I was elected to the Orange County Superior Court here—in part because I had virtually unanimous support from law enforcement—and spent ten years in the criminal courts. I trained Orange County police officers for two decades. The knock-notice rule, the rule the Trump administration is now flouting, is one they especially hate. The king’s troops had been breaking down doors and dragging away citizens, just as the king’s troops are doing now. Prior to that, he served as an Orange County Superior Court judge from 1987–1997.
