He co-founded the \u003ca href=\"https://projects.scpr.org/california-reporting-project/\">California Reporting Project\u003c/a> in 2019 to obtain and report on previously confidential police internal investigations.

Murrow award for several years of \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11688481/sfpd-officers-in-mario-woods-case-recount-shooting-in-newly-filed-depositions\">reporting\u003c/a> on the San Francisco Police shooting of Mario Woods.

Do a little reading, do a little writing. There’s not much to do, really.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Campos is one of two SHU inmates who agreed to be recorded. His cell is filled with books. He said the library is too small, but he likes to stick to nonfiction and history. The best book he's read lately? A biography of \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hannibal\">Hannibal\u003c/a>, the Carthaginian general who marched his elephants over the Alps to take on the Romans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He credits his schedule and reading for keeping him sane, but said, “I’ve seen some people go paranoid. They’ve lost their minds over (long-term isolation housing). They get really messed up.” He took part in this summer’s hunger strike, but only lasted 10 days.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You go through the mood swings” during fasts, he said. “You get frustrated, you go through all those things. When you get to the ninth, tenth day, you start to feel real, real bad.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Campos has his books. Another inmate on the SHU showed me drawings he's done of national parks and lighthouses. This is the sort of stimulation warden Ron Barnes pointed to when he was asked about the accusation that Pelican Bay’s SHU amounts to torture.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The inmates have TVs, radios,” he said. “They’re able to find out what’s going on in the outside world.

The state is keeping alleged gang leaders in an isolated wing of an isolated prison, but officials say they’re still able to direct gang operations on the streets and even coordinate a statewide hunger strike.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pelican Bay Associate Director Ralph Diaz says, “I don’t see anything further that we can do other than continue with our gang suppression, gang intelligence and gang tracking, which Pelican Bay does real well at.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Pelican Bay staff showed reporters \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2013/09/17/111570/secret-letter-from-mexican-mafia-gang-leader-to-la-street-gangs\">the orders gang leaders sneak out of the SHU\u003c/a>. Stopping those messages would require even more isolation, and the state is already under fire for its current approach. In fact, last week a federal judge set a trial date for \u003ca href=\"http://www.scribd.com/doc/127065819/Ruiz-Amended-Complaint-May-31-2012\">a lawsuit alleging conditions there violate the Constitution\u003c/a> and amount to psychological torture.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Do a little reading, do a little writing. There’s not much to do, really.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Campos is one of two SHU inmates who agreed to be recorded. His cell is filled with books. He said the library is too small, but he likes to stick to nonfiction and history. The best book he's read lately? A biography of \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hannibal\">Hannibal\u003c/a>, the Carthaginian general who marched his elephants over the Alps to take on the Romans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He credits his schedule and reading for keeping him sane, but said, “I’ve seen some people go paranoid. They’ve lost their minds over (long-term isolation housing). They get really messed up.” He took part in this summer’s hunger strike, but only lasted 10 days.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You go through the mood swings” during fasts, he said. “You get frustrated, you go through all those things. When you get to the ninth, tenth day, you start to feel real, real bad.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Campos has his books. Another inmate on the SHU showed me drawings he's done of national parks and lighthouses. This is the sort of stimulation warden Ron Barnes pointed to when he was asked about the accusation that Pelican Bay’s SHU amounts to torture.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The inmates have TVs, radios,” he said. “They’re able to find out what’s going on in the outside world. They have all kinds of ways of communicating.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The SHU Doesn’t Stop Communication\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_111608\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 300px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-111608\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2013/09/kite-300x168.jpg\" alt=\"A note that was written on a small scrap of paper known as a kite, smuggled out of prison and then recopied in larger print, lays out specific rules for Mexican Mafia members on the street.\" width=\"300\" height=\"168\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A note that was written on a small scrap of paper known as a kite, smuggled out of prison and then recopied in larger print, lays out specific rules for Mexican Mafia members on the street.\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>And that’s a problem — at least as far as law enforcement is concerned.

Stopping those messages would require even more isolation, and the state is already under fire for its current approach. In fact, last week a federal judge set a trial date for \u003ca href=\"http://www.scribd.com/doc/127065819/Ruiz-Amended-Complaint-May-31-2012\">a lawsuit alleging conditions there violate the Constitution\u003c/a> and amount to psychological torture.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Nevertheless, the 40-year-old software engineer is outraged about the price of the ticket: $490, plus an additional $59 for traffic school.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s one thing if I was barreling through, but you can see my brake lights all the way through,” he said after viewing the video. “I expected it to be $100, $150 at most for the infraction.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Like Neal, many of the more than 6 million California drivers who get tickets each year experience sticker shock. State records show that traffic citation fines have skyrocketed over the last decade, with some common infractions now costing close to $500.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Running a red light, currently $490, cost $340 in 2003 and $103 in 1993, according to the Judicial Council of California, which sets fines for traffic offenses. A ticket for rolling through a stop sign costs $238; a decade ago, it was $130. Speeding up to 15 mph over the limit also comes with a $238 price tag -- more than eight times what it cost in 1993. And traffic school can add $60.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oddly, the base fine for most violations has remained the same for the last 20 years. The growth in fines is due to add-ons known as penalty assessments. These fees are tacked on to citations, with the money earmarked for projects ranging from court construction to DNA research for solving crimes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Viewed separately, each assessment might not seem particularly onerous, but the penalties add up. About a decade ago, there was one penalty assessment. Now, there are 10 -- and total fines average four or five times the amount of the base fine. \u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The soaring fines don’t seem to have encouraged Californians to become better drivers. Each year, between 26 and 30 percent of drivers get a traffic citation, records show. But the high price of a ticket has led many traffic offenders to plead not guilty and contest their tickets in court, hoping to have them dismissed or reduced.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Derick Neal’s ticket\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\nBase fine: $100\u003cbr>\nState penalty assessment: $100\u003cbr>\nCounty penalty assessment: $70\u003cbr>\nDNA identification fund: $50\u003cbr>\nCourt construction: $50\u003cbr>\nState surcharge: $20\u003cbr>\nEmergency medical services: $20\u003cbr>\nEmergency medical air transportation: $4\u003cbr>\nCourt operations: $40\u003cbr>\nConviction assessment: $35\u003cbr>\nNight court: $1\u003cbr>\nTotal ticket: $490\u003cbr>\nTraffic school: $59\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Total cost: $549\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>In 2003, about 196,000 traffic citations were disputed in California courts, according to Judicial Council statistics. That was 4.5 percent of the total issued. By 2011, that number had nearly doubled to 383,000, 7.1 percent of all the citations issued.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Advocates say the increased fines are especially hard on the working class.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you’re a single parent barely making it, one of those (red-light) tickets could really set you back,” said Shane Gusman, legislative representative for the California Teamsters union. “I think folks are doing the math and hoping that it will get dismissed if the officer doesn’t show up. I know our drivers are doing that calculation.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some traffic court judges offer community service, rather than fines, to those who plead guilty. Gusman says this isn’t much help for many people. At the community service rate of $10 an hour, it would take 49 hours to pay off a red-light violation ticket.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The courts don’t track whether they are losing revenue because more motorists are fighting their tickets. But some courts around the state are struggling to handle the influx of people contesting tickets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trial dates are backed up in San Diego County, where the number of motorists contesting tickets has doubled in a decade, said court spokeswoman Karen Dalton. The current wait is six months.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those accused of traffic violations in Los Angeles County have been facing waits of nine months or more for a hearing, said court spokeswoman Mary Hearn. But it’s about to get worse. Recently, courts underwent their third round of layoffs in four years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“With the changes our court was forced to make in the past few months, I expect those numbers will again increase dramatically,” Hearn said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Derick Neal pleaded not guilty on his red-light violation and went to court in Oakland this month. He was found guilty and must pay the full fine.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">Experts say there is little chance penalty assessments will stop increasing because it’s an attractive source of revenue for government.\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Some courts offer discounts to motorists who plead guilty rather than fight their tickets. At the San Francisco Hall of Justice on a recent day, a court officer offered deals to about 80 people who had shown up to dispute their tickets. Motorists could pay $285 to settle any ticket of $400 or more, the officer said, and tickets of less than $400 could be settled for $178.

A ticket for rolling through a stop sign costs $238; a decade ago, it was $130. Speeding up to 15 mph over the limit also comes with a $238 price tag -- more than eight times what it cost in 1993. And traffic school can add $60.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oddly, the base fine for most violations has remained the same for the last 20 years. The growth in fines is due to add-ons known as penalty assessments. These fees are tacked on to citations, with the money earmarked for projects ranging from court construction to DNA research for solving crimes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Viewed separately, each assessment might not seem particularly onerous, but the penalties add up. About a decade ago, there was one penalty assessment. Now, there are 10 -- and total fines average four or five times the amount of the base fine. \u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The soaring fines don’t seem to have encouraged Californians to become better drivers. Each year, between 26 and 30 percent of drivers get a traffic citation, records show. But the high price of a ticket has led many traffic offenders to plead not guilty and contest their tickets in court, hoping to have them dismissed or reduced.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Derick Neal’s ticket\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\nBase fine: $100\u003cbr>\nState penalty assessment: $100\u003cbr>\nCounty penalty assessment: $70\u003cbr>\nDNA identification fund: $50\u003cbr>\nCourt construction: $50\u003cbr>\nState surcharge: $20\u003cbr>\nEmergency medical services: $20\u003cbr>\nEmergency medical air transportation: $4\u003cbr>\nCourt operations: $40\u003cbr>\nConviction assessment: $35\u003cbr>\nNight court: $1\u003cbr>\nTotal ticket: $490\u003cbr>\nTraffic school: $59\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Total cost: $549\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>In 2003, about 196,000 traffic citations were disputed in California courts, according to Judicial Council statistics. That was 4.5 percent of the total issued. By 2011, that number had nearly doubled to 383,000, 7.1 percent of all the citations issued.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Advocates say the increased fines are especially hard on the working class.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you’re a single parent barely making it, one of those (red-light) tickets could really set you back,” said Shane Gusman, legislative representative for the California Teamsters union. “I think folks are doing the math and hoping that it will get dismissed if the officer doesn’t show up. I know our drivers are doing that calculation.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some traffic court judges offer community service, rather than fines, to those who plead guilty. Gusman says this isn’t much help for many people. At the community service rate of $10 an hour, it would take 49 hours to pay off a red-light violation ticket.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The courts don’t track whether they are losing revenue because more motorists are fighting their tickets. But some courts around the state are struggling to handle the influx of people contesting tickets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trial dates are backed up in San Diego County, where the number of motorists contesting tickets has doubled in a decade, said court spokeswoman Karen Dalton. The current wait is six months.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those accused of traffic violations in Los Angeles County have been facing waits of nine months or more for a hearing, said court spokeswoman Mary Hearn. But it’s about to get worse. Recently, courts underwent their third round of layoffs in four years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“With the changes our court was forced to make in the past few months, I expect those numbers will again increase dramatically,” Hearn said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Derick Neal pleaded not guilty on his red-light violation and went to court in Oakland this month. He was found guilty and must pay the full fine.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">Experts say there is little chance penalty assessments will stop increasing because it’s an attractive source of revenue for government.\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Some courts offer discounts to motorists who plead guilty rather than fight their tickets. At the San Francisco Hall of Justice on a recent day, a court officer offered deals to about 80 people who had shown up to dispute their tickets. Motorists could pay $285 to settle any ticket of $400 or more, the officer said, and tickets of less than $400 could be settled for $178. If motorists went to trial and lost, they would pay the full fine, the officer warned.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But there was no such clemency across the bay in Oakland at the Wiley W.
