Dear court
I'm Manojlo Baić (ign Mane_Lucchese) lawyer of prosecutor Mr. Dhawal Oswal (ign Joey_Lucchese)
My employer was suspected on charges of Drug dealing on Tuesday around 9pm server time, suspection was carried out by LCPD Sergant N.O.O.S.E. CIU Senior Detective Harzy Crozier (ign Harzy) based on pictures taken on 30.09.2015
Evidence 1
(http://i.imgur.com/xFQaTva.jpg)
(http://i.imgur.com/ly4cTXd.jpg)
Also we would like to sue LCPD Lieutenant Kevin Parker N.O.O.S.E. TRU Operative, as from Evidence 1, that was taken as reason for the warrant that LCPD Lieutenant Kevin Parker (ign Kevin _Parker) showed to my client after he was suspected and asked for investigation. (Evidance 2 Point 4)
I would like to note for the case that at this time, Harzy Crozier was not part of LCPD in any way, when this photos were taken.
As he was the drug dealer who sold weed to my client who is now a successful businessman, and a recovering drug addict ( Evidence 1).
Therefor we have decided to sue both LCPD Sergeant N.O.O.S.E. CIU Senior Detective Harzy Crozier and LCPD Lieutenant Kevin Parker N.O.O.S.E. TRU Operative
LCPD Sergeant Harzy Crozier our accusations are following tampering evidence in order to get a warrant for a personal vendetta, abuse of police authority that was granted to him by LCPD command, lying to LCPD that he didn't have a criminal past (Evidence 1), setting back my clients recovery by months due to stress, slandering the name of Lucchese Company that Mr. Dhawal Oswal is one of the leadership figures that people look up to, and slandering the good name of Mr. Dhawal Oswal.
Our charges for LCPD Lieutenant Kevin Parker N.O.O.S.E. TRU Operative are following issuing out a warrant without any evidence to support it, aiding in a personal vendetta of his subordinate that in result slanders the name of Mr Dhawal Oswal and Lucchese Company, and also unknowingly believing his subordinate he also abused the authority granted to him by LCPD command.
Now for the evidence that are going to use we have evidence 1, that's shown in the exponentiation for our claims against LCPD Lieutenant Kevin Parker and LCPD Sergeant Harzy Crozier.
Evidence 2, a film made by police officer who was at the scene at the time of the event.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tZ8KCJGZxTs&feature=youtu.be
Time stamps relevant to our case, that back up our story are.
Evidence 2.1 0.00-0.30 min Where we can see that my client offered no resistance and has just asked for investigation.
Evidence 2.2 1:25 min My client expresses his willingness to cooperate, and follows the orders from police.
Evidence 2.3 4 min under pressure at gunpoint even tho my client was willing to cooperate my client got on the ground and /gued. 6:35-7:10 min LCPD Sergeant Harzy Crozier explains how he used megaphone to make my client land his helicopter.
Evidence 2.4 8.44-10 min LCPD Lieutenant Kevin Parker takes out a copy of a warrant for my clients arrest and shows it to my client and briefs him on the reason behind the arrest, also reads Miranda Rights to my client. (LCPD Lieutenant Kevin Parker claims that warrant is approved by police chief Charles)
Evidence 2.5 14 min mark, my client brought in for investigation, Investigation done by the same man who suspected my client LCPD Sergeant Harzy Crozier
31:38 min mark LCPD Sergeant Harzy Crozier threaten my client, as my client can reveal his criminal history.
Evidence 2.6 35 min mark LCPD Sergeant Harzy Crozier starts talking about the "evidence"
37:39 min Bunch of photos come out the file about my clients drug sale. Later upon request of those evidence we got photos that we now show to court as Evidence 1, where its clear who is buying and who is selling the drugs. 39 min mark LCPD Sergeant Harzy Crozier even admits he was the one selling the drugs.
Evidence 2.7 53:33 Here it comes, the only reason for this entire event, attempt to disguise his criminal past as vigilante work, "i sold him weed don't know who he wanted to sell it to" quote from LCPD Sergeant Harzy Crozier, trying to make ex addict into a drug lord, the fact is my client never had a two way relations when it comes to drugs, he never sold it he just used it.
Its a dirty past, that should have stayed buried if there wasn't a event like this.
*note as bit off topic* 59 min server staff makes same conclusion as me, my Client was cough in a clever devised trap, as he had no way to fly away in a helicopter, and had to stay and play his role in the farce.
Evidence 2.8 After seeing that his prosecutor is playing the judge and jury, he gave up and asked to be jailed, so he could contact me to help him.
1h12 min my client is placed in jail
To sum all up, me and my client think that he was wrongly accused, and we would like the people who are responsible for it to be brought to justice, mine client admits he was a a drug user for many years, but in this case no evidence was shown of him buying drugs with the purpose to re sell them, we claim this case was framed to my client knowingly by LCPD Sergeant Harzy Crozier who was aided by LCPD Lieutenant Kevin Parker whos role we explained, but we are not sure was he operating knowingly, and did he know what is the goal of LCPD Sergeant Harzy Crozier.
*NOTES upon request for evidences that, this whole case is founded on, we received only Evidence 1 photos, so we pretty sure that LCPD HQ or any Judge was not informed about this operation, we would also want the request a conformation was the warrant issued by LCPD Lieutenant Kevin Parker real or fake
Demands
Our Demands are following:
Compensation for stress suffered up to 10,000$ (optional)
A Full Review from LCPD command about LCPD Sergeant Harzy Crozier
We also request a punishment to be decided by the Judge for LCPD Lieutenant Kevin Parker
Also we demand 20,000$ compensation for harassing and slander from LCPD Sergeant Harzy Crozier
And the refund of the bail money my client had to pay to pay to exit jail and make his case against the defendants 10,000$ (optional)

Liberty City Supreme Court
Liberty State
Dear court,
I am Charles Foster Offdensen, Chief of the Liberty City Police Department, and I will be representing Lieutenant Kevin Parker and Sergeant Harzy Crozier in this case.
In reaction to first point made by mr. Baić, in which he states Sergeant Crozier was not part of the Liberty City Police Department at the time of the photos. Sergeant Crozier has never left the Liberty City Police Department. In September of 2015, the department's Crime Investigation Unit launched a large operation with the goal to infiltrate the highest circles of drug lords and dealers in our city. It is quite understandable that your client, mr. Dhawal Oswal, became one of our target persons due to his involvement with drugs. Sergeant Crozier was one of the leading actors of the operation and had department's and CIU's command staff's approval to take all necessary steps to gather evidence of the drug trafficking going on at that time.
Secondly, Lieutenant Parker and Sergeant Crozier are accused of 'tampering evidence in order to get a warrant for a personal vendetta, abuse of police authority (...) and lying to LCPD'. This accusations are not valid as I, as the State attorney, signed the warrant myself when requested by Sergeant Crozier, based on solid evidence he provided (and which will be kept confidental and only showed to the judge upon his request due to sensitive nature of information they posses).
Lieutenant Kevin Parker did not issue the warrant, I as the State attorney, did, which makes this claim false. Neither of the accused are guilty of 'carrying out a personal vendetta' due to the fact they possessed a valid warrant with sufficient evidence at the time of the arrest.
As you mentioned, mr. Oswal is also a recovering drug addict, however the damage he has done to the society when he was an active drug lord have never been officially punished until now. We did not slander the name of the Lucchese Company for our pleasure, it only happened due to the criminal history of its lead figure, mr. Oswal, as we were just doing our jobs when taking him into custody.
Regarding the key moments of the video you mentioned. You state your client was listening to our officials' orders and cooperated with them, however, as you can see, he only surrendered after 5 minutes of trying to argue with us and not actually cooperating. The warrant presented by Lieutenant Parker was completely valid and Miranda rights were presented properly. In this case, it does not play a role who the suspecting officer was, as the crime did not happen right before the arrest and there is a warrant and solid evidence in existence. Pictures presented by Sergeant Crozier show mr. Oswal actively playing part in drug trafficking. According to the Criminal Laws of Liberty City (http://www.argonathrpg.eu/index.php?topic=69410.0), acts 88, 89 and 91, posession, using or selling drugs is illegal. As I mentioned earlier, further evidence exist to support our cause, but will only be shown to the judge. I see no problem with Sergeant Crozier saying 'i sold him weed don't know who he wanted to sell it to'. By saying your client had to take part in the farce, do you actually suggest he would have attempted to escape if he had been in a car?
Based on the arguments presented above, the accused Liberty City Police Department members acted properly and did not violate any of the Liberty City laws or your client's rights.
I believe the demands presented by mr. Baić are ridiculous and are not based on any real evidence of misconduct by our officers. In turn, I demand they pay the court fees once the case is closed.
Best regards,
Charles F. Offdensen

Dear court
After hearing out Chief of Police Charles F. Offdensen, we have decided to drop all accusations against Lieutenant Kevin Parker, as its clear he had no ill intention against my client.
On other hand our accusations against Sergeant Harzy Crozier remain almost the same our accusations are following tampering evidence in order to get a warrant for a personal gain, setting back my clients recovery by months due to stress, slandering the name of Lucchese Company that Mr. Dhawal Oswal is one of the leadership figures that people look up to, and slandering the good name of Mr. Dhawal Oswal.
Its our belief, that Sergeant Harzy Crozier is using my clients bad past to climb the ranks within LCPD.
At the questioning/investigation of my client only accusations Sergeant Harzy Crozier made were related to Evidence 1, if LCPD had any more evidence against my client, Sergeant Harzy Crozier didn't make them clear or didn't even present them to my client. So in all fairness of this case we ask that all evidence that were not presented to the case in the questioning/investigation be counted as inadmissible to this case, as my client as accused was not presented with them, thus making this in effort to clear his name impossible.
This is the damage my client has to deal with due to tempering with evidence by Sergeant Harzy Crozier.
As you mentioned, mr. Oswal is also a recovering drug addict, however the damage he has done to the society when he was an active drug lord
So my client who was just a heavy drugs user, now over night became a drug lord of Liberty City.
As my client said and you can see he did cooperate with the police, even tho in first 5 minutes he was not made clear of his crime till Lieutenant Parker showed the warrant and read Miranda rights to my client.
I would like to insert a quote from the law, that shows the intent of Sergeant Harzy Crozier, to make it look like my client had the intend to sell drugs, but that's not the case, further more the charges that my client has meet are Drug trafficking, and not drug possession, my client admits the drug possession and usage, but not with intend to sell.
"Drug distribution or trafficking laws penalize the selling, transportation, and illegal import of unlawful controlled substances.
Drug trafficking/distribution is a felony, and is a more serious crime than drug possession. If you are found in possession of drugs, you could be charged with trafficking if police believe you intend to sell them. "
Again i wish to point out that, when my client was accused only evidence presented to us on drug trafficking is Evidence 1 where, there can not be seen any intent of my client to sell the drugs, there fore my clients right were broken as he is wrongly accused. So only thing we can think of is that Sergeant Harzy Crozier is trying to make a carrier by putting a ex drug addict who is now a valuable member of the community in jail.

Dear court,
I would like to deny the accusation against Sergeant Crozier that he uses mr. Oswal's history to climb the ranks of the Liberty City Police Department. This cannot happen inside the department as all promotions are carefully considered by at least 4 people who all have different perspectives and opinions. It is very important to mention that ranks in the Liberty City Police Department are earned through hard work, and that they signify how much trust and responsibility the command staff puts into the member.
Secondly, the law of Liberty City does not state drug trafficking is a more serious offense than possesion of ranks. Therefore the argument mr. Baić made is invalid as his client is still convicted of possession of drugs. It is important to state that 'drug trafficking' does not refer solely to selling narcotics, but also to buying them, which your client visibly did.
I would like to see a full explanation with solid evidence on how Sergeant Croizer supposedly tampered with the evidence to make your client seem guilty, otherwise I demand this claim to be fully disregarded.
Best regards,
Charles F. Offdensen

Dear court
As i already explained, my client was just a drug user, and for some reason LCPD decided to mark him as "drug lord"
While only evidence they have related to this warrant that the disclosed with us thus giving us a chance to prove our innocence, is Evidence 1. Our request: " So in all fairness of this case we ask that all evidence that were not presented to the case in the questioning/investigation be counted as inadmissible to this case, as my client as accused was not presented with them, thus making this in effort to clear his name impossible."
Still isn't processed.
Also as you are aware Charles, you signed a warrant for Drug trafficking, while only presented evidence we seen is, that my client was in possession of drug and as you said, its clearly shown on evidence 1.
We agree that buying drugs with intent to sell them is drug trafficking, but my client had no intent to sell, just to use drugs, as you said Charles even you know that my client is a recovering drug addict.
Our claims for evidence tampering is pretty well explained, we still claim as we explained in the text above, there are no claims for drug trafficking that are supported with evidence 1, that only makes clear that my client paid Sergeant Crozier, while he only left a package in side the house.
We demand that LCPD ether drops the accusations for drug trafficking or show some evidence of the trafficking that with no doubt show my client selling drugs.
Regards
Mane_Lucchese

Dear court,
as stated in my previous reply, drug trafficking is not limited to 'buying with the intent to sell' as mr. Baić claims. Trafficking may be buying, selling, both, or even giving out drugs for free. Evidence marked as 'evidence 1' clearly shows mr. Oswal paying for narcotics, thus buying them and therefore being guilty of 'drug trafficking'.
I would like to make it clear that there is further evidence available, however, only some were used in the warrant as they are sufficient. We decided not to publish all the evidence we have due to the sensitive nature of information they contain and the fact they provide details about CIU's operations and operatives. The warrant was based on all the evidence we have, which also show mr. Oswal handing a package of weed over to our undercover operative, which in the end gives us evidence of violation of acts 89, 90 and 91 of the Liberty City laws.

I will be handling this court case as there is no active Judge capable of taking on a court case.
This accusations are not valid as I, as the State attorney, signed the warrant myself when requested by Sergeant Crozier, based on solid evidence he provided (and which will be kept confidental and only showed to the judge upon his request due to sensitive nature of information they posses).
I would like a copy of that warrant in my inbox.
After hearing out Chief of Police Charles F. Offdensen, we have decided to drop all accusations against Lieutenant Kevin Parker, as its clear he had no ill intention against my client.

Dear court
In reply to your request for explain our claims of tempering evidence, we would first like to Note once again for court that, on this charge my client was presented with only Evidence 1 as proof of a crime, we would like to file a request that all proofs that were not presented to us not be taken into consideration in this case, if there are any more evidence that the LCPD is holding under "classified".
Now for us to explain the tempering and possible framing of my client.
The evidence 1 picture was taken on 30.09.2015, and as its only evidence presented to us we must conclude that it was the only Evidence that LCPD has, or if they are holding more evidences our right for a fair trial and fair defense has been violated.
We have looked into other cases that we found in court archives we found this interesting quote from Charles F. Offdensen Chief of Police
"Our demands: $5000 fine paid to the state within seven days after the court's order, detention in Alderney State Correctional Facility for the period of five years (in-game time negotiable; 5 minutes to 50 minutes to 5 hours (preferred options: last two)).
URL
Liberty State against Denzel Grey (http://www.argonathrpg.eu/index.php?topic=109590.0)
My question is if 5 years can be 5 min or 50 min or 5 hours, how did the same Charles F. Offdensen allow the use of this evidence after 133 days passed and that's given 1 year is 1 hour 3192 years.
Even in case 1 day is 1 year, we are talking about 133 years, so you see honored Temporary Judge,
James Conway, we are in a dilemma, ether Harzy Crozier some how pushed this evidence pass Charles F. Offdensen, or Charles F. Offdensen knowingly used so old evidence. All in all it looks like a framed tampered case.
Ether way we want charges to be drooped, and a apology in this court hall for slander.
Regards
Mane_Lucchese
P.S im sorry for going on and off RP.
Also its a rule that you cant suspect and then investigate the same player, but as its a warrant i can say we were wrong and LCPD done that by the book.

Thank you for your reply Lawyer Manojlo Baić. I see that the pictures (evidence 1) was taken on 30.09.2015 (please confirm Charles F. Offdensen). The warrant was issued on 9.2.2016 and the arrest was executed also on 9.2.2016. I do want to note that there is no limit on how long evidence is valid, however I am confused of why it took so long before this warrant was issued. Charles F. Offdensen, could you tell the court why it took so long before this warrant was issued?

Dear temporary judge Conway,
the gap between evidence being taken and the actual warrant being issued and executed in game was caused by mr. Oswal's frequent absence in the city. We had to be sure he was still a resident of the Liberty City before giving out a warrant, therefore we waited until mr. Oswal was back in the city for some time. As temporary judge Conway stated, there is no limit on how long evidence is valid, and we were fully aware of this fact.
Best regards,
Charles F. Offdensen
Chief of Police
Going a bit off too, the 5-50 minutes/5 hours thing was suggested so that we can actually roleplay with the suspect while he's in jail, holding him there for a lower of higher amount of time would be quite unreasonable and would either eliminate the chance to roleplay or make it unnecessarily long and boring.

Do you have evidence or something that can convince me that officer Harzy was indeed part of that unit at the time? And that Officer Harzy was undercover at 30.09.2015?

Dear temporary judge Conway,
The evidence you requested was sent to you through mail.
Additionally, I would like to present more evidence that proves mr. Oswal's guilt, as they were taken on the same day by the same detective (sergeant Crozier) in the same operation.
Evidence 1 (http://kerbe.ferocia.eu/lcpd/warrants/warrant_1_E.jpg)
Evidence 2 (http://kerbe.ferocia.eu/lcpd/warrants/warrant_2_E.jpg)
Evidence 3 (http://kerbe.ferocia.eu/lcpd/warrants/warrant_3.jpg)
In the pictures you can see mr. Oswal giving a package of drugs to sergeant Crozier, which is by defition drug trafficking, thus illegal and supporting Liberty City Police Department's cause.
To prevent accusations saying these pictures were not presented in the warrant and thus cannot be used, I would like to note that your client is already seen buying drugs in the warrant, which is also drug trafficking.

Charles F. Offdensen

Dear court
Esteemed Chief of Police Charles F. Offdensen, as you know act 91 of Liberty City law was added after this warrant was issued, at the time of this warrant was issued no such definition of drug trafficking existed in laws of liberty city there was a section of drug trafficking laws, but with no definition to drug trafficking, unlike the one we have now.
So as i was saying you gave the green light for this warrant for drug trafficking, before you gave the suggestion of updating the law, as such we have claimed from the start you charged us for something that wasn't defined by law.
As for new evidence, i don't see the exchange taking place, yes my client is holding a package and giving it to your UC officer, but as pictures are taken so long in between photos we could even argue my client is joking that there are drugs in the package, as we don't see how the conversation continues or the exchange with confirmation of content of the package taking place, until you show a clear evidence of whats in the package or the rest of the conversation, I myself can not convinced that there were drugs in that package.
Also i would like to remind the honorable temporary judge James Conway, that bringing new evidence that were not included in warrant violates our right on a fair trial and defense, as its clear that LCPD had this pictures and conversation logs, if they were left out when the warrant was issued i don't see how can they magically add it now in middle of trial, as this are not new evidence that were discovered in the time of this trial but old evidance that was seen and not included by Chief of Police Charles F. Offdensen.
About the claims that Chief of Police Charles F. Offdensen made about my clients regular absence from the city LCPD city cameras have a new system where they track people who are in liberty city, after we filed a request and looked up mr Joey_Lucchese and we have found that since December 10, 2014 they have 1175 hours of videos with him and thus making him the 5th most seen man in Liberty City.

Dear court
To sum entire case we made here, charges brought by the LCPD were not up to date with the law at that point in time, but are with current law, as there was no definition of drug trafficking. Only buying, selling or using drugs. None of those 3 were used as charges.
Chief Charles F. Offdensen has realised the mistake that was made and within days after this case was made, has proposed a new law that defines what is drug trafficking.
LCPD brought new evidence into the case that shows nothing, except that Joey and UC officer Harzy were indeed close acquaintances.
LCPD claims of my clients absence to prove the huge time frame between the gathering the evidence and processing them into charges, that was brought up once, was never explained by the LCPD when we pointed out the where about of my client in last 133 days, that have supported our claims that there never was a long period of time where my client was not available to be served a warrant.
Our tampering claims, are supported by the long time frame, the timing of issuing a warrant right when my client was promoted in ranks within the Lucchese Company, thus damaging the reputations both of my client and the Lucchese Company, along with bringing in the new solid evidence, that when was presented, showed no signs of any illegal activity
Also, while the bringing up the charges took 133 days, warrant was made and served to my client within hours. Coincidence with the recent promotion of my client, and swift making and serving the warrant? I think not.
All in all, we consider that this bringing this charges was a rushed move, as it was not synced with the law at that time, and did not state a charge that was defined in the law at the moment warrant was issued.
Signed
Mane_Lucchese lawyer of Lucchese Company

I hereby close the case and will directly post the verdict.
The charges to Joey_Lucchese were "Drug dealing/trafficking". The verdict is in consideration with the old law "Sell of drug". The new law (Act 91) is a more general one and prevents confusion about drugs in Liberty City.
You can clearly see in evidence 1 that there is a "sell of drug" (Old law of Act 91). Exchanging 32100 Argonath Dollars for 535 grams of drugs. This means that Joey_Lucchese was (or is) in possession of drugs, which is against the law (Act 90). The evidence used for the warrant are sufficiënt as they show the drug deal. The reason why they waited so long does not really matter. They must have waited for the perfect moment to strike.
The new evidence that was brought in (but not taken into consideration as they were not part of the warrant) also shows that Joey_Lucchese was in possession of drugs. It also shows that LCPD has been working for a long time on this case and that they made quite work of it.
However, the old law (Act 91) spoke only of that selling drugs is illegal. Officer Harzy was the one selling the drugs here, and Joey_Lucchese was the one buying the drugs (clearly shown in evidence 1). In the old law (Section Nine: Drugs) there was nothing stated that buying drugs was illegal.
Copy of the old law:
Section Nine - Drugs
Act 89
Use - It is illegal to use drug
Act 90
Possession - It is illegal to possess drug
Act 91
Production - It is illegal to produce drug
Act 91
Sell of drug - Selling drug is illegal
Act 92
Promoting drug or drug use- The promotion of drug is illegal
So my verdict is as follows
- LCPD has to pay compensation for stress suffered up to 2000$ (reduced, original amount (10,000$)(optional) to Joey_Lucchese.
- LCPD has to pay money that was lost by Joey_Lucchese when he got jailed, which is 300$.
This case is appealable for the higher court (needs another judge), who can review and decide if my verdict was justified.
With best intentions,
Temporary Judge James Conway
