:wtf
Ok, so a lil background here. In Napa there is the crazy dude that has a public access show and last year, for some reason, was filming outside the houses of three local PD officers at which time he also was filmed with weapons and heard saying "Death be my master, guns be my wife."
Well, the officers all were quite concerned when they were notifyed that their houses were on this show. So, they filed for a restraining order and it is currently being upheld. Apparently, he didnt like that, so he went back to court and the judge ruled that Napa Police officers homes are also workplaces and this guy now wants to publish all local LEO's addresses as a supposed service to the community in the event of an emergency.
I have never heard of such a thing, either by the judge or the loony that wants to publish these officers addresses.
What say you, oh wonderful LEOs of BARF ??? Is this common knowledge or something crazy ??
This is the dudes letter to the editor and the article regarding the TRO.

Providing info, to the public

Dear editor,
The recent decision by Napa County Court Commissioner Langhorne-Johnson to rule that the homes of Napa police officers, and by implication the homes of other California police officers, are considered to be workplaces has provided valuable information about how to obtain guidance and assistance in the event of any emergency.
In the future, we at Jarvis Journal on pubic access television will provide public service announcements, telephone book inserts, refrigerator magnets, television programs and Internet clips of the areas of the city and county where these officers reside.
Many times during an emergency, access to law enforcement facilities is denied because of natural and man-made obstacles. We intend to assist the public in finding the quickest and most convenient route to these satellite police facilities, or SPFs. Whether it be Flagstone to the west, Stonebridge to the east, Los Carneros to the south, or Headlands Drive to the north, we believe that it is our civic duty to provide instant information to the public at large.
Tune in to the Jarvis Journal on Fridays, at 10 p.m., or join us at napaisburning.com for additional information during the coming weeks.

A Napa public access television host who stirred controversy by filming his program outside the home of Napa Police officers and displaying weapons on camera must stay 100 yards from the officers’ homes for the next three years, a Napa County Superior Court jurist ruled Wednesday.
Commissioner Monique Langhorne-Johnson issued a restraining order against Jarvis Peay, host of “Jarvis Journal” on Channel 28. Langhorne-Johnson said Peay is a threat to Napa Sergeants Debbie Peecook, Tim Cantillon and retired peace officer Rudy Ornelas.
The restraining order is effective immediately.
Peay, who represented himself at the hearing Wednesday, declined comment on the decision.
The controversy started in November, when Peay videotaped the houses of Peecook, Cantillon and Ornelas for his program, which aired multiple times during the month. In addition to giving viewers the street addresses of the officers, the program depicted Peay with a display of firearms. He repeatedly used the phrase, “Death be my master, guns be my wife.”
In December, a temporary restraining order was issued to keep Peay from going near the officers or their homes.
Back in court Wednesday, Peay argued he had no malice toward anyone in the Napa Police Department and that the show was not meant to be threatening.
“I never had the intention of scaring anyone,” Peay told the court. “I live in this community.”
“I have to work with these people everyday” Peay told the judge. “I never showed any weapons that were threatening.”
Napa City Attorney David Jones said Peay’s conduct was threatening to the officers involved.
“They were singled out,” Jones said. “They were targeted because of the duties they are assigned within the department.”
In an interview, Peecook said Peay’s videotaping of her home was very disturbing. “I felt scared for myself and my family. He intimidated me,” Peecook said.
Cantillon said he is comfortable with Langhorne-Johnson’s ruling.
“I am all for free speech. If Mr. Jarvis wants to stand on the corner of Jefferson and Lincoln avenues, he has the right to say anything he wants. But I also have the right to privacy at my home, and my family does, as well,” Cantillon said. “I am very pleased with the judge’s ruling today. I appreciate her fairness on this issue.”
Napa Police Chief Rich Melton said he is pleased with the court’s ruling.
“I think officers and their families have a right to privacy in their own homes. I don’t want to think just because they are police officers they are in any type of jeopardy,” Melton said. “I fully support the court’s ruling.”
Peay has said in the past that the videotaping is protected by the First Amendment and he was acting as a journalist.
Peay said he has filed several complaints of unprofessional officer conduct over the years against Napa Police and the Napa County Sheriff’s Department. In 2002 he accused police of harassing him in the investigation of a theft from his vehicle.
