Reno P.D. indicates it has a contract with an unknown entity to provide "Law Enforcement Services" on Stead Airport, Nevada, in exchange for a land lease upon which a hangar owned by Reno P.D. is sitting.
Conflict of Interest indicated in this lease arrangement.
Chief cites Stead Airport as being "in the City of Reno," however, SSNS is informed that the airport is not annexed by the City of Reno.
If the Airport were actually in the City of Reno, no lease arrangement would be necessary and City Police services would provided without need for contract.
Stead Airport is controlled by Washoe County and should therefore be Policed by Airport Police, specially trained for Aviation Security issues, i.e., Anti-terrorisim; security of aircraft; Federal issues related to Airport Security; Federal Aviation Regulations; Hijacking; Bomb Threats related to Aviation Facilities, Fueling Points and Aircraft; etc.
Thus, SSNS contention is that City Police have hired themselves out to AAWC/RARA as a "Private Security Force."
As "lease for services" arrangement exists, then so too, does "Conflict of Interest" in that, to gain lease, Reno P.D. must "do what they are told" (Editor's contention) and cannot refuse orders to arrest.
As Reno P.D. indicates in the employ of the AAWC and RARA under this contract, and not an independent arm of the City...
...Reno P.D. is therefore in the employ of organized crime, based on our documentation, evidence, testimony and this admission by the Chief of the Reno P.D., meaning:
1) We have confirmation that Reno P.D. has a Conflict of Interest with organized crime interests ("The Mob") as reflected by the criminal acts and operations of the thugs at the Reno Air Racing Association and the Airport Authority of Washoe County, the facades behind which they are hiding while perpetrating Major Fraud.
~~~~~~~~~~
2) The Reno P.D. has no business making arrests on behalf of "The Mob" on Stead Airport, Nevada. The Reno P.D. has no business doing business with "The Mob" whatsoever nor acting as an "Agent" and "Vector" of the same.
~~~~~~~~~~
3) The Airport is the jurisdiction of the Airport Police, not the Reno P.D., nor the Washoe County Sheriff, though the Sheriff's Office should be involved in Security of a County facility.
~~~~~~~~~~
4) The Reno P.D. is on the payroll of organized crime ("The Mob").
~~~~~~~~~~
5) The Reno P.D.'s Conflict of Interest adds to the City of Reno's Conflicts of Interest in this case, particularly where the City of Reno benefits from (a) $65 million in tourism dollars annually from the operations of the Reno Air Races and (b) a lease arrangement in which they exchange "Private Security Services" (SSNS contention) on behalf of the AAWC and RARA, utilzing the "Color of Authority of Law" to conduct the same.
~~~~~~~~~~
~ End Result: Civil Rights Violations "Under Color of Authority of Law" against a First Amendment Protected Journalist with nearly 37 years of service as such and as published by UPI, AP and Reuters over that same period.
~ Civil Rights violated as "Pattern of Practice" in regards to "Arrests for Profit."
~ Conflicts of Interest that will require the City of Reno, the County of Washoe and quite possibly, the State of Nevada, to disqualify themselves in this case, to include the Municipal and District Courts.
~~~~~~~~~~
And Citizens of Reno and Washoe County, Nevada...
...if they're doing this to me, a First Amendment Protected Journalist, then you can only imagine what they're doing to you and yours!
Cases of Karen Lekas, Jacqueline Shrout and Anons 3 & 4 add to these new issues of "Government for Profit" by Organized Crime in the State of Nevada.
~~~~~~~~~~
The exchange is below and provided a very few, candid, honest answers from the Police Chief for the City of Reno, which are refreshing in Reno Government in this day and age.
There was no dishonesty, but it's rather easy to conclude that the Police Chief of the City of Nevada was holding back in his first reply, and is now holding back completely in his second reply.
By the tone of my questions, most of you will be able to see where else I'm heading with this line of questioning. "Discovery" preparations will begin later today after I recover from some scheduled appointments at the V.A. Medical Center in just a few hours.
The FBI complaint will follow immediately for Civil Rights Violations by the Reno P.D., the City Attorneys Office, the City of Reno, the AAWC, RARA and the RARF, among others.
There's more to come ~ we still don't know if this was a Citizen's Arrest or an arrest by a Reno P.D. controlled by Organized Crime interests in the White Collar Community (Corporate, Networked, Bought and Paid For...) ~ and we still don't have answers to our questions from a Reno P.D. that is still an "Officer of the Courts" that by all indications, admits working for "The Mob."
Yes, very candid answers, indeed...

Dear Chief Poehlman:
I need to know why the Reno P.D. are being utilized to Police Stead Airport, Nevada, which is a county facility, not part of the annexation of the local Stead area by the City of Reno, and supposedly under the protection of the Federal Government and Washoe County, via Airport Police, TSA and Homeland Security.
As background to this issue: I was arrested on June 19, 2009, by Reno P.D. as a "Citizen's Arrest" complaint filed by the Reno Air Racing Association (RARA). I am a Journalist with business on that airport,which is a Public Airport, and a First Amendment Right to monitor the activities of RARA, which is a 503 Non-profit whose books, events and activities, all correspond to Public Record, which must be presented on demand.
I was arrested under the same trumped up charges in September, 2004.
I am preparing Federal charges against the RARA at this time, including for Major Fraud directed against the United States government, along with corresponding charges against a "retired" Reno Deputy Police Chief and an instructor from the State Police Academy, for aiding and abetting them. Lawsuits will likely be expanded to the City of Reno and the City Attorney's Office, along with (against) the Municipal Court.
At no time during either arrest were Airport Authority personnel present nor do they appear to have been consulted.
I do not believe that Reno P.D. should be involved in arresting people on a Federally-protected airfield. There is no restraining order on me, only a "Notice to Exclude" without grounds for the exclusion, meaning, discrimination. And everyone pretty much knows why they wish to discriminate against me:
My reporting against their criminal activities, which include fraud, land fraud, sexual harassment, Air Safety violations, Embezzlement, use of thugs, conspiracy, Racketeering, attempted murder and other ridiculous behavior, is well documented. Both myself and the person I was with had our safety endangered when a RARA Security vehicle blocked our path from leaving, though your officer was in plain sight and was going to pull us over anyway, according to the Officer.
I'd like to know how they (Michael J. Houghton and RARA) have the ability to bypass Federal Law Enforcement and Airport Security procedures to utilize Reno P.D. for false arrest, malicious prosecution and fraudulent conviction, in violation of other Civil Rights which I amsure you are well aware of.
I have no complaint against the Office that arrested me. This is a managment issue as far as I am concerned. Especially where Law Enforcement have Conflicts of Interest in the running of what is supposed to be a local charity and public event.
Similar copies of this message are being sent to the FAA, Homeland Security and TSA, along with a formal complaint going to the Secretary of Defense, the Department of Transportation and President Obama. A preliminary complaint has already been sent to the Department of Defense and the President.
Looking forward to your response. Thank you for your time.

Fwd: ACT: Question regarding jurisdiction...
Mr. Daniels
Here is what I know. On June 15 it was reported that you were admonished to stay off the airport property. On June 19 you were alleged to have returned and were arrested by our officer for misdemeanor Trespass in facilitation of a citizens arrest by airport personnel. Our case 09-20386.
The Stead airport is in the City of Reno and the Reno Police Department has a contract for law enforcement service in lieu of lease costs for the ground under an airport hangar that the Reno Police Department owns. (Emphasis Added by Editor)
Any access issues you have need to be taken up with the Reno/TahoeAirport Authority.
Chief Poehlman

SSNS / M. Daniels Inquiry # 2
Dear Chief Poehlman:
This was a very informative answer.
I would appreciate some additional information regarding the contract you have and the land you describe as being under a hangar. Is this land merely with a hangar on top of it, or is there a facility beneath the hangar. That is one point that is not clear to me.
Another point is, specifically which hangar are you talking about and with whom is your lease/contract binding?
Secondly, I would like to have FOIA access to the terms and conditions of the contract. If you feel Discovery as part of the litigation I will have in this matter is more appropriate, or access via subpoena, please let me know. Additionally, were you or your Officer presented with a copy of the contract between RARA and the AAWC, so that either of you would know at the time whether or not these "contract rights" they claim in the Notice to Exclude actually exist or not?
If not, have you been presented with a copy since and if so, on what date was it presented subsequent to my arrest?
Though the Stead Airport may or may not be in the City of Reno, it is controlled by the AAWC of Washoe County, the State of Nevada, along with the FAA, with the Department of Defense, Department of Homeland Security and TSA, having interests in what goes on in regards to its Security and Grounds.
You indicate that your Officer conducted the arrest. That is also slightly vague. I was informed by the Officer that this was a Citizen's Arrest, however, the issues that make up a Citizen's Arrest were not present at the arrest itself. There are special procedures by which a Citizen's Arrest is conducted. Those were also absent at my first arrest in September, 2004.
All of these issues are to be challenged in a Federal Court.
Therefore, I need confirmation one way or the other ~ was this a Citizen's Arrest, or was this an arrest initiated by Reno P.D.? The Officer indicated that officials of RARA wanted me arrested and again, that this was a "Citizen's Arrest." I think we both need clarification on that issue.
In regards to issues beyond the terms and conditions of your lease, I need to know the period of time this contract has been in effect and furthermore, does your contract recognize the U.S. Federal Government's Laws and Anti-discrimination measures in the contract.
Also, is there a Severability and/or Severability clause to the contract?
If possible, a copy of the contract would be appreciated. Also, I was initially refused the Police Reports from the arrest, to include Statements by those making the arrests, due to the issue raised by your records section that "the case had not been transferred to the City Attorney's Office." The case has not been transferred, however, I have only three pages of the Report from the City Attorney and witness/victim's statements are missing, and no formal statement was taken from my witness who observed the arrest. I would therefore like a complete copy of the Arrest Report, Witness and Victim's statements, including that of the Officer.
In regards to the "Notice to Exclude," that document is deficient and will be addressed in Federal Court as such, in that there are no grounds for the exclusion and no Due Process available within RARA, the RARF and the AAWC, to challenge such a fraudulent document.
Please be advised that First Amendment Protected Journalists are not admonished by Mobsters such as Michael J. Houghton and his thugs at RARA to do "anything" in general, and in particular, we are not admonished to "not do our jobs" when it comes to exposing criminal acts involving Conspiracy and Racketeering.
I am now concerned that because of this "Phantom contract" that up until now, I was previously unaware of, and since this contract tends to undermine the testimony of a former Reno Deputy Police Chief and then Acting Police Chief (Temporary) as perjury, I am very, VERY (emphasis, not screaming, the latter a violation of "netiquette") interested in the details or in particular, the "Terms & Conditions."
I see a major conflict of interest between the Reno P.D. and the Reno Air Racing Association, as well as the Reno Air Racing Foundation and the Airport Authority of Washoe County, in such a trade of "Security Services" for property lease. The crimes of Mike Houghton, the RARA and the AAWC, are well documented.
The rhetorical question is ~ and you can choose to answer this if you wish to ~ has the Mob in Reno just hired the Reno Police to serve as its Thugs and Enforcers?
...this is because the next questions out of my mouth will be the same one, only, the question will address the City of Reno, the City Attorney and the City Courts, including, but not limited to, Justice of the Peace, Small Claims (Case of Ray Sherwood vs Michael J. Houghton and RARA et al) and the Municipal Court?
Are they too, on the Mob payroll or having something to gain and benefit from contracts with RARA, AAWC and RARF?
I know that my readers would be very interested in having an answer to that question.
Final questions for you:
Are you familiar with and can you describe the terms "Pattern of Practice" and "Civil Rights Violations Under Color of Authority?" Are your Officers trained in avoidance of these issues?
That is pretty much the extent of my questons based on your rather excellent response. Your time and attention to these questions is very much appreciated. I am encouraged by your straightforward honest replies so far.
I am hoping for more.
Thank you, and aside from these controversies, I do wish you and yours a very good day!

~ End of Discussion by E-mail ~
In regards to "returning" after being admonished to stay off Stead Airport, there was some confusion on the part of the Police Chief, based on the explanation he was given in regards to what he knew of my arrest.
The "Notice to Exclude" was issued prior to my going on Stead Airport therefore, there was no "return" per say, other than, RARA and their AAWC friends were challenged a second time since my first arrest on September 14, 2004, as to this bogus, groundless "Notice to Exclude," that was issued on behalf of RARA by the Law Firm they share jointly with the RARF ~ the Jones Vargas Law Firm, as headed by State Senator William J. "The Kingpin" Raggio, Father of the AAWC and whose Law Firm lobbies him and others in the Nevada Sentate.
However, the "Notice to Exclude" actually occurred immediately following the posting of my Red Bull Air Racing coverage, which I believe was the catalyst to cause RARA to remember the Law Firm hadn't issued me their annual "Notice to Exclude," thus a rush to have it hand delivered to my home address here in the downtown Reno area. That hand delivery was followed by a Certified Mailing received here at my home address, while I was out, by Jeremy and/or Ali Boswell.
There were only three days notice an no time to prepare an Emergency Injunction. RARA was informed at the Stead Airport event site in 2008 that I would be challenging them again in 2009. Michael J. Houghton and Steve Silva were the individuals receiving that notification.
They were left alone in 2008 based on the verbal condition they not issue any "Wanted: Dead or Alive Posters" on my photographers as they had issued on me approximately two years earlier.
Please note that the above e-mail exchange has been diseminated to others and will continue to be, even after the arraignment on August 6, 2009, as an additional, Major Civil Rights case against the City and the Reno P.D. has been given foundation by the Chief of Police for Reno, Nevada.
The Editor is currently in contact with the Reporter's Committee in regards to these ongoing Civil Rights and First Amendement issues, has been in prior contact with Reporters Without Borders, of which the Editor is a member and sponsor, and will shortly be in contact with the Committee of Concerned Journalists, of which the Editor is also a member, along with a selection of News publications around the Globe.
In the meantime, Civil Rights in Reno are effectively at an end as there is no "Equal Justice, Equal Protection Under the Law" when the Law serves Corporate Organized (White Collar) Crime Interests and effects False Arrests on behalf of the same.
Likewise, "Ask The Reno P.D." just became ineffective in that, Freedom of Information just went out the window, as does a person's First Amendment Protect Right to "Petition the Government for a Redress of Grievances," when that very same Government ~ as reflected by the City of Reno and the Reno P.D. at this critical moment in time ~ serves "The Mob," not the People, and receives tangible financial perks and benefits as a direct result of betraying you, "The People!"
Using False Allegations and False Arrest, along with Malicious Prosecution and Fraudulent Conviction, to silence "Your Press" ~ the ones with the responsibility to the "Public's Right to Know" and to keep you informed ~ are not in your best interests.
Particularly, when these techniques once successful against the Press, can then be turned on you, "The People."
~ Ed.
P.S. I just found where the Police Chief acknowledges: "...were arrested by our officer for misdemeanor Trespass in facilitation of a citizens arrest by airport personnel." That was a very important piece of information I needed. Sitting there right in front of me. Unfortunately, the Conflict of Interest again and contradicting statements. They're paid via a lease agreement ~ which contains financial value in regards to having land available on which they have a hangar ~ to provide "Law Enforcement Services." However, if the land were in the City of Reno, they cannot charge for that service. Even if the land isn't in the City of Reno, or controlled by the same, they cannot charge for Private Security Services that conflict with their duties as Law Enforcement Officers.
They themselves may have to arrest the people whom they have a lease with. Instead, they do the bidding of criminals and the innocent are arrested by the Reno P.D. without consideration of the merit of the charges... "Misdemeanor Trespass on a Public Airport by a 503 Non Profit organization of a First Amendment protected Journalist."
Oh well. This is defintely going to a Federal Court now. But at least I found that section where they acknowledge "Citizen's Arrest." And in that regard, the "Citizen's Arrest" was not done properly. That becomes an issue.
So happy to support your organization.
