Aloha Vernon Balmer Jr.

We received your e-mail and regarding the questions stated in your e-mail. Some one possible had called in a complaint of a person sleeping in a public area during business hours. In your e-mail you had mentioned that you did not have any picture id to identify who you claimed to be. Therefore, the officer inquired for a SSN card, which you willingly provided. You provided your name and with your SSN the officer was “running a make” to ascertain if you have been arrested in the pass. If you were arrested in the pass there would be a physical description of you and a verification of your name. These are normal procedures. The taken of your photo is done in compliance between two parties.

Hopefully, this response has addressed your questions.

Mahalo and may your day be filled with the aloha spirit.

I recently was awakened by officers and given a warning about sleeping during the wrong hours, in Waikiki.

1. I was aware of the new laws, but was surprised to have one of the officers take my picture.

I would like to know is this part of the law, as procedure, or just the whim of HPD.

2. I didn't have picture ID at the time, so an officer asked for my SSN. What is this for? I informed the officer our numbers should be protected, as I'm sure he knows. He said it was to help identify me and that he was going to " run a make". This sounds a little involved for a warning. Please tell me the proper procedure and what was discretionary. I don't think officers should be able to excercise whim, they should follow procedure.

Again, this time sans the request for SSN. Another picture for the Homeless Catalog taken, while my questions in the email are coincidently answered by the female voice on the officer's radio. This is called coordination and communication.

I still have Bwankie, just can't use it between the hours of 10PM and 5AM.

They say the laws don't TARGET the homeless. Who else sleeps outside, in parks, on the beach and benches, between the hours of 10PM and 5AM.

With all respect due officers that don't lie, cheat, steal, murder, and generally BS the public, the officers are following the mandates of the residents, shopkeepers and politicians. I even think this is more the case, than complaints from tourists.

No answer from HPD email yet.

AWAKE!!!

HOMELESS IN WAIKIKI - PRETEXT VIGNETTES


AWAKE PEOPLE APPRECIATE KINDNESS MORE THAT THOSE THAT MAY BE DEEP IN THE LITTLE SLEEP AND RESPITE THE CIRCUMSTANCES BRING THEM. YOU THINK!



(ACT 1)
WHILE ENJOYING THE LITTLE SLEEP POSSIBLE IN DISTURBING & CHALLENGING CONDITIONS, I AM AWAKENED BY WHAT SEEMS TO BE A USUAL GROUP OF REVELERS. I TELL AN AQUAINTENCE THAT THERE IS A SET - UP ATTACHED TO THIS ONE. HE SOON LEAVES. I AWAKEN AGAIN AND NOTICE THE REVELERS ARE STILL IN ATTENDANCE AND A POLICEMAN HAS STRATEGICALLY PLACED HIMSELF WITHIN RANGE. SUDDENLY I FEEL A POKE ON MY ARM AND A WOMAN ANNOUNCING SHE WANTS TO GIVE ME MONEY. I REFUSE HER OFFER AND ASK HER TO LEAVE ME ALONE. SHE POKES AGAIN AND AGAIN ANNOUNCES, "WE WANT TO GIVE YOU MONEY". I AM NOW BOTHERED AND REPEAT MY REFUSAL AND SUGGEST SHE FIND SOMETHNG TO DO.

(ACT TWO) POLICEMAN, IN A LITTLE VOICE

JUST HAPPENED TO BE IN THE AREA POLICEMAN COMES OVER AND TELLS ME I SHOULDN'T YELL AT THE "LADY". I INFORM HIM THAT I REFUSED HER OFFER FOR MONEY AND HAD TO ASK HER AGAIN TO LEAVE ME ALONE. HE INSISTS THAT I NOT YELL AT HER BECAUSE IT IS "HARASSMENT". I INFORM HIM THAT POKING SOMEONE AND INSISTING THAT THEY TAKE MONEY WHEN THEY HAVE REFUSED IT IS HARASSMENT, AND I WOULD APPRECIATE HIM SHOWING ME IN THE MORNING WHERE THE LAW STATES YELLING IS ALSO. HE WARNS ME NOT TO "EVEN START WITH ME". TO THE CONTRARY... SINCE I SAW NO CODE EXPLAINING THE HARASSMENT SUGGESTION,I BELIEVE I SHOULD BE QUITE FINISHED WITH OFFICER KUPAHEA, AS I AM TOLD HIS NAME IS.

Hawaii governor, police chief to review law enforcement response to palace takeover
1:53 AM EDT, August 17, 2008

HONOLULU (AP) _ A group of Native Hawaiians claiming to be the state's legitimate rulers occupied the grounds of a historic palace for two hours before being arrested by state officers in the second recent takeover of its kind.

A staff member of the Iolani Palace said she was assaulted and slightly injured during the takeover Friday night, then snubbed by city police who claimed they didn't have jurisdiction. Gov. Linda Lingle said Saturday that there would be an investigation into the police response to the takeover.

I made a report to an officer by the name of Lisa Aksionczyk, on Saturday the 21st of this month, about a stolen backpack I left on the route E bus. Ms. Aksionczyk suggested at the time, that I inquire at the lost and found department of The Bus. I thought this was a good idea, so that a good samaritan would not have the unpleasant experience of someone thinking they were a thief.

The only time I could check with The Bus lost and found would be the following Monday, it is not open on weekends. I did call The Bus, on Saturday, with an emergency report because there was important ID in the backpack.

I was told by the representitve that no backpack was turned in. On Monday I went to the transit center to inquire in person, and was dissapointed to be shown backpacks that were not mine.

I returned to the police station downtown to complete the report with Ms. Aksionczyk, at 5:40 in the morning on Monday and was told by the officer on duty at the receiving area that she would be in at 6:00. I waited until 6:00 and inquired with a different officer, and was told that she would not be at the receiving area until 10:30 - 2:30. I tried again during these hours, without sucess. This has been 5days now and no report has been generated and I can not get a number to reference concerning the case. I need to no how to get the report filed and a number to reference with further correspondence.
