WHY I THINK WE WILL NOT GET THE 911 TAPES:
Going back to the SIL case and what they did by withholding information to us in his case. It is a classic example of them doing everything to subvert the law.
The informant tells the police the SIL and two others came to him to ask for his assistance in burglarizing the King Kullen Supermarket in Bay Shore.
When the informant broke in the SIL was supposed to be on patrol and guarantee taking the call when it came in and report back there was nothing amiss at the store.
That the SIL was instructed to have his police vehicle parked in the front parking lot of that store when the burglars broke in. If he wasn’t there the burglars would not go in. The SIL and the burglars were equipped with Nextel Point to Point radios to coordinate that plan.
The rear door of the KK (numbered 602) was opened and closed at 1:03:29. There was no further entry at that time and that was proven by a lack of other detectors going off with movement in the store and tampering with the safe and ATM machine. In other words no one was in the store and the SIL was not where the informant said he was supposed to be – otherwise he wasn’t going to go in.
The informant was shown a photograph of the parking lot and indicated upon entering he ran to the front window and pointed to a location where he saw the SIL’s car parked looking out for his burglar friends.
At 12:50AM the SIL sees a car with one headlight out passing the store going eastbound. He follows the car for a block of so when it pulls into a Taco Belle fast food store, enters the take-out line. The SIL follows the car and puts over alert messages to the dispatcher – who is the car registered to.
At 12:56AM, while waiting for the driver to exit he observes SCPD Car#308, operated by P.O. John Cerato passing by. Cerato sees the SIL in Taco Belle and says over the police radio: “ Ray is that you?” Ray advises Cerato to ‘switch’ which means to go to a private radio band so they don’t interfere with regular 911 transmissions. 308 and Ray both switch their radios and Ray tells him he thinks he may have a problem with the driver as it seems as though he was trying to avoid detection. 308 tells him. “I’m here for you” and according to the record he does so and stays with him until the ticket is written and the driver is released at about 1:13AM.
The door was opened and closed at 1:03:29 ,and the SIL was NOT where he was told to be. Instead he has engaged a driver without a clue what would transpire should he need to take further action.
1:00AM the SIL is now putting over a message to check for warrants and a stolen car.
When the SIL is indicted we receive ONLY the radio transmissions of the first call and here him requesting 308 to “switch.” We do not realize there was another police car at the time of the burglary. After interviewing the driver of the car I now realize there were two police cars on the scene when the burglary occurred. At that time the driver (another ******* not related to the burglary) tells me of the other car and saw the SIL and the other car talked while he was waiting for the ticket. I also realize there is another tape needed to be reviewed as it was an integral part of the entire scenario.
I should also add the first tape was given to us without time stamps showing us precisely when each call was made. They are known as CAD entries and are always given to the DA and defense when requested. Truth is if the reports come in they would have the CAD record part of the transcripts and would have to be intentionally removed so was not to complete the entire record.
It is now vital we get the transmission of the ‘switch’ call. Apply for it and we are initially refused. But even a corrupt judge would have a problem with this and so we get the recording.
This incident happened 5 years in the past and Ray couldn’t identify the P.O. in 308. We request the roll call for the concerned evening and it is refused. Is this a matter of national security? The judge has no choice and orders the DA to turn the roll call over. What do we get is the roll call reacted of all the cops that were on patrol that night. Again, not even this bozo of a judge could deny us this important information and now we get the roll call intact.
It was then that I learned to concerned office in 308 is Cerato. I interview him and give him a subpoena. He is very cooperative and friendly. I ask him if he was ever interviewed by the police or the DA. He said he was never interviewed. Now here is a police officer that was on the scene when the burglary occurred and he was never interviewed.
He tells me he will come voluntarily to the lawyer’s office to be interviewed. I know what is going on and I know if he does that he will be in big trouble. I advise him to consult with the PBA before doing so and if he doesn’t he is going to be in big trouble. He does that and it is use against him at trial when he testifies…..He needs a lawyer???
The BOTTOM LINE IS: They are scumbags that will do anything to lie and subvert justice. So what chance do you think they will release the 911 Tape if their arms aren’t twisted?
Spota was the DA then and now it is Sini. Has anyone heard a peep from Sini about this very important issue? Sini, I’m afraid is a product of the machine that gives him his marching orders, nothing less, nothing more.
