The charges stem from a March 19 traffic stop near the intersection of County Roads 160 and 77, where a deputy observed a driver failing to yield from a stop sign and then execute a U-turn in the middle of County Road 77, according to Chief Deputy Richard Haun. Approached by a deputy, Lanning opened the vehicle’s glove box to retrieve the registration, at which time the officer observed a .45-caliber in the compartment, said Haun.

I observed a green Honda Accord traveling west on Washington Boulevard directly past our patrol unit. I saw the vehicle did not have a front license plate in violation of CVC 5200(a)-No front license plate. The vehicle continued westbound on Washington Boulevard and pulled into the northwest parking lot of the Kings Villages apartment complex. I made a U-turn, activated my overhead lights/siren and conducted a traffic stop on the vehicle in the northwest parking lot (1141 N. Fair Oaks Avenue). As we pulled in behind the vehicle, the driver (later identified as Suspect Davian Thomas) exited the above vehicle (California license plate #4GCN238).

The actual roadway held no other drivers at this time during the day. Stanko had been driving his new 1996 Chevrolet Camaro, with brakes, tires, and a steering wheel that were all in perfect operating conditions.

Thomas was then detained until further investigation. Thomas name was ran through dispatch and they advised that he had a felony warrant for DUI-Felony.

In the Hit and Run case, there were scene photos taken of Oropeza-Quiroz. Detective Brown printed one of these photos to provide to Hicks for possible identification of “Ricky.” We again met with Hicks in the jail and showed him the photo of Oropeza-Quiroz. Hicks immediately recognized “Ricky” in the photo and said, “That’s him.” I also explained to Hicks that we were still looking at his phone and asked if I had the consent to look at his contact list to find Ricky’s phone number.

The deputy also noticed the license plates from California, what he considered a drug source state. Among other observations the officer concluded that their travel plans of working in construction did not tie with the clothing and lack of tools in the vehicle. The deputy asked for identifying documents which he verified. He returned the paperwork and thanked them for their time dismissing Guerrero and Torres. As the deputy walked he turned around and asked Guerrero several new questions.

Buehler, J. W. (2017). Racial/ethnic disparities in the use of lethal force by US police, 2010-2014. American Journal of Public Health, 107 (2), 295-297. In Buehler’s article, he attempts to disprove a study that found no racial disparities in killings that law enforcement were responsible for.

On August 3rd, 2015, at or about 1817 hours, I was dispatched to 1700 North Federal Highway, Hollywood Florida, in reference to assisting Officer Baluja (CCN 3432) to a suspicious incident. Upon arrival both officers made contact with Loukeesha Mckenzie, herein after reffered to as the arrestee. The arrestee believed that her 2 children were hit by a white vehicle which was located in the back alley of the Kenwood Lodge (above location). While conversing with the arrestee, she then changed her story stating that she believed that her children were actually in the back of box truck. I observed Officer Baluja check for the arresstees children; which yielded negative results.

Throughout history, disputes and tensions between law enforcement officials and communities of minorities have endured hostility and violence between each other. Racial profiling has become a “hot topic” for researchers as well as for politicians and by now it is likely that most citizens are at least aware of the common accusations of racial bias pitted against law enforcement (Cochran & Warren, 2013). Communities of color are being discriminated against and racially profiled by white police officers for any suspicion of criminal activities. It has been widely assumed by policy makers and citizens alike that allegations of racial profiling are mostly associated with the policing practices of white officers and their treatment of racial and ethnic minorities (Cochran & Warren, 2013). Also, individuals of minority descent will certainly recognize that they are being racially profiled during a stop that is being conducted by a white police officer.
