I wouldn't report stuff to you either. You just grease the axels of law brekers and aid and abet them through your little news rag.

The sheriff's made a career of stonewalling critical media — the public's right to know be damned
Eleven hours later, two plainclothes deputies from the sheriff's Selective Enforcement Unit showed up at my Tempe home. They said they wouldn't have to take me to jail as long as I signed a citation they had brought with them. The charge against me: disorderly conduct — making "unreasonable noise" at Iafrate's office. The offense carries a potential sentence of six months in jail and/or a $2,500 fine.
After that, the sheriff insisted that I inspect public records inside his jail.

My case is not as significant as the one involving potentially bogus subpoenas and the arrest of New Times executives Lacey and Larkin. But, unlike theirs, my case is still pending. I'm fighting the charge.

Problem is Sandra, Thomas and Arpaio sleep together and the other Politicians and the AG are as spineless as it gets. Don't count on much to happen. The best way to get rid of the slimeballs is voting them out of office in November 2008.
This is the feelings of a group of concerned citizens; "Please, "New Times", let us know what we can do to help stop this criminal, as in FELONY ABUSE OF PUBLIC OFFICE, give us any information that will help us get these felons charged with the crimes that they have committed and punished for this BLATANT ABUSE OF PUBLIC OFICE. This should be handled in a way as to make an example of them so that this will never happen agein. We will not tolerate this kind of behavior, it is absolutely unacceptable, and a breach of the public's trust. If you could be so kind as to head us off in the right direction, we will be forever indebted to you.
Unbelievable!!! Can't we do anything besides vote? I can't afford to come to Phoenix to circulate petitions but mail me some and I'll work on it here.
Ray,Great job, you told it like it is, factual, truthful and a great piece of work.Love you all at the New Times and I thank GOD that someone in Maricopa County is not affraid to tell the truth about these Nazi's called Maricopa County Sheriff's Office.Watch your back brother, I can say from first hand experience, these guys are worst than the snakes that crawl below the earth.You're brother in the fight to expose these dirt bags all the way to the end.Jim Cozzolino
