Phony police tactics and harassment
In my last post I mentioned some of the threats I received by the flyball organization.
What follows are a few details regarding one specific threat I received from an out of State law enforcement officer.
The threats came via a phone call to me in my home. Interesting the officer said he was in a different State than where I lived. Huh? How would this officer know me and how did he get my phone number?
I'd never even been in the State he said he was calling from.
The Sargeant identified himself and told me he was 'representing CS and the flyball organization'. I know who CS is; in fact CS and I are from the same State.
But, why on earth was the out of state sargeant involved?
During our phone conversation, he went on to say I 'would be arrested'. How, I asked him, since I wasn't even in his State? Did he witness something I did that warranted an arrest? I truly wanted to understand what was happening.
When I mentioned the laws he became antagonistic, rude and sarcastic. I wondered why he was treating me with such disrespect so afterward I contacted his Police Chief directly.
The Police Chief asked me if I wanted to file a complaint. Yes, I did.
The Police Captain who handled the complaint was in the direct chain of command for the Sargeant. He confirmed the threats toward me were the result of a specific request from the event host and coordinator (CS and the flyball organization as the Sgt. specifically named). He also confirmed there could be a 'civil issue' as result of the organization's behavior toward me.
Needless to say, I was blown away by the behavior of the flyball organization. I believe it is why (because they were unsuccessful in their unwarranted harassment and intimidation tactics) the organization's CEO developed the process for suspension of participant status and at the same time pursued permanent revocation against me.
What reason for permanent revocation was given? Masks.
Is a person who cannot wear a mask a criminal? No.
Is a person who cannot wear a mask one who should never be permitted to play flyball? No.
Is there more to come? Yes.
