San Mateo County News.com was started for the sole purpose of Making San Mateo County Safer for the Residents.
Rishi Kumar a Candidate for Congress is the ONLY candidate running for ANY office in ALL of San Mateo County who has demonstrated he is interested in that same goal.
That is why he is the ONLY candidate San Mateo County News.com has Endorsed this election.
Just ask Mark Racop the Batmobile builder from Indiana or The Edais Family of Daly City.
Rishi Kumar was the only politician that had the fortitude to not only stand up for me when the ridiculous accusations were made against me, but he actually showed up in the court room to demand the charges be dropped. If he’s willing to go that far to help a stranger in a far-off state, he’s going to work even harder for you, in yours. I believe in Rishi, and you should too. Mark Racop, licensed 1966 Batmobile replica seller and builder.
I hope this is helpful in your campaign.

Mark Racop, Owner Fiberglass Freaks
Mark Racop
Did any other Elected Official or Candidate for any office bother to make a simple phone call to Mark Racop to express his/her outrage as to the Abuse of Power by San Mateo County Employees?
This is a civil, not a criminal matter, Everybody and their mother knows this.
We already know what did happen, the main question now is why is this case still ACTIVE?

I will be there in person because Mark Racop has to fly out from Indiana to say two words, Not Guilty in PERSON in San Mateo County County because a Judge has ordered him to appear in person. He is not allowed to appear on ZOOM for this arraignment hearing. Remember he lives and works in Indiana.
Some of you might have heard of this case since ABC 7 Investigative Reporter Dan Noyes broke the story of the July 19, 2022 Search Warrant being served on Mark Racop at his place of business in Indiana by a four man TEAM of San Mateo County Sheriff’s Office finest. The plan was to arrest Mark Racop and bring him all the way back to San Mateo County to TEACH HIM and others a lesson about the power of the Sheriff’s Office, District Attorney’s Office, Judges, County Counsel and the Supervisors of San Mateo County.
Mark Racop’s case has received worldwide attention because of the Batmobile replica that his company Fiberglass Freaks makes by hand.
The majority of the 22,000 comments made from the 10M VIEWS in 2 months have been similar.
Here are just 2 recent comments:
It’s hard to believe that the Sheriff double down on his stupid actions with a stupid statement that he would ask the same thing of investigators whenever a “Potential Crime” came to his attention. You don’t issue search and arrest warrants for potential crimes, you investigate and come up with some basic evidence to support what your buddy told you. How did a judge get conned into signing these warrants? Did the Sheriff use his friendship with the Judge to influence the warrants? Was the whole story disclosed to the judge? Assuming there was a contract, the purchaser was in breach of contract when he failed to make a timely payment. The consequence of the missed payment was not losing his money or his Batmobile, but merely losing his position in the queue. This is a civil, not a criminal matter.
The sad thing is this is probably the tip of the iceberg when it comes to this sheriff’s corruption. Given that county sheriffs are primarily responsible for property seizures and evictions, there should be an investigation to see if the sheriff misused his authority on behalf of his realtor friend. If so, this story instantly becomes something much bigger and something that should lead to prison sentences for both the sheriff and the realtor.
The Batmobile case has shinned a light on San Mateo County Government when no other case I’m aware of has done. The great news is nobody was Murdered or Executed by the Sheriff’s Office Employees this time.
This behavior is more the norm in San Mateo County, just look at the ret. Sheriff Deputy Juan P. Lopez case and the Edais Family vs. Coroner Robert Foucralt case as current examples.
Please check back for updates as to the Status of this case and the Friday In-person hearing, I hope to see you there.
The Topic is the August 16, 2022 Letter aka The ASK from County of San Mateo County Executive Mike Callagy to Rob Bonta the Attorney General for the State of California.
Lets have a discussion.
Michael Stogner is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting.

As many of my readers know I have said San Mateo County Courts should be CLOSED until the 5 Supervisors of San Mateo County can assure the Public of Fair and Honest Hearings. The Supervisors have REFUSED to do that they have ZERO interest in doing that. The results are predictable.
The Criminal Case against San Mateo County Sheriff Deputy Juan P. Lopez is just 1 of the many cases I have reported on for 8 years now. Notice there are three case numbers, Why?

SF395377F | The People of the State of California vs. JUAN PABLO LOPEZ
Does anybody remember this?
Do you remember what happened to that case and those charges? Do you care?
The Criminal Charges against Juan P. Lopez a San Mateo County Sheriff Deputy were FALSE.
Let that FACT sink in for a few minutes.
San Mateo County Superior Court Judge Joseph Scott did not file for re-election. WHY?
Attorney Tony Serra said he Committed Perjury, I wonder if that had anything to do with it?
Attorney Tony Serra said San Mateo County Sheriff Office Detective Andrew Armando Committed Perjury.
If Tony Serra was wrong he would have been criminally charged and lost his License to Practice Law.
The question I have for all of the RESIDENTS of San Mateo County is, WHY are you OK with your Government Officials and the Judicial Branch Committing Felonies against a San Mateo County Sheriff Deputy.
If they can do it to a Sheriff Deputy, take a wild guess who else they can do it to, anytime they want.
San Mateo County Superior Court Judge Joseph Scott made the order that Juan P. Lopez’s case could NOT be observed on ZOOM right after he (Judge Scott) was accused of PERJURY.

Rishi Kumar takes ACTION, If you want something done call Rishi.
How many of you reading this know that you are responsible for your Governments behavior.
Mark Racop is a part time minister that lives in Indiana, he also owns a small business that makes the 1966 Batmobile car. He is the only person licensed by DC Comics to build that car.
On July 19, 2022 an elite gang of 4 San Mateo County Sheriff Employees lead by SMCSO Lt. Michael Leishman arrived at Mark Racop’s business which is named Fiberglass Freaks, with the intention of Kidnapping the person, and taking possession of a unfinished 1966 Batmobile car and tow it back to Atherton, California.
In order to accomplish this BLACK-OPS MISSION you can just imagine how many San Mateo County Employees, Elected Officials including Judges were involved.
SMCSO Lt. Michael Leishman in the casual flannel is the LEADER. NO Body Worn Cameras. Why?
The response most reasonable people say when they first hear about this is “They Can’t Do That”
The FACT is They Did Do That. What are you going to do about it.
There are FOUR Candidates for Congress in this next Election.
Rishi Kumar is the only Candidate I’m aware of who not only CALLED Mark Racop.
Rishi Kumar took time out of his very busy schedule to attend Mark Racop’s August 19, 2022 Court Hearing in Redwood City, California.
Three of San Mateo County Sheriff’s Office Finest on Official Business interacting with a civilian, Does anybody see a Body Worn Camera?
Does San Mateo County Sheriff’s Office have a different POLICY for wearing Body Worn Cameras when the Elite Ops TEAM is out of state? This looks like the San Mateo County Gang TASK FORCE.
Who was San Mateo County Sheriff Lieutenant Michael Leishman Talking/Texting to in San Mateo County on July 19, 2022 while on his Special Ops case in Indiana?
Lt. Michael Leishman is the Big Guy playing with his phone.
There are still so many questions unanswered? Why is that?

SMC District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe was quoted in a 8/18/22 article by Michelle Iracheta and Leah Worthington / Redwood City Pulse
“We’ve had three judges look at it. Two judges looked at the search warrant and said, ‘Yep, there is probable cause to believe that a crime has been committed, and these records would be evidence of it,'” he said. A third judge reviewed and approved the charges and issued an arrest warrant.
A third judge reviewed and approved the charges and issued an arrest warrant. What is the name of THIS San Mateo County Judge?
San Mateo County’s Elite Special Ops Gang of FOUR
Remember this Elite Special Ops Gang of FOUR intended to Grab Mr. Mark Racop and bring him back to San Mateo County on a Flight? Did they already pay for his Flight, and was it one way or round trip?
That looks a little like Kidnapping doesn’t it.
It’s been more than 74 days since this case was filed in San Mateo County Court and the Public still doesn’t know the names of the THREE JUDGES who touched this case. WHY?
74 days ago was Election Day in San Mateo County, just a fact.
San Mateo County District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe said “Michael Connolly was earnestly trying to clean up the Broadmoor Police District.”
CalPERS is seeking the return of $1,800,000.00 from a former Broadmoor Police Chief Dave Parenti. That sounds pretty pleasant doesn’t it. SEEKING.
What was the meaning of seeking?
verb (used with object), sought, seek·ing. to go in search or quest of: to seek the truth. to try to find or discover by searching or questioning: to seek the solution to a problem. to try to obtain: to seek fame. to try or attempt (usually followed by an infinitive): to seek to convince a person.
Why would CalPERS be SEEKING? Does former Broadmoor Police Chief Dave Parenti owe it?
Did former Broadmoor Police Chief Dave Parenti, obtain this $1.8M legally if so why is CalPERS seeking it back? Was this just a little accounting error for a friend.
Does San Mateo County District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe or San Mateo County District Attorney Inspector Kevin Raffaelli have any personal friendships or social connections with x Broadmoor Police Chief Dave Parenti?
In one of the largest “double-dipping” cases in recent memory, the state’s main pension fund is demanding that a former police chief return $1.8 million in “unlawful” retirement benefits he accrued while working in the tiny San Mateo county neighborhood of Broadmoor.
The KEY word here is “UNLAWFUL” that means a crime has been committed.
This reminds me of the SamTrans $2.5M FRAUD case where 3 CPA’s whistlebolwers reported they were ordered to commit crimes. They did find the $2.5M exactly where the 3 accounts said it was. SMCDA Steve Wagstaffe No Criminal Charges were ever filed. NBC Reporter Vicky Ngueyen did a great job reporting it.
Has San Mateo County Law Enforcement and Government Officials ever done favors for Friends before? A current example is 22-SF-008723-A | The People of the State of California vs. MARK RACOP Batmobile case which has NATIONAL ATTENTION on San Mateo County. Several SMC Employees and Government Officials are involved.
Mark Racop will be attending his first court appearance Friday August 19, 2022 9:00 AM Courtroom 8B by ZOOM. The San Mateo County “Those Who Matter Gang” wanted him to fly out to SMC to appear in PERSON for his 5 minute court appearance. I forgot to mention, they froze his bank account. There will be members of the Public in the Courtroom to show their support for Mark Racop from Indiana.
San Mateo County News.com has been reporting on Corruption and Organized Crime in San Mateo County for 22 years. This criminal behavior will continue until the Residents say That is Enough, and Elect Good and Decent People to Office.
You would think that would be enough wouldn’t you?
