Stockton Hair Salon Raided by Consumer Agency Cops
California Globe ^ | December 27, 2020 | Katy Grimes

Posted on 12/28/2020 6:30:03 AM PST by artichokegrower

A Stockton hair salon was raided last week by armed, body armor-wearing cops from the Department of Consumer Affairs, for being open and ignoring Governor Gavin Newsom’s statewide small business shutdown.

Did anyone know the California Department of Consumer Affairs has its own armed police force?

Maybe no guns, but the lady officer on the left is wearing not one, but two badges. So I guess you don’t need a gun if you can intimidate the citizenry with multiple police insignia.

The Mexican police, of course, think differently.

If only a handful of these "non-essential" businesses (as determined solely by a politician or unelected bureaucrat) open in a community, the state stassi can cherry-pick enforcement and really look "tough".

However, if 10,000 of these "non-essential" businesses (as determined solely by a politician or unelected bureaucrat) throw open their doors, well, it becomes a real challenge for the state stassi and its governor's politburo to flex their self-anointed vast new powers.

If I’m seeing that pic right, the one on the left; I looks like her arm just below the elbow, is resting on her HG grip.

Well I went grocery shopping the other day where I was stopped, in the store, by Officers from the Health Dept. They just wanted to see I was properly masked.

As I left the store armed Officers from the Dept. of Agriculture stopped me to see if my Oranges were properly bagged.

Heading toward my car I stopped to help an elderly lady load her groceries into her Mini-van but I was then stopped by agents from the Dept. of Veterans Affairs, it turns out the elderly woman was a veteran and they wanted to see if I was having an, affair, with her.

While driving home I was stopped by officers from the Dept. of Transportation. They searched my car apparently looking for possible election ballots for Biden.

I made it home pulling into my driveway when officers from the Dept. of Labor approached. They said I couldn’t unload my car till I employed the proper diverse persons to assist me.

I started the paperwork for hiring under the supervision of the Dept. of Education officers.

The S.W.A.T. team from the Dept. of Rural Development said they would notify me in 2 to 3 business days as to when I could unload my car.

Agents from the Dept. of Energy escorted me into my home and checked my light bulbs for the proper electric output.

All in all I had a proper and safe day.

Yeah. I’ve sidled up behind cops before, just to check their situational awareness. One guy was pressing his elbow on the grip when I got really close.

I thought the democrats want to send social workers instead of armed police to situations, I guess that only applies to violent criminals.

Under their web page:

https://www.dca.ca.gov/

“DCA is a regulator – DCA investigates consumer complaints on issues under its jurisdiction. If violations are found, license holders can face discipline that includes probation, suspension or revocation of a license, fines and citations, letters of reprimand, or cease and desist orders.”

None of these require the use of police unless it is determined there may be a violent reaction. (In a hair salon?)

They cannot however go in to “raid” a privately owned facility with commissioned police officers. And security people cannot identify themselves as police.

This was staged. If you look at the “officer” on the left, her shoes could be considered a police style shoe. The officer on the right is wearing what could be considered a very comfortable walking shoe which does not match the shoe worn by the other representative. I guess the California manuals are getting a little more liberal.

There are two major rules about the uniform used by law enforcement and military concerning shoes: One, they be consistent with the manual, and two, they cannot be purchased at unofficial sources.

Please, let’s keep the puns to a minimum here. After all, this was a hair-raising incident. And the police are still combing the store for clues.

My question is are they “SWORN” to serve? I read last year that most of the govt. dept. have their own police force, but none are sworn to serve. Just rent-a-cops.

The government has the power to kill you. If you resist, they can forcibly extract you from a place that you own. If you continue to resist, they can make you dead. And there is no recourse.
