Last year before my business closed, I had some customers break in and steal their car and our work into it. They also went thru my office and stole checks, and my identification. The courts in Rapid City did nothing, I brought a case against them in Small claims and the judge dismissed both parts of it and would not let me speak of the cashed stolen checks. I filled out the proper paperwork at my bank of the checks that I found out about and turned that in to Check rite which forwarded it on to the parties that received them but in Deadwood that is not enough. All the other places honored the paperwork on the forged checks.
First Gold Casino sent the stuff to the DEADWOOD sheriffs office to prosecute me, for the stolen checks. The casino's are allowed to steal from everyone that walks into their building but they will not loose a dime and will prosecute anyone they can make pay for any losses. They do no credit checks and the people were able to write 800 dollars worth of checks at First Gold. I am sure they could have written more than that amount and they would probably have let them. The casino's do not worry about it as they own the courts and the sherriffs office. Just look at all the additions to the sherriffs department and the court house since the casino's took over the town. The people call the cops in deadwood, the deadwood dicks for a reason.
Do not get caught up in this court system as it is one of the most corrupt in our state. For many of the people the ransom/bail is set over 2500 and for many they will not reduce it. ...There was a case of a young girl who was with her mother when her mother stole something from Walmart (spearfish, sd) … so the charge was abetting, she was ordered to pay a 500 dollar fine, pay 11.66 in restitution and attend a re-education class in critical thinking. She did not do anything but did not stop her mother from stealing an eleven dollar item. What about all the jobs and the destruction to our economy that Walmart has caused and that’s why she must be re-educated in the proper thinking that Walmart is good.
And some of the other cases also makes you shake your head and see how much the courts profit from the bad economy and people that get desperate and do things they normally would not do.
The public defenders office is complicit in this system and both sides profit. Their job is to get you to come to an agreement to something. The attorney I had, had to audacity of claiming I was guilty and having never heard all the facts that I could have provided to his office. The casino never provided any video of the people that wrote the checks, all they had was the returned checks on an old closed account that I no longer used. His solution was to pay the casino and they would dismiss the case and then later they refused that when I had the funds and changed their offer to charging me with a misdemeaner. By that time this guy had screwed up everything so bad that I was forced to take this deal and get this damn county out of my life. It took me over a year to get this over with. If you ever have to take a court appointed attorney get one that is outside the public defenders office as they are not quite as bad and will usually work more on your behalf. I wanted to go to court but this county is so corrupt that I would not have gotten a fair trial. So bikers keep your money in your pocket, ride the hills and avoid this town. I personally recommend Hill City, SD and Hulett, WY are much better rides and better people to deal with and less troubles that will not ruin your vacation.
This town wants to be a little Las Vegas, and they are not. I want to know where they bury the bodies if they are a little Las Vegas. Well I think they let the courts do that for them...LOL.
