I'm not a novice when it comes to Probation. I've spent many years working with federal probation officers and because of my involvement with electronic harassment, I've even spent some time ON probation...but one thing that baffles and angers me is that nobody has bothered to question why Steven Frey owes the IRS a half a million dollars in back unpaid taxes?
Why is this issue slipping through the cracks?
I did not spend the last 7 years of my life being hounded by Laurie and Brian about this issue to let some police department and a clueless probation officer let this matter stand. This should have been reported to the IRS and it should have been dealt with in federal court. Whether Steven Frey is responsible or not for these missing monies, this is a matter of federal jurisdiction that the state law enforcement is dropping the ball on. Steven should have already had the opportunity to address this matter and it should have already triggered an investigation into this fraud. Why isn't that happening? I've waited a very long time for this matter to be addressed and I know whom is behind it. I think that Sgt. Anderson knows too...why isn't Steven being offered the opportunity to speak his part on this matter before the federal government comes and finds him and throws him in jail for tax evasion???
This is like everything else out in the Coachella Valley....nothing is like what it is like anywhere else. Vanessa Williams owes a half a million dollars and it gets the front page of a news paper or fifty, but when a convicted drug dealer has this much debt, nobody is doing anything? Come on...what's going on here PSPD?
On every order of probation, the first condition is this...the defendant is ordered "to obey all laws, federal, state and local"...paying your federal and state taxes IS A LAW! I must have read this condition a million times to defendants at sentencing and I know that it is strictly enforced. Some probation orders even state that "all taxes owed to the federal and state governments must be paid in full" otherwise the defendant remains on probation until such time that they are paid in full...which means that Steven should either be saying he's paying them off or that he isn't responsible for them....I doubt he's willing to say he'll pay them off when he isn't responsible and is looking at probation for the rest of his life trying to balance the debt.
