RE: Agenda Item 50A — ORDINANCE FIRST READING: AMENDING SECTIONS 10-196
TO 10-199 TO CHAPTER 10, ARTICLE III OF THE SANTA ANA MUNICIPAL CODE TO
RECOVER DUI EMERGENCY RESPONSE COSTS {STRATEGIC PLAN GOAL 1, 51 —
Police Department
Dear Mayor and Councilmembers,
While we fully support the concept that the City should be able to recoup the costs of
emergency services provided when a resident behaves badly, such as a DUI, we find this
particular ordinance at this time, hypocritical.
Perhaps the Police Department should instead offer a course entitled, "How to get arrested for
DUI, refuse the mandatory test, be an asshole to the arresting officers, have the case
dismissed by the DA's Office, rise to one of the highest paid positions in the City and wrest
control of the City from the residents and their duly elected representatives."
It's very simple. Either Westminster Police committed perjury by filing a false police report or
the Orange County DA's office is complicit in enabling a Santa Ana Police Officer to become
the de facto Mayor of Santa Ana in an egregious scheme of pay to play.
Regardless of whether the DA has been criminally culpable or whether you want to pass this
off as "Politics as Usual" each of you recognize that this pay to play scheme is wrong, corrupt,
unethical and will eventually catch up with you. Are you going to clean it up or are you going
to stick your head in the sand and hope the FBI doesn't come knocking on your door?
Sincerely,
Dave Hoen
