November 1st showdown

It looks as though the leadership of the APS has no choice but to sign off on Bernalillo County Sheriff Dan Houston's MOU. They will either sign by the close of business October 31st, or they will wake up the following morning without the authority to arrest criminals.

One of the stipulations in the MOU is, the APS Police Department has to surrender the evidence they are hiding, of criminal misconduct by APS senior administrators, link.

It's going to be close. It's been nearly five years since the leadership of the APS Police Department began it's investigation of the corruption in the leadership of the APS Police Department. Statutes of limitation on felony criminal misconduct, are about to expire.

In order to get the truth out as quickly as possible, it will be necessary for a number of people to step up; beginning with Sheriff Dan Houston.

He needs to make it clear to the leadership of the APS, the MOU regarding their possession of evidence of their own public corruption and incompetence, will be enforceable immediately upon signing the MOU.

If Houston instead, allows them to "begin their search" for records on that date, they will continue their stall until the statutes actually do expire. (Only they know the dates of the actual criminal misconduct.)

Houston will have to give no quarter. He and his legal adviser have indicated that they have no intention to prosecute any of the felonies, or even investigate them; though the corruption involved the felony criminal misuse of Sheriff's Department access to a highly secure national criminal data base.

He can, if he chooses to step up, expedite the surrender of public records to public knowledge. He can make certain that the truth about the scandal in the leadership of the APS is made public knowledge, November 1st.

Or not; we'll just have to see.
