Biker Win
Thank You Letter

Dear Mr. Snook,

Hi! I’m Glen Seybold’s Mom and I am writing to thank you and the US~Observer so much for all your help.

This has been a hard almost 2-years for me, worrying about this whole stupid thing.

I know my son and Louie very well, not Stan too much, but I know Glenn is not a person that would ever hurt anyone. He is kind and a loving person. If anything, he goes out of his way to help anyone.

Thanks again for standing up for these three innocent men.

I’m returning to Sacramento soon and hope to subscribe to the Observer as soon as I can.

Yours Truly,

Diane Seybold

Edward Snook’s Note: Thanks much for writing Diane – not many take the time. It was a pleasure to help vindicate your son and he is a fine person. Far better than corrupt District Attorney Stephen Campbell. Campbell and others of his ilk have no idea the damage they create for people when they charge an innocent person with a crime. I am committed to getting rid of this arrogant lawyer as none of us are safe with him in office. Campbell really needs to start experiencing some of the grief that he causes others to go through…

Speeding Toward Injustice

Editor;

Do you, or would you have any way of helping a citizen who is regularly getting traffic tickets? This happens in Sacramento, CA.

This is a particularly strange situation, as the prosecution never proves their case, in fact, I prove they have no case, yet the traffic commissioner or Judge still says "guilty" so they can get $127.00 from me. They say I'm required to pay the fine before I can appeal.

I am accepted on proper grounds for every appeal I file, which means there is enough reason to believe the court made a legal error or procedural error. When I am heard by the appeal court they have said I was "not convincing enough." The trial court verdict is affirmed.

I have gotten tickets where the officer wrote "rider not wearing DOT Approved helmet" as the charge, yet the DOT says there is no such thing as an approved helmet. What a scam. Our law states the rider must wear a helmet. Another law states a helmet that is offered for sale for road use, must be labeled by the manufacturer with a symbol, so the potential buyer knows it is made for road use, not off-road, or racetrack use. The manufacturer labels a helmet so the consumer knows the purpose it was made for, and the police send you to court because they invent new hoops to jump through.

California law requires the officer to write a fix-it ticket for equipment violations. They train officers to ignore that law. If you point that law out to an officer, his Department issues a statement that it is their policy helmet violations are all "Immediate Safety Hazards" and disqualifies you from getting the case dismissed by showing you corrected the "problem," a correction system which is what the legislature intended.

Legislative Intent for that law was to keep the equipment infractions out of court to prevent overloading the court with incredibly minor cases. Wearing a helmet that isn't exactly the style the police officer would wear, is an Immediate Safety Hazard, like a lack of headlights at night, or no brakes at the top of a hill? They gotta be kidding ! Where is the reasoning, authorization or proof for that ! ?

It's a way to get a 127 dollar check instead of following the law, court procedure and court rulings that are supposed to prevent the cops and DA from doing that. The traffic court is complicit in this scam. The DA has changed their statements from case to case, to get the conviction. The court has ignored settled law to get the money.

This isn't right. It's like living in a Dictatorship.

A “Criminal”
Legal System

Hello,

I just completed your story about the DA of Oregon who lost his case against the bikers. Very good work and my hat is off to Edward Snook.

I have untold stories and provable facts from court cases here in Pennsylvania concerning the rampant corruption now in full-steam against our Citizens.

I have had about 9 of my own state court cases, a few magisterial justice cases, and a few federal cases as a non-attorney, including in the appeals courts at all levels, and the corruption is at every level, unfortunately.

I am quite knowledgeable with regard to federal and state income taxes after 35 years of diligent and never-ending study. Should you be interested to hear what you will not see written in books, as to just how the tax system is being foisted upon the unsuspecting American public, please let me know and I will provide my phone number for discussions.

I was offered a spot on a national web cast weekly show and I am accepting to discuss taxation in America. I had a little show in a small town in Pa, but after the first two shows I suppose they did not like the subject matter, corruption in the banking system and the local courts, so needless to say, they never called me back for any more tapings. We must do more to curb these criminals who have taken over our legal systems, and the banks. I for one, will not stop until I drop over. I will make a difference before I pass this life for we are our founders posterity, it is now up to us to keep this experiment alive.

Regards,

Rogue Valley
Humane Society

This animal rescue society is now something that Grants Pass can be proud of. Its past history has given it a reputation that has been hard to overcome, but now it has new management by those concerned ONLY with the animals. Visitors are greeted with a smile and genuinely welcomed. The facilities are clean and sanitary. There is an abundance of volunteers walking dogs, playing and socializing them. Cats are petted and in clean cages and beds. It is truly a happy place to come to.

There have been many, many adoptions the last three months. This is reflective of the great attitude at the shelter. Dogs that have special needs are well cared for at the shelter or go to a foster home where they can get extra care. Visitors are encouraged to visit with the animals. Everyone who works there truly loves ALL the animals and puts their welfare over all other problems. If an animal needs to go to the vet, as did a recent abused dog, that animal is immediately taken care of.

The people who are now in charge of the shelter have worked very hard and have given hundred of hours of their own personal time to make this happen. They have kept the NO KILL policy the shelter has had. There is now a spay/neuter policy in which no animal goes out for adoption without being neutered. All incoming cats are tested for feline leukemia and treated as necessary for other problems such as upper respiratory diseases, etc. Dogs are tested for heartworm and if negative, given monthly heartworm preventative. If they test positive, they are started on heartworm treatment by the veterinarian. They are bathed and cleaned. Everyone is proud of the care that is given here.

The volunteer program has been very successful. Many of them are young people who love animals and are learning how important it is to have a facility such as this. They have also developed a foster program for puppies, kittens, and eligible adults. Feral cats are trapped, neutered and released to help keep down the feral cat population. They are now networking with other rescue groups in order to have the best facility possible.

The RVHS facility is located at 429 NW Scenic Drive on twelve acres in Grants Pass, OR. It is a non-profit facility that is kept alive and running by volunteers and donations. Every person and penny is much appreciated. Anyone who is interested in volunteering or helping please call Margaret or Christina at 541-479-5154.
