behavior.

As you know, I have been saying this all along - this illegal parking is all about (profits), laziness, and is simply a discourtesy to everyone who is affected by it, and is also very unsafe.

Also, Sgt. Beeler mentioned that the management at The District at Tustin Legacy has had to make repairs to the paving bricks not intended for vehicular traffic - because of this illegal parking of heavy trucks in an area not intended for any vehicular traffic, at all.

So, I suggest that we now pursue property damage charges and restitution to the property owner - along with criminal charges for these drivers who have had ample warning.

This parking is very simply - a (complete disregard for public safety and someone's property) - we should pursue it from every legal avenue available to us.

I have asked for an appointment with the Mayor and the Council - to discuss this - as well as other issues related to your Police department.

Dave - "I Snitch"

Most people who are breaking the Law at the District at Tustin Legacy don't like have their picture taken - especially this guy!

Sgt. Jeff Blair - Standards and Practices - Tustin California - Police Department

Dear Jeff,

I spoke with the watch commander this afternoon, and asked that he log my call and complaint about - "you guessed it" - and this time it's a "mouthy" - smart-ass Armored Car Guard - who wants to sue me - "lions and tigers and bears oh my".

I use the term Guard loosely, because as you already know - I make the claim that most of these guys a helping themselves to the cash - a little bit here and a little bit there - just enough to make it inconvenient to investigate and prosecute.

I'll remind you of the other Guard on my blog who got greedy and took 60 thousand all in the same day - a few weeks back - he got caught.

So - here is my celebrity photo log for this week.


Jan 25th - 2009 - This one doesn't like me very much - he'll probably write-in to my blog with "another death threat" - nice folks aren't they - dude - get a hair stylist!

As you can see the guard today who works for Garda Systems - was a bit perturbed about me taking his photograph - and said he was goanna sue me - well, he doesn't know that I'm getting all of the documentation ready to sue not only him, but the Shopping Center Owner - The City of Tustin - The Tustin Police Department - Garda - Garda's Clients at the District - and one Attorney friend of mine - will even include the Guard's Family and Dog - all at the same time.

Let's see who comes out ahead on that deal.

This off course is not to mention that when a Mother and Baby in a stroller are hit and killed, because of this scofflaw behavior on the part of these criminal Guards, her Attorneys will have a field day - with the same list of defendants - using my photo files going back at least a year and a half.

Let's see who comes out ahead on that deal too!


Jan 25th - 2009

So - as you know - I've been somewhat critical of Scott Jordan - your Police Chief for Tustin, because he Jogs on my time,"Taxpayers Time", instead of doing Police work.

But, I may have found a way for him to Jog on the job, here's how - let's have the Chief strap a radio - camera - and a citation book on his back, then have someone drop him off at the District every day, and have him Jog the perimeter of the shopping mall, conducting parking enforcement, this way I /we might get some of our money's worth out of him, and he might avoid a heart attack related disability - which costs us "Taxpayers" - million of dollars.

I don't see much in the way of Police work being accomplished at the Tustin Police Department anyway - so - this might be an improvement - who knows the Chief might actually catch a car burglar at the same time.

Again - I'll reiterate that I have a call in for the City Attorney the Mayor and the Council to contact me about seeking a Court Injunction against the Armored Car Companies - which would act like a restraining order - and if violated - would allow us to surround the Armored Car with Police Vehicles - tow it away - take the Guards to Jail, and notify the Armored car carrier to send replacements - to finish their route.



Jan 20th - 2009

The other photo is from earlier this week - this is "Pendum Armored Car" - and as you can see - they also think that they are "special" - and that cars and pedestrians can just go around them - all of this - with a state-of-the-art delivery entrance right behind the Target store - which is where they should be stopping.

Then - in the rare event of an actual robbery "one not committed by the Guards themselves" - pedestrians and shoppers won't have to duck and dodge flying bullets - which of course - when the Attorneys get my photo files - will mean that Target "good company as they are" - will also be facing an ugly lawsuit.

Still waiting for that call Mr. City Attorney!

Some Legacy!

Best wishes

Here are today's Celebrity Scofflaw Drivers - and Various Other Thugs - at the District at Tustin Legacy Shopping Mall.

Jan 11, 2009 When someone is hit by a car because the driver couldn't see around the Illegally Parked Armored Car - guess who has a file folder full of photographs and documents ready for the Lawyers?

Sgt. Jeff Blair - Tustin California Police Department - Standards and Practices

Dear Jeff,

Per our telephone conversation today - I am sending and publishing the photo of our Scofflaw Armored Car Driver of the day.

Also, as I mentioned - I have a call in for the City Attorney for Tustin California, and the Mayor and Council.

Here's why - we have provided ample time for the Armored Car companies to comply with our Public Safety Laws - as judged by the Death Threats that I regularly receive about this topic on my blog - they know who I am - and you and I know who they are.

So - I am going to be asking the City Attorney - to get in touch with the District Attorney - and together seek from the Courts an Injunction - (restraining order), just like we do with other Gang members - and lay down the rules.

If you park illegally in our town - we will surround your vehicle with Police Cars, call for a very large tow truck - and let the Armored Car Carrier management know that, two of their personnel have been taken to Jail (arrested) - and that they will need to send a replacement truck and personnel - to finish their business for the day - (parking legally of course).

For those of you reaching for the Kleenex right now over our poor deprived Armored car drivers - you should hold that thought for at least a minute - because it is evident that these thugs and scofflaws are taking some cash out of their ride everyday - maybe a thousand here and thousand there, because Bank of America and the others can't afford to spend 100 thousand dollars - recovering a thousand dollars.

The Armored Car driver featured on my blog with his mug shot got a little greedy - and took 60 thousand dollars - all in the same day - which caught someone's attention - and he be in Jail right now.

The rest of 'em just haven't been caught yet.

The other celebrity driver - was an Asian woman who got a little confused about where the streets are at the District at Tustin Legacy - so - this means we've finally found a use for the other "thugs and scofflaws" - the "essentially worthless" IPC International Security Company - we can use them as human barricades at all of the places where a non-intended motor vehicle incursion into a pedestrian only walkway occurs - or is likely to occur.

Can you say Farmers Market?

http://www.cnn.com/2004/LAW/01/05/farmer.market.crash/index.html

At least we could use them while they're not busy using their master keys to break into mall stores and steal everyone blind - or intimidating law abiding citizen shoppers with their illegal Law Enforcement replica badges - that is.

I'm still working with the "essentially worthless" Sacramento agency known as the "California Bureau of Security and Investigative Services" - I have a standing formal complaint in progress against IPC International Security - with a whole laundry list of legal violations - intimidation - and harassment problems - all occurring at the District at Tustin Legacy - including possessing and displaying illegal Law Enforcement replica badges, and being caught on in-store video tape - stealing things from a tenant's store.

I hear that Todd Spitzer is back at our District Attorney's office - and since District Attorney Tony Rackauckas is a "well known criminal and crook in our community" (most recently mentioned at the criminal trial of our "America's Sheriff" Mike Carona - "it seems that Tony took a little cash on the side" as well, here and there, maybe when the Feds are done with "America's Sheriff" - they can take some direction from me - and roundup the rest of the thugs and losers who represent Law Enforcement in our beloved Orange County.

I'll be directing my formal request on this issue to Mr. Spitzer this time - since he might be the heir apparent to the DA's office in Orange County - next election.

Nice website Tony!

So there is my COP (Citizens on Patrol) tip for the day.

I will actually expect to have a response to this memo from the City Attorney and, whoever wants the embarrassment of representing your "Mickey Mouse Police Department" - I feel sorry for that person.

As always, best wishes to you and yours, and Happy New Year!

Greetings and Happy Holidays - from the Snitch - at the District at Tustin Legacy!

Greetings and Happy Holidays - from the Snitch - at the District at Tustin Legacy

Sgt. Jeff Blair – Standards and Practices – Tustin California Police Department

In re: Invasion of Privacy – Illegal Police Surveillance – Illegal Searches – 4th Amendment Violations by the Tustin Police Department – Security Personnel acting as Agents for the Police - and - how many places have you had sex.

The District at Tustin Legacy – Shopping Mall – Tustin California – my Holiday Roundup!

Dear Jeff,

Per my voicemail here is good news for the people and bad news for the Tustin Police Department, line by line, and point by point.

You will recall a few months back I made note of the fact that your Police Officers have been seen in full uniform “visiting” several restaurants and other establishments at the District at Tustin Legacy Shopping Mall, and you agreed as I recall, with me, that this activity is unacceptable, for lots of reasons.

I further told you and have since spoken to several managers at various establishments, mostly restaurant and bar establishments, and we concluded that, “when we go out to dinner, dancing, cocktails, or in my case, scoping-out on local “Man Booty”, while having cocktails, we do not need, want, nor will we tolerate, the Police or Security - tagging-along with us.

We also agreed that when folks are out and about, dining and drinking – “having the Police arrive in the establishment”, is “intrusive”, “intimidating”, and amounts to a “4th amendment violation” regarding illegal searches, and there are plenty of other “privacy” and “legal issues” involved as well - whether or not the business owner consents to this intrusion – I don’t consent.

So, Saturday night, around 9:30 PM - I was enjoying a couple of tequilas at ”Strike Bowling” in the District at Tustin Legacy, checkin’- out some “Hot Man Booty”, when all of the sudden my view went dark, obscured - by two massive figures, which turned out to be two Tustin Police officers.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tequila

Remember, most outings for drinks and dinner – are the precursor to a private sexual encounter, and as such – there is a further expectation of privacy and freedom from Police or any other intrusions. I don’t need supervision from the Police or Security when I’m getting ready to do some consensual “Man Booty” grabbing - and Gay flirting.

I jumped out of my chair, and approached the officers, introducing myself, out of formality, knowing that few if any City of Tustin Employees don’t know who I am, or wouldn’t recognize me.

I asked, “gentlemen, is there trouble here tonight”, they replied no, “I asked did someone summon you to these premises”, again they replied no, and then I asked, “well then, just what exactly are you doing here”, they replied that they were just “dropping-in to make sure everyone was ok” - well - isn’t that sweet.

I replied, “what you are really doing is intrusive and an invasion of privacy”, and wasting my tax dollars on a goof-off mission as well, no doubt at the expense of a real crime victim, who, while you’re here jerking-off, is being robbed, raped, beaten, swindled, or burglarized; we’ll be taking a peek at your crime calls database when I address the City Council on this issue at a later date, to see who was or has been victimized by a crime while your Police Officers are on a goof-off mission, probably on overtime too - inside of a legal, licensed, lawful business establishment, violating my rights to privacy, and to be constitutionally protected from intrusions by the Police, including illegal surveillance, illegal searches, and nosey Cops and Security Guards.

This also applies to IPC International Security, and any other mall personnel, who if they conduct an illegal surveillance, and then whisper into the ear of the police, “are acting as an agent for Police”, which amounts to a 4th amendment violation, any court will be dutifully obligated to toss any and all charges, never allowing them to be re-filed, at any time.

Also, I recently informed you and the management of the District at Tustin Legacy Shopping Mall, that I have spoken to several managers and patrons at various establishments at the District, and everybody agrees, we do not want, nor will we tolerate IPC International Security or any other Security Operation or even the Police - hanging around even outside of these establishments, glaring at people, who are dining and drinking in legal, licensed, business establishments.

Now, for those who think I’m sticking-up for Drunk Drivers, you should know that I rarely anymore have an alcoholic beverage, have never had a DUI, and as licensed Pilot, I can tell you that the rules for Pilots are very clear, no Pilot may consume any alcoholic beverage prior to operating any aircraft, for a time period which I believe is now either 12 or 24 hours prior to operating any aircraft, depending on your license status with the FAA.

It would be just fine with me - if these same rules applied to operating a motor vehicle.

But, since they don’t, here is what is going to happen when your Police Department and or any security company or personnel, “acting as an agent for the Police” steamrolls over the United States Constitution by bypassing “Probable Cause”, which means “coincidentally” observing erratic driving, and subsequently pulling-someone-over, for a sobriety check.

It does NOT mean - hanging around a bar or restaurant, making note of folks who might be consuming alcoholic beverages, and then sleazing around the parking lot, or just down the street, and subsequently pulling someone over, because they are “likely” to have been consuming alcoholic beverages, (whether or not your Police Department admits to this activity) - this constitutes an illegal search, and bypasses legally required “probable cause”, and there is enough legal and case precedence, so as to require a forklift, to get it into the courtroom, and in front of a Judge.

When the Judge, and the Defense attorney hear from me, by getting a copy of this memo, that people’s rights are being violated by Security Personnel whispering in the ear of a Police Officer, about something they saw, heard, or otherwise were aware of, bypassing “probable cause”, and 4th amendment rules, all of any otherwise legitimate criminal charges, DUI, Drunk in Public, Urinating in Public, and anything else that you can imagine, all of these charges will be promptly dismissed with prejudice, never to be filed again.

In comparison - as one legal professional pointed-out recently in the case of the “privacy charges” filed against Senator Larry Craig - having sex or seeking to have sex in public - in and of itself - is not a crime, and further, there IS an expectation of privacy while in a stall at a public restroom, and whether or not there are two people in the same stall, and what’s going on inside of the stall - is both private, and irrelevant.

http://thelede.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/01/16/in-larry-craigs-corner-the-aclu/?hp

I’m not advocating that folks start having sex in public restrooms, but, in and of itself, it is not illegal, a successful prosecution, would require insufficient privacy measures by the participants, (not seeking the privacy of a stall or other measures) - and would also require someone under oath - to testify that they were offended by two human beings having sex or even seeking to have sex; pretty hard to swear to, except by someone who has never themselves had any sex - I suppose there are a few, but not likely many. People seek to have sex - and have sex on airplanes, trains, automobiles, and almost everywhere, human beings are “Intelligently Designed” for Sex”. In fact – I myself have met some real sweethearts in the Men’s room over the years - subsequently had blazing Gay sex with them - and have remained in contact with some of them even today - “Teddy-Bears” - the kind of guys you would take home to Mom on Christmas day.

When it comes to Gay men – we do have an advantage over the straight guys – because the Men’s room can sometimes be like a Costco – you might get a preview or a free sample before you buy.

If you don’t like people drinking and then driving - change the law.

Then these types of business establishments will have to provide rides to folks who have been drinking - pretty soon - we’ll all be in the habit of having a “designated driver” - one way or another, and the Tustin Police Department and others can be downsized or outsourced.

So - even a Serial Killer is goanna walk, because you, IPC International Security, the property managers, and your Police Department - didn’t play-by-the rules.

I know this because I am going to make sure that the Orange County Bar Association, and similar Trial Lawyer Associations have this memo, and also, the next time I see your personnel, and or Security Personnel, essentially “stalking people”; my trusty Cannon Power Shot Camera is goanna come out of my backpack, and everybody is goanna get an opportunity to say Cheese.

Further, with this memo and information that I am providing to Defense Lawyers, not only are all future Police Stops made by your department, Irvine, The Sheriff’s, and others - going to be subject to scrutiny, all of your Stops going backwards in time, and any and all of your Stops, Arrests, Prosecutions, retroactively, will be called into question, and no doubt many are going to get tossed, because, I’m going to make sure that everyone in Orange County knows of this illegal surveillance activity, 4th amendment violations, and that IPC International Security, acting as an “agent for the Police”, and employed by Vestar Development, are violating folks rights, and everyone involved, the City of Tustin, IPC, and Vestar are going to be subject to - predictably successful lawsuits, no one, will be safe, and or free from liability – from this invasion of privacy.

Make no mistake, I am developing a file on this, and it will be full of photographs and is already full of documentation, and I will beckon folks like the ACLU, who are also getting copied on this memo, to file, and secure a class-action status, for a lawsuit against all of the bad guys, and I will make myself available as the first plaintiff for the class.

Also, I am copying the Top Guns of DUI defense attorneys, in this area, and making them aware, that when there is a Stop or an Arrest in Tustin, Irvine, or in proximity to your Police jurisdiction, and the District Shopping Mall, there is ample evidence and documentation to call any and all of it into question, and to seek a prompt dismissal based on the prior bad behavior of the Tustin Police Department, and any other Police Departments who demonstrate similar bad behavior, and any Developers, Landlords, Property Managers, and or Security Companies.

In summary, consider this to be your last warning about this issue, it would behoove you to pay attention - curtail these activities and this nosey invasion of privacy – keep doing it, and I’ll bring a whopper of a lawsuit against any and all involved, and then I will ask the taxpayers of Tustin and their elected representatives, to outsource Policing in Tustin, to the Orange County Sheriff’s Department, and close the Tustin Police Department once and for all, saving money annually in an amount that I estimate to be in excess of $30-50 Million Dollars, “not a one time savings”, but, “each and every year”.


Very best regards and Happy Holidays,
