RAY: I'm very familiar with the background, so I'd just like you to submit to us what you'd like to see addressed in the Charter, and how you think it could be better handled in regard to the Charter. ROSS: Okay. Then let me carry on because I don't want to waste time, if you don't mind. It should be clear from that, and other things, that something more, in the way of fundamentals, should be put in the Charter. Now, you can say, yes, but the Police Commission can do what they like already, and so on. No. The Police Commission has to be told by the Charter what it should do. Recently, I'm talking a few weeks ago, I was ticketed for not wearing a seatbelt. I have a doctor's statement in my pocket. It was ignored. It went to court already. The judge dismissed the case. Here am, falsely accused again. These things shouldn't happen. I wasn't arrested, by the way. The case is still coming up. That is what I am going to bring a complaint for in Police Commission, and Corp Counsel has let me know that I'm not going to get a contested case hearing. Well, the rest is useless. Police can say whatever they like. They're not even under oath, and so on, which is a big mistake. And I have stated that everything, as far as I'm concerned, is public. I have no privileges. Then, I don't know if this is really your kuleana, so I have to apologize if it isn't. Now, my brief list is the following: - Forbid the use of hollow point bullets, which should be done under the Hague Convention of 1907. RAY: Henry, I really don't think those areas are under the purview of the ROSS: Pardon? RAY: Charter. don't think those are areas that are under the purview of the ROSS: I think it is. The County can make sub -rules to anything that it wants to. It says in the Charter itself. SANTANGELO: Mr. Chairman, personal privilege. Mr. Henry was taken out of order as a privilege to you, Henry. You have people sitting here who have been there for well over half an hour to 40 minutes, listening to you, and you're taking their time too. would ask that the Chair speed this up a little bit out of regard for other people. Henry, there's more to this government than just you, and you can give this to us. We understand you. ROSS: I'm already on my last page. SANTANGELO: Well, you've been saying that for about 15 minutes. ROSS: The time you are spending, telling me this, I could have finished. 11
