Freedom And Liberty Are A Personal Matter – Ragardless Of Who Is In Office
Dear Mayor Love,
Those who support the constitution and are against checkpoints are not FOR Drunk Driving.
We are FOR Civil Liberties and the protection of individual rights.
I have seen checkpoints in other states but never to the degree that was seen Saturday night.
(Even small checkpoints are unconstitutional)
It took nearly 40 minutes to get from Bluffdale to Harvest Hills.
The flood lights, generators, and level of police presence was shocking and alarming.
Are you sure you support the constitution – IN ITS ENTIRETY?
Or are you one of those who is willing to rob us of a large portion of our Liberties in the name of providing a small level of security?
Saratoga’s Police checkpoint is both a violation of the constitution and a waste of resources that could be used to clean up the city’s own weeds.
Sincerely
Frank Townsman

I checked into this and found out that the check point was conducted by the Lehi PD.
It seems to me that you have a problem with me personally. I don’t know why. I haven’t meet you or done anything to my knowledge that would offend you.
I am as I said very conservative and am also a 9/12 member. I took on this job so I can serve. I will start making 820 a month and that doesn’t even cover my out of pocket cost.
The first I’ve heard of a major outside of the Peltekian problem was the letter to sent to me in the media last week. The email was in my opinion, hostile and threatening. I don’t repository well to either. I was disappointed that a fellow conservative would have taken such a stand without first offering an opportunity to discuss the problem.
I am however going to find a system that would allow the residents have an outlet to discuss police issues and make recommendations to the council about police behavior, by creating a Citizens PD Review Commitee.
I am asking you to please try and respectfully work with me through these problems and get the coucil involved. I do not have a vote so I can’t do a thing without the council approvals.
Sincerely,
Mia B. Love

Dear Mayor Love
It Is Absolutely Nothing Personal..
We are sorry you have you have personalized it.
This is about Liberty and Freedom and whether or not government is aimed to serve or to harass the people of Saratoga Springs.
Many Saratoga Springs citizens feel as though local government is out to gouge them for a buck at every turn.
As the mayor you are The Boss – correct?
When the people have a question or a concern, they go to the Boss.
Saying that we intend to demonstrate publicly or to vote you out if you ignore what the people perceive to be a problem is part of our constitutional right.
This is not a personal threat to you – it is a promise to exercise our constitutional rights as citizens of the United States of America to assemble and to vote.
You of all people as a servant of the people should be pleased that we have taken action.
You see, this is a major issue we face currently in local, state and federal government – which we hope you are well aware of. Government does not listen to the people.
This shouldn’t hurt your feelings.
But we are glad we have your attention.
By the way, may we remind you that this (and your compensation no matter how big or small) is what you signed up for when you ran for office.
And FYI The Checkpoint was on Redwood Road between Bluffdale and Saratoga Springs, which is believed by most citizens to be Saratoga Springs Jurisdiction as Lehi PD NEVER Patrols that area as does Saratoga Springs PD.
and with the Bluffdale Saratoga Springs merge it is easy to understand why people would believe such to be the case.
This could have been easily prevented by A: Notifying the public and B: Simply abiding by the constitution.
We are preparing a list of issues that we would like to have you look into and will offer a response to your first letter of response to keep the main dialogue open.
We are taking time to conduct in independent investigation of the issues currently plaguing our community.
We will present our findings to you in a constructive and helpful manner.
We also plan to schedule an open forum and will do so soon.
We look forward to working together.
Respectfully
Frank Townsman

P.S.
We are genuinely concerned for the safety of those who plan to use The Saratoga Springs Rescue Boat on Utah Lake.
It is too small to be safe on Utah Lake in any amount of wind.
It will endanger those who intend to use it and will also take too long to deploy to be of any service.
In short – it was in our opinion a waste of money.
