True about due process. I agree with you.

FYI -  Caldwell the Mayor himself is guilty of retaliatory behavior and abusing his office for police powers. He sent 6 armed policemen along with a front-end loader, a dozen county workers from Halawa to seize two free speech protest signs from private property in Hauula. 

The federal judge ordered the city to pay the legal fees. Caldwell got away scot-free.
