The Gestapo of the West – 8 Years Later
By Ronald A. Zumbrun, 6/10/2008 – In June of 2000, I authored an article entitled “Santa Cruz: The Gestapo of the West” that pertained to certain improper land use policies of the City of Santa Cruz, including favoritism and selective enforcement. Since then, I have crossed paths with countless individuals who have fallen victim to the unconstitutional practices of the County of Santa Cruz which similarly merit public exposure. The greatest deprivation of constitutional rights is occurring within the County’s enforcement power.
