Mt View Police Officers Association

Mt view police suck with nothing to do but but harass motorists on downtown busy streets during the holidays. Came here for lunch. Left with a ticket for a left turn after I was motioned thru the intersection by the oncoming vehicle. They even threatened to take me to jail if I didn’t sign it. Merry freeking Xmas to these two cretins. Should be minus 0 stars if I could. They are overpaid just trying to inflate their quotas with hard working taxpayer dollars. May they rot in hell.

Officer sirhan from mountain view police department should be terminated from serving as an officer. Without any legal justifications, he opened my car door and interrogate my ten years old daughter why she was video taping. My daughter was not video taping and even if she was, there was nothing wrong about that. He would not stop interrogating her and caused her to break down in tears.

This is a review of a few of the officers of the Mt View Police Dept. and how they choose to treat individuals with disabilities.
According to the ADA, I believe my civil rights have been violated, that I was discriminated against because of my impairments.
On Monday, 4÷13÷09 I was forcefully removed from my home during a «welfare check», I believe the final decision was made by an officer Eilaine G. Longshore.
First, I am differentlyabled, I am missing part of my left arm, I have a seizure disorder, PTSD, and Panic Disorder (these disabilities are not visible) I was trying to explain that I had a skull fracture a while back and it makes answering questions quickly a problem.
She decided I was «resisting» her, and proceeded to separate me from my service dog, would not allow me to request anything else, would not allow me to call one of my daughters, or my mother, in Palo Alto even though I requested. At no time did try to resist, I only weigh 110, I have 1 hand. I wasn’t, crying, I wasn’t arguing, I wasn’t yelling, I wasn’t fighting, Why Was I Being labeled RESISTANT? I actually couldn’t talk by now.
I was not allowed to collect seizure medication or anything further except my handbag. Even then I had trouble telling them where it was.
That forceful removal from my home left bruises on my arms & legs. Now, I can’t sleep, my panic & PTSD are out of control, and my service dog hasn’t stopped shaking, his tail hasn’t come out from between his legs. At first, they were going to leave him in the house, then I asked if they could take him to the neighbor’s, another officer — Amro Sirhan, went back in and picked him up by his collar!!! and carried him next door.
Before I knew what was happening, like a criminal, I had my arms behind me (Officer Sirhan) and was being shuffled into the black & white. There I sat for another hour. In front of my neighbors, like a criminal! For what reason? I was in a state of panic, I was anxious; I was extremely stressed and very humiliated. This is even in front of a ride along, of some sort.
I am clearly not suicidal. The hospital discharged me with a diagnosis of stress reaction within an hour of my arrival. In my pj’s I had to take a cab home, without my service dog.
Is this how people with disabilities are treated in Mountain View, in California, the USA?
In a conversation with Sgt. Keith Plamondon, (internal affairs) said they have no policies or procedures regarding service animals in jail, in transportation to hospital, etc. «Even a seeing eye dog would be taken to the Palo Alto Animal Services, if you were blind & drunk & disrupting the public and had to be taken in».
So all of our service animals are in jeopardy.
The K-​9 patrol are given high priority and sometime gun salutes when killed on duty; and service dogs (who actually help) are being taken to shelters.
Something needs to change.

This is the greatest story ever told. A few weeks ago my bike was stolen from the caltrain station and I had given up hope. I did not even file a police report. I figured that the odds of ever getting it back were pretty slim, and we are all busy people so whatever, right?
Fast forward to last week. I am cruising craigslist looking for a good deal on a used bike. What do I see? Why, it is the exact make, model and color of my old bike, being sold in Mountain View, half a mile from the caltrain station! Hmmmm.
So a few emails to the seller later I have enough information to firm up my suspicion that it is my bike.
A. Cash Only
B. He doesn’t know basic details about the bike
C. «meet me on the corner of X and Y and I’ll come out with the bike»
Riiiiight.
So here is where the Mountain View PD come in. I stroll into the station at 5pm. I tell the Mountain View PD that I’m meeting this guy at 7:20 and it would just be cool if an officer can come with and check the serial number with me. I’m really not expecting them to drop everything they are doing or anything, just if they have someone free for a few minutes.
What happens?
I get a complete sting operation organized in under 1 hour involving a squad car, an officer in the station orchestrating the whole thing and at least two undercover cops on the street making it all happen. Two hours later, I am the happiest guy in the world with my bike returned to me.
The thieves even cleaned up the bike to sell it!
This is quite literally the best police response anyone could have asked for. I mean, I guess they could have gotten my bike back and then took me for a ride on the space shuttle. That would have been cooler, but there is no Unilocal in space so nobody would have known about it.
I want to give 100 stars to the mountain view police but this crazy website only goes up to 5.
