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.

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?

Your request (attached) has been forwarded to me for response. I have some questions regarding the scope of your request, but I am hoping they may turn out to be academic and not require resolution based on what I write below.
I received a similar request to yours (prior to yours) that has been narrowed down to:
Emails to or from each of the five Supervisors and Mike Callagy in the last three months that contain the terms: “Racop”, “Logansport”, “batmobile” or “Anagnostou”.
That requestor is also interested in emails between Steve Wagstaffe and Mike Callagy or the Board. Those will also be provided if they exist. The requestor was also interested in all emails to or from the Sheriff with those terms and I previously conducted an equivalent search and didn’t find any.
Because that Public Records Act request came to me first and underlaps with yours, I am going to work on that one first and then provide you with the same documents I provide that requestor. My hope is that, that search will provide you what you are seeking and/or help us work together to design any subsequent searches. So my proposal is that I do that and then you let me know after you have reviewed that material if you are seeking additional searches. Does that work?
I would observe that although they will be captured by my search, the other requestor is not interested in emails from members of the Public expressing their views of the case. If YOU WANT those emails I need to know NOW so I can flag them when I am conducting my review?
I will observe that communications with the County Attorney’s Office that exist (if any) would likely be exempt under Section 6254(k) of the Government Code and the attorney-client privilege as well as the work product doctrine. Further any emails with the District Attorney that reflect the investigation itself would be exempt under Section 6254(f). Both categories would be withheld from any production.
There is only one Candidate for Congress who has demanded the resignation of San Mateo County Sheriff Carlos G. Bolanos for his most recent actions involving the Batmobile Raid in Indiana on July 19, 2022.
I can tell you that Anna Eshoo, David Canepa, and Kevin Mullin haven’t said Boo about it. WHY
While Boston Mass has had the “Winter Hill Gang” and New York “the Five Families”, what should we call the boutique public corruption family of San Mateo County? Or does it deserve such a largesse label? Should members refer to one another, to distinguish themselves from the general public, as “friends of ours”? I know, in at least one instance, members had been referred to as “Those Who Matter”. But are there any others distinguishing terms members should use, to identify one another, such as “made man/woman”?
I submit, these things are important, in order for both residents & outsiders alike to fully appreciate both the scale and depth of what has taken root in San Mateo County. It is also necessary to recognize boundaries and expectations (expected conduct), when interacting with members & associates of the described group. You wouldn’t want to inadvertently run afoul of it and individual members, lest you suffer consequences.
How does one ask for a favor from this group? What is expected, in return?
Can one obtain insurance from it, in order to avoid problems? At what cost?
And, when so insured, can one expect favorable outcomes? How far do such outcomes extend-law enforcement, litigation/prosecutions, judicial decisions, etc.?
In order to be a successful enterprise, the group needs to clearly, either explicitly or implicitly, communicate these things. Or has it already done so, either by act or omission? Is the Batmobile Raid & Prosecution not just such an example?
ABC7 Investigative Reporter Dan Noyes did an excellent job, in bringing to light the Batmobile Raid and corruption involved, but he did not drill down into the obvious, that Sheriff Bolanos’ favor for Atherton Resident/Relator Sam Anagnostou was not possible, without District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe and his staff.
DA Wagstaffe was not only a witting participant, in the matter, he was an essential enabler! None of the search warrant affidavits and the arrest warrant request involved could have been presented to a judge, without first being reviewed and approved by DA Wagstaffe’s office. Furthermore, it was DA Wagstaffe’s Office which collaborated in the investigation and actually crafted & filed the criminal complaint, in the case!
The questions reporter Dan Noyes did not ask Wagstaffe, ones essential to obtain the truth of the matter, are what did he (Wagstaffe) know of the Batmobile investigation, when did he know it, what communications/discussions had he had with Sheriff Bolanos about the matter, when had such discussions occurred, and what communications had his office had with prosecutors, in Cass County, Indiana, and when?
DA Wagstaffe is known to be a hands-on manager, a person deeply involved in the day-to-day operations of his office, meaning for him to say he was unaware of the Batmobile Raid & Case is just not credible. One only has to look at who, at his office, is involved (executive staff members MarieMcLaughlin and Sean Gallagher, an Assistant and Chief District Attorney, respectively, versus line workers) to see DA Wagstaffe’s DNA & fingerprints, are all over the body of evidence.
DA Wagstaffe also knows of Sheriff Bolanos’ past reckless behavior.
Such as his having previously been detained by the FBI and Las Vegas Metropolitan Police, at a seedy human trafficking site, one with indentured sex slaves to include a minor & drugs, in Clark County, Las Vegas, Nevada April 21, 2007 Operation Dollhouse.
In fact, Wagstaffe had actually consoled Bolanos, following his having been caught there. So, again, for DA Wagstaffe to portray himself as having been anything other than a willing participant (principal) in the Batmobile Investigation & Raid is just not believable.
This is the way things are done, in San Mateo County, and if you’re not a person that matters, forget about it
September 13, 2022 the Board of Supervisors held the regular meeting at 9:00 AM.
At the end of public comment BOS President called one of the speakers a LIAR.
This might be one of the reasons the Supervisors are not supposed to respond to Public Comment.
Don Horsley “I never really respond to or talk about public comment, I will on one case.”
” There was a really inflammatory charge about a Deputy Sheriff Murdering somebody, that simply was flat untrue.” Let’s find out who is telling the TRUTH.
I was one of the speakers and I sent this e-mail to Don Horsley yesterday to find out which member of the public he was calling a LIAR and what caused him to make that statement.

Hello Don,
Right after the public comment you felt compelled to assure the Public that one of the speakers made a statement about a citizen being Murdered by the SMC Sheriff’s Office was completely False.
Can you identify for me who that public speaker was, I’m sure you are not talking about me.
What I said was the VIDEO the Government made Public shows Sandra Lee Harmon was Executed.
Here is that video produced by the Sheriff’s Office and the District Attorney’s Office. I’m guessing you have never bothered to watch it.
In my 22 years experience as a Private Victim’s Advocate in San Mateo County I have only had these two gentleman refuse to respond in writing. They both wanted to speak with me. That is a Red Flag in my book.
San Mateo County Sheriff Carlos G. BolanosSan Mateo County Attorney John D. Nibbelin
I must admit I have preferred not speaking to Sheriff Bolanos since I declined his 2 requests to speak/talk to me in person. That has been several years now.
Some of you know that I requested the Supervisors of San Mateo County Remove both Greg Munks and Carlos Bolanos. What date did I do that? April 25, 2007 2:02:30 PM PDT.
These are both very powerful men in very powerful positions in San Mateo County.
John Nibbelin requested a phone conversation about my questions instead of simply answering the questions by e-mail. Red Flag but never the less I said SURE.

Good morning, Mike, John and Don
Is San Mateo County paying for the Legal representation by James Touchstone for Sheriff Carlos G. Bolanos?
If yes what is his hourly rate he is charging SMC?
Why did Carlos G. Bolanos feel he needed an Attorney?
Has Steve Wagstaffe hired an Attorney? Or is SMCC representing Steve Wagstaffe ?
Thank You

San Mateo County Attorney John Nibbelin never made that call or communicated to me since that last e-mail. He never answered those simple questions I asked. I hope he is OK.
I think any reasonable thinking person would know that the Entire Government of San Mateo County has a Bright Shinning Spotlight on it at this very moment. The Sheriff’s Office, The District Attorney’s Office, The County Counsels Office, The County Executive Office formally the County Manager, The Private Defender Program, The Sheriff’s Activity League, The Service League of San Mateo County, The Judges, San Mateo County’s Media.
What caused this Bright Shining Spotlight to finally shine on San Mateo County?
The Batmobile Case has exposed the Organized Crime in San Mateo County, That’s Pretty Cool.
It is highly unusual for an affidavit, which lays out the probable cause that a crime was committed, to be released before charges are filed.
In San Mateo County’s Batmobile case 22-SF-008723-A the AFFIDAVIT is still SEALED after charges have been filed. Why?
I know this is going to come as a shock to some of you reading this but sometimes the Law Enforcement Official who has word-crafted and or signed the AFFIDAVIT is LYING to the Judge.
The entire Legal and Judicial system is based on trust that everyone who has the authority to arrest, shoot, charge and judge you are honest and decent human beings who have taken an oath to uphold the law. They would never Lie to a Judge or the Public, that is the Perception, right?
Just ask Ebele Okobi who said this after her brother Chinedu V. Okobi was murdered by SIX San Mateo County Sheriff Employees on October 3, 2018. “I am angry at myself for believing any of the lie put out by the San Mateo County Sheriff’s Office.” “I am angry at myself for believing that District Attorney Wagstaffe was acting as an impartial defender of the public.”
Or
Just ask x San Mateo County Sheriff Deputy Juan P. Lopez about the AFFIDAVIT SMCSO Andrew Armando filed with San Mateo County Judge Miram in order to get a Search Warrant and seize his cellphone.
J. Tony Serra SBN 32639 NF-433910-A May 01, 2018, “Detective Armando’s Perjuriously alleged that Mr. Lopez placed a telephone call to the Contraband Cell Phone in Order to Obtain a Search Warrant.”
San Mateo County Residents should be demanding the AFFIDAVIT in the Batmobile case be RELEASED.
The bad News is YOU are responsible for the behavior of your Government. The 5 Supervisors are the OVERSIGHT. Replace them with Good and Decent Human Beings.
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?
