Ventura County Sheriff Office

Only downfall right now is that the push notification for NWS send me 6-8 copies for every notice. Fine during the day, not so great at 2:00 am. I turned those notification off since weather app only tells me once

We appreciate you

As a member of the community I hereby demand that you adopt a policy which forces all on duty officers to wear a working body cam at all times they are on shift that must be available to be reviewed by a board of citizens if classified or potentially dangerous material is present in the footage or the community at large when nothing dangerous is included. As a minor I was assaulted physically and insulted verbally on many occasions by multiple officers. Once, during a traffic stop on PCH in Malibu an officer told me just after I told him I was aware of my rights, “We are alone on the side of a road, it’s dark, I have a gun and you don’t!”. On another occasion I was verbally threatened as officers handcuffed my school mates and pulled a gun on my teacher because he was a black man with his hands in his pockets. We were all standing in front of school about to enter and the officers claimed they were investigating auto theft. These are just a few instances in which I’ve seen our officers grossly violate policy and just common ethics and decency. It will never stop until they are properly surveilled. Watching everything they do would protect them as much as us. As a society we are forced to entrust many individuals with great power we know for certain will definitely corrupt some of them. And we also know some of them are criminals who assumed these roles just to abuse power. As a society why do we not utilize the basic tech we can easily and cheaply use to watch everyone we are forced to endow with great power? I contend that it would save society money and reduce harm immensely. Love and peace to all humans on earth. 😘 thanks a ton to all officers who work to protect the community. We are grateful!!!!
