Help Us Fight Back Against 20 Years of Systemic Abuse and Retaliation

My name is Richard. For over twenty years, my family and I have been caught in a cycle of unlawful probation practices, judicial misconduct, and retaliatory enforcement spanning three counties.

This is not speculation.
This is not rumor.
This is documented.

We possess time-stamped text messages, recorded calls, and official call logs involving county officials — including probation officers and members of a sheriff’s office. We also have court records showing probation violations filed out of district and out of county, signed off by supervisors who had never met or even seen the individual they were violating.

What’s Happening Now

Today, that cycle has started again — but this time, we are adults, parents, and prepared.

My wife is currently under electronic monitoring with a curfew. I am barred from seeing her, despite no new criminal conduct. We have been displaced and are living out of a camper while trying to secure short-term housing so our four children — including our youngest — can spend Christmas together.

We are losing housing, stability, and income — not due to guilt, but due to retaliatory probation enforcement tied to an advertising injury claim that re-triggered unresolved misconduct from years past.

Retaliation After Compliance

We have been moving quietly, lawfully, and in full compliance.

My wife formally notified probation in advance that she would be staying at a new location within the same county. No travel outside jurisdiction occurred. No written condition was violated.

Despite this, probation imposed a $75,000 bond based on allegations that were factually false, including a claim that she violated conditions by trick-or-treating with our children.

That evening, she was with family — our children and my mother. Our vehicle was overheating and unsafe to drive, which is why she rode with another individual out of necessity. We have since learned that this individual is directly connected to prior probation misconduct involving her case, raising serious concerns of retaliation and entrapment.

Most concerning, these enforcement actions occurred after compliance, not before. Notification itself appears to have triggered punishment.

We are preserving everything:
• Proof of notification
• Responses received
• Conditions imposed after compliance
• Bonds set without lawful or proportional basis

If probation now attempts to prohibit movement within the same county — without a written condition authorizing that restriction — we will immediately escalate to capital-level civil rights attorneys specializing in probation abuse, retaliatory enforcement, and constitutional violations.
