MedMan661, first of all, learn how to use commas. Second of all, I don't care how big or small a drug bust is, its still taking ILLEGAL drugs off the street. Oh, and your comment about "stealing" money and dope from drug dealers...who CARES! Do you have proof that this is true? I seriously doubt it! How hard is it to comprehend that drugs are ILLEGAL! Lets not forget that it's the small drug dealers that lead to the bigger ones! I suggest you have proof before making false statements!

MEDMAN661, you actually think your smart because you know what VCAT, or Ventura County Combined Agency Team means...the only thing anybody needs to know about VCAT is that they take drug dealers off the street!

narc121, thank you for explaining an "inside" code. Yes MEDMAN661, support support. Most people support law enforcement taking illegal drugs and people who deal with them off the street. Especially hard core drugs and large quainities. So go on and be cool, if you are into an illegal life-style your day may soon be here and you'll be taken off the street as well. Then you can show off in jail.

G-H-E-T-T-O. I sure hope the city council reads these comments and re-considers approving low income housing in the future.

SUESUE what you mean large amounts of drugs?? do know youre weight measurement table? These keystone cops only deal with $20 dollar dealers and street trash. I see alot of people around town driving nice trucks ,cars you name it and these people dont even work while I sit in my job for 10 to 12 hours a day busting my behind in a good paying job and I cant afford all that let alone come home and enjoy a drink like them out in front with my friends with the only worry is where am I going to eat next. These cops here dont do a thing I mean look at the murders none solved. I cruise around sometimes in the middle of the night and I dont see a cop anywhere I mean where do they go they aint even at the coffe shop ? Im telling you the sheriffs are only out for the pay check Ive seen them go down to Grand Ave. and disapear. Ive also seen them down at the end of Good enough rd. I mean what can possibly happen down there they need to patrol where the population is at not fall alseep under a tree. There job should be based on preventing not not solving crimes. Take a drive sometime around 11pm you will see what Im talking about you will get lucky if you see a unit in town but go to outskirts of Fillmore you can catch a sheriff sleeping or even a narc its funny. The whole dept reminds me of the show Barney Five. It makes me mad that my tax dollars are hard at falling asleep not working. Ive collected so much footage on the sherriffs dept that Dateline would love to see it. I went to school with Officer Wiseman the one who got busted for picking up the women at Mc Donalds he use to tell me it was joke so he did what he did because it helped pass time I was aww man now that is scarry

MedMan, welcome to real life, where people SHOULD work hard to get things in life. If you're jealous of drug dealers who don't work and drive nice cars, well, you have a problem. And what's up with this footage you're talking about...IF you had it, I'm sure you would have turned it in by now. I seriously doubt the truth of your comments about disappearing cops...you are not with the cops 24/7! And murders not being solved? Most of the murders in Sheriff's jurisdiction are SOLVED! The only ones that aren't are the gang-related ones where nobody wants to talk about their attacker! That's not the Sheriff's problem.

Actually there have been many murders in Fillmore unsolved.
Yes, I think its a good thing to drive down Grand Ave and Goodenough Rd. Alot of parties down there ,people drinking and drugging it up!!!!! I see cops all over town!!!! What are you talking about?
Yes some cops were busted for not turning in things that were to be put in the booking room or whatever......... some antique guns for one !
But over all they are doing a good job! And it only takes a minute or two to get to a call.

Like I said, homicides in Fillmore are unsolved because they are gang-related and nobody wants to speak up about the people shooting up the streets.

Don't know how long you have lived in Fillmore. But I recall one gang related murder un-solved. And I also remember one way back when the Mom was hacked up and the son was the number one suspect but never arrested.
Oh And I recall one more a elderly woman killed by two teens who lived nearby....not gang related.
