Taking Back the Tarmac--Santa Cruz Reclaims People's Parking Lot #4 Police disrupted and dispersed lawful public assemblies of drummers on December 26th, January 2nd, and January 16th.

They were ably assisted by "Jumbogumbo" Joe Schultz's vegan victuals and renewed community outrage against keystone kop kapers cracking down on an accepted weekly tradition--the Farmer's Market Drum Circle!...

Suggestions for Street Performers Fighting Police Bullying I've found that police have regularly suggested that "I've received a complaint" is justification for demanding a street musician pack it in and move. Not so. The police are relying on your willingness to unquestioningly comply. Consider instead the actual law involved. Often if you reasonably stand your ground with witnesses (an audio recorder is also nice), police back down. It's not without risk, but there are other risks in surrendering your rights silently....

Mayor Coonerty Dismissed Call for Homeless Shelter During LBAM Spraying In spite of a City Council lawsuit, and various public statements, City Council members approached by homeless activists--Mayor Ryan Coonerty and Councilmember Tony Madrigal, have refused to commit themselves to providing emergency shelter for homeless people if and when LBAM spraying resumes.

Parking Lot Panic Law Used to Disperse Drummers On two successive Wednesdays, police have ordered the peaceful drum circle to leave their traditional spot in the public parking lot behind Tacqueria Vallarta and Logos using Mayor Coonerty's Ban on Public Assemblies in parking lots. The new merchant-backed law prohibits lingering in a parking lot or garage unless you have a vehicle there (and then only for fifteen minutes). It removed ten blocks of public space from public use....

The Perils of Filing an Appeal The following story, e-mailed to me by a friend, is a well-written, encouraging, and illuminating tale of the troubles you may face filing a appeal. It describes the combination of ignorance, pigheadedness, arrogance, and obstruction that can and do happen. These kind of hostile roadblocks are raised even in relatively simple matters where the law is on your side--perhaps particularly where the law is on your side. At this time, the author prefers to remain anonymous....

SCPD Covering Up False Police Report From Councilmember Mike Rotkin? The following correspondence between me and Trisha Husome, Records Keeper of the Santa Cruz Police Department shows their reluctance to release a public record documenting Councilmember Mike Rotkin's inappropriate call to the SCPD in order to demand my arrest for merely attending a public ACLU meeting with a sign. Could this be to protect the 3-time Mayor? It seems to have that effect....
