Right On Daily Blog

Right on Daily has written about the corruption of local gun rights groups in Riverside County. In particular is H Paul Payne of the local NRA. He and his crew launched SPAM drills against previous posts against him in an attempt to silence your intrepid blogger.

H Paul Payne controls the NRA in Southern California and is a morally reprehensible human being. (At least that is what I think of him and you will also once you are done reading this series)

H Paul Payne is an out and proud Stan Sniff sycophant. Evidence I have collected tells me that he has seen to Sniff being endorsed by the NRA consistently over the years despite 2+ year waiting periods and very narrow and subjective criteria for CCW Permits. Sniff believed that the CCW Permit issue had become so toxic for him, that months after predicting doom for the Sheriff’s office over the FY 2018 budget, he “found” $10 Million to pay some retired guys and divert others to processing CCW Permit applications. There was a backlog estimated at 10,000 applications (there is no way of knowing since the real numbers were concealed).

Even with the wait now cut to something like 4 months, there have only been about 2,000 more Permits issued. Contrast this with Orange County that has issued some 5,000 new permits in the first half of 2018 and boasts well over 12,000 in force. (Orange is roughly double Riverside in Population)

However, Sniff is still declining CCW applications for absurd and arbitrary reasons. This is why Cal Guns and 4 other groups have sued the Corrupt Sheriff over his CCW Issuance practices.

Sniff has been the subject of withering criticism over the CCW Issue for years. His CCW practices have been the subject of many confidential informants. Sniff has long been accused of selling CCW Permits (and Helicopter Rides) to donors. I’ve been told several stories about this from people with first hand knowledge. However, based on conclusions I have drawn, I am of the opinion that the officers currently processing CCW Permits that are familiar with the corruption of the process want to keep their paychecks. See our exhaustive Expose’ of years-long criticisms of Sniff CCW permits.

One such person may or may not be Frank Aguirre, a TAP Employee processing applications who was one reputed source of complaints about the abuse of process.

Desiree Payne, the soon to be ex-wife of H Paul Payne has gone on the record with your intrepid blogger. She has provided me emails, photos and testimony about several questionable actions by Payne. Payne appears to be mentally unstable, a bully and corrupt to his core. No amount of threats from his divorce attorney will disabuse me of that opinion. (Ask Mohammad how having an attorney threaten me works) It is also the opinion of this blogger based on facts I have learned that the Corrupt Sheriff may very well be providing cover for Payne’s personal corruption.

So many others have had their bad behavior covered by the Sheriff, why not cover the gatekeeper of the local gun groups?

See a recent social media screed from Sniff’s primary CCW Vendor who fails to mention his financial interest in the Sheriff’s Race. This guy is another in the filthy web that has become the Sheriff’s Office and the sick joke that the NRA has become in many parts of the country.

You can read more here about H Paul Payne’s personal conduct that led to a temporary restraining order.

Then you can read more about the web of Team Sniff and a possible cover up of Payne’s Domestic Abuse Issues.

When H Paul Payne was not busy rigging the NRA endorsement for Stan Sniff – who is now being sued over his arbitrary an dunconstitutional CCW Issuance practices – he also planted a GPS Tracker in his wife’s car and attempted to blame Chad Bianco for it. Kinda sounds like Mohammad trying to frame Heidi Chebetah for Sign Damage, or Halimah Shengur faking a hate crime or the corrupt and unhinged Kurly running to the Palm Springs City Council with hysterics.

I give CalGuns a major Hat Tip for standing up for Gun Rights and not selling out like the NRA, H Paul Payne or other vendors with financial conflicts of interest.

Sometimes, I need a while to process things. This was one of those times. I’ve been writing ad-naseum about how Contract Cities are getting hammered. I was contacted by another informant and told about another ghastly rip-off of all cities, not just contract cities.

We’ve written about the incompetence of people like Captain Coby Webb (known as Captain Tripod), Lt. Werges (worthless), Captain Kurly and others that constantly are screwing Contract cities over with massive (and mandatory overtime). In the case of Webb, one time she was short 700 hours on a contract. In the case of Werges, he screws up almost as much as Colleen Walker used to. Time and time again, I am told stories about how Contract Cities are getting ripped off.

Contract Cities are paying for a certain number of deputies during certain time periods and they are not getting that service.

The Cities know about the overtime game and there is growing discontent over the budget shell games.

Contract cities can be real budget killers. If you don’t have enough manpower to cover your contract, you run short on billable hours. Deputies working OT to cover the lack of staff and create billable hours cut into the cost recovery since they are costing 50% more to provide the service. This means that Sniff’s decimation of department morale is costing the department a ton of money in the form of needless overtime, worker’s comp claims from exhausted employees (that Sniff and the County litigate and fight), and shortages of staff to cover minimum commitments.

Contract Cities are getting lousy service and their budgets are stretched so thin that it is not feasible for them to start their own departments.

You’d think with 250 deputies leaving the department in the last year that there would have been roughly $25 Million materialize in the Budget. Sniff miraculously claims to have “found” $10 million to put toward the two-year backlog of CCW Permit applications. This means that money is being used for a one-time band-aid so non-donors to Sniff can get their CCW Permit applications rejected sooner rather than later. Is the Riverside County Board of Supervisors aware of the horrendous attrition? Are they OK with it? Have they asked where the $25 Million went?

Rumor has it that Stan Sniff is going to announce that he has “Found” another $13 Million. My supposition is that he is ripping off one-time expenses to try and put out fires in advance of this election.

There have been several decisions that Stan Sniff has made that have had instant impact on the budget – such as losing $900,000 a year from ICE once he made the decision to discontinue cooperation with them.

The brain-drain in the Riverside Sheriff’s Office is having real-world consequences. A generation of incompetent Lt’s and Captains that can’t manage budgets are upon us. It is a daily occurrence that I get photos of broken down cars and busted equipment. The failure to maintain equipment is another sub-set of the mismanagement and incompetence.

Then in my conversation with the administrator I learned that every rolling three years, every jurisdiction does a statistical analysis of all the bookings their police departments cause. (Corona PD, Banning PD, Riverside PD, etc) The next year that number is set as a baseline.

If the jurisdiction exceeds their baseline, they are charged $600 per booking.

As you know, Riverside County has one of the most severe early release problems in the State of California. This means every city (not just contract cities) are paying for bookings where an inmate gets incarcerated for periods as short as a few hours.

It gets better. Let’s say inmate A is sitting in jail. The jurisdiction that sent him there has already paid for the cost of booking him (either thru the contract with the RSO or County Funding of the Jail or the $600 excess booking fee). Inmate B shows up, do you kick inmate A out and lose the fees associated with booking him? Or do you take the fee on B and then kick him a few hours later?

AB109, known as re-alignment shifted a lot of state level scum to the counties. Because a lot of counties were not prepared, it is effectively giving a lot of scum a get out of jail free card. AB109 was supposed to reimburse counties for the cost of incarcerating scum. It pays part of the cost, not all. However, the AB109 money that Riverside County gets is significant.

However, when Stan Sniff is gouging Cities like Hemet, Murrieta and others for the $600 booking fee, he is also getting AB109 Money. Whoops. We call this double-dipping.

Worse, Riverside County is alleged to be the only jurisdiction in the State that does not hold parole violators for the 100 day period. Probation Violators get released early, too. (as in go violate your probation, nothing will happen to you) Sources in the Probation Department indicate that it is a common occurrence for the Sheriff to early release people on a 100 day probation violation hold within 48 hours.

Now, why is Stan Sniff always whining about his budget? It is clear he is ripping off a lot of jurisdictions with poor service, overtime and now double dipping booking fees.

Stan Sniff appears to be ripping off the State of California, too. There are multi-jurisdictional (or departmental) teams that have a State Grant-Funded slot for a deputy. Several teams do not have their RSO deputy on them, yet the department still gets the grant money. Does the State of California know about this?

Basically Cities that are aggressive about arresting scum are getting double screwed, they get to pay big fat booking fees only to have the scum put back on the street the next day. The State of California is getting screwed. The citizens of Riverside County are getting screwed.

With all this money, it is an absolute outrage that Sniff has threatened to leave the new Indio Jail 80% empty. The new Indio Jail (which is a fraction of what it should have been thanks to the late John Benoit and Stan Sniff going along with him) is supposed to be 1690 beds. It is replacing a 353 bed antiquated jail.

Given all of these machinations, Stan Sniff is without an excuse for why he can not staff the new jail. The jurisdictions that are getting hammered by Stan Sniff should revolt and demand the board of supervisors address this issue post-haste. Meantime, Supervisor Kevin Jeffries needs to pull his endorsement of Stan Sniff as this is indefensible.

Chad Bianco needs to get a forensic audit of every nook and cranny of the Sheriff’s Department done. It is clear why Stan Sniff fought KPMG tooth and nail, there are unethical shell games, budget tricks and phantom deputies everywhere. Any level of cooperation and KPMG would have found it.

To be continued…

Sniff complains about unions spending big against him, but fails to acknowledge his history of taking union money.

He’s against employees contributing to campaigns, unless it’s to him.

Over the years, Sniff has happily accepted nearly $200,000 in union contributions.

Specifically, Sniff has taken over $140,000 from the Riverside Sheriffs’ Association.  Snif has also boasted in past campaigns that the RSA (his employees) have endorsed and supported him.

See for yourself the $30,000 check Sniff took. (He is on Camera lying, stating he only took $20K total from the RSA. He got $30K in one check)

See for yourself the report that states Sniff’s $94K Haul from the RSA in a single election.

Now, he complains about union money being spent against him.

Here are the total contributions Sniff has taken from unions.

Intl Brotherhood of Electrical Workers                        $200

Riverside Firefighters Legislative Action Group                   $250

Palm Springs Police Officers Association                            $500

Plumbers & Pipefitters Union                                      $1,000

CA Correctional Peace Officers Assn                         $1,000

Service Employees Intl Union                                     $2,500

Riverside Police Officers Association                         $4,400

Southwest Regional Carpenters Union                      $11,000

Laborers Intl Union North America                             $31,500

Riverside Sheriffs’ Association                                    $140,650

TOTAL                                                                         $193,000

When the Sheriff is a proven liar, who are the honest people in Law Enforcement? That’s right, the 90% of the rank and file that want Chad Bianco and are pouring their money, time and talent in to him.
