Legal Question in Criminal Law in California

I have a trial date for tomorow. Its for 11550. Me and a friend of mine was in front of his house talkin. A police car drives pass us. We started walking down the street

(not because of him) and he had turned around and came back and pulls up on us. I TELL MY FRIEND TO KEEP WALKIN WITH ME WE DONE NOTHING SO WE DONT HAVE TO STOP. I keep walking and my friend stops and talks to my friend. I asked him what he said and he he said he just wanted to compliment him on his jersey. the jersey was nothin special silver with black number on it.When he drove off he passes me and he lookin at me smiling. It was the same cop that arrested me and will be at my trial. Two days ago he passes by me and he makes a u turn and when he passes me he gave me some kind of hand jesture and drove off. I dont know what it meant. When he arrested me he did alot of lying and manipulation and he put it in the police report. My pd just wants to railroad me. I had him request the police audio and video 3 months ago we still havent recieved it. I havent talk to my pd either except once i called him and he told me we havent recieved it. So tomorow i go to court with nothing to defend my self with . I tried firing my pd the first day i m et him and he tells i cant and he s my pd and that s it. So its just basicly its PEOPLE WHO WORK FOR THE PUBLIC IN THE PUBLICS INTREST TRYING TO SCREW OVER THE PUBLIC for their own agenda. Unbelievable. I know iam the benificiary in the court system and the judge and da are the trustees but i dont want to have to go there cuz its just going to be a hassel. Anyways My question is the officer is trying to do some type of intimidation i believe so he doesnt make him and the department look bad because of his behavior. He knows i can proove it. Your thoughts would be appreciated.

Yes, he may be trying to intimidate you, but what he is doing is not illegal. You are doing the right thing by not talking to him. Just keep ignoring him.

You have not asked about the public defender. But he is wrong. While you cannot fire him, you may make a Marsden motion before the court and ask the court to appoint someone else, not from his office.
