Corruption is now rampant in the government as its self-serving “employees” shake down citizens to enrich themselves.

“And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?... The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin’s thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If...if...We didn’t love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation.... We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.”
— Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

Is this an area controlled by liberals, by chance?

These lawyers need to dangle from a lamp-post or a tree limb.
Right next to the politicians that enable them

The authorities do NOT like independent types, seeing them as a threat.

And there is a lot of speculation that the Desert Bullying has something to do with a plan for a L.A. - L.V. $hinkansen (bullet train) line, or vacuum tube, or whatever.

“The bill went from $26,000 to $31,000.”

The Founders killed thousands of Brits and Tories for less. Get to it, California patriots, and take your state back from the filthy fascists.

Hint: American leftists can’t and won’t fight when confronted by armed citizens.

There’s absolutely no way this is constitutional. This is obviously an outgrowth of the law that allows lawfirms bringing civil lawsuits to recoup the costs of the court case from the loser - but that was never intended to apply to governments themselves!

It’s one thing for the city to hire private firms to do prosecutions on behalf of a strapped city government. It’s entirely another for the convicted to have to pay the court fees of the government bringing the prosecutions.

So the government charges the taxpayer to write the laws, then hires a lawyer to go after the taxpayer when he breaks those laws and then writes a law to have the taxpayer pay for the court costs when the taxpayer loses.

It’s total madness.

From the Declaration of Independence:

"Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience has shown that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed.

"But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security."

In the Matanuska Susitna Borough not only do I not need a permit to expand my living room, I don’t even need a permit to build an entire house. California has just gone bat feces crazy.

Code enforcement is a department in the county/city/municipality government. A private firm can inspect and make reports as to compliance or non-compliance but has no enforcement authority. The only fees a private firm can request is from the said government entity, it cannot bill the individual being inspected unless it is written in the local building codes.

I was going to suggest that the victims file ethics complaints with the California Bar. But I looked at the California rules of professional conduct for lawyers and they are useless.

California doesn't even have a rule forbidding lawyer dishonesty.

At least the ABA Model Rules say:

It is professional misconduct for a lawyer to:

(c) engage in conduct involving dishonesty, fraud, deceit or misrepresentation;

(d) engage in conduct that is prejudicial to the administration of justice;

California rules: if you make money, it's all good.
