Opinion: Riverside Sheriff Bianco should be probed over unlawful ballot seizure (opens the original)
Read excerpt
For 35 years, I carried a badge in San Diego County. I learned that the most powerful thing a peace officer does is sign a sworn statement and ask a judge to trust it. The judge cannot check every fact, so the system only works when officers tell the whole truth, including the parts that weaken their case. That is why the California Supreme Court’s decision on Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco cannot be the end of this story. Reasonable suspicion now exists to open a criminal investigation in
Opinion: Close the legal loophole that lets local police moonlight for ICE (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Boosted by a $240 billion budget, Immigration and Customs Enforcement has spent millions on local advertising campaigns, including in California cities, to recruit local police.

Today the San Diego County Board of Supervisors votes on whether to end three agreements letting ICE and CBP train at county-owned gun ranges. It is a simple question with an obvious answer: county property should not equip the agents carrying out mass raids in our neighborhoods. And yet the loudest voices in this fight have gone quiet exactly when it counts. CBP Commissioner Rodney Scott calls the proposed termination “reckless, irresponsible, and ignorant.” He claims Otay Mesa is the only faci
Opinion: Why do machines answer when you call police for help in East County? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Three local police agencies are routing residents' non-emergency calls to an AI agent. It is a public-safety failure in the making.
