Gov.Brown Kills DOJ Drug Enforcement .... on www.fulldisclosure.net

Full Disclosure interviewed Cary Cavaleri, Board Member of the Assn. of Special Agents, Calif. Department of Justice regarding the impending demise of the DOJ's Narcotic and investigations and enforcement and Investigation bureaus. Political forces favoring the legalization of drugs in California could be cheered by Governor Jerry Brown's approved budget that was negotiated in almost secret, and resulted in the defunding of the DOJ's Bureau of Narcotic Enforcement (BNE) and Bureau of Intelligence and Investigations (BII). This action threatens many on-going prosecutions and investigation state wide.

ATTORNEY GENERAL'S AUTHORITY CHALLENGED
Cavaleri told Full Disclosure that Governor Brown's approved budget cuts, were described as "reallocating" funding, and in fact, the action has cut the in half the enforcement authority of the California Attorney General Kamala Harris. Cavaleri told Full Disclosure 200 of the 400 DOJ investigators are being notified they will lose their jobs if the budget cuts stand.

SPECIAL AGENTS FILE SUIT
In the absence of opposition from the Attorney General the Association of Special Agents for the California Department of Justice has stepped in to fight what may be an illegal action on the part of the Brown administration. Naming both Governor Brown and the Director of Department of Finance, Ana, J. Matosantos, the Assn. of Special Agents filed a Writ of Mandate in Sacramento Superior Court, Case No. 34-2011-80001009 on November 23, 2011, asking for Declaratory and Injunctive Relief.

POLITICS AND BUDGET CUTS
According to the association's Sacramento based attorney David P. Mastagni he expects to the case to involve extensive discovery, with requests for admissions and video depositions. Presumably the Special Agents are looking to determine who and how the decision to gut the DOJ budget was influenced. When asked why the Governor would want to cut the Attorney General's enforcement staff in half, Cavaleri speculated the Brown administration may be harboring resentment for the Special Agents Association endorsement of Meg Whitman for Governor.

Both the Bureau of Narcotics Enforcement and Bureau of Intelligence and Investigations are currently sending out "layoff" notices to over half of the 400 investigators according to Cavaleri. who says the action will jeopardize current and on-going investigations, prosecutions and local "task forces". He says that the DOJ co-ordinates local and regional task forces, providing scarce resources to local law enforcement agencies.

@colddayrain Calif.'s nothing compared to Louisiana & Michigan in corruption so, count your blessings! Why so many people of ALL skin colors and economic positions suffered so horribly when desperately needing help in the Katrina Aftermath was because of how Hideously Corrupt Louisiana's Government Officials are. Especially their Disgusting Excuse for Law Enforcement. Anyway, Voter Fraud across this country is nearly non-existent according to many Third Party Neutral Observers!

@tbirdky They're not talking about them going after "Harmless Potheads & Med Marijuana" Folk...So no this isn't any good. We're talking about something that will let the "Hard Drug Folks" like the Cocaine, Heroin, & Meth Dealers off the hook. As well, as the hideously evil Mafioso Families that direct their moves from afar........Indeed the Mafia Families and their Politician Friends from both Democrat & Republican Parties are the ones who oppose Cannabis becoming the same as alcohol.

I still think Jerry wasn't legally voted in as Governor. When it comes to fraud, California is the poster child for it. Election fraud in this state is not only possible, it's happened already happened many times.

Ironically drug dealers have better credit scores than the average working consumer.When the government starts kidnapping people,they can make up for the cuts by funding local law enforcement to find missing persons.When TSA can feel you up and the government can take your clothes and throw you into a cage.Then you are naked and only pretend to wear clothes in your denial of it.They can run you in circles and abuse you for decades.Its their way.People who like that kind of treatment are sheeple.
