Local Villiage Police

Currently, my case load is a local woman with feral cats she has adopted as her own, being threatened by the Local Police Department and says she is being Harassed by the Chief of Police himself.

The issue has been ongoing for some time with a tit for tat attitude by the peritrator of the issuance, James White, and the two neighbors he feels are violating his property rights by allowing their cats roam free on his yard. The complaint however does not stop with the cats, it continues to newer levels with the request by Mr. White fo the village to stop possums and racoons from going on his property as well. The request that makes me chuckle the most is the request for the village to make birds stop deficating on his property as well. I'm not quite sure what Mr. White is expecting to be done but I do realize that issue is unfortunately unavoidable.

My effective suggestion to the village to deal with the problem at hand for the time being is to amend the "pooper-scooper" law to include domesticated cats, thereby making it the duty of the owner of the pet to clean up the defication on the demised premise. This, however, is not enough, so it was suggested to Mr. White to buy moth balls to keep the animals away as they do not like the smell. Mr. Whites response was that he could not afford moth balls at the dollar store. One gets a sense that the complaint is not about the cats but rather a new land owner trying to assert his authority over the neighborhood.

I think i should state that I dont feel that the Village Police are corrupt in this issue. Just there seems to be an unclear, severly lacking in focus on laws and statutes, in regards to the issue at hand. I have done nothing but supply all the relevant and pertinant information from a legal standpoint but the issue is like a dog chasing its tail and it is just getting worse. To the point that Mr. White in his dire frustrations is now taking it out on the neighborhood with gross misconduct in public to the point of lewdness.

Update to the State Police Issue

At the begining of this month, after being fed up with the gross negligence of the state police and the situation with my daughter being completely ignored, I went up to the Super Intendants Office and tried to have a conference with him.

Again his office called up IAB and sent an LT down to talk to me. The LT said the investigation was not going to be looked into or evaluated on its merrits as this is not CSI this is real life. I said in turn that maybe if we started investigating Murders and rapes at this level everything would be half-assed. He then told me that if I swore onbe more time I would be arrested and to this I said, I would have gladly had this conversation in your office, you however chose the more public venue not I. He left and I said I would stay there until someone spoke to me.

I called up the Inspector General and told the Inspector General what was occurring and specifically stated I wanted Preston Felton to be listed as one of the people violating my rights.
While on the phone, the guard officer they assigned to me to make sure i didnt swear again so if i did he could arrest me, radiod up to Feltons Office and let them know what I was doing.

5 Minutes after sitting down I was greeted by the LT again as well as Felton. We sat in the lobby and we had our conversation. It was off the record which to be honest I don't care. They gave me three out of five of my contentions, but refuse to investigate whether Salatel did hit the car or not because they believe it cant be substantiated. The plan and I was given Feltons Word on this, is to make Salatel Re study Pursuit Proceedure and V&T Law. The IAB would contact Cairo and find out what the hold up on my daughters complaint is and get it moving.(This has yet to occure). And Officer Salatel is to refrain from harrassing me.

1 Week after this, Preston Felton resigned from his position.

Perjury By a Cop in the Court of Law

Perjury In New York is Defined as Follows:

http://ypdcrime.com/penal.law/article210.htm
Perjury Proof

Officer Salatel swore under oath that my speed was less than 65 miles an hour. He stated this inorder for the criteria to be fulfilled for V&T 1120b which states that slow moving vehicles (going slower than the normal flow of traffic which is the speed posted) need to be in the right hand lane.

According to the Thruway Aurhority, the distance between exit 31 (Utica) and 23 (Albany) for which I drove the night in question is 91.1 Miles and takes 1 hour and 24 minutes. According to the New York State Thruway Authorities EZ Pass Data it took me 1 hour and 34 minutes to include the time that the vehicle in question was pulled over. Given that the Officer questioned me, then took the time to fill out the Ticket after running my liscence, how much time over 1 hour and 24 minutes could it have possibly taken me to drive? This goes to the assertion in court that I maintained that I was doing the Speed Limit at the time (65) as was cooberated by trooper Salatel's supervisor Sgt Dollard. Trooper Salatel committed perjury in court. I had alerted the judge in court and she did nothing. She didn't even want the evidence. I alerted Sgt Miserendino and he said again that he refuses to look into any perjury that the ticket was valid and not harrassment and that he hopes I have a good new year and I stop all this crap, in those words. I would stop all this "crap" if someone would get off their ass and do their job.

Re: FOIL Request No. (F08-0001)
Dear Mr. Oathout:
In response to your Freedom of Information request of January 1, 2008, pleased be advised the Authority's video cameras record only in real-time and any preserved images are retained for a period of three days and destroyed. As such, there is no video footage pertaining to your request. Attached please find incident history details for four accidents which occurred between Mileposts 161 and 171 during August 2 * 5 of 2007.
As requested in your e-mail dated January 2, 2008, Exit 31 of the Thruway is located at Milepost 232.85.
Please be advised there is no reproduction fee for electronic responses.
At this time, your request is considered a closed file.
Sincerely,Jill B. WarnerRecords Access Officer.

According to testimony Salatel said he we could clearly see each other from mile post 167 to 166 for 1 mile. Given that exit 31 is located at mile post 233, there is a distance of 67 miles. Given that the easy pass data says that I entered at 7:30 and the ticket at mile post 166 says 8:30 which is exactly 1 hour you come up with a speed of 67 miles per hour. 67 miles per hour is not impeeding the normal flow of traffic and to assert such a claim is erronious and perjurous. The officer in question is lying and has been lying consistantly without any repercusions. This is unfair to me and the other citizens of this state who have suffered similar.
