Today is August 07th, 2013, I am in New York City, at the Manhattan Courts System, fighting a case among other, for Criminal Trespass. I have to wait till 2:00PM to confront the issue.
This is what happened! One morning after Hurricane Sandy, a short time after October, I sat in the NJ Transit bus terminal. It was the first snow day of the year and in front of my eyes, it was becoming winter. I was cold so I went to the bus depot. A couple of officers asked if I had a ticket, I said no, and they took my Driver's License, and detained me.
Moments later, my world changed, and today since, I have five open cases relating to the same issue. I didn't know it was trespassing to sit at a bus depot. I presuppose that because world controversy, the killings of terrorist leaders, president in the Fertile Crescent, and other issues like protesting on Wall Street and the sever protest of the Syrians, have convoluted the minds of today's law enforcers. I believe that an incident such as mine, should be analyzed differently. The officers let everyone else walk away without a ticket, they never seen my face, so I am barely responsible for annoyance, therefore the should have ask me to leave.
Since then, I have developed five cases, one Trespassing and public lewdness. Its illegal to stand on New York City roofs. I have never heard of this. As long as I live, I can only image and be rational, that in a big urban city where there are lots of roofs, that people will utilize them. I though it was bizarre when I was told that I was charged with public lewdness, because I was doing my laundry and it was on the top floor, so the only place to go is the roof, if you don't want to be seen dressed informal. I wasn't naked! I was the only person around, so how can this be considered public lewdness?
The other cases are one for pissing in the public! Which I did, I was pissing in my pants and has to go. A couple of patrol cars pulls up from far, while I was buckling my pants, they didn't see me do anything, because I had a big bag to cover my actions.
Another case for trespassing is in the same area. This time an individual called and said that I was looking in windows. Whatever! They asked for an order protection. This sounds weird, an order of protection by a person that you've never met. Then the allegations. Its like saying well this is what's happening and making it extra important, then making it a rule. Like sports, if we are losing to somebody that doesn't know the game or house rules we can arrange some along the way to cheat our request.
