HPD's Got A Handle On Security, Bub


If the situation is threatening enough to cause a change in levels moment to moment, it stands to my reason, it would remain at a certain level until there is a sufficient enough change to bring it to a lesser level. But that's just me.


On the 17th of Oct., I submit a complaint to the Police Commission relaying concers about the treatment I experienced at the security checkpoint at HPD District 1 the previous day.

Returning to the station to locate a article I left, I am told by Officer Kahele, in the presence of one officer Hung, and another, that it is mandatory that produce ID, and that I remove everything from my pockets, and take off my belt before passing through the metal detector.

I point out this information is not on the signs, and officer Kahele says there will be no furtherance of my purpose if I do not comply. After complying, I am told by officer Kahele that I must sit down, or she will not take my report.Previous to this occasion , when at the HPD headquarters, I was never asked to remove everything from my pockets and, or to remove my belt, or that I had to produce ID to enter. Officer Lau, the sargeant for this post, tells me the same.

I am told by a detective that it is not mandatory to produce ID, but depending on the threat level, that may change day to day, one may be required to remove everything from ones pockets etc., or be required to submit to different procedures. I inform him on that same day I was not required to do so. He inform me that the security level may change from moment to moment.


On Oct. 16, 2006 I submit a complaint to HPD Intrtnal Affairs relaying concerns about not being asked to identify the driver of the vehicle that hit me on the 8th of Sept., and the fact that the person who stood as Chris Pa at the arraignment was not the driver of the car.

Did You Get That License Plate Number?





The Honolulu Police Department Is On The JOB


November 22, 2006... 75 days after being sturck by the vehicle and seeing the driver long enough to get of his hood and have him ask me if I'm OK, before leaving the seen, I am given a photo line - up to view, almost 2 months later. The detective tells me this is not the end of the investigation.

Internal Insest

The Honolulu Police Department Strikes Again


I receive a letter from Internal Affairs, about my complaint concerning not being asked to identify the driver of the vehicle that struck me.


" Your complaint, filed with Internal Affairs on October 17, 2006, has been investigated by the officers' immediate command. Upon a review of the facts available, they were not able to find sufficent evidence to sustain your complaint".

Incidently while at Internal Affairs, I saw a document in their copy of the report that I didn't have in two separate reports I recieved from "records". Which document? ..... the one with the discription of the driver, that could have matched someone else that could have been at the location where the driver was found.

Evidently the report is not enough to show that I was not asked to identify the driver, on the night of the "collision. But at least there's still "Misdemeanor Follow Up" - strange name for a police department - has the only ball now

Commission Of Shame

Honolulu Police Commision:

This is a copy of the letter received from the Honolulu Police Commision "detailing" the investigation and outcome of my complaint.

Notice the date of the "disscussion".

The same date, January 10, as my appearance at the trial of Mr. Pa, the owner of the car that struck me, that was not driven by him. At this "trial", the prosecuting attorney, Ms. Sugita says, Your case is dismissed, you can go now". I would have thought it was the state's case. At least, that's what was stated on the summons.

THE ALOHA CON

This is the place where, those who would complain about wrongdoing are persecuted, harassed, smeared and railroaded. Where the perpetrators who sometimes orchestrate the conflict are promoted and, or transferred, bribed to keep quiet and, or go along with the cover-up.
