Police bang on our door this morning, Christmas Morning!

[WitchyOoman]

Merry flippin' Christmas!!! Indeed!!

It started off with the Police banging on my door. TWO units parked outside - like I'm some kind of dangerous criminal! :-x
Like I might start a shoot-out or something. I think not!!
And WHO was out there??? A CAPTAIN who knows me WELL and a LIEUTENANT who doesn't know me - at least I don't know him... But still - I know this Captain damn WELL and he knows I'm not gonna make trouble for the Police, dammit!! The Capt. didn't even have the balls to get out of his car and come to my door; he sent his Lt instead. *rolling my eyes* I AM SOOO <!> PISSED OFF!!!
They came to serve me with TRO papers... (Temporary Restraining Order)

Only problem: MY <!> name isn't ON those <!> TRO documents! How'd'ya like THOSE BEANS??!!! MY NAME ISN'T D----- J---. And I don't know any D----- J--- either. And, since I don't know her, she sure as hell doesn't live here!! AND THAT POLICE CAPTAIN FRIEND OF MINE KNOWS GOSHDARN WELL THAT MY NAME IS WITCHY AND THAT WE DON'T HAVE ANY BOARDERS HERE!!!!! So why the hell did he and his lieutenant come banging on my damn door on Christmas morning with this shyt?????

Does this constitute harassment? It'd be a real shame to lose friendship over this... but I am SERIOUSLY PISSED OFF!!!!!

What a CRAPPY Christmas this is turning out to be! :-(

Can unnu believe this??? :-|

Blu, do you know Mr Witchy said almost the exact same thing?! He said, "Good thing you aren't black or you'd've been spending Christmas Day telling deaf ears that your name is Witchy Ooman, not D------ J---."

The police Captain sure didn't want me to burn fire. He texted me, 5 hours later: "Merry Christmas! I hope we'll see each other before New Year's Day and share a drink or three."
It took me an hour before I was able to politely text him back: "Merry Christmas right back atcha. Yep, we def need to have a few drinks and chat. As always - stay safe."

It seems that some Haitian ooman gave MY address when she was arrested for cutting up her man. Nice. Now the East Orange cos didn't know me or that it was my address... and the Court didn't know it... but the Orange police sure as hell know me WELL and know my address!! :-x Sooo... why did they bother me on Christmas morn??? They claim that, despite knowing, they legally must attempt to serve the woman at the listed address - mine. harrumph

Yep. This Captain is white. His police Lieutenant is white. The department didn't dare to send black cops to my house onsuch a fool's errand. I noticed that. (NOT that I would have disrespected a black cop! that would NEVER happen. I won't disrespect ANY of our cops.)

You are SO RIGHT! Give the police their name, their address, and - if appropriate - the simple statement that "No, sir/ma'am, I did not <do whatever>." NOTHING else without a lawyer!!

Gosh. Drama follows you around like an afternoon shadow on a sunny day.
