UPDATE 9-5-2002 @ 4:49 P.M.:........A WORD TO THE WISE!
The following excerpt courtesy The ARRL Letter and The American Radio Relay League:
The ARRL Letter
"==>FLORIDA MAN IMPRISONED, FINED FOR DELIBERATE INTERFERENCE
Florida Citizens Band enthusiast William "Rabbit Ears"
Flippo will spend
a
total of 15 months in federal prison--including two months already
served--and pay a $25,000 fine for jamming Amateur Radio
communications
and transmitting without a license. He'll also spend a year on
supervised
probation following his release, during which he cannot own radio
gear or
firearms. Flippo was convicted in federal court earlier this year on
eight
misdemeanor counts. The sentence is believed to be a record for
convictions of this type.
"It's sent a shock wave across the Amateur Radio and CB
communities in
South Florida," said Ed Petzolt, K1LNC, who was among the
amateurs
targeted by Flippo and who testified at his trial. "The CB guys
are
running for cover. You can buy an illegal CB amplifier pretty cheap
right
now," he quipped. Hams were surprised by the severity of the
sentence.
Federal District Court Judge Daniel T.K. Hurley imposed the sentence
August 29 on Flippo, of Jupiter. He had been found guilty June 19 of
four
counts of operating without a license and four counts of deliberate
and
malicious interference. Flippo has remained in custody since the
guilty
verdict and underwent a psychiatric evaluation prior to sentencing.
The
judge also said he wants a full financial disclosure from Flippo, who
may
face other legal actions unrelated to his radio operation convictions.
At the sentencing, Flippo reportedly wept, said he'd turned over a new
leaf and claimed he was sole support for his wife and two daughters.
None
of his family members was in the courtroom for the sentencing,
however.
The judge was not persuaded, telling Flippo, 60, that he was old
enough
to
have considered the consequences of his actions. Hurley also alleged
numerous incidents of perjury during the course of Flippo's testimony
during his June trial, which ran six-and-one-half days. The jury took
about a half hour to determine that he was guilty on all counts.
According to trial testimony, Flippo primarily had targeted members of
the
Jupiter-Tequesta Repeater Group for jamming and regularly interfered
with
amateur operations, especially on 10 and 2 meters, over an
approximately
three-year period. Following up on the amateurs' complaints, personnel
from the FCC's Tampa District Office visited the Jupiter area at least
twice in 1999 and reported tracking the offending signals to Flippo's
residence.
Flippo had faced a maximum of eight years in prison--one year on each
count--and up to $80,000 in fines. Available opinions were mixed on
whether the sentence Hurley imposed was appropriate. Petzolt, who
assisted
the FCC in gathering evidence and, at one point, had his car rammed by
Flippo's vehicle, said he felt Flippo should have received at least
three
years.
"I thought it was a slap on the wrist," said Petzolt, the
1999 ARRL
International Humanitarian Award winner who also testified at the
trial.
John Criteser Jr, KC4JLY, agreed. "I think he should have gotten
more--at
least five years," Criteser said outside the courthouse. Other
amateurs
who attended the sentencing session, including Jupiter-Tequesta club
member Bert Moreschi, AG4BV, were satisfied with the penalty, however.
Last year, Flippo was convicted in state court of criminal
mischief--also
a misdemeanor--after ramming Petzolt's vehicle. He was sentenced to a
year's probation and ordered him to dispose of his radio equipment. A
ban
on possessing radio gear also was a condition of his federal bond,
which
Hurley revoked during the trial.
Federal authorities arrested Flippo in July 2000. The criminal
charges of
which he now stands convicted covered violations allegedly committed
between June 1999 and April of 2000. The defendant already faces a
$20,000
fine levied in 1999 for unlicensed operation, willful and malicious
interference to Amateur Radio communications, and failure to let the
FCC
inspect his radio equipment.
Hurley ordered Flippo immediately back into custody to start serving
his
sentence. Flippo reportedly was led into and out of the courtroom in
shackles and leg irons."(Enhancement mine).
Just think what they will do to those who steal computers like STUD does!
UPDATE 9-14-2002 @ 4:00 P.M.:........My Very Very Special Friend and Love & FYI!
I have just discovered an answer to the psychiatric status quo that I have been bumping up against in Dupage County and elsewhere!
A few months ago when I was in conference with Mr. Francis Cuneo he had the city social worker in attendence.
In my post meeting meeting with Ms. Mary Voiland,(sp), she was intimating that I come in and talk with her and wanted me to be evaluated. To cut to the chase, she intimated that I should accept medication. As I told the psychiatrist of whom I was forced to see in the jail back in November of 1998 when I was set up as noted in my motion, noted prior in this update page, that I would not participate in their drug programs. I said Senator Eagleton's,(sp), debacle <(former vice presidential candidate to George McGovern back in the '70s is a good example of what happens in repercussion to such participation. She said that I should take the medicine and take my lumps. I said that her program is not necessary and is usually used against anyone who challenges authority in Dupage County.
I suggest my readers get a hold of the book TOXIC PSYCHIATRY, by Dr. Peter Breggin. To quote him: '"the conscience of American psychiatry," speaks out on why therapy, empathy, and love must replace the drugs, electroshock, and biochemical theories of the "New Psychiatry."'
Dr. Breggin is a Psychiatric doctor who supports my position as I see it!
More on this later but be careful to read this before you accept any medication"* if you should find your self in a similar circumstance as I! Additionally note that Dr. Breggin states that if you are already on medication don't suddenly stop. Seek medical direction as to how you should withdraw from that participation.
Your dress this morning was absolutely beautiful!!!! Loved the colors and unique style on you!
UPDATE 9-16-2002 @ 3:47 P.M.:........My Very Very Special Friend and Love!
Please note some additions in the second to last paragraph and last paragraph of the last update above. Note also the new link at the TOXIC PSYCHIATRY title here or above.
Please note a
new old update from July just located and reinserted into the July matrix. Please keep in mind the date it was written for proper context!!!!
It was nice to see you in choir practice last Thursday night. However, what happened to you Sunday. You were certainly missed by not only me but all of us. You know the director needs all the voices he can get. Like "they" say...the more the merrier!
I hope and pray all is well with you. I hope STUD has not been bothering you again. I see that he did bother your sister this morning. I certainly hope that does not happen again. He and I had a meeting of the eyes in the narthex this morning and I think he got the message but will it sink into his cranium? DON'T DO IT AGAIN STUD! If I am not watching my Father in Heaven is and you just can bet on it that he sees all! You just won't get away with your conduct STUD. It is snowballing and your own snowball of deceit always catches up with you. Plan on it!
Let me remind him that nothing has changed in my plans to litigate against him!
He can plan on my pushing for his criminal prosecution in Date Rape and Computer Fraud minimally.
He can plan on being sued for intentional infliction of mental and emotional distress. He can plan on me prosecuting those issues even if the States Attorney does not. He can plan on being prosecuted one way or the other.
He can plan on being prosecuted by the State if I prove my case and I think I will. He can plan on a damage suit for my business losses and whatever else I can determine.
He can plan on long years of litigation and attorney fees and court costs.
I am really starting to believe that this is the calling the Holy Spirit has directed me to do. He will be one of my special pet projects.
His approaching your sister in my viewing in church this morning is just another attempt on his part to further antagonize me mentally and emotionally not to mention you and your sister. Note that he did it behind your back when you were talking to our friends. Just the way he operates...slithers in behind when "no one" is looking.
I will make him responsible for his acts. If I find that he even tries or has tried to instigate more police action he will be the sorriest STUD in "town". He is simply using the police to do his dirty work. He is taking them for a ride. He knows their weaknesses and is pressing their buttons on them too. He clearly is nothing much more than a lowly
Little Lord Fauntleroy pot calling the little white kettle black as I have said before. However, his status will not last much longer!
UPDATE 9-16-2002 @ 7:28 P.M.:........FYI!
Well folks, tomorrow morning is hearing day on my motions for Change of Venue. I will be motioning also for an extension of time to file my copious notes in conjunction to the original motion.
Too many problems have interfered with my efficiencies.
1) Bicycle wheel failures several times in the last month cutting literally days into my schedule.
2 )Notebook computer gave up the "ghost" and I am looking for a replacement so I can get the data off my hard drive in the old notebook.
3) The derailleur on my bike went bye bye and took approximately two days out of my schedule not to mention the delays over the last three weeks from stop gap repairs.
4) I was attacked by three men at my bench about two weeks ago on the weekend and I have found my self needing much more sleep due to post traumatic shock. This has further hampered my efficiencies in research and completion.
5) Files on which the original records were printed, (fax paper), are faded and need special recovery processing as well as retyping. Very time consuming and expensive processes. Approximately 100 pages of information have to yet be recovered.
6) Files on floppies that might contain some of the documents that are printed on fax paper have not yet been located out of hundreds of floppy disks that need review. They were definitely on the computer that was taken in my storage fiasco.
7) Lack of finances has frequently interfered with timely recovery from all of the above noted circumstances.
Your prayers are always appreciated.
More on this later.
UPDATE 9-18-2002 @ 8:00 P.M.:........FYI!
Here is the latest on the Naperville litigation.
Court call was at 10:30 AM. I waited from 10:30 AM thru 12:10 PM. My name was called and rescheduled for the 1:30 PM call. My case was called around 1:45 or 2 PM. I notified Judge Dwyer that he was named in the issues at hand in the motions and thus the case should be removed to another judge. He said he read all the motions of issue and said that he did not remember his acts back in 1998 and that he was recused for cause. He thought the case was given him from Judge Creswell. I indicated to him that it was the other way around. He was recused and Judge Creswell took the trial.
Judge Dwyer agreed to have the hearing reassigned. Since he is the presiding judge of the division he reassigned it to Judge Burke. I informed him that Judge Burke, although not yet mentioned in the motion, was also a part of the scenario if issue. He was the bail bond judge at the jail when I was incarcerated. (He was the judge that refused to lower my bail so that I could more likely be bonded out. That did not happen and I ended up in jail that time for approximately 26 days until trial was had.)
Judge Dwyer set the new hearing date for October 22, 2002 at 9:30 AM in Room 4010 before Judge Burke.
I will proceed from there at that time.
I continued my legal research in the law library the balance of the day and am finding some on point case law that should exonerate my person. More work is ongoing and will be presented at trial if that should occur.
Hopefully, Naperville and Mr. Francis Cuneo will see that it would be far more advantageous to drop this whole issue and take their lumps on false arrests than to pursue it and run up the bill on the city debt and taxpayer burden. $10,000, $20,000, $30,000, $40,000, $50,000 or more folks. Is it worth the City of Naperville paying that kind of money out of its budget for a malicious and frivolous prosecution? And I have not even touched upon litigious actions against Amtrak! Time will tell if the City of Naperville is going to see the “Christmas tree” or not!
I do intend to tact to this case very tightly and see it through to Federal
Court as I notified Mr. Cuneo on August 30, 2002 when I served him with my response to his motion to strike my motion for change of venue from Dupage County.
Of all things he refused to give me a receipt for the personal service of papers on him prior to my warnings of Federal Court! Hard Ball it appears is what is the name of this "game" folks. I intend to respond!
The bottom line folks is that Naperville is trying to put me on an eternal treadmill. Their purpose is not enforcement of law and legal issues. Their purpose is to make me disappear. THAT I DON’T INTEND TO DO! "Club" Naperville has to learn that this is the United States of America not a community of privileged and bigoted Prima Donnas that believe only they have equal rights under the law!
UPDATE 9-20-2002 @ 6:43 P.M.:........FYI!
Wednesday morning on the way to Mass at around 5:55 AM on Ogden Avenue a few blocks west of Yackley someone in a gray sedan suddenly pulled out in front of me making what appeared to be a very wide two lane turn from the side street to my right so suddenly and close to me that I had to swerve to avoid collision but almost ended up in the oncoming lane.
It appeared to be a woman. I managed to catch up to her at the light long enough to get the plate numbers.
The act seemed so closely timed that one could construe it as deliberate. It is possible that she did not see me but my gut and my closeness to her suggested she knew what she was doing. It could have been an attempt to put me into the side of her car or force me into the oncoming traffic.
Fortunately Providence and my experience from over at least 40 years helped me keep control of the situation and neither circumstance happened however I stopped just short of coming into the oncoming lane.
Had I lost control and landed on the road I could have been run over by traffic from behind. As you know with bicyclists this kind of scenario can be fatal!
The driver's plate numbers will be submitted to a police officer investigating similar incidents over the last three years.
My bicycle is still having problems even with a new wheel the spokes are popping for some strange reason. I have made temporary repairs and guess I will have to locate some heavy-duty spokes. It is strange that I need an upgrade on spokes, as mountain bike wheels have never given me this much trouble before. Tourist bikes yes but not mountain bikes. The spokes must not be the same strength as they used to be. The loads I am carrying don’t seem to be any worse than what I have carried in the past without problems so it must be the tensile strength of the spokes unless, God forbid, I am getting some special attention called sabotage. I will be watching and so will my friends STUD.
UPDATE 9-20-2002 @ 6:48 P.M.:........My Very Very Special Friend and Love!
Missed you at Mass yesterday morning. Missed you at choir practice last night. Good to see you and your sister back today! Hope and pray all is well with both of you! Have a good weekend and see you at Church.
Hope to see you in choir! Please share your special and valued voice with us Sunday! I am sure your presence and voice will make all of us sing that much better! Believe me, it will make me do so! Practice is at 11:10 AM in the kids chapel. Remember the director needs all the voices he can get! Let’s not let him down!
UPDATE 9-30-2002 @ 7:30 P.M.:........My Very Very Special Friend and Love! & FYI..... I AM BACK!
Vol. 21, No. 34
August 30, 2002
I "drew" the "get out of jail free card" that said "pass go and collect '$200' " and left the Dupage "Hilton" at about 12:30 PM this afternoon and walked from the Dupage County Complex in Wheaton to Naperville. I arrived at * (10-2) the Naperville Train Station at about 3:50 PM with about a forty-five minute delay on the way.
As you will note on 7-5-2002 and 7-10-2002 I related the events of issue.
On Sunday, September 22, 2002 I was suddenly converged upon by the Naperville police department at the Naperville Train Station, (about 5 officers and several cars), while I was doing some reorganization of my property and bicycle. I was told that there was a warrant out on me and that Lisle Police were initiating it. I said I could not imagine what that was. Naperville stated that Lisle would tell me all about it when I got there. Naperville stated that I would have to be taken into custody, (belted with cuffs...they assured me that this was standard protocol), by them and they would transport me to Lisle's rendezvous point. It was approximately 11:00 PM when they took me into custody. I had just left Lisle at around 9:30 PM as I recall and went to the Naperville Train Station.
I was picked up and transferred at the Lisle rendezvous point after about a half hour wait for Lisle to get their act together.
* (10-2) I was taken to the Lisle Police Department and booked for Disorderly Conduct. I was held in the jail there until they took me to Dupage County Jail where I was again processed and then held several hours in a holding cell and then reviewed in bond court where I was held on a $5,000 bond of which 10% paid would bail me out. I asked for the bond to be lowered but the judge would not lower it. I knew I was stuck in jail until October 24, 2002 when the case would come up for hearing. He based his holding to $5,000 on the prior false arrest conviction back in 1998 in which I was incarcerated for approximately 27 days. Snowball effect you know!
I spent almost eight lousy days in the Dupage "Hilton" putting up with the usual inhabitants and their idiosyncrasies and the like.
I was fortunate to be able to contact one colleague in Naperville who was able to get a message to my church and the priests there as their number could not accept a collect call from the jail and another colleague as his number was blocked at the jail. The first priest was going on vacation so he did not help as far as I know however, in a later contact by my colleague; he reached a second priest that was more available. I am not sure if that had any influence on the circumstance at hand or if my maneuvering and factual presentations in court helped or a combination of the two or more. Certainly intense prayer has been answered.
At about 7:45 AM this morning another bond court was held and I was again interviewed by the same judge who had taken my presentations under advisement and finally decided to let me out on personal recognizance.
It is clear that I have lost some precious time in preparing for my Naperville case much less going to Mass and prayer chapel and choir which as you know have been very much so priority efforts in my daily agenda especially for My Very Very Special Friend and Love and her sister.
I told the judge in the initial bond hearing on Monday, September 23, 2002 that I did not believe that My Very Very Special Friend and Love initiated this on Friday, September 20, 2002 as Lisle PD had informed me you had. They told me that you signed the complaint 9-20-2002. I said I did not believe it at this late date. I told them in effect that it was another attempt on their part to condition me against My Very Very Special Friend and Love and she against me. I said that this was just a political move on their part and that of Officer #479 and the Judge who signed the complaint also on 9-20-2002.
It seemed clear to me someone wanted me out of the church and community as well as interfere with my Naperville litigation as I had no conflicts with My Very Very Special Friend and Love or her sister in over two months prior nor did I get any negative indications from my presence at church and chapel from My Very Very Special Friend and Love on Saturday 9-21-2002 when we last saw each other.
I let the court know that possibly Mr. Francis Cuneo instigated something with Lisle PD to get me out of the way and prevent my litigation preparation with Naperville. I further emphasized that I was under political duress.
I made it clear to the judge that I DID NOT BELIEVE My Very Very Special Friend and Love HAD ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE INSTIGATION OF THE COMPLAINT AT THIS LATE DATE.
It was clear to me that Officer #479 was stirring the pot as she said she would and intended to do.
I informed the court that I felt that Officer #479 had spiced up the event allegations which were used to foment the disorderly conduct complaint.
* (10-2) As stated prior, the judge ordered the bail of $5000.00 to remain and $500.00 was needed to bond out. Additionally he placed a PEACE BOND on me. I objected in light of the long time of no contact of over two months. I promised a vigorous fight against the PEACE BOND, arrest, allegations as stated and incarceration on a malicious complaint.
I waited till this morning for another hearing. It was suddenly announced and I reported before the same judge. I filled him in on context of the case and indicated that it was 7-5-2002 when this complaint was originally instigated and that no contact had occurred thru my arrest date of 9-22-2002. It seemed strange that suddenly I was arrested.
I asked the court to remove the Peace Bond, as it was a moot issue in light of the no contact between 7-5-2002 and 9-22-2002 in good faith on my part. I am awaiting confirmation paperwork. Surely a Peace Bond is, especially, psychological harassment, intentional infliction of mental and emotional distress, defamatory and needless ridiculous overkill especially in a malicious claim! It will be fought vigorously if it is not removed, as there are no grounds for its justification!
So folks that is why I was not at choir practice last Thursday night and at no Masses and Choir since Sunday, September 22, 2002!
The next Court hearing is scheduled at Downers Grove Field Court on October 24, 2002 at 8:30 AM.
I hope and pray that My Very Very Special Friend and Love will have had this matter dismissed especially since the allegations are not accurate. I hope and pray that this need not be pursued as I think you know that you misinterpreted my acts of Christian Love toward your girl friend. I hope and pray that you will review your facts closely and realize what really happened and that my intent was in good faith with your true faith in Jesus Christ your First Love!
As I stated in prior updates mentioned and linked in this update I approached only your girl friend. Not YOU. You were with her but I physically approached her from her side and addressed her as "Miss" and proceeded to admonish her with the thought that "where sin doth much abound Grace much more abounds, never the less we should not sin more. That was admonished due to the fact that I saw her hesitate to participate in Holy Eucharist due to what appeared to be her under heavy conviction to take care of "ought" against her "brother" before she participated. It was noted that you compelled her to participate anyway. I wanted her to be encouraged. You went ballistic, (probably one of STUD’s hidden missiles prior discussed in UPDATE 6-15-2002 @ 2:08 P.M.). You did that for unknown reasons other than that you to were under conviction and did not want to deal with it or you were emotionally out of it and could not deal with it. It is clear that others were in the church and saw your girl friend's actions and also saw your actions and that they were also in the narthex of the church saw my actions and I believe they will support what I have stated in these updates.
Please pray about this intensely. Remember that the effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.
James 5:16 - "Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much. "
We are righteous through the sacrifice of Christ and our acceptance of that sacrifice so if we pray in that context we will be heard and answered!
Let me underscore that I do not believe you instigated this latest action. I would appreciate you notifying the States Attorney of that fact and that you would like these charges dropped.
With very much Love in LOVE,
Scott
