Disgraceful conduct from Orange County Sheriffs Department

From the last Board of Supervisors' meeting comes a story about a stalker, a woman, an uncaring LEO, a caring LEO, a CCW permit, and the disrespectful actions of boys masquerading in sheriffs' uniforms.

Excuse the caps and possible errors, it's from the transcript. Emphasis mine.

MY NAME ----- I LIVE IN LA HABRA. MEMBERS OF THE BOARD, SHERIFF HUTCHINS, I SPOKE TO YOU NOVEMBER 18th AND EXPLAINED TO YOU ABOUT MY STALKER, WHY I HAVE A CCW PERMIT, WHY IT IS SO IMPORTANT TO ALLOW PERSONAL PROTECTION AS A GOOD CAUSE. YOU HEARD ME THEN SO I'M NOT GOING TO BE REDUNDANT AND GO THERE AGAIN.

WHILE I MAY NOT BE A PROFESSOR AT CHAPMAN LAW LIKE MR. MINERO OR MR. MICHELLE, WHO YOU HEARD FROM IN NOVEMBER I AM A CHAPMAN LAW GRADUATE AND MEMBER OF BAR. I HAD A NICE SPEECH PREPARED TO ADDRESS FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHTS AND INTIMIDATION. THEN I GOT A PHONE CALL FROM ONE OF THE PEOPLE AT ORDINARY CALIFORNIA CITIZENS CONCERNED WITH SAFETY, TELLING ME THEY HAD GOTTEN THE RESULTS OF A PUBLIC RECORDS ACT REQUEST AND THERE WAS SOMETHING IN THERE THAT I NEEDED TO SEE.

UNFORTUNATELY I CAN'T SAY WHAT I'D PLANNED BECAUSE I ONLY HAVE THREE MINUTES SO I'M GOING TO GIVE COPIES OF MY ORIGINAL DRAFT TO THE CLERK SO YOU CAN READ IT LATER.

WHEN I CHECKED MY E-MAIL AFTER THAT PHONE CALL I FOUND SCANS OF INFORMATION THAT OC AND CCW GAINED THROUGH THEIR PUBLIC RECORDS REQUEST AND TOLD ME WHEN I WAS HERE IN NOVEMBER ADDRESSING YOU EMPLOYEES OF THE SHERIFF WERE DISCUSSING ME, MY GOOD CAUSE AND INFORMATION I GOOD CAUSE AND INFORMATION I HAD GIVEN THEM. I WASN'T ACTUALLY NAMED BUT HOW MANY FEMALE STALKING VICTIMS ADDRESSED YOU THAT DAY? JUST ONE. I HAVE HAD IT WITH THE WAY I HAVE BEEN TREATED BY LAW ENFORCEMENT THROUGHOUT THIS ENTIRE FOUR-YEAR-LONG NIGHTMARE.

FIRST I TOOK MY INFORMATION TO THE POLICE, WHERE DESPITE THREATS SUCH AS, "I DON'T WANT TO HURT ANYONE BUT YOU ARE PUSHING MY BUTTONS. MAYBE I SHOULD COME DOWN TO YOUR APARTMENT AND WAIT." I WAS TOLD COME BACK WHEN HE ACTUALLY TRIES TO HURT YOU. THE OFFICER WAS ANNOYED THAT I MADE HIM TAKE A REPORT AND MADE ME GO INTO EMBARRASSING PERSONAL DETAILS OF MY SITUATION AT THE PUBLIC COUNTER WITH TOTAL STRANGERS STANDING AROUND, LISTENING.

THEN I TOOK MY SITUATION TO THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT, WHICH AT THE TIME WAS HEADED BY JACK ANDERSON, AND APPLIED FOR A CCW PERMIT. FOR THE FIRST TIME I FELT AS THOUGH I WAS TREATED WITH RESPECT. THEY LISTENED, READ THROUGH THE DOCUMENTATION AND GAVE ME MY PERMIT.

WITH THAT THEY GAVE ME MY LIFE BACK. I COULD LEAVE MY HOME AND LIVE MY LIFE WITHOUT BEING HELPLESS, IF HE FOUND ME. AND MOST OF YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THAT MEANS BUT, TO A VICTIM, WHEN SOMEONE REALLY IS OUT TO GET YOU THE ABILITY TO PROTECT YOURSELF IS PRICELESS.

THEN I FIND OUT THAT THE PERSONAL INFORMATION THAT I GAVE THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT WAS USED BY BORED OSCD EMPLOYEES FOR THEIR AMUSEMENT TO ENTERTAIN THEMSELVES WHILE I WAS SPEAKING. SORRY YOU WERE BORED AND HAD TO SIT HERE. BUT IF YOU CAN'T SIT THROUGH A MEETING WHERE PEOPLE ARE TRYING TO BRING LEGITIMATE CONCERNS TO YOUR ATTENTION WITHOUT GOSSIPING AND BEHAVING LIKE CHILDREN THEN YOU SHOULD HAVE BROUGHT GAMEBOYS INSTEAD OF BLACKBERRIES. THANK YOU.

Disgusting.
