Moreno Valley Mayor Richard Stewart tells a citizen to quit calling police over violations of Moreno Valley‘s laws and ordinances.
Moreno Valley: Moreno Valley Mayor Richard Stewart tells a citizen to quit calling police over violations of Moreno Valley‘s laws and ordinances. The City of Moreno Valley has developed laws which deal with noise abatement, as well as other public nuisances; these laws are enforced by the Moreno Valley Police Department as well as Code Compliance Officers. However Mayor Richard Stewart surmises that calls which total two in all, are borderline unlawful acts, and may deem you to be a chronic complainer.
Where will we be as a society if we begin to ignore the law, or refuse to act upon it? Isn’t Moreno Valley already fighting a stigma as a lawless crime ridden city?
Now our own Mayor comes out and speaks like a gang thug with the concept of “Stop Snitching,” how will that sit with those who view our city as crime pit from hell?
Here are his words exactly: "Your continued complaints are without merit for the most part. Phoning the police numerous times may be borderline unlawful and may brand you as a chronic unfounded complainer."
"Without merit for the most part..." what is that supposed to mean? (besides they are not totally without merit).
Mayor Stewart doesn't stop there, he goes on to say if a law passed by the City is found to prevent the City for making a profit regardless of the nature and reasoning behind the law, he will simply change it (kind of like when he said the same thing to Council Jesse Molina as was once shown on this site).
