Gabriel Adams vs. VCPD et al.

[Huntsman]

INTRODUCTION

Honorary Judge,

I have suffered great injustice of unlawful detainment and arrest under false pretenses and no legal arguments whatsoever. In other words, I have been unlawfully imprisoned against my will for a crime that does not exist in the state of Vice City as according to its constitution.

On 6th January, 2019, I was exploring the public parking lot in Little Haiti - Viceport junction (ex. 1), testing out the various vehicles that were there. As I was on medic duty, I have been notified that a citizen named Nylez Straccione, the owner of the warehouse that is infront of the parking lot, has called the law enforcement on me, accusing me of tresspassing and what not. Thinking it was probably best I leave, I entered a Banshee that was parked in this public parking lot, which is owned by a citizen named [EAF]Kessu, and drove off. However, I have hardly left the parking lot when a VCPD squad car ordered me to pull over, so I have complied and stopped immediately. The police officer on scene, Sergeant [LRP]Aky, has ordered me to leave the vehicle, as allegedly it was a privately owned vehicle. However, as I have over three years of law enforcement experience in the state of Vice City, as well as working in the Federal Bureau of Investigations for some time, having been well accustomed to our constitution, I know for a fact that driving an owned vehicle is not a crime unless the vehicle was stolen in the presence of the owner who was using the car at the moment. No man has ever been arrested for the sole reason of using an owned vehicle and it was common knowledge that it is not against the law. I explained to the officer that I am committing no crime, yet would not listen and placed me under arrest.

The owner of the warehouse, Nylez Straccione, then tried to argue that I was tresspassing and claiming that the non-existent mayor of Vice City has granted him rights to the public parking lot, which leads me to believe that such claims are false for the fact that there is completely no legal document or record of such handover taking place, nor does Vice City have a mayor or any body of the sort. Ultimately, the only legal body that could have granted such rights to this man is the court, which I am well aware did not happen.

I was then taken to a precinct where I was interviewd by VCPD Detective Inspector Kowalski, and, then an FBI Agent named Maddy, who was rather rude and unprofessional. I was told I am being charged with Grand Theft Auto, which is a crime undefined by the constitution, and then, stating the quote from the constitution below, they have switched my charge to Thievery. I quote the constitutional ordinance they have based this on below:

Act I
    Under punishment by law enforcement, no individual may commit murder, acts of thievery or burglary,
    assault, vandalism, rape, abduction, fraud, or any act of harming one's wealth, property, or health.


However, act of "Thievery" is undefined by the constitution, and it is a valid legal argument that a vehicle that is not locked and left in a public parking lot is not and has never in practice been a crime. People use non-state, citizen owned vehicles to commute all the time, and none of them, as confirmed by both Sergeant Aky and Detective Inspector Kowalski, have ever been arrested unless they have refused to return the vehicle when its legal owner has requested them to do so. Then, Nylez Straccione tried to imply that I have violated his private property, which again, as shown by exhibit 1, is a state owned property, which would make the charge valid as I would have stolen a vehicle from a private property with a guardian. He tried to present several documents that are invalid. None of the police officers present could properly counter my arguments, so I was getting impatient of my time being wasted. I asked them to either set me free as I have committed no crime punishable by the constitution, or they imprison me and have their decision challenged in the court. I was then charged and imprisoned.

When I was released, I decided to return to the parking lot to take evidence that it is, in fact, public property. I was then confronted by Mr. Straccione, who has threatened me with a deadly weapon and barred me from entering public property. I was unlawfully prohibitted from entering public property. The police officers have, once again, arrived. However, now, when I have pointed out that the supposed document of Mr. Nylez Straccione being a legal custodian of the parking lot bears no legal value, have changed their tone and allowed me to enter the parking lot. I find this as sign of great legal incompetence and inconsistency of judgement.

DEMANDS

For this reason, I express the following demands:

*That Vice City Police Department compensate unlawful detention and imprisonment by 10.000 ARD
*That the court evalutes whether VCPD Sergeant Aky, VCPD Detective Inspector Kowalski, and FBI Special Agent Maddy did or did not violate my individual rights by stripping me of my individual freedom without any legal basis.
*Whether Mr. Nylez Straccione has any rights to claim the parking lot in question as his own private property, despite all legal documents showing otherwise. And, if not, to clarify that this parking lot is of public use and to order Mr. Nylez Straccione to stop claiming and using such property as their own.
*For Mr. Nylez Straccione to be investigated for document forgery and obstruction of justice by misleading officers of the law by providing fake documents of property ownership
*To absolve me, Gabriel Adams, and my reputation from unlawful charges of Thievery.

I also request that Detective Inspector Kowalski publishes the investigation audio recording to this court case.

Date: 6th of January, 2020
Time: 15:08
Subject: Court Summon

Your honor,

As I've been summoned after my 911 call to Sergeant Aky of the VCPD, I hereby will make an official statement regarding the matter.
I own Cam's Can Openers, a warehouse on the border of Viceport and Little Havana. After a successful start when it comes to selling tenants, I decided it was time for an expansion!

Spoiler for Hiden:

http://www.argonathrpg.eu/index.php?topic=125240.0

Above you see the official webpage of my business, with additional information regarding said parking lot with the fact that I RENT this parking lot, and that I have asked my tenants to voluntarily park their vehicles at this parking lot with the promise that I will make sure their vehicles are not touched by people who shall not touch these vehicles. In the same topic you see a list of vehicles with their license plates, and their respective owner written down.

Spoiler for Hiden:

From the list of tenants you'll notice that every single vehicle parked on that parking lot is owned by one of my tenant holders whom I've promised to protect their vehicles.

I have called the police regarding trespassers and thieves of vehicles in many occassions before with the same result: Them to be charged with a crime!

Today was no different, the plaintiff of this case, who admits that he took a vehicle that didn't belong to him, took a yellow Banshee with the license plate VC-C1097, owned by [EAF]Kessu after he noticed I called the cops on him.
As soon as he was apprehended, with the same vehicle, badly damaged, he immediately claimed he had committed no crime. However, under section III. Criminal Law, it is written in Ordinance IV, Act 1 that, and I quote: Under punishment by law enforcement, no individual may commit murder, acts of thievery or burglary, assault, vandalism, rape, abduction, fraud, or any act of harming one's wealth, property, or health

Now only did the plaintiff, Mr. Adams, commit theft by stealing this vehicle from the parking lot without permission, he also harmed my property in question by taking vehicles from the lot and parking them in the middle of the highway, right in front of said warehouse.

Therefore I filed an official complaint against this individual for theft and distortion.
If necessary, I can call up Sergeant Aky who saw the vehicles parked in the middle of the highway and apprehended the suspect in the aforementioned Banshee.

Any further questions towards me I will happily respond to, your honor.

Signed,

Nylez Straccione
Cam's Can Openers

Your Honour,

In the response to Mr. Straccione, I will not be debating on the validity of my alleged crime and whether the constitution outlines the term "Thievery" adequately enough for me to be charged by something that was never generally considered a crime. I will leave that to the honourable judges to decide as I have already stated what I want to state on the matter.

However, the defendant's response in regard to the public parking lot does not prove nor disprove anything at all. The defendant still fails to provide any legal basis on which he claims public, state owned property as his own and why he feels it is appropriate to deny citizens entry to a public property. The defendant has comitted all of those misdeeds, as proven above. On top of that, he provided the law enforcement agents investigating my case with falsified documents of a supposed "mayoral permission" for the defendant to use this property, which he has failed to provide in this case. The defendant claiming that parking lot as his own in his bussiness's advertisement does not make that parking lot his own. On top of that, the defendant seems to be monetizing from a state owned property by charging people for parking their vehicles there. I still stand by my claim.

[Huntsman]

After a legal consultation with my legal councilor, I am dropping the case.

* Inspector Kowalski with the State Police walks into the courthouse and presents the courts with the requested interrogation footage as evidence and reference while the case is still under proceedings. ((AKA NOT CLOSED YET))

Footage

To the courts,

I wish to state for the record that Mr. Gabriel Adams was found guilty of theft by the State Police and the FBI. We stand by our actions and believe they were in order. The basis for the one and only thievery charge I arrested Mr. Adams for is as follows:

Act I
    Under punishment by law enforcement, no individual may commit murder, acts of thievery or burglary,
    assault, vandalism, rape, abduction, fraud, or any act of harming one's wealth, property, or health.

It is more than clear enough here that thievery is illegal, and thievery is an act of harming one's wealth or property. We feel that all actions taken by myself (Police Detective Inspector Kowalski), Sergeant Andrew Aky, and FBI Special Agent Templeton Peck were warranted and legal to proceed with their execution.

As for the case, it is up to the courts what happens, I simply wish to present my statement and the interrogation cassette rip upon the plaintiff's request, as evidence and as a reference for the Argonath Federal Court, as well as a defense for the State Police and the FBI's involved personnel, including myself.

I thank the Argonath Federal Court for their time.

Signed,
Police Detective Inspector Kowalski
High Scale Crimes Division, Detective Bureau - State Police.
