Hawaii County Police Commission Regular Session Minutes March 16, 2007 Page 5 had officers with high powered rifles. The police threw rocks on his driveway and roof, and that was when he was made aware of the situation. When his fiance went out, they saw that she was all right. The police took him outside, and they went inside. They ransacked his house. He made the complaint against officer Taniyama because he was told that Officer Taniyama was in charge. Commissioner Frazier stated that if the officers did not go into the house, they wouldn't have known what was going on. Commissioner Politano Steckel asked Mr. Costa if he could see the other side, that maybe there was somebody else in the house. The officer in charge had to be absolutely sure that there was no one else in the house. KALEOMANAO'O LOANDO (Complaint HPC 07-15) summarized the incident as written in his complaint. He further stated that the officer came up to him yelling and saying the F- word. The officer said he was going 104 mph. He told the officer he was not speeding. The officer asked for his papers and kept saying F -you and F -you punk. He asked to see the radar reading, and the officer told him he didn't have to show it to him. They told the officer they were not the ones who were speeding. The officer kept insisting it was them. They gave him a loud muffler ticket. One officer said he was not going to ticket him for speeding because he didn't see him speeding. Then the officer that he is complaining against, told the other officer to cite them before they say they were stopped for no reason. The officer said he was going 104 mph on the one -lane bridge that is being fixed. The officer said he heard them from a mile away. They were traveling with his girlfriend's cousin who was driving in front of him. She was not cited for speeding. SHELTON NISHIDA (Complaint HPC 06 -30) stated that he is a living human being and would be speaking as a living human being. On December 6, he was stopped by Officers Sagon and Berryhill. He was taken to the station. The handcuffs were kept on him while he was in the cell. He was mocked. All their oaths of office are invalid, and so Officer Sagon is not a police officer. When Officer Sagon stopped him, he asked her if she was a living human being. She did not want to hear it. The person who created the report of reckless driving and loud muffler refused to give information and was not even there. He told them he reserved all his rights. He didn't do anything wrong. He just said he was a human being, and that's why he was treated that way. His complaint is against the living human beings saying they were police officers. Commissioner Lundkvist asked Mr. Nishida to tell them in two sentences what his complaint was and who it was against. NISHIDA stated that his complaint was against Bobbie Jo Sagon and Jason Berryhill, the living human beings. He recognizes them as living human beings, but does not recognize the police officers' authority. He asked the commission to read the two police reports and the discrepancies.
