"while the vast majority of police, Sheriff, etc. are good honest and moral persons"

I agree, the vast majority are.

However, my recent experience with the GPPD/State Police is shocking to say the least. I am not at liberty to discuss the details at this point due to pending court dates/trials but I am at the point where I am going to contact the media. I am shocked at not only the GPPD but also the DA as well. The recent actions of the GPPD and the DA make me feel delighted to live out of state.

I am so glad that I found this blog, it validates what was obvious. I promise to return and share my story when I am able to.

This corruption goes a lot deeper. A man is killed in jail. Why? Know one knows. He wasn't suppose to be in jail. He was in the hospital, 2 officers come in and haul him off to the hole in G.P. There was no warrant for his arrest either. But a couple days later, they said he hung himself. But autopsy showed he had bruised, broken collar bone and the fact that he was taller than the vent they said he hung himself on, makes the police findings a lie.
Don't on counting on a not guilty in a trial in G.P. either. A private investigator sitting in on a trail says after all evidence presented said the D.A. should have never taken it to trial because they had not one bit of evidence against this man that proved he did it. But the jury came back guilty. Jurys in G.P. are usually pro government and will say that if charged have to be guilty. Also the detective lied in his testimony.
Another case. A woman minding her own business during a meeting at Ann Baskers, had another woman come to the back of the room, push this womans child to the floor and pulled the womans fingers from a sign she was holding. This woman tried to file charges against this woman. The police wouldn't take a report. Why? Because the sign was against new taxes for the police dept. Three videos of the meeting clearly showed the abuse by the woman from the front of the meeting. She was part of the government in Josephine County. This case did go to trial. The assaulted womand had to go to Coos County to file and the D.A. from Coos came over for the trial. The sheriff testified and said he didn't see anything but video proved he did. The woman accused even admitted she assaulted this woman but the jury came back not guilty.
Case after case of children taken from good parents and the parents are never charged for anything but their cases end up with the child being put up for adoption. Why? Because there's a loophole in the legislation of no child left behind. It gave an incentive to children services that for every child put up for adoption, the Federal Government would give them a bonus. I heard it was around $1500 each.
Was talking to another man one day. He was picked up by the police during a hot summer day and placed in the back of a police car. They wanted this man to tell them where some drugs were. The man told him he didn't know but they insisted by closing all the windows and turning on the heater full blast. The guy gave them an address but the police even got angrier because there was nothing there like the guy tried to tell them.
The police, attorneys and courts will do anything and everything to get a person to take a plea or even go trial because they know they can manipulate the system.
The people keep voting in more time for crimes but what they have done is given G.P. and the state of Oregon an incentive to do everything it takes to get a conviction. Whether you're guilty or not.
There is no such thing as justice only corruption rules in G.P.

Samantha; Good luck in court, I witnessed Officer Jamie Joswick lie in court (this includes my sitting in viewing other cases) in a few cases the defendant was clearly not guilty of a traffic violation, yet the officer clearly lied.
As well one Judge I sat in on clearly had no interest in the truth and found everyone guilty of the traffic violations in question. I will also note that in a couple of cases (after speaking to an attorney friend of mine) the charges were clearly made up and the officer & court were allowing the use of traffic statues that had no bearing on the made up violations. Sadly at least one of the Judges in Josephine County back this corruption (not all though, so I hope you get one of the honest judges)

For impartiality rule and compass point north
A system of imbalance where accountability fails
Be upon thee served whom power prevails

I completely agree with this city's "authority" issues as far as police go. My sister, 17, just got pulled over for "speeding". What officer Mike Schmidt wrote down was 34 in a 20(school zone) when she was actually going 34 in a 40, way past where the school zone ends next to Allen Dale Elementary. On top of that, Schmidt didn't even pull her over til she was way past the school zone so even if she had been speeding, there was no way of him knowing unless she was very obviously going like 50. AND he started with the usual sarcastic question: Do you know how fast you were going? Hello! he's the one with the radar, he should know. And just bombarded her with questions like where was she going, etc. which is none of his business! And lastly he told her, "the good news is, i didn't charge you double for speeding in a school zone" ...instead he was kind enough to only charge her the base amount of $190...no biggie right! We are definitely taking this one to court!

2010-09-12T02:33:59.506-07:00

I live in grants pass and almost to years ago my wife left me. we both smoked marijuana for the six years we were togeather. When she left she took what she wanted and had police walk through to make sure i was not home i later get arrested just me for the marijuana in OUR house i only get charged not my wife. Then my court appointed attorney pushed and push the states plea bargan never Realy looking over my case, he was so horrible that i got a new one granted he was a good lawer but i can tell he realy didnt care. So a year and a half later the state brings back the same plea bargain they know i have a huge case so my new lawyer starts pushing the plea i say he'll no.

Why?

Because i found so many things wrong and untrue in the police reports and testimony ,and also changing stories by the officers.

false statements

false police reports

Purgury(officers)

Miranda rights violation

Tampered evidence

Chain of evidance procedures not applied

Damaged evidance

Missing evidance

Missing audio

And illegal search and seizure

All in all this is what i have solely produced as evidence my lawyers never found and never even really looked. I know i messed up we all do and i accept that. But why should i go and and lay down not kicking. Yes i broke a law one marijuana law. And it pisses me off that these officers can and will do what they want so it seams and go ahead and break more laws than i did and try to lie and comit purgury and get away with it on the stand. And automatically know they can do this because if you don't have a lot if money for a good attorney that you will be stuck with the court appointed attorney witch seams like they really work with and for the D.A. because......

I did go to trial with my second lawer he's good but he held back so so much and even at that i would have been acquited BUT he conveniently for got to file a unanimous joury decision document making it a 12 person verdict to convict. He files it while we are in trial during trial, it needed to be filed only one hour before trial what an a** ****. Jury comes in at 10-2 i would have won. And the modification came in at 8-4 the jurors new that what the officers say i had was not all there.

This case should have never even went to trial but my lawyers have done as little as possible. So i am going to file new trial in sept. I need all the help i can get if you can point me in the direction of anyone who has the means to help or talk to i have. Also been harrased and pulled over 6 times by officers in less than a years span. I need help bad and am tired of being bullied around.
