New Mexico Security Blog by Robb Hamic

We are working on a ton of information, stories and video.

It hasn't exactly been slow because of the reduced amount of posts... We are very busy working sources of information, leads and hilarious video...

Another New Mexico court case supporting BLOGGER'S rights...

Albuquerque, NM- March 25, 2009--     A new NM case was decided upholding rights of internet content providers and bloggers recently.  Of course there is a ton of law out there and OF COURSE truth is an absolute defense to anyone making an accusation of slander or libel.  Some people have always wanted to stop the New Mexico Security Blog or publish "opinion" blogs with no supporting facts or information to confuse the public and or industry employees.  Obviously, it hasn't worked...

Security employees have always been apprehensive to contact me or others responsible for this blog because they felt that that their employer might fire and or sue them when they provided information about illegal or unethical activities of some of New Mexico's worst companies.  Eventually, we have been contacted by these people and provided with much information... This information has helpful and it has made an impact.  Please continue to contact us and send the information that is in your control.

WOODHULL v. MEINEL

ANGELA VICTORIA WOODHULL, Ph.D.,

Plaintiff-Appellant,

v.

CAROLYN MEINEL, Defendant-Appellee.

No. 27,959.

Court of Appeals of New Mexico.

October 24, 2008

Appeal from the District Court of Bernalillo County

Valerie M. Huling, District Judge.

Angela Victoria Woodhull, Ph.D., Gainesville, FL, Pro

Se Appellant.

Bannerman & Williams, PA, Bryan J. Davis,

Albuquerque, NM, for Appellee.

OPINION

BUSTAMANTE, Judge.

{1} Angela V. Woodhull, Ph.D. (Plaintiff), acting pro

se, appeals the trial court's grant of summary judgment in

favor of Carolyn Meinel (Defendant). The trial court

ruled that the applicable New Mexico statute of

limitations and 47 U.S.C. § 230 (1998), the

Communications Decency Act of 1996 (CDA), both bar

Plaintiff's defamation claim. Plaintiff's appeal presents

the first opportunity for this Court to consider the statute

of limitations and CDA as they relate to Internet-based

defamation claims in New Mexico. We reverse the trial

court's grant of summary judgment and remand.

{2} Plaintiff also appeals the trial court's decision on

three other matters, including denial of her motion for

summary judgment, denial of her motion to sanction

defense counsel, and denial of her motion to amend her

civil complaint. Defendant argues that, while her motion

for summary judgment on the statute of limitations and

CDA was properly granted, her motion for summary

judgment on grounds that Plaintiff is not the real party in

interest was improperly denied. We do not consider any

of these matters because of procedural issues.

BACKGROUND

{3} Defendant operates the website

http://www.happyhacker.org. Plaintiff's defamation claim

is based on two instances of Defendant's posting

comments on her website about or relating to Plaintiff in

a section entitled "It Sucks to Be Me." On October 14,

2003, Defendant posted an email message from Plaintiff

entitled "Please contact me" and stating "I have a job for

you." Just below the email message Defendant posted her

own comments. Specifically, she stated that upon calling,

Plaintiff knowingly solicited her to commit a federal

crime by offering her the job of "breaking into a news

web site that had written something unflattering about

her."

CONCLUSION

{31} For the foregoing reasons, we reverse the trial

court's grant of summary judgment in favor of Defendant

on the statute of limitations and the CDA and remand for

further proceedings consistent with this opinion.

{32} IT IS SO ORDERED.

MICHAEL D. BUSTAMANTE, Judge

Legit Security manager's arrest update...

Albuquerque, NM-- March 20, 2009-- Legit Security manager arrested of carrying a firearm while intoxicated, Nathan Cox "AKA Baby Boy", sets his Myspace.com page to "private" after this blog posted his links... There was an interesting comment by Matt Hibben about him denying smoking "weed with Nathan Cox."  I found an interesting comment by a girl that seems to know Nathan Cox and offered to share some "weed" in February 2009.  He has now posted a different motto:

"dont let the past kill your future rise above the rest and let them take the fall."

Who knows where this crap came from but I have a good feeling that it was directed at me... The truth hurts.  Drug arrests, negligent use of a firearm charges and working in security as a manager don't mix--UNLESS you work for Legit Security of Albuquerque...  

This is insanity. When do these people take personal responsibility for anything? Legit Security managers plead NOT GUILTY as one admits to DWI in an "interview."

Albuquerque, NM- March 18, 2009     I try not to read the company advertisement blog for Legit Security as it is plagiarized and a ridiculous display of blogging...but... I did see the latest installment where Matthew Hibben was "interviewed" concerning his Aggravated DWI arrest in February.  Hibben is one of Legit Security's top managers.  Interestingly enough, there was no interview of Nathan Cox to answer for the arrest for possession of a firearm while intoxicated...

See the "interview" below and notice a couple of his statements.  He admits to drinking 1 beverage (LOL) but he was charged with Aggravated DWI, which means that he either tested at or above .16 BAC (many, many drinks) or he refused to take the test against the law and at the officer's request.  It is called "implied consent."  Either way, he pleads NOT GUILTY.  

Mathew Hibben:

"After being questioned by many people I have decided I need to tell my side of the story."

NMSC: "Is true that you were arrested on February 1, 2009 for DWI? "

MH: "Yes. I made a huge mistake that will haunt me and my family for many years. I regret my poor judgment that night by thinking one drink was okay, but I also know I can not change the past just the future. I have decided to join an AA group so the next time I even think to drink I have an escape. And with the love and support of my family and friends I have not had a sip of alcohol. I have invited Christ into my heart and with his help I will change all the wrongs in my life. I would like to sincerely apologize for any disappointment this has caused to anyone. I am very thankful no one was hurt.

Where did this question come from? I never made this accusation... 

NMSC: "Is it true that you and Nathan Cox smoke weed?"

MH: "Definitely not. I volunteered to take a drug test the day that statement was made. I have a family to support and I would not let drugs risk taking that away from me. As for the people that are making these statements please get your facts straight before you open your mouth about me and my life."

But since you brought it up- look at Nathan Cox's myspace page (lower right column)

Aggravated DWI

A charge of DWI will be enhanced to an aggravated DWI under the following circumstances:

1. You refused to submit to a breath or blood test after being requested to do so by a law enforcement officer;
2. You submitted to a breath or blood test and the results were higher than a .16.
3. You were involved in a DWI accident involving serious physical injuries.

The effect of an aggravated DWI charge is that it enhances the potential penalty that the court may impose after a conviction or plea, and typically involves a period of mandatory incarceration. For example, while a straight DWI first offense carries no mandatory jail time, a first offense aggravated charge carries a mandatory 48 hours incarceration. 

An aggravated DWI based upon a refusal will also increase your period of license revocation in an MVD proceeding from 6 months to one year. At this time, an aggravated charged based upon breath score or injuries does not increase your period of revocation in the MVD proceedings.

New Stalking statists released. Many clients are contacting me for anti-stalking or protection from stalkers.

Albuquerque, NM- March 14, 2009-- My firm provides personal protection, bodyguard work and we are providing an increasing number of services to women who are being stalked in Albuquerque.  As a former Sheriff's Detective, I have seen many stalking cases but this crime is increasing at an alarming rate and the newest study shows that 1 out of every 4 women in New Mexico will be stalked at least once!  Stalking is defined by NM law as 3 or more unwanted contacts by a person that has been "warned."

Women have options and resources when they are being stalked but they often say that they feel powerless to prevent it and a restraining order isn't much of a deterrent.  Summit Security & Investigation ® offers a unique service that we call Anti-Stalking that empowers our clients, prevents further violence, provides protection and documents the case for law enforcement prosecution.  This service is a blend of self-defense instruction, firearms training, Taser Training, bodyguard work and investigation.  Contact me if you are interested in learning more: robb@callsummit.com, visit our website or call our Albuquerque offices- 505-255-6063.

Bad guys are starting to use Taser devices against cops and security officers...

Private Officer.com news update

Bellevue, NE Mar 14 2009 - A wild attempted bank robbery in Bellevue Friday afternoon left a security officer injured and Tased while others are still scratching their heads.

Two men with attempted to rob the First National Bank on Pratt Avenue near Highway 75 and Cornhusker according to police but failed in their plan.

The strange robbery started as a burglary into the bank at around 7a.m. Friday morning. A worker at a nearby business saw two men bash a window at the bank and climb inside. The witness quickly called 911.  Once inside the bank, the men attacked a security officer. Police say that the men hit him on the head with a stun gun then used a taser on him. They also pulled a handgun and forced a clerk to open the vault.

Police said that numerous officers soon arrived on the scene and immediately gave foot chase to one of the men who had exited the bank. The second suspect was also quickly apprehended and taken into custody.  Police say the suspects were identified as 34-year-old Michael McCroy and 33-year-old Shannon Jackson, both of Omaha Nebraska . Police have charged both men with burglary, robbery, felony assault and weapon charges.  "The security officer was injured treated at the scene by the Bellvue Volunteer Fire Department according to a police report. He's a little shook up right now," said David Stukenholtz from Bellevue police.  Police said the taser used by the suspects on the security officer was real, but the gun was just a toy.

What would cause the state of New Mexico to immediately cancel its contracts with Legit Security?

 

Santa Fe, NM-- March 14, 2009

It was no secret that Legit Security had state contracts and they made posts on their blog about receiving 98% approval ratings from the state (sell below) but why were they immediately fired from all of their state contracts?

I remember one National Guard Veteran and former Legit Security employee that was left unpaid who made complaints to the State..

There must be a thousand reasons why the state would do this...

At least the state isn't fooled with all of the smoke and mirrors that is perpetrated by those guys...

Legit Security is honored by the state with a 98.9% satisfaction survey

Hmmm.....

Legit Security managers are arrested. Nathan Cox and Matthew Hibben are arrested on February 1, 2009.

Albuquerque, NM-- March 13, 2009 Two current Legit Security top managers have been arrested on February 1, 2009 by Albuquerque Police Officers.  This arrest came at 2:30 AM at 9200 Eagle Ranch Rd in Albuquerque.  It appears that Matthew Hibben was driving and got pulled over for failure to maintain lane (a classic sign if intoxicated driving).  He was arrested and ultimately tested above .16 BAC to sustain an Aggravated DWI charge and no Driver's License Charge.  

Nathan Cox, riding passenger was arrested for Carrying a Firearm under Intoxication and Negligent use of a firearm.  Some readers may recall a story that this blog published about Nathan Cox being previously arrested for Felony drug charges.  He plead guilty to some charges and they were deferred after his probation.  He underwent substance abuse counseling.   

I received an e-mail from a Legit Security employee to was dismayed that Nathan Cox was promoted to "Deputy Chief" of the illustrious Legit Security Company by Gil Baca.  Hmm... Matthew Hibben is the "Chief" of Legit Security.  Both of these individuals are licensed by the state of New Mexico as Level 3 guards, approved to carry firearms, while on duty.  

This Legit Security employee was frustrated with the situation and the fact that these top managers were arrested and discredited his position as security officer.  I know that Legit Security officers have pictures with APD's Chief Ray Schultz on their website. This is an interesting development and surprisingly, it appears that neither of these men were able to enjoy a Superbowl party!  Hopefully there was a TV in jail...

Republished- another unlicensed security company story by Jeremy Jojola of KOB Channel 4 news.

Jeremy Jojola did a story about unlicensed security companies in Albuquerque. He conducted an interview of me and I worked with him on the story. It is funny. Check it out. NM RLD has done nothing about this complaint.

Republished- KOB Channel 4's Top story is about unlicensed security- again...

Albuquerque security has taken a turn for the worse! George Davis, arrested two nights ago, still has his guards working as of today in the afternoon. We documented his guard providing armed "security" while hiding from our cameras inside a convenience store last night. Today, we documented his guard providing armed security at a Albuquerque Footlocker shoe store- Armed and unlicensed. We learned that the Bernalillo County Sheriff's Department has warned Davis and his employees that if they are caught providing any security- any and all guards will be arrested. This seems pretty clear to me but I have a feeling that there will be another story tomorrow for some reason... Watch the Channel 4 KOB TV story. I am glad that Jeremy Jojola didn't get hurt while trying to report this story. A relative of Davis was threatening Jeremy on camera and I thought the guy was going to lose it... That just goes to show you that security is a dangerous business. Peter St. Cyr has been running stories all day on this topic on 770 KKOB and I know that there are more tomorrow so tune in. KOB TV story- National Security still operating illegally! I thought someone was playing a joke on me today when I received a certified letter from National Security. Download DavisCADltr.pdf It wasn't a joke but it was still funny in its own way. As you will see, George Davis, Mary Benavidez, William Davis, Charles McNair and Patricia Ohler wrote this letter to me. It was titled : Cease and Desist. Hmmm. They say that I have made false statements about them and placed pictures of their officers on the NM Security blog. He states the following:

- the blog states "Mr. Davis has attempted to sue the NM PI Board unsuccessfully" this is a totally false statement. - "the NM PI Board, RLD and law enforcement have been looking or him for a long time" this is not a true fact... - "they are defrauding security consumers by holding themselves to be a licensed company.." Our customers have been advised we are in court... - They state that they can't locate the civil case where Davis was sued for Extortion among other things.

These people give me 24 hours to remove various items from my blog or else... I guess that the truth doesn't matter to these people. I wonder if they also gave the Sheriff's Department a Cease and Desist letter advising them not to arrest their officers tonight if they are on duty, unlicensed, illegal and armed? Did they give the news media a Cease and Desist? I guess not. I found some more stuff about Mr Davis that may be interesting to my readers.

Please remember that Mr. Davis had a license until 2005...I HAVE REVIEWED ALL OF THIS INFORMATION, WATCHIED AND LISTENED TO THE NEWS, TALKED TO NM RLD ABOUT HIS LICENSING AND HAD THIS MAN AND HIS EMPLOYEES UNDER SURVEILLANCE FOR WEEKS- I HAVE JUST ONE QUESTION. HOW IN THE HELL DID THIS GUY EVER GET A STATE LICENSE?

Everyone in New Mexico should be very scared. There are many more companies out there like this and many more employees that shouldn't be carrying guns in our communities. There are over 200 security companies in New Mexico. How many are licensed? There are over 50,000 private and and company security guards in New Mexico. How many shouldn't be carrying a gun? How will we be protected if New Mexico issues licenses to crooks and doesn't enforce laws against illegal companies? New Mexico is a border state. Homeland Security is at stake and much more.... We need to demand more from New Mexico RLD, licensing, lawmakers and government!

Republished- NM RLD should not give guard licenses to criminals.

The New Mexico Private Investigators Board is still issuing licenses to criminals who pose as security guards. I have reported over a hundred felons and other undesirable criminals who work in the industry- with or without a license. The Private Investigator's Board hasn't done anything about these people and they are still working... I spoke Steve Herrera about Thomas M. Trusley, a guard for ASA Security then Five O security then Advanced On-site Protection. Trusley is a wife beater and he has been arrested eight times.Download truesley_arrests.pdfHe has at least three convictions Download trusley_convictions.pdfand is not qualified by law to work in security because he is a dirt bag. I knew he was working at the time for Five O Security and had filled out another application to transfer to the company that took over the accounts- Advance On Site Protection. These guys billed themselves as "mainly cops but a highly professional company with well trained and state certified officers." Well, Trusley isn't any of that. He is a sixty year old man that has been in and out of the legal system on a constant basis, by normal standards. Anyway, I called the Board Administrator, Mr. Steve Herrera and warned him about this guy's criminal record. THE STATE HAD PREVIOUSLY ISSUED HIM 4 LICENSES IN THE PAST so I thought I might want to point out that THIS GUY HAS NO BUSINESS IN THE SECURITY INDUSTRY.Download trusley_5_licenses.pdfMr. Herrera acknowledged that he had received Trusley's application from Advance Onsite Protection but hadn't issued his license because the company wan't yet licensed. He assured me that he would look into the matter.

The state launched its new license verification system today and I verified that Trusley got his license on June 18, 2008.Download truesley_licensed.pdf/

I spoke to Mr. Herrera today and he said that this man didn't have a license. I walked him through I found this information on the state web site and I heard him mutter a cuss word when he saw what I had seen. Who knows what will happen from here. You can bet that Trusely is still working in security and based on prior experiences, will visit a judge again soon.

I have come to the opinion that the state of New Mexico and the New Mexico Private Investigator's Board doesn't care about this industry or the safety of New Mexicans. I was told to file a "complaint."

I think that this is something that they tell me to keep me off of this blog and out of the news media. Obviously, I know they don't do anything with my complaints. I was also told that the PI Board has one compliance investigator that "juggles 4 or 5 Boards." It's great that they are taking this problem so seriously. I wonder how long it will before someone gets killed because of the PI Board's negligence? I wish Governor Richardson read my blog.

Republished- Legit Security was in the news again on Channel 4 KOB.

Albuquerque's Legit Security owners may drive expensive cars and live in gated communities but Tom Joles of channel 4 KOB TV in Albuquerque reports (August 2-3, 2008):

TODAY A GROUP OF PEOPLE WORKING FOR  "LEGIT SECURITY" IS HOPING TO FINALLY GET PAID.

EMPLOYEES TELL US THEY'VE BEEN WAITING TO GET PAID SINCE FRIDAY.

THEY GATHERED OUTSIDE THE ALBUQUERQUE BUSINESS YESTERDAY FOR THEIR MONEY BUT SOMEONE FROM THE COMPANY TOLD THEM THEY COULD GO TO THE OWNER'S HOME TO PICK UP THEIR CHECKS.

BUT THE EMPLOYEES SAY THEY WERE UNABLE TO BECAUSE IT'S A GATED COMMUNITY.

In just August 2008, Gil Baca stated that the company had gross revenue of $2.4 million with projected revenue of $8-10 million.  Then in recent developments, Bobby Rodriguez (he is the President now!), is asking for $10 million dollars investment money for his company. 

We already know that some employees have successfully used the Albuquerque Police Department to collect back wages by taking them to the company office located at 630 Manzano NE.  Maybe the newest unpaid employees can try this to get paid.

Personally, I am wondering when these guys are going to get arrested for all of the stuff that they do (and is all in public record).  Time will tell...

NEW MEXICO REGULATION AND LICENSING DIVISION AND PRIVATE INVESTIGATOR'S BOARD- are you reading this?  This matter requires your immediate attention!

Republished- how do they keep getting away with it? The New Mexico Private Investigator's Board dismisses, loses or doesn't act on complaints.

Everyone always asks me... How do these illegal companies continue to operate after they break the law.  What is the state doing?  Dismissing the complaints!  See below.

Download Blog-FiveO-1.pdf

OK.  Proof was easy.  We gave them a ton of proof that the company was working, video, ulicensed guards and all of that!

See the investigations by CLICKING HERE1, Here2 and Here3.  If you scan ths blog for old posts there are an additional 3 posts that deal with these issues and they have all been forwarded to the state.  Suffice to say that extensive proof was provided by me, Anthony Landavazo, Jared Pirkle and even Yvette Pohl.  It is all contained in the investigations, letters and other proof.

Jared Pirkle received this letter today...

 

The Private Investigator's Board is responsible for the state of the security industry in New Mexico.  It is obvious that they are not prepared to take the actions necessary to enforce their own rules and law.

Republished- is it OK to smoke marijuana on duty as a security guard? Avalanche Protective Service in Santa Fe

This is one of those things that I thought I would never see...  

This on duty Avalanche Security Guard looks like a dope fiend...

 

Come on man... Put down the pipe and work security at this Allsups!

Say hello to Tom White.  He was an Avalanche Security Guard until last week, when he was arrested for a bench warrant.  He doesn't work for Avalanche just like the MURDERER doesn't work for Avalanche Security because he was arrested.  Of course, this and other evidence may add some time to his sentence.  

I have gotten several calls from Avalanche employees and I feel for them.  This company has already deducted $50 from each pay check for "state license fees" but none of these guards got new training.  None got licenses.  I spoke to a man tonight that has worked for the company for one year without training or licensing and he is tired of it.  The company has no training plan approved by the state and does little else than giving a new guard (pictured above) a uniform shirt to send them out on a security post.

I have also gotten several e-mails from a higher level supervisor at Avalanche Security that thinks that the recent events are a joke or something.  See below (keep in mind- in the last week one of their "good" employees was arrested for trafficking crack cocaine in a school zone, while being a murderer and another smokes marijuana openly.  In uniform and on duty.  He is later arrested for a FELONY arrest warrant.  Almost none of the ENTIRE staff of Avalanche has a license and he says that he gets no support from the owner or PPO Manager...  I wonder if they are on a beach somewhere?)  

"I agree that the public shouldn't have to deal with this, but it is unfortunate that the problem existed long before the current HR Manager or myself got with the company. While you continue to attack these illegitimate or poorly ran companies you do not provide any real insight on how the guards in these companies, who hold very little power in the companies, a way for them to correct the problems. If you want things to change how things are ran, stop complaining, attacking, and crying about how things are currently ran, and point to solutions that even those that are not in a position of power can help." ~ speeding "chetah (dude- you can't even spell cheetah) of Avalanche

and again tonight...

"I agree with Disgusted...but until there is a more public outcry for such changes, Mr. Hamic and the rest of us trying to make an honest living are going to suffer. I know Mr. Hamic is going to go on the attack stating I work for some shady, illegal, or illegitimate company that deserves to be wipe off the face of the planet, but until the PI Board, and RLD are restructured in such a way to enforce the laws, (like putting you and your company out of business) all changes are going to be internal, or semi-vigilante. I do like this blog, but instead of attacking people or companies, offer to help companies by means other than this blog. Fax them the forms needed to fix licensing issues, offer to do training for outside companies (I know Summit does that for a nominal fee, which I think is great)." ~ speeding Chetah of Avalanche

and...

"And the misspelling in my ONLINE NAME is intentional."(LOL) ~ speeding chetah of Avalanche

Well guess what?  I do think that this guy works for a shady, illegitimate company that is illegal.  The law agrees with me and I think they may meet the Attorney General sometime soon, who may also agree with the law.  This is the exact reason responsible, qualified people should operate security companies and manage them.  You are probably the supervisor of Tom White... You could've supervised him.?  You could not hire FELONS.  You could make sure that guards that you supervise actually comply with the law and carry licenses or receive training orGO FIND A JOB WORKING FOR AN ETHICAL COMPANY.  Can anyone tell me why this industry is so messed up?

Thanks to some of my best investigators and informants for these pictures and information...

NM RLD did nothing about this complaint or others about this very same company!
