On 06/10/2008 I was convicted of PC 12316 (B)(1)F. Originally the sheriffs came for a stolen plasma cutter which I purchased from a flea market then sold online from my business I have on eBay of general merchandise. During the search they found live ammunition and a box of gun parts. I understand now in calif firearms only need a frame to qualify as firearms. When I went to court we fought this for 2 years. The plasma cutter had been stolen from a college in which had no serial numbers to prove it was theirs nor receipts. The only serial numbers they had was the ones I advertised on the add. They said their plasma cutter was the only one in the world like it. They said they changed this cutter to their specifications internally and that this cutter was worth quite a bit of money. I did research on it it was like any other plasma cutter. Now if i understand right if they modified this machine in even the smallest way that voids any warranty and reduces it market value. Nonetheless to make a long story short I pleaded out on the live ammunition charge.
Fast forward to probation now which is 2010 the first few months the police came and conducted probationary searches which had nothing to do with my probation conviction. These police were always looking for controlled substances. Hence nothing was ever obtained.The police also showed up looking for other people they suspected might be at my dwelling which also turned into a probationary search which was 3 more times.
fast forward to 05/28/2011 The sheriffs take my new car I just purchased and brought home from a tow yard and a truck of mine loaded with garbage that usually sits in my driveway. I have been maintaining my home and property up to standards with the housing association. I have been remodeling the house because it was out dated. In a nutshell I have been doing what is required of me to be a law abiding citizen.
Fast forward to 6/01/2011. The police come again 15 deep ransack my dwelling once again but this time they find controlled substance 1 gram of meth in a females jacket pocket. Also they have myself and some friends handcuffed outside. I nor anyone else was able to see the search going on inside which constituted of 4 sheriffs and the rest of the sheriffs are outside. The sheriffs that came were known as a narcotic task force. I am again stating I am on probation for live ammunition.My probation clause says nothing about drugs. Lets say some felons are trying to work off a case and because of my history of being arrested for in 1999 for drugs one of these felons throws my name is there. What constitutes a felon telling lies give them the right to come search for drugs?. I am just guessing of how this came about. I understand that changing company of the people you keep as company is very important of the community eyes as well. I am just saying I know what is required to be a law abiding citizen.
Now I am arrested for a probation violation. The police tell me I am looking at a year. I am now petrified thinking what am i going to do? I own my house I have house payments I have my online business and I have animals that need my attention and these police want to put me in custody for something I haven't done. Now mind you I haven't had a spot clean history when I was younger but people can change. My past of my younger years make it look like I am guilty. I AM NOT GUILTY.
So to make things even worse I tell the police I will work for them and end up getting out of jail. They tell me I have one week to give them something. I know in my mind I am definitely not going to give them anything. I am using this time to figure out how I am going to beat this violation and stop this harassment. Only problem is I had to sign a contract admitting guilt to this probation if I back out of the deal. This is so important to me to really stop all this unnecessary harassment.
The conclusion of all of this is how can you stop this is the only way I know is have them fingerprint the bag? Or unreasonable capricious probation searches which I hardly stand a chance. I am so frazzled at what to do right now. I want to make a difference in society not only for myself but all the others that get railroaded into a crime they didn't do. I am very avid about putting my life on the line to stop this police conduct but where do I start? How do I get out of this contract with the police I made? What can happen to me?
Where is it that we start being responsible and see the good results of those efforts? Where is it that we end the irresponsibility of the unjust authorities figures that we call our judicial system?
HELP...
thank you...
