Assault with a dangerous weapon charge?

[Ron61]

Silverback,

We pay the Shasta County Sheriffs Department for a set amount of deputies to be our police force just as they do down in Orange County and other places. They are trained for traffic control and all the rest of the stuff that goes with being a city police force. Instead they are sent to the unincorporated areas which won't join the city as they want to avoid city taxes and we are left with no police. I fell this is the Sheriffs Departments job as they have always patrolled the unincorporated areas and why should we be paying a police force for the city that spends all of its time in the mountains and unincorporated areas? This is not the deputies doing as most of them are good and hard working cops. Maybe we should do away with this set up and just start our own police force. There are plenty of young men and women coming home from the military that could go to the academy and would be happy to have jobs here at home. Then the Sheriff's Department could spend all of their time out in the unincorporated areas.
As for generating money for the seat belts and such, just how much does it cost them every time some person fights it in court and it has been done successfully here.
