COURTS SHOULD SEND MESSAGE TO COUNTY

Reading your story of Deputy Mark Potts, and the suppression of his
First Amendment rights by Trinity County, I was shocked and amazed by
the actions of his superiors. His thoughtful constitutional
interpretations on firearms, drugs, and county sheriff's jurisdiction
should be welcome in a free country such as this.

I'd hope that he wins declaratory and injunctive relief, as well as
punitive damages from Trinity County. Trinity needs a sting to make
the message real.

Surely the county can ill afford more bills, but we the people can ill
afford any incursions into our core beliefs.
