False Arrest or Kidnapping After Complaint of Police Misconduct
My question involves civil rights in the State of: MICHIGAN
Hello everyone,
I was arrested for misuse of 9-1-1 and would like to know if this was a kidnapping.
In November my wife and I bought a house from an employee of our sheriff's department on a land contract. After seven months the woman changed her mind about selling us her home and started summary proceedings to evict us. She failed and the grounds of the eviction proceedings were frivolous. Then the woman took the law into her own hands and using the Sheriff's Department and a fellow deputy conspired to take our home as if the court had granted her eviction request. The woman, a sheriff's department employee, and a co worker, a deputy, locked us out of our home and kept us out by threatening arrest for trespass.
We had been locked out while at work. When we discovered the lockout we called 9-1-1 and the woman and her buddy deputy responded. The deputy told us that home owners can change the locks when ever they want and that we would be leaving peaceably or by arrest but we would be leaving either way. We left to avoid arrest as the woman and her boyfriend were entering our home and waving to us victoriously.
I filed a complaint against the deputy immediately afterwords at the sheriff's department and the under sheriff told me that his deputy had done nothing wrong but claimed to have called the PA and told me that if we could prove that we had not been evicted we should be able to get our house back. The under sheriff told me to get the same deputy back to the scene and prove to him that we had not been evicted so I called dispatch again using 9-1-1.
This time at the scene the proof anyone could have would be sketchy and the woman claimed to have an order of eviction signed by a judge but it was at her house and asked if she could go and get it and her buddy deputy agreed and allowed the boyfriend to leave the scene with a truck full of our property from inside the house. The boyfriend returned almost an hour later driving a different vehicle and had no court order. Without a court order, the deputy suggested the woman give us a key after allowing his co-worker and her boyfriend to go back into our house and retrieve anything they may have brought into the house.
After getting a key, we asked the deputy to accompany us into the house and he refused claiming that regardless of could possible be discovered in the home the problem was civil and thus his continued involvement would not be required.
After entering the home my wife and I discovered the home completely emptied... the garage completely emptied except for shelving.
I called 9-1-1 again and reported a burglary. Dispatch told me that the deputy had advised them not to respond to any calls from us. Shocked and horrified I called 9-1-1 again and this time I asked dispatch to either dispatch State Police or to give me their number and dispatch refused.
About a half hour after that the same deputy came back tot he property and arrested me for misuse of 9-1-1 and took me to jail while my crying family stood in the driveway of our home that had been emptied.
At the start of this day we did not know that the woman was an employee of the Sheriff's Department. To us she was the woman that sold us her home and then changed her mind after seven months. The woman and the deputy were co-workers and had been co-workers for almost three months when this happened yet the woman came to the property dressed in civilian cloths and her and the deputy while at the scene the first time and within the first 10 minuets went into the story where they did know each other but from an event many years in the past.
Now, a year and a half later, we clearly see that the woman was disguised as a civilian to make it appear to us that the deputy was just doing his job rather than a favor for his friend and co-worker.
The disguise and the fact the woman and the deputy were co-workers that intentionally concealed that fact created a very different situation. Together the two executed a violation of the Michigan "Anti-Lockout Law" as found in MCL 600.2918 under color of law and office while in disguise which makes this a violation of federal criminal statutes found in Title 18 U.S.C. §§ 241, 242.
The deputy then arrested me for calling 9-1-1 for help from him and the woman and after I had filed a complaint against the deputy with his under sheriff.
If this false arrest on make believe charges is the same as kidnapping, this elevates the potential punishment to DEATH as defined in the Federal Criminal Statutes.
The woman and her deputy locked us out of our home, stole our personal property inside the home and then arrested me for calling 9-1-1.
The deputy refused to give us a police report for his first and second visit but was forced to generate a report after his third visit to the property when he arrested me.
To me this feels like kidnapping. When my wife and kids needed me the most, they had to stand there crying as I was handcuffed behind my back and arrested after we had just lost our home and it's contents.
I don't want a death penalty, I just want justice!
Two Sheriff's Department employees:
Violated MCL 600.2918 the anti-lockout law (no court order)
Stole the contents of our home Grand Larceny?
Violated Federal Law in Title 18 U.S.C. § 241
Violated Federal Law in Title 18 U.S.C. § 242
Falsely Arrested Me Kidnapping?
We were not growing pot or doing anything illegal.
We were not behind on the payments and were paying monthly towards the purchase price.
We were not trashing the house.
Myself, my wife and two minor children are not terrorists, wanted criminals or fugitives.
The administrators of the Sheriff's Department did not act on our allegations because they knew that our complaint was against two employees when we though only one. They realized the seriousness of our allegations as law enforcement officers long before we did and assumed they could keep it from becoming known. Originally the conspiracy was between the woman and the deputy but it was still there. Instead of helping us they worked to cover and conceal and became part of the conspiracy to deprive my family of our constitutional civil rights while under color of law and of office.
Unable to find a lawyer we filed suit in Pro Per on the last day of the statutes of limitations and before we had discovered the woman to be an employee of the sheriffs department. In continuation of the conspiracy and the original disguise, our lawsuit was answered by a lawyer claiming to represent the County and all of the County employees and officers named in the suit but did not represent the woman and the woman answered in pro per.
I feel that we are on top of the civil side of this complaint but I am much more interested in the criminal aspects of it and have no idea how or who to present this information to that would follow up on the criminal aspects.
To date I have shared this story with the following:
local prosecutor
Sheriff and Under Sheriff
State Representative Kevin Cotter
Michigan Attorney General
State Governor
Local Michigan State Police
District Command of Michigan State Police
Commander of the Michigan State Police
FBI phone screening
DOJ phone screening
US Attorney's Office
I have started a petition at change.org that is geared at collecting signatures requesting that the US Attorney's Office together with the DOJ to launch an investigation into criminal corruption allegations. You can view and sign this petition at the following link.

Additionally, please comment on this if you have something useful to contribute.
Thanks in advance!
Re: False Arrest or Kidnapping After Complaint of Police Misconduct
Evictions are not emergencies or even police matters. You were abusing 911.
911 is not for non-emergency communications even if the person you want to talk to is in law enforcement, nor are they directory assistance for other law agencies.
This is not false arrest or kidnapping.
Some advice, you're too emotionally involved in this to make the appropriate actions. Get a lawyer. First to defend yourself on the charges, and second to file the appropriate civil action to recover the damages you have.
Re: False Arrest or Kidnapping After Complaint of Police Misconduct
Evictions are civil proceedings commonly called "Summary Proceedings".
The summary proceedings initiated against us failed and were ultimately canceled.
An eviction, without an eviction is not an eviction.
Since we were not evicted would you say this is still not a police matter?
Since our home and it's contents were taken from us without an eviction you are saying that our losses are civil?
So if I were to start frivolous summary proceedings against you and then cancel them and then go to your house and haul away it's contents this would be a matter for the civil courts and law enforcement should play no role?
Since their was no eviction our calls to 9-1-1 were not warranted?
The charges for misuse of 9-1-1 were dropped but you are saying that I am still a criminal for that because I was arrested for it. Arrested, never arraigned and all charges dropped but still a criminal?
Eviction started, eviction canceled before a court ruling, evicted or not evicted?
Arrested for murder, acquitted on all charges, murderer or not a murderer?
Re: False Arrest or Kidnapping After Complaint of Police Misconduct
Let me try.
Calling 911 in a non-emergency is NOT appropriate.
It was absolutely not kidnapping.
However since the charges were dropped, why are you posting?
Re: False Arrest or Kidnapping After Complaint of Police Misconduct
I guess you didn't read it either...
Is being locked out of your home without having been evicted an emergency?
Is a home invasion an emergency?
Is the theft of personal property an emergency?
Re: False Arrest or Kidnapping After Complaint of Police Misconduct
Nope.
This was not a "home invasion".
Rarely.
Next question? :)
Re: False Arrest or Kidnapping After Complaint of Police Misconduct
Both of you guys are describing then, the perfect crime.
Initiate summary proceedings against you enemy, cancel them but follow through with the seizure of the home and it's contents because your victim will be arrested if they call the police because taking their home and it's contents isn't a crime if you first initiated summary proceedings even if you administratively cancel them...
Then people like you will say... Since the charges were dropped, why are you complaining?
Since criminal charges were dropped, you should be happy regardless of the fact that you are still without your home and it's furnishings!

your right...
Breaking and entering / trespass
not home invasion...
Re: False Arrest or Kidnapping After Complaint of Police Misconduct
Ah - but you have CIVIL recourse, if nothing else.
THAT is what you should be looking at. Nobody said you don't have recourse. But you specifically posted about what you called "kidnapping", and being hauled in for abusing the 911 system. The first doesn't apply, and you're actually guilty of the second.
So yes - be thankful that those charges were dropped.

Wow... you are an idiot!
You just told me that I am guilty of misuse of 9-1-1 after I told you charges were dropped.
You must also believe that we had been evicted even though the eviction proceedings were canceled.
Why are you posting? Just to break 15,000 posts?

So answer the question:
In your opinion:
Is Trespass a reason to dial 9-1-1?
Is breaking and entering a reason to call 9-1-1?
Is the theft of the contents of your home a reason to call 9-1-1?
Re: False Arrest or Kidnapping After Complaint of Police Misconduct
I'm not the idiot who got charged, sweetpea ;)
Go make some complaints about how the authorities infringed on your rights. Then, try re-reading. It helps :D There's a big clue in the "CIVIL" aspect.
