Arpaio refuses to show his documents

And the "delicious irony" series continues…

Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio is one of the most ardent supporters of the Fourth Amendment-overriding SB1070, the new law in Arizona that requires folks to produce documents proving citizenship/legal presence in the U.S. whenever a law enforcement officer demands that they do so.

Turns out he isn't so enthusiastic about the production of documents when he's the one expected to produce them.

From the Arizona Republic –

The Maricopa County Sheriff's Office on Friday refused to turn over financial documents the Board of Supervisors requested in a subpoena, saying officials were abusing their power.

The supervisors served the subpoena last month seeking documents dating from Jan. 1, 2005, including credit-card transactions, work assignments, a list of all detainees or defendants extradited by the office, expenditures from various funds and a complete list of all bank accounts.

BTW – "delicious irony" is a euphemism for "raging hypocrisy."

Just in case you didn't figure that one out on your own… 🙂

  1. Just another witch hunt by politicans whom are trying to apease those in power as well as trying to be political correct. I commend this Sheriff he is ENFORCING the laws as written. That is his oath, as well as those whom are elected. TO UP HOLD THE LAWS, AND THE CONSTITUTION BOTH STATE AND FEDERAL. But these Alinsky followers are so wrapped into disrupting was well as destroying this country. Now that defies logic as well as common sense. If these followers of Saul Alinsky hate this country then why even live here? The rantings and the rhetoric of these individuals are so far left then why stay here.
    As with this law, the rules of radicals (eg: alinsky) will promote hate, discord, and disruption; further more they will make attempts as to discredit to ridicule those who they oppose.
    As with the present instance here of the Sheriff, it is all about to discredit him. HE IS AN ELECTED OFFICIAL and he is doing his sworn job as proscribed by the Arizona statutes.

    MEXICANS, LATINOS, HISPANIC ARE NOT NOT NOT ANY KIND OF RACE, IT IS ETHNICITY CULTURE, so why are the up roar abut race. AGAIN it is to discredit those opposing the rule of law.

    The majority of these race (sic0 rallies are being promoted and organized by the big unions, SEIU, AFL-CIO, AND others.

    SO IF U ARE A TRUE AMERICAN GO DEEP

    STAND FIRM
    QUESTION WITH AUTHORITY
    DO NOT BACK DOWN
    AND USE COMMON SENSE
