We all know that most criminals are not the brightest people. In fact, most of them are really stupid and that’s why they commit crimes and why they get caught. So let’s all just agree that criminals are dumb, okay? Alright, now that we got that out of the way let me give you some proof. A couple of months back my partner and I were in Watsonville, CA. waiting for defendant to make himself visible. We were pretty sure of the address so all we had to do was wait. About an hour into our surveillance an older model pickup truck pulls up in front of the house. Inside the truck was the defendant and what appeared to be his father. The defendant climbs out of the truck and immediately jumps into a beat up old black Camaro and starts burning rubber in front of the house; just like any smart fugitive would do. Nice way to lay low idiot.

it’s been too long since I’ve posted and I have a lot of catching up to do. It is true about crime increasing when the economy sours. We’ve seen an increase in theft, drug and violence related crimes. So much so that the jails are doing more OR (releasing someone on their own recognizance) to alleviate the crowding. The majority of my cases continue to involve drug use, specifically methamphetamine.

Meth is the worst drug to hit the streets in the US since the cocaine epidemic of the 80’s. However, I believe that Meth is having a far worse social impact on America.

I sitting in my car, alone in Santa Clara looking to a homeless female woman who we will call CT. This is the second time we’ve bailed out CT and the second time she’s missed court. The last time she was bailed out for possession of meth and we eventually found her in Santa Clara, near Central Park when she spends time hanging out with the other homeless people.

This time she got caught stealing from a local supermarket and we bailed her out again. I wasn’t surprised as we are notorious for re-bailing someone who has already proven a lack of concern for the judicial system. CT on the other hand is homeless and laws and court mean nothing to her. I don’t believe she set out to miss court, she probably has no idea she even had a court date. Her only concern is how she’s going to eat, where to sleep and where’s the next score’s coming from.
