Sueing of Liberty City Police Department

[James Conway]

Dear honorable judge,

I hereby sue the Liberty City Police Department for unprofessionalism and unfair treatment of a Liberty City civilian.

My demands
I demand a compensation of 200 Argonath dollars from the Liberty City Police Department for being jailed for a non existing crime. Also I demand a symbolic fine of 1 Argonath dollar to be given to the Liberty City Police Department.

People involved
Harzy
Stefanos
Paul Frost ([Apt]Freezer)

My story
I was making my exit from the Meadows Park Highway to a gas station bordering Willis, a police officer named Harzy (identified later) was signalling me with his sirens and voice via the megaphone to pull over. I stopped at the gas station bordering Willis. I parked at a carspot within the gas station, off the main road. The police officer stayed signalling me behind me to pull over. I was surprised as I was already pulled over in a parking spot. He kept shouting over his megaphone, I was becoming confused and afraid. What is this man doing? I stepped out the vehicle as a last resort to communicate with the officer. I had not committed any crime, probably only a minor traffic offense, which was not spoken of. The police officer commanded me to return to my vehicle, but before I was able to respond I was suspected and 2 police officers surrounded me with pulled weapons. As if I was a danger of any kind. I surrendered immediately, I was cuffed and taken to the police cruiser. To my surprise I was asked if I wanted an investigation. Why would an investigation be needed? I have not committed any crime and I was not even told of what my crime was. I was jailed without pardon.

I refer in my story to "the police officer". In this case it is police officer Harzy. I was pulled over at a parking spot, but the officer still commanded me to pull over. It made no sense. My trust in this officer has been damaged. How can justice be served if I am treated like this? My demands are reasonable, I seek no profit of this, only justice. Evidences of the situation will be attached in the letter.

Whatever the outcome is, I will respect it and honor it.

With kind regards,
James Conway, a concerned citizen.

I made this court case to improve roleplay and see what possibilities there are in our server. Do not take it as a personal attack, but as a roleplay opportunity.

Dear court,

on behalf of the Liberty City Police Department, I, Chief of Police Charles F. Offdensen, present our point of view on the incident and why we believe the actions taken were right.

The incident occured while LCPD sergeant Paul Frost and officers Harzy and Stefanos were patrolling on the northern part of Dukes - FIAP expressway. During their patrol, the officers have noticed a case of reckless driving (by mr. Conway) going on and made the decision to pull him over in order to stop him from being a danger. They did so by using the police cruiser's emergency signals (siren) and megaphone, in which they specifically instructed mr. Conway to "pull over on the side of the road".

Instead, mr. Conway, who could have pulled over right after the highway exit has ended, decided to prolong his route and stop at a gas station park spot. Considering the instructions were very clear and were repeated at least once more, this seemed suspicious to the police officers. After mr. Conway parked his car in the earlier mentioned gas station parking spot, he was, as he says himself, again instructed to pull over on the side of the road. Mr. Conway has not listened to those instructions and instead, he stepped out of his vehicle, which only raised more suspicion towards him. For all our officers knew, he could be under the influence of alcohol or narcotics and potentially dangerous.

Once mr. Conway stepped out of his car, officer Harzy clearly told him to sit back inside. Again, mr. Conway disregarded the law enforcer's instructions, which resulted into the officers deciding to take him into custody for "failure to comply", which can be seen as violation of Act 46 (Obstruction of justice) of the Liberty City laws. Mr. Conway has then finally decided to comply and let the officers on scene cuff him and transport him to their vehicle as a suspect.

Since mr. Conway did not attempt to evade the law any further, he was offered the possibility of having an investigation, which, if sufficient explanation to his acts was provided, would result into dropping charges. However, mr. Conway refused any investigation to take place, and was thus transported to Alderney State Correctional Facility for the offence stated in the paragraph above.

We believe mr. James Conway is guilty of the traffic offence of "reckless driving" as well as "obstructing justice" in the following law enforcer intervention. We hereby request his demands to be dismissed as invalid, and mr. Conway to pay the court for its expenses. The Liberty City Police Department does not seek any additional act of justice to be done on mr. Conway.

With best regards,
Chief of Police Charles F. Offdensen
Liberty City Police Department

Honorable Judge,

Chief Charles F. Offdensen speaks as if I were treated correctly. His assumptions are merely based on testimonials of his officer. He offers no witnesses of whose opinions are objectively. His officers opinions are, of course, only subjective. Though I have to fare that I do not have a witness of that myself.

I did not pull over on the side of the road, I pulled over at the gas station. Simply because this is safer (the main road is known to have more traffic). I did what the officer could not, garauntee safety.  Also Charles F. Offdensen speaks as if I was told what I did wrong, though no officer pointed me to my rights and they did not tell me what I did wrong. For all I know the officers were just going for a simple chitchat with me. I was on the parking spot at the gas station ( which is a perfect place to stop, since stopping at the end of the exit of the highway is almost the same ) and the officer commanded me to pull over at the road. I do not believe it would have any cause if I reversed and go back out of the parking spot to the road (which would cause more trouble). Also since any communication attempt with the officer was futile, I did exit the car. The officer did not give me any chance to get back in my car, he marked me as a criminal for something I do not even know. Also the officer asked if I needed an investigation. I believe that, that requests seems invalid because of the following.

• The suspecting officer could never be the investigating officer.
• I have not been informed of what I have done wrong.
• It's clear that an investigation is purely unnecessary based on the fact that no crime has been committed. The suspecting officer clearly was not in control and decided that he wanted to show that he is the boss and no one else.

Also I wish to inform that I only saw the officer when I was parked at the gas station. Making the command "pull over to the side of the road" completely useless as I would need to pull out the parking spot and drive back to the road ( wouldn't that just be dangerous?).

Since the officer never said what I did, even when I was jailed, and since his intentions were completely unknown, I advise to ignore the demands of Charles F. Offdensen. Their treatment of the common civilian is completely disrespectful and against their policy of "Serving the public". They clearly lack the respect of their procedures and should be fined "symbolicly" to show them they are not untouchable.

With kind regards,
A troubling Civilian

[Harzy]

Dear Honorable Judge,

As Mr.Charles F. Offdensen, The Chief of Liberty City Police Department mentioned, That the incident occurred while Sergeant Paul, Me and Officer Stefanos were patrolling, When suddenly Mr.Conway appeared with his vehicle and he was driving recklessly.

As the Chief mentioned, I told the civilian (Mr.Conway) To Pull over to the side of road, But instead, He parked in the parking lot of a Gas Station, I told him many times to pull over to the side of road, And I demonstrated to him how should he pull over, But he didn't do anything of what was being told to him, Then he stepped out of his vehicle, I told him to step back inside, But again he didn't comply, Which made me suspect him for "Failure to comply".

Mr.Conway said that it is dangerous to pull over at the end of the highway, Here, He tries to be peaceful, And careful about the other innocent civilians, Like he wasn't doing something wrong, Which is "Driving Recklessly".

The traffic where we attempted to pull over Mr.Conway wasn't so heavy, So he was able to reverse out of the Gas station and pull over correctly.

Also, When we offered him an investigation, No one mentioned that "I" will investigate him, Every officer knows his rights and his limits, And i know that i can't investigate you, I just offered you an investigation, When the Sergeant of LCPD and the Detective II of DETD Division, Was there, So he could investigate him...
No one would refuse getting an investigation if he was innocent, And Mr.Conway clearly denied getting an investigation.

He also mentioned that we didn't tell him what did he do, Now, This is our mistake?, Clearly No.
Mr.Conway didn't comply with our orders at all, And he was doing what was in his mind.

For that Point:

Also I wish to inform that I only saw the officer when I was parked at the gas station. Making the command "pull over to the side of the road" completely useless as I would need to pull out the parking spot and drive back to the road ( wouldn't that just be dangerous?).

We did tell him pull over before he enters the gas station, And our sirens were on since we saw him driving recklessly.

The situation was fully under control, Me and the other officers were respectful toward Mr.Conway, We didn't abuse him or insult him at all.

We do serve the civilians, We protect and we respect, We always was on the civilian side in the toughest situations and the easiest.

Best Regards,
LCPD Officer Harzy.

I respectfully withdraw my court case.
