The two subjects were not located.

This morning (01/13/12) at approximately 8:30 AM, a resident of Lake Hughes called Palmdale Station and advised that two juveniles wearing probation camp jumpsuits were contacting residents and asking to use the phone. Palmdale Deputies responded to the area and again coordinated a search effort with personnel from the Los Angeles County Probation Department.

While conducting the search, a second call was received at Palmdale Station from a resident, indicating an updated location of the two offenders, behind a local business near the 17500 Block of Elizabeth Lake Rd, in the Lake Hughes area. Deputies contained the location and both offenders were taken into custody by Probation and Sheriff’s Department personnel without incident.

DUI checkpoint this Friday in Palmdale. Drive Sober, Choose Your Ride Home From Bail Bondsman In Palmdale

The Palmdale Sheriff’s Station Traffic Unit will be conducting a DUI Checkpoint on Friday, January 13, 2012 at an undisclosed location within the city limits between the hours of 6:00 p.m. and 2:00 a.m.

DUI checkpoints are a proven enforcement tool effective in reducing the number of persons killed and injured in alcohol involved crashes. Research shows that crashes involving alcohol drop by an average of 20 percent when well-publicized checkpoints are conducted often enough.

Officers will be contacting drivers passing through the checkpoint for signs of alcohol and/or drug impairment. Officers will also check for proper licensing and will strive to delay motorists only momentarily. Drivers caught driving impaired can expect jail, license suspension, and insurance increases, as well as fines, fees, DUI classes, other expenses that can exceed $10,000.

“Over the course of the past three years, DUI collisions have claimed 7 lives and resulted in 88 injury crashes harming 121 of our friends and neighbors,” said Sgt M. Johnston.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), checkpoints have provided the most effective documented results of any of the DUI enforcement strategies, while also yielding considerable cost savings of $6 for every $1 spent. Checkpoints are placed in locations that have the greatest opportunity for achieving drunk and drugged driving deterrence and provide the greatest safety for officers and the public.

“Deaths from drunk and drug-impaired driving are going down in California,” said Christopher J. Murphy, Director of the California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS). “But that still means that hundreds of our friends, family and co-workers are killed each year, along with tens of thousands who are seriously injured. We must all continue to work together to bring an end to these tragedies. If you see a Drunk Driver – Call 9-1-1.”

Funding for this checkpoint is provided to the City of Palmdale by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, targeting those who still don’t heed the message to designate a sober driver.

The Program is funded by the California Office of Traffic Safety who reminds everyone to please – Report Drunk Drivers – Call 9-1-1!

Woman threatens bus passengers, force was used, taken to mental observation From Bail Bondsman In Lakewood

On Monday, January 9, 2012, at approximately 5:19 PM, Lakewood Sheriff’s Station deputies received a call of a disturbance at a bus stop located at Artesia Boulevard and Lakewood Boulevard in the city of Bellflower.

The called stated a “Female White, 40 years old, wearing a white sweatshirt”, was causing a disturbance at the bus stop and was threatening awaiting passengers with violence. The caller’s comments included:

“…She is trying to pick a fight on anybody. She almost hit an old man…she seems like she got out of prison… I’ll beat up all you guys…there‘s some ladies here also and we, we’re trying to stay away from her.. and she is trying to pick a fight with anybody...She’s on the bus with us, oh my God…”

The caller said the disturbing party then boarded MTA Bus #266, along with other citizens and continued northbound on Lakewood Boulevard. The caller was also on the bus.

Lakewood Sheriff’s Station deputies were dispatched to the call and stopped the bus northbound on Lakewood Boulevard at Alondra Boulevard in Bellflower.

Deputies boarded the bus and made contact with the disturbing party, a 41-year old woman. The deputies immediately recognized her as an individual who had a history of assaulting deputies and had a propensity for violence.

Deputies said they requested the woman to exit the bus, but she refused, began shouting profanities at them, and threatened to assault them. The deputies stated that a use of force was necessary because she was aggressive. One deputy used an elbow strike that caused her to fall on a nearby seat. Deputies were able to gain control of her and handcuffed her without further incident.

She was transported to an undisclosed hospital, where she was examined by medical professionals. Medical professionals said they did not see any visible sign of injury as a result of the use of force.

She continued to display a combative behavior toward medical staff. She was admitted to the hospital for a 72-hour mental observation hold, under the authority of 5150 of the California State Welfare and Institutions Code. She was not arrested.

She has four prior convictions for assaulting peace officers.
Los Angeles County Sheriff Lee Baca said he was disturbed by the incident. He confirmed it was his understanding the woman was homeless and had a history of mental problems. "She's noted for having verbal conflicts with people in the community, and she's been noted also to get in verbal conflicts with law enforcement," said Sheriff Baca. "And she's assaulted on several occasions law enforcement officers."

"I think I have an obligation to understand what this lady's plight is. And I have a greater obligation to make sure she's just not spending all this time in jail and then when she gets out she's back on the street," Sheriff Baca said.

The use of force and manner in which this incident was handled is under investigation to determine the full facts of what occurred. The investigation will include oversight by the Office of Independent Review.

A tape of the original 9-1-1 call was released to the news media.

Max term for teacher’s aide convicted of sexual assaults of students with disabilities From Bail Bondsman In Los Angeles

A Los Angeles Superior Court judge Thursday imposed the maximum possible sentence on a former high school teacher’s aide convicted of sexually abusing two special education students, the District Attorney’s Office announced.

Deputy District Attorney Rachel Moser Greene of the Sex Crimes Division said 45-year-old Oscar Enrique Santos of La Puente was sentenced to 18 years in state prison. Judge Sam Ohta indicated the prison term may not be served in county jail.

Jurors convicted Santos on Nov. 10, 2011, of 21 felony counts including oral copulation of an incompetent person, oral copulation of a person under 18 and sexual battery by restraint.

The charges involve two girls with developmental disabilities – one of whom is confined to a wheelchair – who were assaulted between 2005 and 2007 when Santos was a teacher’s aide at Garfield High School in East Los Angeles.

At the time, the defendant was responsible for assisting a male student who is gravely disabled. The assaults took place on campus when the girls, then ages 16 and 17, were between classes.

Santos attacked the young women on multiple occasions in an on-campus elevator, keeping the elevator moving up and down between floors while he carried out the assaults, the prosecutor said.

Evidence presented at trial to establish Santos’ pattern of conduct revealed that the defendant had a history of similar complaints as testified to by a third, uncharged victim who Santos unsuccessfully attempted to lure into the elevator.

The case was investigated by the Special Victims Bureau of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department.

LEGAL Bail Percentage rate in California

We at All American Bail Bonds have been conducting bail for over ten years and we always seem to get the same questions, due to misconceptions regarding our industry.

the common misconception is that we the bail bondsman have the ability to negotiate below the legal percentage rate set by law, the set rate that all bail bondman are required to charge. The legal percentage in California is no more than 10% but no less than 8% under certain restrictions.

Below are some common questions are client services receive and the appropriate answers.

Q. I called another company who said they charge 3%, why are you charging more?

A. What that company is doing is illegal, it's better known as bait and switch. What their trying to do is get you in the front door and than they drop on you your remaining balance of 7% more. Not cool, but we get this complaint often.

Q. Why can't you charge what ever you want?

A. We as bail bondsman are licensed bail agents AKA Insurance agents licensed through the department of insurance. The department of insurance dictates by law the legal limits of a bond, bail or other, may cost. If a company charges less than the legal limits they are not only breaking the law but also performing in a matter in which you should question their integrity.

Q. What is the Zero Down Bail Program and how much interest do you charge.

A. The Zero Down (No money down programs) are normally based on the guarantee given through the indemnitor. What this means is basically we look at the financial stability, of the indemnitor, such as job history, credit, or even collateral.

As far as interest is concerned, it is illegal for a bail bonding company to charge more than the set rate, such as interest. We as bail bondsman are not a finance company.
Please Note: A Bail Bonding Service can legally charge additional fees such as "agent fees" for travel, notary, or any additional service in addition to their jobs as bail agents.
Personal Note: The additional fees are highly Negotiable, due to the nature of our competitiveness. If you ask, many of these fees may be waived.

Q. What is the lowest legal rate for a Bail Bond?

A. As per Proposition 103 the lowest legal rate that any one Bail Bonding company can charge is 8%, anything less is ILLEGAL.
Please review the California Department of Insurances web site for  their definition.

Q. What if I don't pay, What will happen?

A. The department of insurance has ruled that bail bonding company's can no longer revoke bond when any portion of the bail bond has been paid unless full refund has been given. In other words, non pay of a bail bond turns into a civil matter and if the company revokes the bail bond than the client may be entitled to full return of bail premium.

Please Note: This is a very tricky situation, We at All American Bail Bonds Corporate have a strict policy against the revocation of a bail bond for non pay, but I have had other people tell us that it happened to their loved ones. The bail bonding company isn't going to say they revoked the bail bond for non pay, their going to make up some of other excuse as to why they performed in the manner they did. If you find yourself in the position of a revoked bond, with no just cause, than you have the right to have the bondsman come to the court and explain his or her actions. Ask your attorney for more information on how to get the bail agent into court.

If you find yourself in a position that you require advice from a bail bondsman please give us a call. You can reach one of our Professional, Licensed Bail Agents 24 hours a day at 866-743-8688.

TIPS ON CHOOSING A BAIL BOND COMPANY

No matter where you live if that state has private bail bonding company's, than I can assure you there are several.
We at All American Bail Bonds have been working in the bail industry for over a decade and in fact pushing 2 decades. We have seen so many company's come and go it 's actually quite humorous. These individuals get into the industry because it is a lucrative industry to work in; people can make a small fortune or they can lose big.
Because our industry is a cash business you will find not one not two but several shady organizations or individuals looking to make that Dollar.

God forbid, you ever find yourself in need of a bail bondsman but if you do this article is for you!

How to locate a credible bail bondsman? In todays digital age it seems like everyone looks to the internet or more specifically Google, MSN, or Yahoo. Now a days you can simply go to the search engine and simply put the key words "Bail Bonds" and you'll get a plethora of choices most of which will have a fancy website with bogus reviews and address locations that don't even exists.

Another option to find a credible bail bonding company is the phone book, but really who still uses the phone book for anything now a days?, believe it or not the phone book is a great place to find a credible company. The reason we have found that phone book still work is that the company's who have been in business the longest, which means they probably do the best business, still will advertise in the paper media knowing they can reach the largest audience in addition to the world wide web.

The following can be used for researching company's either online or in a phone book, most of the following more relates to searching online.

1. When researching a company always check that the company has a valid insurance license in the state that you require their services. In California you want to go to the California department of Insurance, which can be located at  http://insurance.ca.gov/license-status/. Simply put in the name or license of the agent your checking and if there is in the system you'll get a hit. If you do get a valid hit check to make sure that the company has no negative history and if they do than you may want look into another company.
2. Check on the company's address! This is a big problem with bonding company's advertising here in Los Angeles. Any city you type in you get a list of offices for companies who claim to operate in that city, but in fact there mostly bogus. Try it, go to Google and type in Palmdale Ca Bail Bonds (where All American Bail Bonds corporate office is located). Now take any company and go to the department of insurances web site and enter the company's license number, If their legitimate than they should have a license number listed on their website.
3. Once you have found a company that you wish to use call them and begin to the ask the questions. Don't be afraid to ask the company that your calling all the questions you like, we work for you and if you don't feel comfortable with that company than it's time to call someone else.
4. Once you have found the company you want use and you have agreed upon the payments and percentage rate than go to their local office and begin the paperwork. Here in California all the paperwork that you do has been approved by the Department of Insurance and much of it might feel unnecessary because of its redundancy but that's for your protection. We want to make sure that you have a complete understanding of what your signing. We never want to hear clients say that they didn't know what to expect or didn't understand.                                                                                                                                        Side Note: What is the legal percentage and how is it that some company offer less?  Will be answered in the next article.
5. Once the paperwork is completed, the agent has done everything required by law and its surety, the agent will post the bond on the cleared inmate and await their release for further paperwork.

Now hopefully everything has gone the way its suppose to, you'll loved one should be out of jail with a future court date and everyone is happy. But what do you do if the bail agent doesn't perform to your expectations.

If you find yourself in a position where your unhappy with bail agent performance, whether it be that the agent mislead you or possibly revoked a bond without just cause, than you need to contact the Department of insurance in that state and lodge a formal complaint. I can tell you here in California we never want to here  a complaint from the Department and the mear threat alone maybe enough to get you the desired result.

If you find yourself in position that you require advice regarding a bad bail experience, we would love to help. Feel free to call one of our licensed professional bail agents at 866-743-8688.

During the early morning hours of Friday, December 30, 2011, a series of 17 car/structure fires developed; five in West Hollywood and 12 in Hollywood. Following this series of fires a Joint Arson Task Force comprised of the Los Angeles City Fire Department, Los Angeles Police Department, the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, the County of Los Angeles Fire Department, the District Attorney’s Office, and the Federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives was assembled.

In the early evening hours of Friday, December 30, 2011, and through the early morning hours of Saturday, December 31, 2011, 16 additional vehicle/structure fires occurred; four in Hollywood, 11 in North Hollywood, and one in Sunland. An additional car fire occurred in the City of Burbank.

In-Car High-Tech Helps Deputies Arrest Santa Clarita Burglars From Bail Bondsman In Santa Clarita

LASD High-tech Equipment Coupled with Swift Police Work by Santa Clarita Station Deputies Results in Two Suspects Taken Into Custody.

Two suspects were allegedly committing felonies while most residents of Santa Clarita were sleeping. A quick response by Santa Clarita Station deputies, guided by technology recently installed in LASD patrol cars, made sure that the suspects would ruin no one else’s holiday season.

Friday morning, December 23, the two suspects allegedly started their crime spree by smashing a car’s window and stealing items from inside it near McBean Parkway and Copperhill Drive in Saugus. Later the same morning, the suspects attempted to burglarize another car near Garzota Drive and Seco Canyon Road, Saugus.

At about 6:30AM, Friday, a witness saw the two suspects smash the car’s window and began shouting at them. The suspects left the area in a blue Silverado pickup truck but not before the witness obtained a partial license plate number of the suspect's truck.

Santa Clarita deputies swarmed the area looking for the suspects.

Meanwhile, Deputy Steve Shirley assigned as an instructor with the Sheriff's Communications and Fleet Management Bureau was on his way to court and listening to the sheriff's radio broadcast.

Deputy Shirley's car was equipped with the new Sheriff's Mobile Digital Computer System (MDCS), so he was able to remotely access his desktop computer at work. He linked to a multi-jurisdictional database, and using several possible license plates, determined the full license plate of the suspect's truck.

He accessed the Automatic License Plate Recognition (ALPR) database and was able to see photos of the truck that were made when it had passed through areas ranging from East Los Angeles to Santa Clarita.

In looking at the photos on the screen of his in-car computer from ten miles away, he provided a detailed description over the radio of the suspect's vehicle to deputies who were searching, including the full license plate and that it had an extended cab with chrome rims, and even described the chrome-tipped, dual-exhaust pipes.

The suspects were quickly observed and detained by deputies near Via Princessa and Golden Triangle Road, Canyon Country, while they were allegedly stealing construction materials and equipment from a nearby construction yard.

Suspects Brian Martinez, 19 years of age, and Daniel Sandridi, 28 years of age, both from Sylmar, were transported to Santa Clarita Sheriff's Station, Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department. They are being held on charges of Burglary and Receiving Stolen Property.

Additional victims, identified through investigation of the stolen property, have been contacted by Santa Clarita Sheriff's deputies.

Deputies at the scene of the arrrest said they had never seen a truck so loaded down with stolen property.

"So far, the new MDC's are installed in radio cars in Industry, Palmdale and Lancaster Sheriff's Station, said Captain Scott Edson, Sheriff's Communications and Fleet Management Bureau. "We install and deploy more MDC's every day and are providing training for all deputies on how to use this system. This incident demonstrates how effective a deputy can be when the right technology is in the right hands at the right time."

Santa Clarita 19-Year Old Charged With 29 Sex Crimes Against 14 Teen Girls. Possible Additional Victims From Bail Bondsman In Santa Clarita

In early December, 2011, a female minor reported being sexually assaulted by 19-year old Suspect Michael Downs earlier in the year in the Santa Clarita Valley.

With this information, detectives with the Special Victims Bureau, Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, began an investigation.

The investigation resulted in the identification of an additional 13 female teenage victims, between the ages of 12 and 16 years old. The 13 additional victims were also allegedly sexually assaulted by Suspect Downs.

Detectives learned that Suspect Downs met the victims at social events, public places and on Facebook. The assaults occurred throughout the year 2011 at various locations throughout the Santa Clarita Valley.

The suspect met many of the victims on the social networking site Facebook. His alleged approach was befriending his victims on Facebook. He did so by claiming he was 16-years old and gaining their confidence in part by giving the names of other teen girls and saying he was friends with them. He would ultimately convince them to meet with him and then allegedly had sex with them.

"For over a week we have found new victims every day as we investigate these crimes," said Lieutenant Carlos Marquez, Sheriff's Special Victims Bureau. "We are asking the public to have some difficult discussions with their kids and contact us if there are more victims."

Sheriff's Special Victims Bureau investigators presented the facts of this case to the Office of the Los Angeles County District Attorney, which filed 29 felony counts of sexual assault by the suspect against 14 different girls.

As a result of the investigation, sheriff's detectives arrested Suspect Downs on December 15, 2011. He was booked at Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station for the charges of felony committing Lewd Acts With A Child and Unlawful Sexual Intercourse, and is being held in lieu of bail of $1.8 million.

Santa Clarita Patrol Deputy Discovers Substantial Illegal Marijuana Grow in Residential Neighborhood From Bail Bondsman In Santa Clarita

A patrol deputy checking an apparent vacant house in the 20400 block of Delight Street, Canyon Country, discovered a substantial illegal indoor residential marijuana grow earlier this week. While outside the house the deputy smelled the strong odor of marijuana coming from inside the house. The deputy also heard a number of air conditioning units running, despite the fact it was cold outside. The deputy also noticed the windows all around the home appeared to be covered or blacked out.

Los Angeles County Sheriff Department's Headquarters Narcotics Bureau, assigned to the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff's Station area, joined Santa Clarita Deputies from the Juvenile Intervention Team (J-Team) and deputies from the Crime Prevention Unit to serve a search warrant at the location just after 12:00 p.m. yesterday. Once inside, deputies found the entire house had been converted into a sophisticated and substantial Hydroponics marijuana cultivation operation. Four rooms were equipped with irrigation systems, fans and ventilation systems, elaborate lighting systems running throughout the day and night, and altered electrical systems which presented a substantial fire hazard.

Despite the fact the house was only estimated to be about 1,300 square feet, the perpetrators had installed multiple air conditioning and heating systems including one 7 ton air conditioning unit designed for a 10,000 square foot structure. Based on previous cases of this type, deputies estimate that the power bill alone for this grow would have been thousands of dollars each month. Deputies also discovered an apparent cultivation schedule where several different individuals had logged down visiting the house, tending to and cultivating the plants, and indicating on the list how much pay they were due to receive.

Deputies spent hours at the location dismantling the systems and confiscating the illegal marijuana plants. Deputies estimate the original cost of the cultivation equipment they recovered to be in excess of $75,000. More than 200 plants, estimated at 200-300 pounds in total weight, were taken as evidence. Narcotics experts estimate the street value of the marijuana to be between $1,500 to $5,000 per pound. The Southern California Gas Company and Southern California Edison officials responded to the location to address substantial utility concerns.
