Supporters of a petition to recall three CFPD board members \u2014 Mike Alifano, Doug Mackintosh and Gary Riddell \u2014 had set up a table to collect some of the 2,714 signatures necessary to get the recall on an upcoming ballot. Recall supporters say that Alifano and a firefighter from over the hill were once again intimidating petitioners as they sought signatures at Harbor Village over the weekend.<br \/>\nAt least one recall supporter reported feeling threatened by Alifano, who showed up to offer his view on the petition to passersby. Recall supporters say Alifano was intimidating potential signers, a contention he denies.<br \/>\nIntimidation could be in violation of California Election Code 18630, which outlaws attempts to influence elections by intimidation.<br \/>\nAlifano allegedly took photographs of the circulating petitions that would get the recall on a future ballot. He denies taking photos of the petitions or names of signers. California Election Code 18650 forbids the use of signatures for anything other than qualifying for the ballot.<br \/>\nGovernment code excludes recall petitions from state open records laws.<br \/>\n\u201cThat means that there is some expectation of privacy relating to them,\u201d said Wagstaffe.<br \/>\nBreaking any of these election codes could qualify as a misdemeanor.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>See more Recall and Fire Board news here\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/keepcalfire.com\/?page_id=94\">http:\/\/keepcalfire.com\/?page_id=94<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>July 26, 2012 Half Moon Bay Review http:\/\/www.hmbreview.com\/news\/investigation-under-way-following-recall-complaints\/article_843e917e-d74f-11e1-b26e-0019bb2963f4.html A San Mateo County District Attorney\u2019s Office investigator has been assigned to look into complaints about a series of verbal run-ins between a Coastside Fire Protection District board member and recall supporters &hellip; <a href=\"http:\/\/keepcalfire.com\/?p=85\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-85","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/keepcalfire.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/85","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/keepcalfire.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/keepcalfire.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/keepcalfire.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/keepcalfire.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=85"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"http:\/\/keepcalfire.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/85\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":171,"href":"http:\/\/keepcalfire.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/85\/revisions\/171"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/keepcalfire.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=85"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/keepcalfire.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=85"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/keepcalfire.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=85"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
