Perhaps the hispanic-only surnames of the current list of wanted murder and rape suspects in SB County has something to do with this sheriff's reluctance to accept the Matricular ID's!

More background on Sheriff Penrod:

Excerpt from Sierra Times response to AP article on Sheriff's who are "anti-government"

. . . California ranchers in San Bernardino County, chafing at cattle grazing restrictions imposed to 'protect' the threatened desert tortoise, were supported recently by Sheriff Gary Penrod who canceled an agreement that gave Bureau of Land Management officers authority to enforce state laws on federal land.

How dare that Sheriff? After a federal judge ruled in the ranchers favor, the BLM tried to confiscate cattle anyway. This must mean that a Sheriff exercising his authority within his own jurisdiction is antigovernment as well.

Nice going, Sheriff Penrod, and nice role modeling for other Sheriffs as well.

If George Bush can take on the Hitler-like Saddam Hussein, then surely he can take on the pacifist Vicente Fox.

Wouldn't it be nice if all sheriffs would follow suit and uphold our laws?

I just emailed the sheriff and thanked him. It's nice to know not EVERYONE in California has gone totally insane!

Didn't bother the Sheriff in LA County. He probably sees it a job security.

Possession of one of those laughable pieces of crap issued by the despicable Mexican government should be cause for immediate arrest and prompt removal from the country, IMO. Any LEO who endorses the funky Mexican ID is a traitor, or at least has a screw loose. Mexico is 1,000 times worse than Iraq was when Saddam was running, and Vicente's ditch should have been dealt with first.

The fact that Washington has refused to ban acceptance of IDs issued by vile Mexico should be remembered in November, 2004. Not outlawing those things puts us all in danger.

Fax Sheriff Penrod a thank you note for refusing to accept 'Pancho Villa' ID cards at (909) 387-3688.

I want to thank you also for putting me on your ping list. This is an issue of great concern to me.

My husband and I moved to rural Alaska from Houston, TX. It was becoming more and more like a third-world country there, with all the same problems being experienced in California and Arizona.
