PUBLIC CORRUPTION COVER UP THRU CIVIL LITIGTION ABUSE & MANIPULATION
The most effective "Public Corruption Cover Up Tool" available to public agencies, and their public union members, is the civil litigation system. The public corruption cover up through civil litigation abuse, is at its worst when law enforcement personnel, and their unions interest, are involved in the criminal public corruption.
This reporter, after leaving law enforcement, became a civil litigation investigator, consultant, and expert witness, for more than twenty years, and the civil and criminal legal systems are not what the average citizen thinks they are. The public corruption and it's cover up in San Diego County is a perfect example of how easy it is for law enforcement to obstruct and manipulate the criminal and civil legal systems.
San Diego County, The City Of Oceanside, and The State Of California, have become the "Poster Child" for public corruption, and its cover up, in the new millennium. This is due to the exposure of an extensive system of public union election fraud and vote manipulation, and public corruption conspiracies and obstruction of justice for personal and public union profit and benefits. One of the best ways to cover up the criminal public corruption is through the abuse of tax dollar financed civil litigations. Some individuals within the law enforcement union's can and will be arrested, and prosecuted, unless the criminal conduct of those individuals endangers the larger interest of the unions. These union interest include protection of the elected officials financed, and controlled by the union money. The union organizations will be protected from investigation, and prosecution, to keep their public image clean. A clean public image that is critical for union contract negotiations, and the effective protection, of all associated criminal public corruption.
A JUSTICE SYSTEM FEW AMERICANS REALLY UNDERSTAND
The average american citizens has always been lead to believe that our criminal, and civil legal systems operate on the principal of "JUSTICE". A system where the innocent will be protected, and the guilty will be punished. The facts are, our legal systems have nothing to do with justice. The systems are not about justice, they are about the law, and the law can be easily manipulated by those in authority. The only thing that controls our criminal and civil legal systems, is the "WRITTEN LAW", and the law does not guarantee justice to anyone. It only guarantees that the law will be followed, within the knowledge and power of the judges, attorneys, or law enforcement personnel that administer those laws, and those individuals are not created equal, nor are they all honest.
The so called "Civil and Criminal Justice Systems" in the United States, are systems controlled by money, and the access that money buys. In general, the more money you have, the more "Justice" you can buy. Good attorneys cost a lot more, than bad attorneys. District Attorneys and public agencies, have unlimited public tax dollar finances, which provide unlimited legal resources, for both criminal and civil cases. In the case of District Attorneys, it also provides almost unlimited power, to manipulate and obstruct criminal and civil law, and the lives of the people involved.
This is why a corrupt public agency, or District Attorney's office, like the San Diego District Attorneys office, is so dangerous to the public welfare. It is also how many law enforcement agencies cover up public corruption, by obstructing the filing and investigation of citizen criminal complaints. This is done while knowing about citizens limitations in the civil legal system. Criminal investigations are blocked and citizens are pushed to hire a civil attorney, with the knowledge that very few can afford the cost of civil litigation. The few citizens that can afford to file a civil litigation, will quickly find that public agencies, and their employees, also have extensive protections from civil litigation, built into the legal system. These public entity civil litigation immunities were originally intended to protect the public agency for the financial benefit of the citizens. However, as time passed the public entities found the immunities could be used to protect tax dollar resources for the use of the public unions. Public agencies and DA's are well aware of these financial and legal advantages when they push citizens to drop criminal complaints, go away, and hire an attorney. It is also why "Civil Litigation", is one of the most effective public corruption cover up tools available to public agencies.
Public Agency finances, tax dollars, are not viewed as belonging to the citizens. They are viewed as public agency money, primarily to support the pay and benefits of public employees, and secondary, the work they perform. Any money damages lost as a result of civil litigation through public agency negligence, or criminal corruption, is money that is no longer available for future union contract negotiations, and union pay and benefits. Public agencies operate on the basis of maximizing tax revenue for agency use, even when those operations cause financial damages, to the citizens they are suppose to protect and serve.
Example: The City Of Laguna Beach has a large number of know and suspected ancient landslide hazards to existing homes. Many city and state properties, and the activities on those properties, adversely impacts the stability of many of the ancient landslides causing damage to local homes. The city avoids all geologic investigations, or providing data on the geologic hazards to potential home buyers because the information would reduce property values, and the associated tax revenues that flow to the city treasury. All citizen complaints of damage are ignored, unless a civil litigation is filed. Then public agencies use tax dollars, their legal immunities, and an unfair civil litigation system to financial bankrupt the complaining citizen.
THE TRUTH ABOUT CIVIL LITIGATIONS
Less than ten percent (10%) of american citizens can afford the high cost of a major civil litigation against a public agency, without quickly going bankrupt. The public agencies, and their attorneys, are well aware of these financial limitations on citizens, and they go out of their way to take advantage of the citizen, in both criminal and civil prosecutions. This is especially true when law enforcement public corruption protection is involved. When law enforcement blocks criminal complaints and investigations of law enforcement, ninety percent of the cover up is complete, and all of the criminal exposure is gone. The civil litigation system is totally about compromise, the dollar value of damages, a settlement with no admission of wrong doing, and if possible, a secrecy agreement that hides the corruption.
All public agency civil litigation mitigation, and avoidance planning, involves minimizing or suppressing all documentation, that can be used against the public agency, in the event of a civil litigation. This is why most public agencies have adopted the practice of stripping their files of all documentation and complaints, that is not absolutely necessary to basic operations. It is also why law enforcement agencies obstruct criminal complaints and investigations involving public corruption by law enforcement.
CIVIL LITIGATION PUBLIC CORRUPTION PROTECTION
The financial disadvantages to citizens in civil litigation, is why civil litigations are such an effective tool, for public agencies to cover up public corruption. When the exposure of any potential law enforcement public corruption is recognized, it automatically activates the "Blue Wall" of protection. Law enforcement has an over developed sense of mutual protection, for any member of the brotherhood of the badge. A system of mutual protection that has developed over many decades, and in many cases, for good reason. However, the automatic nature of the Blue Wall, makes it very susceptible to abuse, in public corruption cover up.
Law enforcement has the capability, and the incentive, to obstruct the filing and investigation of criminal complaints involving law enforcement public corruption. If the scale of the public corruption is large enough, the automatic protection will cross all law enforcement agency boundaries. When citizens access to criminal complaints, and investigations is shut down, the only legal recourse a citizens has is civil litigation. The law enforcement agencies know, when they shut the door on criminal complaints, ninety percent (90%), or more, of the complaints will disappear, because of the high cost of civil litigation. The small percentage of remaining criminal complaints against the interest of law enforcement, or their unions, will then be litigated in a civil court, with no criminal investigations, and no admissions of wrong doing. All dollar damages will be paid for with tax dollars. The public agency bonuses are many. Corrupt Cops and DA's are protected from financial loses, and responsibility. The settlement agreements generally includes a secrecy clause to bury the criminal public corruption. The public unions are insulated from criminal investigations, and civil damages.
THE SAN DIEGO PUBLIC CORRUPTION CIVIL LITIGTATIONS 2005 to 2012
District Attorney Evidence Fabrication In The Cynthia Sommer Murder Prosecution
In 2005 Cynthia Sommer was arrested, prosecuted, and sent to prison for the poisoning murder of her Marine husband Todd Sommer. In November of 2007 the San Diego courts ordered Cynthia Sommer's release, and a new trial, when an investigation disclosed there was no poison, and all evidence indicated that DA Bonnie Dumanis, lead prosecutor DDA Laura Gunn, and others, had fabricated the poison evidence, and put an innocent woman in prison.
There was no observable evidence of any criminal investigations of DA Dumanis, DDA Gunn, or any other investigators, or prosecutors involved in the false prosecution, and false imprisonment of Cynthia Sommer. One thing that was certain in the DA's office, was the knowledge that a large dollar value civil litigation would be filed in the near future, as that is the only legal recourse left to a citizen in such circumstances.

DA DUMANIS $20 MILLION DOLLAR EVIDENCE TAMPERING CONSPIRACY IN SOMMER MURDER CASE LINKED TO OCEANSIDE POLICE EVIDENCE TAMPERING & ELECTION FRAUD COVER UP
The law enforcement Blue Wall of protection activated, and all calls for criminal investigations of Dumanis, Gunn, and others, were blocked by the San Diego District Attorney's Office, and no other public law enforcement agency was interested in hearing about Sommer's false prosecution and imprisonment.
From late November 2007 to September 2009 the DA's office and their attorneys waged a court motions battle, to avoid clearing Sommer's name, and to stall, or stop the filing of any civil litigation. The motion process, and a series of criminal obstructions by the DA's office during that period, were also intended to stop Sommer's attorneys, from obtaining any additional evidence of other DA and Police evidence tampering or public corruption. Evidence that could be used against DA Dumanis, DDA Gunn, or the DA's Office in the event a civil suit was filed.

OCEANSIDE OFFICER DOMONIQUE / DDA RODRIGUEZ AUDIO TAPE EVIDENCE TAMPERING
All complaints and investigation on the above public corruption were suppressed by the DA's office to manipulate the legal system and protect DA Dumanis and the DA's office from criminal and civil actions.
On September 24, 2009 a $20 Million dollar civil litigation was filed against DA Dumanis, DDA Gunn, the DA's office, and others for the fabrication of evidence and false imprisonment. The filing of the civil lawsuit shifted the DA's corruption cover up legal action from avoidance, to an all out effort to get the lawsuit thrown out base on public agency immunities. When that failed in March of 2010 the DA's office shifted to settlement negotiations. The DA's office has been frantically negotiating with Sommers attorney since March of 2010 trying to find a tax dollar pay off that Sommers Attorneys would accept for a settlement that would seal the public corruption in a civil court.
The same type of legal manipulations and obstruction of justice were on going in the DDA Ernest Marugg conspiracy to obstruct justice during the same time period.

THE OCEANSIDE CHIEF OF POLICE FRANK McCOY CONSPIRACY TO OBSTRUCT JUSTICE
The same civil litigation, criminal corruption cover up tactics, are also underway in the City Of Oceanside and the Oceanside Police Department in the Chief McCoy - Officer Garcia evidence tampering conspiracy to obstruct justice.

OCEANSIDE'S CHIEF DIRTYCOP FRANK McCOY, CONSPIRES WITH SENIOR COPS, TO DESTROY AUDIO TAPE EVIDENCE OF POLICE PUBLIC CORRUPTION, AGAIN !
Officer Garcia was ordered to destroy evidence and suppress a criminal investigation of another police officer. Garcia reported the corruption to his union attorney, and was later terminated on a sexual harassment complaint. Garcia filed a civil law suit for wrongful termination exposing the criminal conspiracy between multiple senior Oceanside Police officers, including Chief McCoy, Capt. Grigsby, Sgt. Norton, and Sgt Larson. All complaints were suppressed by the Oceanside Police and the District Attorneys Office. The civil litigation is underway, and the City of Oceanside, like any public entity caught red handed, is frantically trying to find a tax dollar value that Garcia will accept to shut down the civil litigation and seal the criminal corruption.
Public agencies use civil litigation to cover up criminal corruption involving law enforcement at every change. The criminal avoid prison, their public images, union finances, and political careers are protected, and the damages are paid off using tax dollars, and that is how civil litigation is used to cover up public criminal corruption.
