OCEANSIDE POLICE PUBLIC CORRUPTION, CONSPIRACY, AND OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE IS ALIVE, WELL, & GROWING - THE OFFICER GARCIA BOMB SHELL !
AUDIO RECORDINGS - POLICE CORRUPTION COVER UP CAUGHT ON TAPE
In November of 2011 the extensive history, and hard evidence, of Oceanside Police and San Diego District Attorney public corruption, and tampering with audio tape evidence, expanded again. The filing of a wrongful termination lawsuit on November 14, 2011 by Oceanside Police Officer Gilbert Garcia provided new crimes, new names of dirty cops, and more evidence on Oceanside Police public corruption. The court records, signed under penalty of perjury, exposed the start of an August 2009 high level police criminal conspiracy to obstruct justice, in the police Sgt. David Larson DUI investigation. The criminal conspirators named by Officer Garcia, included Police Chief Frank McCoy, Capt. Reginald Grigsby, Sgt. Travis Norton, and DOEs 1 thru 20. Which may not be enough DOEs to cover all of the corrupt Oceanside cops as the communications division and other officers knew about the conspiracy, and used their law enforcement positions to cover it up. The conspiracy was to destroy audio tape evidence, and suppress a police investigation to protect police Sgt. David Larson from arrest and prosecution on DUI, giving false information to police officers involved in an investigation, and even littering, which would end the career of police Sgt. Larson.
Court File:
Gilbert Garcia Vs. City Of Oceanside, Chief Frank McCoy, Capt. Reginald Grigsby, and Does 1 thru 20.
The court records disclose that when the identity of a reported drunk driver was confirmed to be an Oceanside Police Sgt. named David Larson, an extensive police criminal conspiracy was hastily set up by the OPD's Senior Police Officers. However, the motives of Chief Frank McCoy, and others to join the conspiracy went far beyond protecting Sgt. Larson. The Larson audio tape evidence tampering conspiracy, just like previous police corruption, was also to protect other ongoing Oceanside Police, District Attorney, and Firefighter criminal operations.

PUBLIC CORRUPTION DOCUMENT LIST
Garcia's Attorney Daniel Gilleon, and Officer Garcia have stated that the audio tape or tapes recorded by Garcia, and ordered destroyed, by Sgt. Norton, Capt. Grigsby, and Chief Frank McCoy, were not destroyed, and will be presented at trial. There is no mention of any tapes recorded by Sgt. Norton. The audio recording of police investigation contacts, and interrogations, is standard police procedures. However, the law states that all such recording are evidence, and they must be booked into evidence with the incident reports. As reported above, the Oceanside Police, San Diego District Attorney's Office and other law enforcement agencies have an extensive track record of illegally destroying, hiding, and manipulating audio tape evidence based on whether or not it supports their arrest, or if it incriminates other law enforcement officers in criminal conduct.

OCEANSIDE POLICE DET. SGT. MATT CHRISTENSON AUDIO RECORDING OF CRIMINAL COMPLAINT NOTIFICATION IN CHIEF McCOY, CAPT. GRIGSBY, SGT. NORTON, SGT LARSON CONSPIRACY TO DESTROY EVIDENCE OF POLICE CORRUPTION AND OBSTRUCT JUSTICE
It is not know if any Sgt. Larson investigation audio tapes, recorded by Sgt. Norton still exist, or if all of the interviews including Larson's were recorded as required by standard police procedures. Statements indicate that there was advanced police planning to avoid recording the contacts with Sgt Larson. It is know that both officers, Garcia and Norton, had audio recording devices that were operational part of the time, or all of the time. The court documents indicated that Sgt. Norton's recorder batteries died half way through the investigations, when Norton requested that Garcia record the Ortiz complaint filing process, but it is also standard practice to carry back up batteries in your police unit. What is know is that an organized, planned, and coordinated police officer criminal conspiracy was set up to destroy evidence, and obstruct justice for personal and financial benefit, and it was not the first time, as GTI reported above.
THE CRIMINAL CONSPIRACY
The court documents state that on August 24, 2009 at approximately 6:45 PM, Officer Garcia was dispatched to the Rancho Del Oro area of Oceanside to handle the report of a reckless DUI driver. A license plate number and description had been provided by the complaining party (CP) Ortiz, to the OPD dispatch. Garcia had proceeded to the area and initiated a search for the vehicle and driver. Garcia was then contacted by dispatch, and given the name and local address of a David Larson, the registered owner of the vehicle. Garcia stated he was not aware at that time, that the registered owner David Larson, was in fact Sgt. Larson of the Oceanside Police Department. While en route to the Larson residence Garcia was contacted by Sgt. Norton and instructed not to go to Larson's residence, but to meet Norton, at a nearby intersection.
Sgt Norton reportedly ask Garcia if he was aware that the registered owner of the vehicle was Oceanside Police Sgt. Larson. Sgt Norton then instructed Garcia to avoid using the police radio for the remainder of the incident, and then made several phone calls to superiors, one of which was reported to be Captain Reginald Grigsby. Sgt. Norton then told Officer Garcia, "when we get to the house, he's not going to be drunk".
The sequence of events and the statements by Sgt. Norton, and others, from this point forward tell this former police officer, and reporter, that a felony criminal conspiracy was well underway before Larson was even contacted. Police dispatch had to be in on the conspiracy as they knew the vehicle was owned by Sgt. Larson, and there was an open call that would eventually have to be closed, and they had communicated the Larson information to Sgt. Norton and others. Police are also well aware that news organizations monitor police radio call for news sources. If you want to keep the news media away from the scene, you avoid using the car radio, and only communicate by cell phone, as instructed by Sgt. Norton. When police Sgt. Norton told patrol Officer Garcia, "when we get to the house, he is not going to be drunk", it was not a hopeful suggestion, it was an order from a superior police officer to a junior patrol officer, and that was felony criminal obstruction of justice.
When Sgt. Norton and Officer Garcia contacted Sgt. Larson at his residence, Larson matched the physical and clothing description, and the vehicle and license plate number provided by CP Ortiz. Sgt. Larson initially lied to Norton and Garcia stating that he had not been driving his car, nor had anyone else been driving his car. Under additional questioning, Larson admitted he lied about driving the vehicle, and changed his story, stating he had actually gone to the In-N-Out Burger. Norton and Garcia then left the residence, and Norton reportedly told Garcia, "it's him and he's hammered". Sgt Norton knew that Larson had lied about driving his vehicle, knew that Larson was drunk, and Sgt Norton walked away without an arrest, or even requiring a field sobriety exam, or a Breathalyzer test, which is standard police procedures. Making false statements to an officer during an investigation is criminal conduct in and of itself.
Norton then made a phone call to an unnamed superior officer, who ordered Norton and Garcia to contact CP Ortiz and obtain a statement. Upon arrival at Ortiz's home, Norton told Garcia to record the interview, as his recorder battery power was dead. It is not know if Norton's recorder battery died before or after the initial Larson interview, as it is still unknown how many tapes from the two officers, survived the orders to destroy the audio tape evidence.
All request for interviews and information from the Oceanside Police Department have been rejected.
OFFICER GARCIA AUDIO RECORDING IN CHIEF McCOY, SGT. NORTON, SGT. LARSON, CAPT. REGINAL GRIGSBY CONSPIRACY TO OBSTRTUCT JUSTICE
The Officer Garcia court document further states:
"Ortiz reported that the driver (Larsen) was flaunting that he was drinking and driving and had a real attitude about it. Ortiz also said it appeared that Larsen was lost since this was a residential street."
"At no time did Ortiz say he did not want to make a complaint nor did he say he wanted to drop the matter."
All of these statements are directly opposite of the OPD and City official statements issued in 2010 as the conspiracy began to unravel. Those official notifications include statements that there was no complaining party, and there was no evidence of DUI, which according to Officer Garcia's 2011 lawsuit, were total fabrications to try and re-seal the conspiracy.
Garcia states, Sgt. Norton then phoned an unnamed superior officer, and told that superior that the driver was Larson. Norton and Garcia were then instructed to investigate the incident as a DUI. Norton and Garcia were ordered to return to the Larson residence and administer a field sobriety test and a Breathalyzer. Tests that should have been done on the first contact with Sgt. Larson. This obstruction by Sgt. Norton would provide valuable time for Larsen to sober up, and hopefully pass any future test.
Norton and Garcia returned to the Larsen residence and confronted Larson with the evidence. Larson again changed his story and admitted that he was the DUI driver, but stated he had only had two beers. When Norton asked Larson to blow a PAS (Breathalyzer), Larsen stated:
"Now, I'm going to blow over".
Norton then stopped the interrogation and the request for a PSA test, and Norton stated:
"OK, Why don't you hang tight here for me OK, while I make a couple of calls."
Norton moved out of ear shot from Garcia, and made several phone calls. When Norton returned he ordered Garcia to return to the car, so Sgt. Norton could have a private conversation with Sgt. Larson. Norton then joined Garcia by the car and asked Garcia if he was still recording the incident. Garcia stated No. Garcia then asked Norton what was going on:
Norton responded that we were "cleared" by the Captain (Grigsby) and the Chief Of Police (McCoy), and that they (Grigsby and McCOY) had made a decision. Norton ordered GARCIA to get rid of the recordings and "if it ever came to an investigation that I'll (Norton) take the hit for it.
Norton wanted to make sure that the audio recording was stopped before he passed on the orders from Capt. Grigsby and Chief Frank McCoy to destroy the evidence audio tapes. Garcia then asked:
if he (Norton) was sure and was told that the Chief had approved this. Norton said"cops don't record cops" and "he (Larsen) saved me when I was a young officer."
Norton instructed Garcia to not write a report, and to clear the call with an "Information Only" sign off. Norton was crossing the T's and dotting the "i" to make sure there was no radio traffic trail of the conspiracy. Norton would write a "confidential Memo", as soon as he determined what it was. It was a report that was intended to never see the light of day.
Garcia states he was very upset by Norton's and the OPD command's instructions. Garcia was already fighting an ongoing sexual harassment claim, and this kind of trouble would only make things worse.
Garcia got smart, and reported the incident to his union representative Martin Morjoabe. Morjoabe instructed Garcia to not destroy his audio tape, and to not go along with the cover up. Marjoabe also recommended that Garcia talk with the union's attorney, which he reportedly did. A short time later Garcia stated he became aware that the OPD command knew he was not going to go along with the cover up. Garcia believes the previously minor sexual harassment claim was then pumped up to justify his termination, which did occur in October 2010.
THE CITY ATTORNEY PUBLIC CORRUPTION COVER UP SYSTEM AT WORK
A Garcia termination for sexual harassment before the evidence tampering conspiracy went public, would provide the city, and the police department, with defense positions, if a civil litigation was filed. Civil litigations are regularly used by public entities as a last resort tactic to minimize and cover up public corruption.
The Garcia termination procedure was handled by the City Attorney's Office by Senior Deputy City Attorney Preziosi, who works under City Attorney John Mullen. Both of these attorneys were fully aware of all of the following Oceanside Police Officer Audio Tape Evidence Tampering cases, and the verified Police and Firefighter Election Fraud Conspiracy.

OCEANSIDE POLICE & FIREFIGHTER ELECTION FRAUD CONSPIRACY
City Attorney Mullen & Deputy Preziosi had personally heard, and received numerous citizen presentations in council meeting, written criminal complaints with public record documentation, and public records request from this reporter regarding the public corruption. Preziosi and Mullen consistently obstructed all investigations of police and firefighter public corruption to protect their city pay and benefits, which is in direct violation of their legal obligations as an officer of the court. City Attorney Mullen even participated in the cover up of a criminal conspiracy between Mayor Wood and Oceanside Police Officers, to assault citizens, and suppress citizen public corruption complaints in city council meetings. Mullen and Preziosi are among the last attorneys, that would be considered impartial or fair, in the Garcia termination hearings. City Attorney Mullen was a witness to the police assaults, and civil rights violations.
