Plus, it might be good to review the following case-law: "The Ball Case, 163 U.S. 662 , 41 L. ed. 300, 16 Sup. Ct. Rep. 1192, establishes that to try a man after a verdict of acquittal is to put him twice in jeopardy, although the verdict was not followed by judgment." KEPNER v. United States, 195 U.S. 100, at 133 (1904) Question-- does double jeopardy prevent a retrying of my case where, as my docket shows, a nolle prosequi (or: "NOLLE PROSSED" as they spell it for my 08/20/2003 entry) was done? --E.g., the plea deal, which got me off even if no innocent verdict was entered? Does that holding apply to me?

Fair Use EXCERPT from July 17, 2014 news story from WTSP: “The city of Lakeland has paid a $25,000 settlement to a woman ordered to shake out her bra during a traffic stop last year. [] A public records request by The Ledger shows a check dated July 7 to 29-year-old Zoe Brugger. [] Authorities say Brugger was pulled over by Lakeland police officer Dustin Fetz in May 2013 for a broken headlight. Silent video taken from the patrol car shows her being forced to shake out her bra multiple times in a search for drugs. The officer also searched her car over her objections. No drugs were found. [] Fetz has not been reprimanded for the search itself, but he served a one-day suspension for not having his microphone on. [] City officials say they're still waiting for an executed release, which will free them from a future lawsuit.” – Source: “Lakeland pays $25,000 in bra-shaking case: The city of Lakeland has paid a $25,000 settlement to a woman ordered to shake out her bra during a traffic stop last year.,” by Associated Press and AP staff writers, WTSP, July 17, 2014, LINK: https://www.WTSP.com/article/news/local/lakeland-pays-25000-in-bra-shaking-case/67-300320420

Point of Order: If this this woman, who had ONE DAY of discomfort got $25,000.oo, how much more am I owed when police illegally put a “call block” on my phone – not only for “regular” dispatch calls – but also, apparently, 911 calls – FOR DECADES (thus call-blocking MY ENTIRE FAMILY from calling police!!) – and threatened me with slandering my good name (falsely accusing me of harassing phone calls) if I reported it – and ILLEGALLY violating Public Records Laws when they continually refused to release my phone call to the station showing I was NOT making harassing phone calls – but rather “just following orders” when I called the Internal Affairs to report DOCUMENTED PERJURY. (That's also illegal.)

Fair Use EXCERPT from Aug 31, 2019 news story from BuzzFeed: “Debra Stevens, 47, was delivering newspapers for the Southwest Times Record early in the morning on Saturday, Aug. 24, when her car was swept away in a flash flood...Aric Mitchell, a spokesperson for the department, told BuzzFeed News the dispatcher who answered is named Donna Reneau.” – Source: “A 911 Operator Is Being Accused Of Being "Rude" And "Condescending" To A Drowning Victim Before She Died: "You're not gonna die, I don't know why you're freaking out.",” by Stephanie McNeal, BuzzFeed News Reporter, BuzzFeedNews, August 31, 2019, LINK: https://www.BuzzFeedNews.com/article/stephaniemcneal/911-call-arkansas-debbie-stevens-drowned

Point of Order: If this this 911 dispatcher nearly got fired (and was taken to task by numerous news outlets), for merely being "rude," how much **MORE** should the Lakeland (Fla.) POLICE Department be taken to task, and possibly sued? (Answer: The drowning woman was at least able to call 911 and get help. In **my** case, it is documented—in excruciating detail—that both the non-emergency and 911 numbers were call-blocked for me--and my entire family--at our home number.)

CONCLUSION: Yes, the mayor and I DID “test out” the 911 (and also, at my request, the non-emergency dispatch aka the “main call-in” number to the police station). Both had **finally** unblocked me, no doubt because they knew that they were about to be caught red-handed violating the law, and publicly embarrassed, not to mention, possibly sued for egregious & gross Civil Rights violations. Some have suggested that since my phone is unblocked, I should just “let it drop.” – Oh, really!?.. – Let me ask YOU a question, OK? What if YOUR family was captured and held hostage for roughly THIRTEEN (13) YEARS, and not released except under exceptional duress, pressure, and threats of lawsuits & embarrassment, ok? Now, you might forgive them, so far as not being vindictive, hating them, or seeking revenge. Forgive, as my Christian faith instructs, ok? Forgive, yes, but forget? Let it drop? Would YOU just “drop it,” if YOUR family was finally released? Hell no! And neither should I. – How many **other** victims will they bully? I think it should be looked into, addressed, and that we should never forget—never again. Craziness like these things (not just illegal call-blocking, but the illegal perjury, & other abuses) unnecessarily places lives in danger. Word.
