This is rapidly becoming my favorite gardening show.  This show is an in-depth examination of deer damage.

“Bill Clinton always found himself trying to redeem and rescue his family,” historian William Chafe remarked … “Part of doing that is to… put yourself in the position of rescuing not just your family, but everybody, including yourself, by doing good“

This quote came after a discussion about alcoholism among his parents (his father in particular).

A good site with Colorado government misconduct (“corruption”) summaries.

These (police misconduct attorneys) are usually not much use but…

The issues surrounding Ted Mink are vast, so much so I’ve started a more in-depth analysis here.

If you’d like some information on the issues I raised my main blog is peterpfeiffer.co.cc/columns and some other websites are listed on the home page (peterpfeiffer.co.cc).  Another blog (theResearchSource.net/operation-clean-up) is in the process of being moved and some of that content can be found by clicking “Operation Clean-Up” in the categories section of the main blog.  All of these are mostly just my own notes on what is going on.

I’m in a hurry too and can’t really tell the entire, years-long story here.  Why do I do it?  I dislike corruption.  And I feel these “services” are the biggest impediments to my enjoyment of my home, neighborhood, and local surroundings.  As you probably know, there are a lot of people around here who feel ‘we like it the way it is.’  I suspect it would be a lively debate for your readers.

Example:  In my neighborhood some third-to-half of the homes have zoning violations.  The corruption in the sheriff’s department is unspeakable–recent events have led me to learn that it is far worse than I thought.  Are you familiar with the Ted Mink ACLU case?  It was fairly-successfully hidden.  My last e-mail to Ted Mink included something like ‘please don’t send deputies to my home to harass/attempt to intimidate me.  That has happened at least four times in the past, once after midnight.’

I can also cite some pretty serious issues with respect to the Division of Parks and Wildlife (formerly DOW) as that is a hobby and business pursuit.

It is really, really bad.  And it is NOT a budget issue.  My “inquiries” go all the way to the governor and FBI.  Oh, and a local representative…

Please respect the fact that this is not a “letter to the editor” in terms of publication and most of the content on my websites isn’t really fit to be published without permission.  But, I strongly hope it will give you some very serious ideas.

Please give me a call if you’d like to discuss things.  And I hope you’ll be forthright with me–does your publication want to make a difference?  If we can communicate maybe I will put together something fit for publication…

Failed to mention…  Are you familiar with the noxious weed problem here?  The CRS has specific requirements for their eradication; county officals refuse.  This is documented.

This–the environment–and wild animal abuse (specific Division of Parks and Wildlife issues) are issues that resonate with many people.

If/when the time is right I will write a publishable editorial to your organization.

Contacting the FBI and ACLU has led me to try and think this through.  Thus…

Sheriff Ted Mink is denying me and thousands of others of our civil rights by failing to enforce the law.  That is his legal and fiduciary duty.  His employees have failed to investigate and prosecute numerous reported crimes–frequently there is no response at all.  The “intake” process is intentionally cumbersome (e.g., public e-mail addresses are not provided to callers); deputies are poorly-trained and “thuglike”–their role is to deny and avoid; they respond from wireless phones from vehicles (if at all) and almost never truly investigate; the process is designed to hide names and responsibility; supervisors are the same; and complaints to “internal affairs” are not followed up at all.  The “criminal investigative division” has no intake procedures whatsoever–cases are squashed through the deputy “response” process.  All citizen complaints, reports, and problems must (with some exceptions) go through an inefficient central phone number.

There are virtually no patrols or proactive punitive measures (e.g., an illegal discarded refrigerator sitting just off a busy intersection for 3-5 years).

The result for residents is lawlessness and frequent conflicts.

For me personally…  the attack dog and no charges (twice) illegally running free; constant traffic infractions (e.g., speeding, driving on the wrong side of the street, hit-and-run damage to my property (FedEx); light harassment from two neighbors; failure to investigate County corruption; failure to protect wild animals (per the CRS); failure to make parks and neighborhoods safe and accessible (e.g., County animal ordinance, vandalism and hate crime writing (CRS)).  These reported crimes have either not been investigated, responded to at all, or prosecuted.  In addition I have had at least four experiences with deputies–some more than one–coming to my home to harass or try to intimidate for reporting crimes.  One such incident involved banging on my front door after midnight and accusing me of a crime; I wrote to Ted Mink the next day and he did not respond and later refused to meet with me; “internal affairs” further squashed the incident.

Actual crime statistics are under-reported.  Crimes are obstructed.  Public records are falsified (e.g., an annual citizen complaint report).

This is despite an unusually high law enforcement per resident budget.  Unincorporated Jefferson County also has a well-above-average officer-to-resident ratio.  Translation:  money is wasted.  The constant running around and the obfuscation are expensive.

So, how do you prove it?  What is the case?  Is denying inalienable rights–limiting peace and happiness– too amorphous and difficult to prove?  Maybe the way to do is through other, ancillary offenses such as abuse of power, obstruction, fiduciary duty, police harassment, and falsifying records.

Question:  Why wasn’t the Ted Mink ACLU-illegally detaining case more publicized?  Why didn’t the Board of Commissioners, Attorney General, or District Attorney do anything?

Note:  Mr. Sylvester seemed really nervous when he returned my call to attempt to permanently obfuscate my complaints.  He said “I would receive a letter in a couple of weeks.”  He said he/they had had meetings; he came from them and…
