El Departamento de Policía de Oxnard quiere recordar a los automovilistas, Click It or Ticket. Para hacer cumplir este recordatorio, comenzando el lunes, 19 de mayo, oficiales se unirán en el 2014 national seat belt enforcement mobilization and cracking down on motorists who are not belted.

Even with a seatbelt usage rate of 97.4 por ciento, California still has 800,000 or more who aren’t buckling up. In a crash, they stand a 50 percent greater chance of being killed than those who have taken the two seconds to buckle in. In an on-going effort to reach those remaining safety hold-outs, policía, sheriff and the California Highway Patrol (CHP) departments across the state will be taking part in Click It or Ticket from May 19 hasta junio 1.

“The approaching Memorial Day weekend kicks off summer vacation season and we want to ensure that everyone arrives at their destination safe and sound,” said Brian Woolley, Traffic Sergeant for the Oxnard Police Department. “If motorists fail to follow the rules of the road, including not buckling up, they will be ticketed. Seat belts save lives!”

According to new data released from the Department of Transportation’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), fatalities are up nationwide for the first time in five years. En 2012, 10,335 people who were killed in motor vehicle crashes were not wearing their seat belts. NHTSA data also details how more traffic vehicle deaths occur at night. En 2012, 61 percent of passenger vehicle occupants killed during the nighttime hours of 6:00 p.m. - 5:59 a.m. were not wearing their seat belts.

“Wearing a seat belt is one of the easiest and best things you can do to protect yourself in the event of a car crash,” said Rhonda Craft, Director of the California Office of Traffics Safety. “Taking a few moments to properly secure yourself and all your passengers before going on your way could mean the difference between life and death.”

The cost for a seat belt violation in California for unbuckled vehicle occupants over age 16 is a minimum of $161 para un primer delito. The penalty fees for failing to properly buckle up any child under the age of 16 is a minimum $490 per child for a first offense, plus a violation point will be added to the driver’s record. If the parent is not in the car, the driver gets the ticket.

DETALLES:
En 5-28-14, en alrededor 4:30PM, Detectives del Equipo de Narcóticos de la Calle del Departamento de Policía de Oxnard junto con el Departamento de Libertad Condicional respondieron a una residencia en el 400 bloque del Sur G Street. As they proceeded to the residence from the alley, they recognized one of the occupants in the rear yard as Paul Torres and knew that he had an outstanding felony warrant. The officers attempted to contact Torres who then ran into the garage of the residence. Moments later, Torres emerged from the garage and was taken into custody. The officers also contacted suspect Jose Petris who was hiding in the garage along with a 15 year old female juvenile who was a reported runaway from Camarillo.

Officers searched the garage and located a discarded semi-automatic handgun. Torres was later arrested for being a prohibited person in possession of that firearm. Petris was arrested for narcotic violations and the female was later returned to a responsible party.

Torres is currently in the Post Release Offender Program, creado por Bill Bill 109 - el 2011 Realineamiento de la seguridad pública, que entró en vigencia en octubre 1, 2011. Este programa exige que las personas condenadas a no violenta, no serio (independientemente de los antecedentes) o delitos no sexuales cumplirán sus condenas en las cárceles del condado en lugar de la prisión estatal. El público debe saber que la divulgación bajo AB 109 se basa en el delito más reciente del infractor. Las condenas previas son no considerado.

In an effort to address the recent increase in firearms-related crimes, Oxnard Police launched the Operation Safer and Stronger Initiative, as well as the Firearms Strike Team (RÁPIDO) liderado por la Unidad de Crímenes Violentos, to proactively remove firearms from prohibited persons within the city. The objective of the initiative and FAST is to reduce gun violence in Oxnard through education, intervention, and enforcement.

Persons with additional information are encouraged to call the Violent Crimes Hotline at (805) 982-7070, o póngase en contacto con el condado de Ventura a Crime Stoppers al (800) 222-8477.
