They should be ashamed of themselves," --Neighbor Chris Daly said. In fact, animal services sought a warrant to inspect the property to investigate allegations of animal mistreatment. In 2005, County Planning Department Investigators cited the owner for code violations including operation of a kennel. So why didn't anything happen? "The decision in this case by our hearing officer was that the animal control officer did not have probable cause to be on the property in the first place. Our hearing officer said that didn't stand the legal test," said Ken Hart of the County of Santa Cruz Planning Department. "Could it all have been avoided? If you want to rewind the clock, possibly."

Mr. Friend seems to state it is completely lawful that the disabled (due an industrial accident that occured while performing a building inspection) LoFranco was "shoved" by Brave Burns as a security measure to protect HIS Department. Mr. Friend may make up new charges as needed to protect Burns, a fellow bureaucrat. Possible Charges include "crowding" near a doorway in a Public Building, which in Mr. Friends informed and official legal opinion (he is also Spokesman for the Santa Cruz Police Department) warrant a"shove" from Planning Director Burns. Santa Cruz Police Department seems to have a very unique, and political party afiliated based law enforcement procedure. Mr.Friend interprets laws much as our County Board of Supervisors.
