I want to sue the cop who made a huge mistake when he arrested me and turned my child over to cps to be horribly abused in foster care. My baby was 8 months old reported as healthy and happy when they stole her. She was develpmentally on target and a perfect beautiful child.
A officer drove down a main street in town looking and profiling vehicles hoping to catch an arrest. My friend had parked a van he just bought from friends a few days prior, he parked the van in front of a room I rented for a few days. My friend had given me a ride to the hospital the night before where I was visiting my childs father who had a brain hemorrage recently. When my friend dropped me and my baby off after the visit he left with another friend intending to come back for his van in a few hours.
The officer drove down the street and saw the van on private property of a decent motel and it was parked about aprox 400-450 ft from the street he drove on all the way at the very end of the parking lot since I had the last room. The van was an older model but in no means junky looking 85 or later model. The officer decided to check on the vehicles dmv status and ran the license plate numbers which came back alerting the officer the last paid for registration was in 2002. He looked at the sticker from his car never really got up close to see it. The current years tags were the same dark blue color as the previous years 2002 tags. The officer thought the tags were stolen so he proceeded to get into the van and search to see if anything else was illegal inside and to find out who might own it. No permission given he accessed the van by an unlocked side door because the front doors and back doors were locked. (other people staying at the motel confirmed these facts) He found paperwork inside that had my friends name on it. He knocked on the door next to mine first the guy inside asked who was it the officer lied and said randal who was my friend. The man next door said through the door that he didnt know a randal you must have the wrong room. Then the officer said is this your van parked here. To which the guy replied it was a friend of the next room.
By this time the officer had called for back up which just arrived before he knocked on my door. I asked who it was and had been crying about my childs dad's medical condition so when the officer said randal I just unlocked the door and walked away. Three cops burst into my room telling me I've committed a felony. I said what your joking I haven't done anything wrong and thanx for waking up my sleeping baby who was on the bed. They started searching my room without permission or consent and questioning me about this van parked by my room. I told them it wasn't mine but a friend had left it the night before and was coming to get it soon. They acted as if I had committed murder with it or something. It wasn't even registered to my friend yet and I never even drove the stupid thing but got charged and arrested for this bogus charge of displaying stolen tags which were not actually stolen.
My parental rights to this child have been terminated after I did all the classes and case plan, cps found a lesbian couple who wanted to adopt my child. Instead of putting her with family as I requested they put her into foster care where I have proof of them abusing my poor sweet child, they restrained her to a car seat to prevent her from walking to claim her special needs and get more money from the state.
These charges were dismissed in court I had my friend drive the van to court to prove the tags were in fact 2002 tags the judge dismissed the case. I asked for my child back and cps makes me sign into a reunification plan and services to help me get her back. They do nothing of the sort they are a violation of my rights to enforce upon me when I never abused my child nor have they proven me to be an unfit parent. The cps caseworkers falsified documents the entered into court against me and terminated my parental rights for which I'm fighting in appeals court.
what do I do? I can not believe the heartache caused by this officers mistake. My poor child was kept from her loving parent to be sold at auction for financial gain not to protect her from harm they used me and her to line their pockets. so unfair what kind of lawyer do I need to sue these family wreckers? I have a good life now where I'm stable married and own a home on 15 beautiful acres. My husband stands by me 100% and loves my child as his own. He is the only dada she ever knew since her father is brain damaged and they didn't pedrmit him to have visitation because of that.
please help me by letting me know what I legally can do.
