The Berkeley Police raid occurred 29 Sept 89. Two houses, one in Berkeley and one in northern Oakland, were raided within an hour of each other. I was one of the 12 people held without bail or a phone call for 4 days, then released on my own recognizance at my bail hearing. The day after the Loma Prieta earthquake, there was only *one* courtroom open in all of Alameda county, and I was there to hear the bogus charges against me (possession of an infernal device, to wit; a bomb) dismissed. That same day Jim Bakker got 47 years for the frauds he perpetrated in Jesus' name. Synchronicity strikes every 33.3 seconds. :-) > At least one year of > legal action followed in dealing with whatever dipsy charges came out of > the event All charges against all people arrested that night were dismissed, with the exception of one that was "deferred", whatever that means. > (no illicit drugs were found, Not even in anyone's urine. One of the public defenders expressed surprise that they could get any 10 people in Berkeley together with no drugs in them. Well, the Bekeley Police found them. >... though I seem to recall one of > the idiots among the policemen involved was impressed by a diabetic's > insulin "works" as evidence of criminal activity) Actually, no I.V. was found or brought as evidence. The officer leading the raid claimed that his telephoned report was misunderstood when he said "I.D." The most laughable confiscated item in their report was "a photo of an infant with a black cross across its chest": those were the restraining straps of the car seat the child was sitting in. >... plus suing the > responsible authorities.

I suspect she got popped by the Berkeley Police, and tried to "shake a change" by pointing all her fingers at us. > and is one of several reasons I ask folks at Blake to > respect my wishes in keeping the drug policy rigorously at formal and > informal gatherings.
