America's Toughest Sheriff also has issues with improperly closed or investigated sexual assault and abuse cases, about 400 or more of them; then there's the millions of tax dollars that have been spent, both in his wild haired allegations against public officials and defending himself against lawsuits against him. AZ is an interesting place . . . you can misuse millions of dollars, but so long as you appear tough on immigration violations, all can be forgiven.

How do you get yours? Most of ours walk or wade across a border. I would think that would be considerably more difficult for Australia.

this portion of the article is interesting.....
The Justice Department report quotes from some people characterized as victims of the department’s overzealous ways. It cites the case of a Latino driver who won a $600,000 legal settlement after a deputy intentionally struck him with his patrol car during a traffic stop. In another case, an inmate was not allowed to use another inmate as an interpreter to tell a detention officer that her sheets were soiled. She was told she had to make the request herself in English, even though she did not speak the language well. After Sheriff Arpaio received a letter complaining that employees of a McDonald’s in Sun City, a retirement community, did not speak English, the sheriff forwarded the letter to a top aide, who mounted an immigration raid in the area.

No more pink pajamas?
Does that mean the prisoners won't be wearing pink anymore, or sent out to pick the lettuce when the local militias are too successful in busting illegals and getting them deported?

. . . and if the deputy doesn't speak or understand your language, which they are not required to do . . . the first thing they learn about others of the group offering to translate . . . is never to trust their translations. If they were willing to wait . . . probably a spanish speaking deputy would have handled the issue later.

NO PRISONERS HERE!!
Lakeland, FL made national headlines on September 28, 2006 when Polk County Sheriff's Deputy Vernon "Matt" Williams and his K-9 partner, Diogi, were shot and killed after a routine traffic stop. The incident sparked outrage among the central Florida law enforcement community. More than 500 law officials came together in search of Angilo Freeland, the suspect wanted in connection with the murder. The next morning Freeland was found hiding under a fallen tree. Nine SWAT members fired 110 shots at Freeland, hitting him 68 times and killing him on the spot. When asked by the Orlando Sentinel, why the police had shot Freeland 68 times, Sheriff Grady Judd replied "we ran out of bullets".

The part about doing anything other than cooperating fully to facilitate the detection and deportation of people who are not supposed to be here.

I do find the large reported number of botched/not followed up criminal assault/abuse cases disturbing.
