CASE NO 040920221919



UNITED STATES OF ARGONATH VS. PATROL INVEST GROUP

I. Introduction

Greetings to the United States Supreme Court,

On the 23rd of November 2021, evidence of criminal misconduct and dangerous behaviour by two identified members of a collective entity known as the Patrol Invest Group was collected. The two members of this entity, Jerry Swindle and his now-deceased cohort, Buster Nutt, were identified as the members engaged in criminal conduct. An arrest warrant was requested and approved by the courts. Evidence of the identification of these members of the Patrol Invest Group is attached under Section III.

Mr. Swindle was arrested and interrogated based on his crimes, and as a result, was detained pending trial. While Mr. Nutt was killed in a shootout where he murdered a VCPD Sergeant and attempted to murder law enforcement personnel during the execution of the arrest warrant against him, the United States believes that the defendant's assets should be liquidized to compensate for the crime(s) committed by the defendant, so that some form of justice still prevails for the deplorable actions of this individual, the Vice City Police Department who are mourning the loss of an officer in the line of duty, and the Sergeant's family.





II. Case Breakdown

DEFENDANT ONE: JERRY SWINDLE

The initial crime Mr. Swindle was investigated for was impersonation of a state official, as per the mistrial "United States of Argonath vs. [DU]Orochi (https://www.argonathrpg.eu/index.php?topic=129664.0)". This was handled in the case and Mr. Swindle was fined for his actions, and therefore will not be prosecuted for that crime in this case as per the Criminal Law's definition of double jeopardy.

On the 23rd of November 2021, Mr. Swindle was found to be engaging in dangerous behaviour, risking the life of the individual he was interacting with at the scene of a search warrant execution. Mr. Swindle made false claims of a GPS being a bomb creating an imminent threat that may have led to unnecessary force against the individual, causing a risk, especially in the vicinity of armed law enforcement at the scene of an operation [1].

Furthermore, on the same day during the same search warrant operation, Jerry Swindle is seen to be willfully engaging in illegal detainment and arrest in a willful and deliberate agreement and cooperation with Buster Nutt to break the law, which legally constitutes a conspiracy [2].

Mr. Swindle's conspiracy charges are related to Mr. Nutt's endangerment, dissuading a witness or victim, and breach of the Law Enforcement Code as well as the Constitution during an unlawful arrest used to dissuade a witness or victim. Mr. Swindle has neglected to inform the individual under arrest of his Miranda rights and has therefore breached both the Law Enforcement Code and the Constitution, and should therefore be charged with the same offences as Mr. Nutt for having actually committed the offence, albeit not single-handedly, as well as a charge of conspiracy for his cooperation with Mr. Nutt in these deplorable acts of injustice.

Based on the gravity of the offences committed, the number of offences committed by Mr. Swindle, the conspiring to commit offences with a cohort by Mr. Swindle, and the abhorrent abuse of law enforcement power as a part of this individual's terrible injustices, we are unwilling to offer a settlement to the defendant and urge the courts to show zero leniencies, financially nor in regards to imprisonment.



DEFENDANT TWO: BUSTER NUTT

The United States wishes to start by reiterating that this defendant was shot dead in self-defence by an on-duty federal agent and therefore cannot stand trial and/or be imprisoned. However, we also reaffirm, as stated in the case introduction that the United States believes that monetary penalties should still apply and that the defendant's assets should be liquidized to compensate for the crime(s) committed by the defendant so that some form of justice still prevails for the deplorable actions of this individual, as well as for the Vice City Police Department who are mourning the loss of an officer in the line of duty, and the deceased Sergeant's family.

On the 25th of September 2021, Mr. Nutt was recorded as having committed racial discrimination against an individual, violating their constitutional right to not be discriminated on the basis of race [1]. Although it is acknowledged that the person being referred to by Mr. Nutt is a fugitive, he is labelled a terrorist and racially profiled by Mr. Nutt over the police radio. A suspect wanted for battery is labelled as a terrorist, hence a threat to national security on the basis that he is black. This is a violation of the Constitution and a violation of the person's indeprivable rights, irrespective of whether they are a suspect or a civilian.

On the 23rd of November 2021, Mr. Nutt is recorded as committing an act of endangerment and risking an unarmed individual's life [2]. Mr. Nutt clearly seeks to intimidate the civilian while being subjected to a voluntary frisk search. Despite the civilian's compliance, Mr. Nutt proceeds to brandish a shotgun and aim at an unarmed civilian. This is considered excessive use of force against an unarmed civilian, nonetheless, not even a suspect, but a civilian. Furthermore, Mr. Swindle is also guilty of this offence as his false claims of a GPS being a bomb created an imminent threat that may have led to unnecessary force against the individual, causing a risk, especially in the vicinity of armed law enforcement at the scene of an operation.

Lastly, on the same day during the same operation on the 23rd of November 2021, Mr. Nutt was recorded having unlawfully detained an off-duty federal agent for observing proceedings of a search warrant execution from a safe distance outside a perimeter [3]. "Interference" is not a crime, and any resemblance to the criminal offence of "obstruction of justice" is not valid as the evidence shows the civilian to be complying. Furthermore, Mr. Nutt has not read the suspect any of his Miranda rights, a clear violation of the Constitution.

Furthermore, Mr. Nutt's false arrest is considered to be Dissuading A Witness or Victim as he has knowingly and maliciously prevented the civilian, the owner of the warehouse, from attending the proceeding while standing behind appropriate perimeters as authorized by law with the use of fear and an invalid arrest.

This also constitutes a conspiracy as PIG Jerry Swindle is seen to be willfully engaging in illegal detainment and arrest. This is seen as willful and deliberate agreement and cooperation to break the law, and thus constitutes a conspiracy.

Based on the gravity of the offences committed, the number of offences committed, the abhorrent violations of the Constitution and the unalienable civil rights of multiple individuals as well as the deplorable abuse of law enforcement power as a part of this individual's terrible injustices, we urge the courts to show no leniency whatsoever in any money and/or asset seizures to compensate for the crimes committed and to uphold justice irrespective of the defendant now being deceased.

The cadet did a good job yesterday, not only did he help in capturing a filthy-ass disgusting lawbreaking no good jewelry thief, he also helped PIG in a planned neutralization of a high threat target.
This cadet has a message; "you better not f**king break the law while i'm here", and he is sending it loud and clear!  :app:



A bit of work on driving is needed though.

I overlooked over that session as a representative from PIG. I am also satisfied with Sam's work, although he did seem to be pretty lenient while doing traffic stops.
Maybe that's why he is going for VCPD rather than PIG!  :lol:

Good luck on the coming sessions, cadet.

Best of luck from me aswell! That's impressive work done by a recruit! I am sure you will make it in an investigation division such as FBI.

I've also seen you on the field lately, shooting at outlaws who dare to break our state's laws. He also saved my ass once when I cheated on my wife and he covered it up saying that I was actually with him, he made a fast buck that night.

This guy is a great candidate for VCPD, better accept him already or else we might steal it from you!

This is a legal notice with the purpose of informing you that you have been taken to the court of law .
This is to be treated as a court summons. You must show up at court to submit your plea.

Signed,
PIG Master Jerry Swindle, Patrol Invest Group
Prosecutor in the name of United States of Argonath

Mr. Swindle is not authorized to represent the United States nor the State of Florida in any capacity and directly impersonates a state official by naming himself as a federal prosecutor. Furthermore, the Patrol Invest Group is not a legally recognized law enforcement agency in the State of Florida or the United States, and therefore is unauthorized to be operating out of the Offices of the Vice City Police Department, further reinforcing the impersonation of state officials.

We hereby, upon filing this warrant, request authorization to file this unsanctioned prosecution of an individual as a mistrial, null and void, and drop any charges against the defendant in the case.

Michael Collin stands up as he addresses the Judge.
Your Honor, on 23rd day of November, 2021, Mr. Swindle was present on law enforcement duty as a member of the Patrol Invest Group(PIG) at the scene of a search warrant execution. This search warrant was issued against the then FBI Director Kowalski; and these evidences, exhibit ONE and TWO against Jerry Swindle were collected by Mr. Kowalski himself.

Now, talking about the accusations made against Mr. Jerry Swindle; the first accusation is that he endangered the life of an individual. Your Honor, Mr. Swindle mis-interpreted the GPS for a bomb and it was just a case of human error. There is basically no evidence that any bodily harm was done to the individual. Also, no evidence shows that any body harm was even intended. Literally nobody took any physical actions against the individual and when the individual stated that it was a GPS; Mister Swindle instantly returned it back to him. We can even see a VCPD Official (hezzy) laugh at the situation.
If I was to show you all two identical boxes, could you really state which is a bomb and which is a GPS by just looking at it?
Also, we can clearly see and hear that the individual was swearing and verbally abusing someone at the scene of the search warrant execution in Exhibit ONE (against Jerry Swindle). These comments by the individual heated up the whole scenario and also lead to the error in judgement by Mr. Swindle.
Further in the aforementioned evidence, Mr. Swindle can be heard saying that the individual is clean. This shows that there was no malicious intent towards the individual by Mr. Jerry Swindle.

Moving on, Mr. Swindle is accused of conspiring against the individual. Your Honor, the suspection was executed by Late Mr. Buster Nutt and that too was done on the orders of VCPD Senior Officer [LRP]David. There is basically no evidence that Mr. Swindle conspired with Mr. Nutt. I would like to read out the definition of conspiracy, which states that, “Conspiracy is an agreement between two or more persons to break the law in the future”. There was no exchange of thoughts or words between Mr. Swindle and Mr. Nutt that clearly show that these two conspired against the individual. Just because Mr. Swindle asked the individual to surrender doesn’t mean that he conspired against the said individual.

I would also like to point out the fact that the evidence, Exhibit TWO(against Jerry Swindle) only shows that the individual was suspected. There is no evidence showing that the suspected individual was arrested.
Your Honor, the Miranda rights are told to an individual when he is being arrested or detained, and this was basically a suspection, which was ordered by Senior Officer [LRP]David and executed by Mr. Nutt, by the way.

Therefore, it is beyond reasonable doubt that my client is being falsely accused of crimes he didn’t even commit.

TO: UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT, 196 HAVANA HIGHWAY, VICE CITY, MIAMI.
FROM: THE DESK OF LEAD PROSECUTOR KOWALSKI, FBI HEADQUARTERS, OCEAN BEACH, VICE CITY, MIAMI.

RESPONSE TO DEFENSE:

The United States wishes to respond to the claims by the defense.

Now, talking about the accusations made against Mr. Jerry Swindle; the first accusation is that he endangered the life of an individual. Your Honor, Mr. Swindle mis-interpreted the GPS for a bomb and it was just a case of human error. There is basically no evidence that any bodily harm was done to the individual. Also, no evidence shows that any body harm was even intended. Literally nobody took any physical actions against the individual and when the individual stated that it was a GPS; Mister Swindle instantly returned it back to him. We can even see a VCPD Official (hezzy) laugh at the situation.
If I was to show you all two identical boxes, could you really state which is a bomb and which is a GPS by just looking at it?
Also, we can clearly see and hear that the individual was swearing and verbally abusing someone at the scene of the search warrant execution in Exhibit ONE (against Jerry Swindle). These comments by the individual heated up the whole scenario and also lead to the error in judgement by Mr. Swindle.
Further in the aforementioned evidence, Mr. Swindle can be heard saying that the individual is clean. This shows that there was no malicious intent towards the individual by Mr. Jerry Swindle.

Your honor, this is a rather absurd question to pose. To mistake a GPS device for an incendiary device is hardly plausible. A police officer would be able to identify an incendiary device, and I would refer the honourable Judge to the case United States of Argonath vs. The Gonzales Mafia (https://www.argonathrpg.eu/index.php?topic=129748.0) in which I refer to exhibit 2 of Defendant 1. This example clearly shows the use of bombs across the state in acts of terrorism, in which they are clearly identifiable.

Furthermore, someone using a verbal term toward Mr. Buster Nutt in response to his aggression is not an excuse for falsely identifying a GPS device as a bomb. If Mr. Swindle cannot do his job properly in a situation on the field without being pressured into endangering an individual's life with false claims, then he shouldn't be on the force.

Mr. Swindle said the individual was clean, however, this does not change the fact that he still endangered a civilian's life by potentially identifying him in front of armed police as some sort of armed terrorist. In a situation where an individual is seen in possession of an incendiary device, competent law enforcement will not hesitate to act. This is why such endangerment from Mr. Swindle is totally and utterly unacceptable and should be punished.

Your honour, this claim of not being able to differentiate between a GPS and a bomb is absurd.

Moving on, Mr. Swindle is accused of conspiring against the individual. Your Honor, the suspection was executed by Late Mr. Buster Nutt and that too was done on the orders of VCPD Senior Officer [LRP]David. There is basically no evidence that Mr. Swindle conspired with Mr. Nutt. I would like to read out the definition of conspiracy, which states that, “Conspiracy is an agreement between two or more persons to break the law in the future”. There was no exchange of thoughts or words between Mr. Swindle and Mr. Nutt that clearly show that these two conspired against the individual. Just because Mr. Swindle asked the individual to surrender doesn’t mean that he conspired against the said individual.

I would also like to point out the fact that the evidence, Exhibit TWO(against Jerry Swindle) only shows that the individual was suspected. There is no evidence showing that the suspected individual was arrested.
Your Honor, the Miranda rights are told to an individual when he is being arrested or detained, and this was basically a suspection, which was ordered by Senior Officer [LRP]David and executed by Mr. Nutt, by the way.

Your honour, I wish to reiterate that Mr. Swindle's conspiracy charges are related to Mr. Nutt's endangerment, dissuading a witness or victim, and breach of the Law Enforcement Code as well as the Constitution during an unlawful arrest used to dissuade a witness or victim. Mr. Swindle has neglected to inform the individual under arrest of his Miranda rights and has therefore breached both the Law Enforcement Code and the Constitution, and should therefore be charged with the same offences as Mr. Nutt for having actually committed the offence, albeit not single-handedly, as well as a charge of conspiracy for his cooperation with Mr. Nutt in these deplorable acts of injustice.

Your honour, what the defence is attempting to call a "suspection" is the issuing of an arrest warrant. It is clear by the evidence against Mr. Swindle in Exhibit 2 that the late Buster Nutt issued an arrest warrant for "interfering with a police investigation". There is no excuse regarding what has occurred here in regards to the reading of Miranda rights (or lack thereof), your honour. It would be one thing if they were read out to the defendant at any stage prior to an official proceeding as mistakes can happen, in which case a legal case for this act would likely not be pursued. However, at no stage whatsoever were they read, which constitutes a violation of the Constitution.

Furthermore, Mr. Swindle still undertook the arrest alongside Mr. Nutt. If another officer ordered it, following an unlawful order is still against the law, and a "Nuremberg defence" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superior_orders) does not excuse the defendant's actions.

The United States firmly believes that anyone involved in a criminal act should be held accountable for that act. As such, if Mr. Swindle isn't to be charged with conspiracy based on the definition cited in the criminal code, then we demand that Mr. Swindle is charged with dissuading a witness or victim, breaching the Law Enforcement Code and the Constitution for his active participation in the crimes committed by his late cohort, Mr. Buster Nutt.

Therefore, it is beyond reasonable doubt that my client is being falsely accused of crimes he didn’t even commit.

The United States will leave this judgment to the courts, and would request that the defence refrains from making such allegations against the United States, especially as no verdict has been issued yet.
