NEWS-PRESS, SANTA BARBARA (SANTA BARBARA CO.) M (M-F) DLY 25,273
first there are the stories from Steepleton.... total spin jobs with bias against Kasi Beutel...now I know Kasi can defend herself, but the News-Press is engaged in a little shell game and I am simply exposing it....shell game: fraud; especially : a swindle involving the substitution of something or someone of little or no value (Lance) for a valuable item/person (Officer Beutel)
the NP is complicit in trying to prop up Lance as a great investigative reporter...I'll be checking into Lance's spotty career later..two shoddy news entities trying to prop up each other's image! how can you talk sense to these inebriated numbskulls? this is all about drunk driving, not Kasi Beutel.....
every city I know has a DUI Unit and they enforce the law.. I just got my vehicle registration and read the insert about DUI and the little chart about BAC..it is illegal to drive with a Blood Alcohol Level (BAC) of 0.08 or more....(0.04 for commercial vehicles and 0.01 if under 21 years of age)...then, if you still choose to drink and drive, you might get pulled over and be arrested...real simple...
Lance claims he's a lawyer but doesn't understand this?? and advocates that drinking and driving is ok?? what a nincompoop..
now the facts are two cases involving Officer Beutel have been settled with the arrested DUI drivers either pleading "no contest" or copping some other plea in which they serve less time in jail or probabation....the News-Press somehow twists these issues as favorable for the idiots who got busted instead of a victory for the justice system....just nonsense and proof that the News-Press is CUCKOO FOR KASI...and if you read the story it in no way exonerates the guy who got busted!! and the real point is the News-Press and Lance rantings caused the trial to be moved up north...the defendant was a guy named Parker O'Sullivan, a nice Irish lad who got busted for DUI and hit and run...according to the NP, he got a dry reckless...
A California DUI / DWI attorney knows that sometimes it is better to accept a plea bargain than to go to trial in drunk driving cases. The plea negotiations in a drunk driving case will often depend on the strength of the prosecution's case. A weak case may result in an offer that may be too good to turn down...A dry-reckless will typically be offered when a driver's BAC was .08 percent or less. If a dry-reckless is offered by the prosecutor, it may not be worth it to the driver to go to trial even if their BAC was very low. A dry-reckless is a misdemeanor that carries very little in the way of fine and punishment.
not exactly an exoneration for O'Sullivan, the dumbass!!

wimping out..
next, as I predicted, Peter Lance took to the freebie airwaves Channel 17 and made yet another appearance on the Mr.Wimpy Show AKA Worthen One on One...now this is starting to look like a right wing conspiracy....watching these two yokels is pure fun for me...Lance got his case dismissed not because he was innocent, but because Judge Hill made a mistake...how can he tell a cop it was reasonable to pull over Lance that night and then dismiss the case because the cop violated Lance's under the 4th Amendment rights?? the stop was either reasonable or it wasn't!
and it was Genis and Lance who wanted the evidence against Lance suppressed because it was so damaging..the skinny tux and wobbly walk...in reality, the cops wanted the case to go to trial.
but Lance is still trying to excuse the fact that he was DUI.... and of couse blaming the cops who arrested him.....everything that happened that night was the fault of the SBPD, the DA and government in general....no Pete, everything that happened that night was YOUR fault....
but on and on these guys went about Officer Beutel and her rouge ways...

Lance always qualified his accusations with "in my opinion" which means he doesn't have any proof of anything...and he finally admitted he drinks alcohol daily because he's "Italian"...
Lance and Mr. Wimpy (extreme rightwinger Jim Worthen) accused Beutel and her husband of many crimes in their role as police officers..now, I 'd take this TV show and use it in a lawsuit that I hope will be filed against Lance and the News-Press...but time will tell...
Lance and Mr Wimpy claim that this issue is like the Penn State cover up...the SBPD, the DA, the City of Santa Barbara are covering up the for the DUI unit!! but the proper correlation is Penn State enabled a pedophile like Lance is enabling drunk drivers..
and then Lance makes a plea at the end for city employees and interns and even arch enemy prosecutor Hilary Dozer to call him with information about the inner police workings and corruption...
what these two knucklehead drama queens Lance and Wimpy don't understand is any citizen can request a tour of any city department...it's an open book, not some hush hush spy novel that Lance is trying to concoct...
as long as the News-Press prints lies, I'll be right here exposing them..and keep up the good work Officer Beutel and fellow DUI officers!!

I couldn't agree more Mick! I actually met Officer Beutel a while back and she was nothing like the monster that Lance and his puppet, Steepleton, make her out to be. She seemed like a normal person who is brave to do the job that she does. She talked about her kids and seemed very down to earth.
Lance and his band of fools (Genis, Worthan, Eringer, etc.) all seem kinda nuts to me. The whole "it's a giant conspiracy" crap just seems so suspect. Do they really think that the whole SB justice system and the local government is trying to protect one little police officer? It just doesn't make sense....if she really did something wrong, then they could just fire her or tell her to resign or even charge her with a crime like they've done before in other cases.
My money is on the police department Mick. I appreciate them trying to keep the streets safe and protecting us from people like Lance.
Great analysis, Mick.
That Steepleton guy is such a kook. What a pathetic excuse for a legitimate journalist. He is so obviously a puppet for Peter Lance.
Another 700 readers fly the stinking coop that is the News Press....Bwahahah
