:Info & News On San Jose Escorts.

Tim Pori, Tanabe’s attorney, said the case is based on the false statements of one person. “I haven’t seen any other evidence,” he said.
“The reality is my client was a police officer who was doing his duty by arresting drunk drivers. He was not part of a conspiracy in any way, shape or form,” Pori said.
Authorities learned that several men, perhaps five, had been set up to get so-called “Dirty DUIs” after Butler and former Central Contra Costa Narcotics Enforcement Team commander Norman Wielsch were arrested in February on charges of selling
stolen drug evidence. The misconduct scandal grew to include allegations of prostitution, illegal weapons, theft and criminal threats. Wielsch, Butler and former San Ramon officer Louis Lombardi were indicted by federal grand juries this summer and fall.

He would then call Tanabe and have the men arrested for drunken driving as they were leaving, according to the complaint. The men in these cases were often the husbands of Butler’s clients who were involved in legal battles with their spouses.
According to reports, Tanabe denies that he knew of the scheme or took bribes from Butler to make DUI arrests. Tanabe’s attorney, Tim Pori, told reporters that the entire federal case is based on false information from Butler.
Along with former CNET commander Normal Wielsch, Butler was arrested earlier this year on charges of selling stolen methamphetamine and marijuana from county evidence lockers. The country corruption case grew to include allegations of illegal weapons, prostitution and former San Ramon Police officer Louis Lombardi before being taken over by federal prosecutors in June.

Flappers became a symbol of the 20s, but most females did not adopt the short skirts, bobbed hair and heavy make-up of the flapper, according to Blair. Still, she concluded that women did grow more independent.
“Higher hemlines, smoking and drinking became everyday occurrences,” said Blair.
Determining the location of a speakeasy was probably not too difficult, considering many morphed in to respectable restaurants. The Moss Beach Distillery on the coast boasts a fabled flapper ghost; other spots known for their shady past include the Miramar Beach Restaurant, called the Miramar Hotel during Prohibition. An imposing private residence in Pacifica, dubbed the “castle” for obvious reasons, was a well-known speakeasy.  Farther inland, what is now Van’s Restaurant in Belmont was owned in the 1930s by Elsie Smuck, whose services included gambling as well as liquor. Rumor had it that there was also a bordello.
Blair said prostitution was not illegal, but some spots, such as the Princeton Inn, were closed as a public nuisance.

Members of the College Park Neighborhood Association met to discuss recent incidents in their neighborhood with Jose Salcido, a senior policy adviser to Mayor Chuck Reed; Laurin Engler, Station 7 fire captain; Ta; and Denelle Fedor, chief of staff for councilmember Pierluigi Oliverio.
That discussion centered on a couple of issues. One resident has begun meeting other neighbors at Bellarmine College Preparatory at the intersection of University and Elm. They patrol the neighborhood once during the day and again in the evening with flashlights and cell phones.
“We are the eyes and ears of the neighborhood. We walk about 45 minutes and don’t follow a pattern. We look out for streetlights that are out. Dogs are welcome,” said Michael Blackman.
Other residents are concerned about the Super 8 Motel on the corner of University and The Alameda. They discussed what appears to be prostitution at the motel as well as recent reports of gunshots and screaming.

… People will absolutely continue to assemble and to assert free speech,” says Occupy Protestor Tobias Aguirre. “We will collectively decide where we want this country to go, so yes we will continue to come together.”
On Thursday night, the former occupiers of San Lorenzo Park plotted their next move and complained about police kicking them out Thursday morning.
“This was a non-violent protest,” says Occupy Protestor Chris Brown. “Why did they come with sticks, guns and shields? We never fought back.”
After exactly two months in the park, police said occupiers were a public nuisance. Once they cleared the park, there was 8 tons of trash as proof.
“We don’t support the trash,” says Zach Friend of Santa Cruz Police. “We don’t support the takeover of the banks, the drug use, the prostitution or the issues we faced down there.”

SANTA CRUZ, Calif. - Despite cold temperatures, more than 50 occupiers camped at San Lorenzo Park in Santa Cruz on Monday night. But, Santa Cruz Police hope an evacuation notice will have them gone by Wednesday.
More than a dozen Santa Cruz police officers made a surprise visit at the Occupy Camp to serve them a notice that reads occupiers must leave by Wednesday night or they will be cited or arrested.
“There’s possible drug use,” says Santa Cruz Police Chief Kevin Vogel. “There’s prostitution. It’s gotten to the point where it’s just not safe.”
The Santa Cruz County Sheriff’s Department agrees, saying it received 132 reports of drug use, threatening behavior, vandalism, public defecation and urination, and public drunkenness at or near the county government center where occupiers hang out.
Since Occupy Santa Cruz protests began two months ago, it cost the county nearly $40,000. That includes $6,000 to clean up human waste, $15,000 for sheriff costs, $12,000 for security guards and $3,500 to modify security at the facility.

Rodriguez, now 50, faces a maximum of 25 years to life in prison if the jury convicts him of first-degree murder. He could get 15 years to life if jurors opt for second-degree. However, if the jury believes he acted in the heat of passion and convicts him of manslaughter, he would face only six years — the sentence on the books three decades ago.
Police remained unaware of Rodriguez’s role until recently because he fled the scene and never called them. His involvement was only discovered in 2008, when the crime lab running a cold-case test on a bloody towel found at the scene matched Rodriguez’s DNA.
Rodriguez testified Monday that he believes he was the victim in the incident, but he was afraid to report the encounter to police because he felt they wouldn’t believe a male prostitute. He said he had once tried to report being pelted with bottles from people driving by the spot in downtown San Jose where he waited for male customers to approach him, and that authorities told him it was his fault for being “flamboyant.”
