DESCRIPTION

Long Beach Police regularly raid medical marijuana dispensaries and take medication, money, and destroy equipment. Several collectives have filed suit against Long Beach for using excessive force, warrantless searches, and deceptive warrants to engage in behavior that violates the Constitution (Fourth Amendment). These illegal searches and seizures are ongoing and constitute a pattern of illegal conduct by Long Beach and its police officers. The actions of the police need to be stopped before someone is hurt or killed. In 2010, officers, through excessive and unreasonable force, without care or concern for human life, killed 35-year-old Doug Zerby. There have been numerous incidents of bad behavior. Advocates claim Long Beach officials take bribes and have retaliated because their bribe taking system was struck-down by a California Appeals Court.

DECLARATION OF JERJAN NIKKO ALIM

1. I, Jerjan Nikko Alim, declare as follows:

2. I am a resident of Los Angeles County, CA.

3. I am a volunteer at The NatureCann Collective

4. NatureCann was raided on April 4th, 2013.

5. To Whom It May Concern:

I am Jerjan Nikko Alim, a lead volunteer at NatureCann. On Tuesday February 26, 2013 at

approximately 2:00PM Long Beach Police and a couple other cops who were uninformed

came into our place of business, Naturecann, with their guns drawn at us. There was a lead

voice screaming at my volunteer, Jennifer Jazzmine Marisol Morales, and I to let them in or

else they would break our doors. We obliged to their demand and allowed them entry into our

private room where all our mediation is located in fear that if we did not cooperate they

would get violent with us and start breaking down our door. I did not want that, and asked

them to please not damage any of our things.

6. Once the police were in the medication room, the first thing I remember them doing was

emptying out our cash register, as 4 officers sat Jennifer and I down. They brought in another

one of my volunteers, Justin Hartnell from the next door restaurant. He had his hands behind

his back and had 2 officers on each side of him.

7. They ransacked our drawers and cabinets for any money or medication they could find

and poured all the jars of medical cannabis in a bag. They asked us many questions, all of

which we refused to answer and then called us criminals.

8. When I was asked if any of my personal belongings were in the building, I responded,

“Yes” thinking it was a harmless answer to a harmless question. Once I pointed out my bag,

the lead detective, Dave Stronham, went through my purse, and took out my wallet. There he

found my $1000 which I had earned from the previous weekend from a modeling photoshoot.

I begged him not to take my money, and asked what it had to do with NatureCann. He said it

was dirty money, and if he wanted, he could take whatever he felt was needed. He said my

money was part of evidence. I told him to call my photographer and ask how much the

photoshoot paid me so he had proof that my money was my own personal earnings, not

anything that had to do with our collective. He said, regardless, he wasn’t going to call, and

rather not take my word for it because the simple fact that I was in a “pot shop”- his words

not mine- I was a criminal and he would not believe a word that came out of the mouth of a

criminal.

9. I was very afraid, as if they were robbers not officers of the law. I felt very let down by

our own system, because I always believed I was not doing anything wrong, followed all

rules and laws, and that I could trust our community officers to protect and serve, not harass

and steal.

I declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the State of California that the

aforementioned statement represents my personal knowledge and is true and correct.

EXECUTED this 18th day of April, 2013 in Long Beach, California:

DECLARATION OF DONAVIN DEVOUX

I, Donavin Devoux, declare as follows:

1. I am a resident of Long Beach, CA.

2. I am a volunteer at The Fourth St. Collective.

3. On the day of March 5th 2013 the police came through the doors of the collective with guns

drawn while everybody who worked there was in side. They came in and were a little ruff with us

until everybody was in handcuffs. First thing they did was search us after we were secured, I was

asked "where's the gun?", "where did You put it?" And I replied with "what gun?" "I don't know

what your talking about". Then they asked "do I have a gun license?". I replied with "no, I am just

a guard, I have no gun". After being searched, handcuffed and everybody made to sit on the

ground we were all moved to the lobby where we were searched again. They took our I.Ds to

identify who we were. After a while of sitting in the lobby we were put in the cop cars and

escorted to the long beach police station.

I declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the State of California that the

aforementioned statement represents my personal knowledge and is true and correct.

EXECUTED this 22nd day of April, 2013:

DECLARATION OF JAMES OSCAR CRUZ

1. I, James Oscar Cruz, declare as follows:

2. I am a resident of Los Angeles County, CA.

3. I am a volunteer at The Fourth St. Collective.

4. On March 5th 2013 I was helping a patient at the time when the LBPD raided us. They came in

around 2-3 o clock and when I looked up they were at the second door with their guns drawn and

in a obviously heated mood, so I let them in and did what they said by putting my hands down

and dropped to a knee. Then they grabbed me and cuffed me and sat me down in the tending

room as they searched around. As they proceeded to search they took us to the front room of the

collective, which is our check In room. They then individually tried to question us but we politely

refused to answer any questions with out our lawyer present. Just as they had done before they

insulted our intelligence by saying things like'' why don't u get a real job'' ''I bet you guys are all

high school or college drop outs". After about 20 minutes in that room they took us to the car and

straight to the station where they booked us.

I declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the State of California and United States

that the aforementioned statement represents my personal knowledge and is true and correct.

EXECUTED this 22nd day of April, 2013:
