My complaint charges that the named individuals are guilty of >attempted murder and violations of the Americans with Disabilities Act, >Unruh Act, and the Compassionate Use Act. > >The complaint is against three deputies, including the head of the North >Tahoe Narcotics Task Force, Michael Lyke. Part of my complaint includes the >following stern warning to the Placer Sheriffs Department: > >"In addition, I wish to call your attention to the fact that disabled >persons are protected under the anti-hate crime statutes, which provide for >sentence enhancements for persons willfully threatening persons in the >exercise of state or federal constitutional or statutory rights or damaging >their property, or the property of a public or private institution because >of their disability or perceived disability or association with persons with >disabilities. (See Cal. Pen. Code, §§ 422.6, 422.7 and 422.75.)" > >The second action was filed with the California Attorney General and is a >civil rights complaint against Sheriff Ed Bonner, District Attorney Bradford >Fenocchio, Investigator Michael Lyke, Deputy D.A. Christopher Cattran and >Deputy D.A. Eugene Genie. All of these men knew of my life-threatening >illness and chose to ignore it, nearly killing me and violating my civil and >medical rights under the Americans with Disabilities Act, Unruh Act, and the >Compassionate Use Act. > >The third action was a 45 page formal civil rights complaint against former >Attorney General, Dan Lungren and former Orange County Sheriff, Brad Gates. >The complain details how these two men gutted the Compassionate Use Act and >waged war against me and other patients. My complaint explains how Lungren >and Gates, based upon prima facie evidence and the written policies >promulgated under their hand, are guilty of conspiracy to deprive myself and >other seriously ill Californians of the 3-year-old established rights as >created by the voters of California under the Compassionate Use Act. > >It has been nearly a year since the January 19th raid on our home. I recall >being shoved into the back of Investigator Michael Lyke's expensive new SUV, >handcuffed and sitting next to Michele as she was quietly sobbing. I looked >her right in the eyes and told her something that got her and me through >this brutal and outrageous experience: "First it's their turn; then it's >our turn." > >Thanks to you, and thousands like you, we survived their "turn." > >Now it's our turn, and we'll see how these rogue police and officials like a >hefty serving of their own bad medicine. > >Let freedom grow, > >Steve > >---------------------------------------------------------------------------- > >The Interactive verson of the Lungren/Gates Complaint is available at: > >Source: http://www.kubby.com/complaint.lungren.html > >---------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > >High Times writer Preston Peet just did a great story about our new legal >attack on California's drug war criminals: > > LEGAL ASSAULT ON ROGUE COPS ORGANIZED IN CALIFORNIA > > ''They obviously are not going to get it until they get slapped > in the face with lawsuits.' --Steve Kubby > >"I'm looking forward to the trial," Kubby says confidently, "so we can put >the police on trial for breaking California law.
