Flight Logs of Sheriff’s Helicopter Raise Questions of Appropriate Use https://www.sanjoseinside.com/the-fly/who-flew-flight-logs-of-sheriffs-helicopter-raise-questions-of-appropriate-use/ A look inside San Jose politics and culture Tue, 10 Aug 2021 15:13:10 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=5.6.12 By: Justin https://www.sanjoseinside.com/the-fly/who-flew-flight-logs-of-sheriffs-helicopter-raise-questions-of-appropriate-use/#comment-1705178 Tue, 10 Aug 2021 15:13:10 +0000 https://www.sanjoseinside.com/?p=201188406#comment-1705178 Santa Clara City does not have a chopper and San Jose PD seems to love flying all over the Rose Garden area for minor or lackluster reasons?

What thresholds are in place for the use of Helicopters by San Jose? What is the cost-benefit analysis? Fuel waste? Pollution (noise, air, etc). Seems like an expensive toy that they pull out whenever they want often waking neighborhoods in the middle of the night. Dozens of times have had to spend an hour getting the toddler back to sleep because of an hour of circling and for what?

Disappointing tabloid stuff this time around. Almost amateur YouTube type of stuff.

I am wondering if the comments above are going to be retracted? Now that the sheriff has provided the information, are you willing to retract your comments?

The original piece, before the sheriff provided information, read more like an opposition candidate’s campaign hit piece then a news article. The silly season (elections) must be arriving. Can we expect a “progressive candidate“ to soon announce, in the San Jose inside, his/her/they/them/their (or whatever) run for sheriff?

This entire article was a set up to slander the office of the Sheriff.

We provided flight logs YEARS so now showing she was using her helicopter too give her friends joy rides. Y’all didn’t give a didn’t single hot damn. And I’m guessing you’re still screening my comments too. We’ll see.

Not a big surprise from someone owes her wings to identity politics.

Very bad optics. Like a lot of political jobs, I think Smith has an out of control ego and bad judgment. Public service, right…
