It appears that the first ticket was not a fluke. According to the deputies on Jan 9th 9am and today (Feb 25, 11am), I am trespassing in the park because I am homeless. Also, according to the deputies, I am not allowed to use the facilities of the park, including the power (which the City of Santee Community services says is publicly available) because I am homeless.
I couldn't believe the deputy actually said that to me today while the cameras were on. But the status of homeless in Santee, from their perspective, is one of criminal and without even basic human rights.
Anyway, now that the deputies have confirmed this for me, my next step is to the ACLU. I'll be posting the digital video and MP3 Pod in a while (probably tomorrow) for your enlightenment, and I'll post what the ACLU tells me when I contact them in the morning.

I heard this joke on showtime with comedian Paul Mooney. A mother is baking a cake and her little boy takes some chocolate icing and spreads it on his face, "look I'm black", he says and his mother beats him and send him to his father. His father beats him and send him to his granfather how also thrashes him and sends him back to his mother. "now what did you learn?", mother asks." I've been black for five minutes and already I hate you Muthers," the boy replies.
I'm the guy that spoke with you at the Sunday Mens meeting. I'll keep you in my prayers.
Thanks Larry for the Comments. I like the joke.
Here's a Steven Wright joke, the Federal Government hired someone to find out who built the pyrimids. Millions of dollars and years of research later they got their answer."I'm pretty sure it was a Cat named Eddie"
