[Victims of Court Corruption] Dispute By Authorities Whether Infractions Are a Civil or Criminal Proceeding



Dispute By Authorities Whether Infractions Are  a Civil or Criminal Proceeding

(They honestly just do not know)
Their arguments run the gamete from left to right,
some splitting the difference, taking the middle road.

DMV throws up their hands in frustration.

Best read in reverse order from the bottom up.

I, Ron Branson, personally know Ed Brotherton as a Christian Brother. Thanks, Ed. - Ron

Hi Steve,

Following up with you. I sent the below email on Friday and still need a response.  Do you know what the status is regarding this matter?  More and more people are starting to get wind of this problem and people are contacting me.  I'm going to need to get some answers on this pretty quick.  Please contact me by end of day today and let me know what's going on.  I greatly appreciate it.

Hi Steve,

Just wanted to touch base with you and find out if you know when I'm supposed to be contacted by the communications department you mentioned?  It appears that the issue raised needs to be cleared up more now than ever.  A friend of mine was in traffic court today for an arraignment and there are now even more inconsistencies with the nature of court proceedings for infractions.  This time the Judge said "it's civil". 

When trying to understand the nature of court actions for traffic infractions here is what we have;

Legislative Committee on the Revision on the Penal code (the committee that made the argument to the legislature on creating the infraction classification)
- Not criminal

California Judicial Council
- Not criminal

California Supreme Court
People v. Battle
People v Oppenhiemer
- Not criminal

California Appellate Court
People v Sava
- Not criminal

Los Angele Superior Court Van Nuys (all these are the same case)
Commissioner Omens
- Criminal

Judge Jesic (same case)
- He said, "I don't know"  When asked whether the action was criminal or civil.

City Attorney (same case)
- Quasi criminal

Another City Attorny (same case)
- Quasi Administrative

Los Angele Superior Court Burbank
Judge Applegate
- Criminal

Judge Oldendorff
- Criminal

And today in downtown Los Angeles Superior Court, a Judge gave us another classification of Civil.

The lack of consistency and understanding of the nature of an infraction by the judges and lawyers in the state poses a very serious due process problem that needs to be addressed immediately.

People have a right to know the "nature" and cause of an action and when the powers that be can't get it straight then how does that instill confidence in the judiciary and the proper enforcement of our vehicle laws?  I hope this provides a better understanding of why I'm asking the DMV to clarify this issue.

I look forward to your timely response. 

Thank you

Hi Steve,

It's been a little while and I went ahead and read those code sections you referred to.  Unfortunately it didn't really address the questions raised.  Nowhere between section 4000.1 and 40903 does it state what the nature of a court action is for infractions.  There doesn't appear to be any consistency in understanding by the courts or the city attorney's or the public as to the nature of a court proceeding for an infraction.  In one case alone two judges claimed that 4000(a)(1) is a criminal action.  In the same case the prosecution said it's a quasi-criminal action while at trial another judge said he didn't know what kind of action it was and turned to the prosecution who said "it's quasi administrative".   In another case in Burbank the Judge siad it's a criminal action while the trial court judge said it's an infraction and when asked "so it's not criminal" she reiterated that it's an infraction.  The california supreme court says infractions aren't crimes, People v Battle.  The California Appellate court says infractions aren't crimes, People v Sava.  The Judicial council in their own annual reports say that infractions aren't crimes.  The Legislative committee on the revision of the penal code say that infractions aren't crimes.  From what I can tell.  If you take for example section 4000(a)(1).  This is the law that requires registration. it appears to have all the qualities of a civil action. 

Code of Civil Procedure §24 
               “Action are of two kind:
1.                   Civil; and,
2.                   Criminal
 
Code of Civil Procedure §25
               “A civil action arises out of:
1.                   An obligation; 
2.                   An injury
 
Code of Civil Procedure §26
               “An obligation is a legal duty, by which one person is bound to do or not to do a certain thing, and arises from:
   One--Contract; or,
   Two--Operation of law”.    In this particular it would appear that the requirement to register a vehicle is an obligation to not drive a motor vehicle unless the the vehicle has been registered and appropriate fees have been paid and this obligation come  from an operation of law called california vehicle code section 4000(a)(1).  This would certainly make this a civil action.  Does the DMV have the same understanding and can you tell me if my analysis is correct?  This issue   really needs to get cleared up as many more people are running into similar problems with this uncertainty of the law.    Thanks    Ed Brotherton  818-376-9500

Hi Steve,

Thanks for letting me email you with some questions regarding the nature of an infraction as it relates to prosecutions.

The reason this has become an issue is because there is a huge misunderstanding as to what kind of action a traffic infraction is.   California Code of Civil Procedure Section 24 require actions to be of two kind Criminal and Civil.

I had a case where I had a commissioner saying the infraction I was being charged with was a criminal action.  The judicial councils owns literature such as the Judicial Councils Annual Report, The Legislative Council on the Revision of the Penal Code and case law such as People v. Sava have all concluded that infractions are not crimes, which is what justifies the denial of a trial by jury and court appointed Counsel. 

In that very same case a City Attorney informed me that it was Quasi-criminal but there is no law to support that, that I know of.  An actual judge in the exact same case admitted to not knowing at all what kind of action it was.  When he turned to the City Attorney's they said it was Quasi-administrative.  Then when I brought up the fact that according to Los Angeles own city charter the city attorney is only authorized to prosecute for misdemeanors.  The Judge at this point said and I quote "Well, they're not really prosecuting this case.  The court will sometimes call upon the city attorney's office to assist in certain cases".  How can the same case be three different kinds of actions?

The other problem myself and many others are running into is that when one gets a notice to appear there is nothing indicating who to serve any motions on.  No indication who the plaintiff is and no indication who's prosecuting the case etc.  So if someone wants to file a Demur or other type of motion, notice is required but how can one give notice when you you don't know who to give notice to.  Can you please provide some information that can help me understand this better because it really is making no sense.

Thanks

[Victims of Court Corruption] Re: Working together to expose in the context of the presidential campaign judges' unaccountability and consequent riskless wrongdoing


Richard Cordero:

I have scanned through your 151 paged proposed agenda, which appears to me to be to send, if you have not already done so, it to Presidential Candidate Mitt Romney for inclusion in his acceptance speech. Therein, you include the creation of a for-profit judicial unaccountability reporting advocacy, to wit;

h. Creation of an institute of judicial unaccountability reporting and reform advocacy 205. The business and academic venture 213 includes the creation of a for-profit institute of judicial
unaccountability reporting and reform advocacy 212.


You point out, "Kindly note that since my proposal would be most effectively implemented during the current presidential campaign, time is of the essence."

I respond that this very night, Thursday, August 30th, Romney makes his acceptance speech, so there is little hope that anything you propose is going to be included within his acceptance speech.

As to the substance of your proposal in the creation of a judicial unaccountability reporting advocacy, it presumes that the very elected politicians who are rejecting the Judicial Accountability & Integrity Legislation, might be interested in creating a judicial unaccountability reporting advocacy forum. I see no basis for such speculation or hope. Is this theory based upon a name change, but in substance, is the same?

Tell me what you find wrong with the Federal J.A.I.L. Bill that has been proposed to all these bureaucrats for years, and how your proposal cures its shortcomings?

Dear Mr. Branson,

 

Thank you for your prompt reply.

 

You asked a question and as its foundation stated your related experience. It is indeed your own experience that provides the basis for my answer:

 

“When you speak of working together, do you have a [sic] idea how we can together better advance getting this on the ballot or getting Congress to take action? I have been pushing this agenda since 1995. To date I have not found a single Congressman, U.S. Senator, or state legislator who will touch this legislation with a ten-foot pole, including the most conservative.”

 

No member of the House or the Senate has dare call to account the Federal Judiciary for having abrogated in effect an act of their own, namely, the Judicial Conduct and Disability Act of 1980 that entrusts judges with an exclusive self-policing procedure. Congress has been informed for over the last 32 years in the annual report that it required the Judiciary to file with it that federal judges systematically dismiss complaints against their peers. Thereby judges have self-exempted from any accountability and in practice assured each other that their wrongdoing is riskless and all the more profitable since it does not require costly measures to avoid and defend after detection.

 

What Congress has not done in reaction to the Judiciary’s disregard of its Act, it is not going to do to respond to our plea to take on the most powerful public officials in the country: unelected, life-tenured, in practice unimpeachable federal judges.

 

The official statistics contained in that annual report and supporting the above statements are referenced at http://Judicial-Discipline-Reform.org/2012_E/DrRCordero_jud_unaccountability_reporting.pdf >jur:21§1. See also my previous email on this issue.

 

Therefore, I agree with what follows from your experience: Pursuing an agenda geared toward getting Congress to hold federal judges accountable or getting on a state ballot a popular initiative to that end is doomed to failure. To pursue that agenda any further can only warrant the application of Einstein’s aphorism:

 

“The hallmark of irrationality is doing the same thing while expecting a different result.”

 

Consequently, my answer to your question takes due account of our common experience with Congress as well as my experience with the courts themselves, from bankruptcy, district, and circuit courts to the Supreme Court104b, 109c .

 

That answer is based on a different strategy set forth in the short article at id., xxvii, whose summarizing title is this:

 

Novel Strategy For Taking Action Against Wrongdoing Judges

by removing the fight from the judges’ turf, the courts, out to the public,

and taking into account the interests of journalists and politicians

during a presidential campaign, when they are most receptive, so that

they may help in exposing wrongdoing by judges so outrageous as to

stir up the public to demand that the media and the authorities

investigate the judges and their enabling judiciary and undertake

effective legislated judicial accountability and discipline reform

 

 

The concrete way in which I propose that we work together to expose judges’ wrongdoing and consequent riskless wrongdoing takes advantage of the presidential campaign and was pointed to in my previous email references to id. >i, xxv, and xxxiii.

 

So I respectfully invite you and all the reasonable and realistic members of your organization to read them. Then we can discuss your views of it.

 

Kindly note that since my proposal would be most effectively implemented during the current presidential campaign, time is of the essence.

 

I look forward to hearing from you.

You have written to me suggesting that we work together to expose judicial unaccountability. Judicial accountability is a noble cause of which simply must come about.

P. O. Box 149756
Boston, MA 02114-9756 tel. (857)288-3500

Dear Governor Romney,

This is a proposal for your use in our mutual benefit in your campaign of my professional research on, and litigation experience in, the Federal Judiciary.i It is prompted by the ad that you released on February 24, criticizing President Obama’s justiceship nominee Then-Judge Sotomayor as a ���������������. That is a subjective notion that only resonates with part of the electorate. Hence, Hispanic organizations have criticized you for being insensitive to issues of importance to Hispanic voters.ii No doubt, the President will try to indispose that block of voters against you.

This proposal aims to base your criticism of Now Justice Sotomayor and the President too on their wrongdoingiii, which is a matter of objective evidence of their disregard of their duties (87§§a-d) and infraction of the law64. Even the liberal papers The New York Times, The Washington Post, and Politico suspected her of concealment of assets(61§1), which points to evasion of taxes. Yet, he nominated her as he had other known tax cheats ¶107.

Her performance in the bankruptcy case DeLano, which she presided over102, shows her cover-up of a judge-run bankruptcy fraud scheme87(62§2). Your presentation(121§1) of the evidence can show that judges engage in wrongdoing, regardless of their ethnicity, because of their unaccountability iv (21§1), which renders it riskless, irresistible and all the more profitable to them (25§2), though detrimental to the public(26§3), so long as they cover for each other¶117(64§3), whether Democrats or Republicans put them in office. The evidence will outrage people (83§2) of all political persuasions¶14. Your courage in exposing wrongdoing judges to defend the public1 can win you voters’ respect, donations, and votes as they hail you as the People’s Champion of Justice134a.


Your presentation need only provide enough evidence to send journalists, in quest of a Pulitzer-deserving scoop, on a Watergate-like ¶¶4-8 generalized media investigation(126§a) that
asks:
���������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������
������������ ����������� ���� ����� ���� ����� ����� ���� Their revelations, like superPAC negative ads against him at no cost to you, can gain a momentum of their own that can cause one or more justices and judges to resign, as Justice Abe Fortas had to in 1969¶158. Though you �����������������������
��������������� ������� ����� ���� ����������v, you can make one for the President that can lead to your picking your own Supreme Court by filling vacancies. His expected refusal to release the FBI vetting report on J. Sotomayor will only fuel the outrage at his having lied to the public about her integrity just as she did about her ���������� ��� ���� ���� ¶113 and impair his fundraising. This will benefit your war chest, depleted by a nomination contest that may go to the Convention. Highlighting
the economic harm inflicted by judicial wrongdoing on the people will allow you to stay on your economic recovery theme. You can incite the media to investigate your three Washington insider opponents for their hypocrisy in criticizing judges’ for their social issues ����������v in defiance of the Constitution while failing to perform their constitutional checks and balances on
the Judiciary (29§§2,3), allowing it to become a power center outside democratic control ¶181.

Your reform(131§§e-h) of the Judiciary can become your most significant and enduring legacy. I think strategically. I can be an asset to your team. So I respectfully request that you invite me to make a presentation(151§F) to you and your managers of the evidence and my proposal for a business and academic venture vi (125§3).

Sincerely,

Dr. Richard Cordero
