What is the name of your state? CA.
I sold a car to an aquaintance, and the car recently passed the smog test req. For that reason, the car was still parked at my place, awaiting DMV stickers in the mail. All fees and req were fully paid. New reg owner was to take the car as soon as the reg stickers were in place.
Before said stickers arrived, the city towed away the vehicle claiming no current registration. Like I said before, that was not the case. Imediately I called the new reg owner, for him to call the police. He was disgusted, and he did not want to deal with it , asking me to call the police saying I was him. I did that, or else I was not going to get any information. I was afraid I would loose the car, and still owe this guy the cars value already paid for.
I called and I was met by a non chalant police dept. The operator said there was no one to talk to, no watch commander, no second, third, fourth...in rank...no one.
I thought they were just pulling my hair, no officers at a precinct?? Soon, they just re routed my calls to an answering machine, refusing to deal w me. I was stressed out about loosing the car, and, noone would tell me nor listen to my arguments.
Faced with the stations deaf ears, I had to call 911, to ask them to communicate me with the precinct in question. I told them outright, it was no emergency, all that happened was that I could not get a hold of the station...in a polite manner.
In this fashion I finally got a hold of a seargent. This seargent was very conceited, refusing to listen to me, and just patronized me with a condescending tone.
That act in itself, after the prior refusal to allow me to talk to a watch commander or any authority figure, and the disconnections and answering machine things games by the operator staff,made me say to myself, enough! I told the officer that I was going to the station to place a complaint against him, and against the way I was treated by the staff.
I went to the station , The officer in question came out. I asked him for a complaint form,he said there were no forms, just a information sheet of paper. I took the paper w/o incident and left for a coffee shop to fill it out.
When I came back, the same officer came out, this time refusing to make copies of my report. I went back out, to make copies, as the aformentioned officer came out to the lobby and in an intimidating manner told me to get out. I did, and I came back with the copies. The officer refused to acknowledge receipt, claming there was no stamp nor nothing. Upon my insistence and following the foot of the complaint info sheet, he reluctanctly signed my copy.
Because this incident began when I called the police trying to find out about the car, and I said I was the reg owner ( with his authorization) I wrote in the complaint that the reg owner began calling the police from my place, and then at his trequest I took over. The fact is yes, Itook over at his request, but he never came to my place nor called himself. I said so, because I was so stressed by the fall out, bad treatment, and because I called in his name, I had to say so. After I supposedly took over, I followed with what happend to me. The only amiss part is the inclusion of the reg owner as part of the phone calls.
Subsequently, next day, I got a hold of a great Lieutenant within that station. We talked calmly,I provided him with all the paperwork needed, and the car was returned free of charges about 7 days after.Upon that, I told this good officer I was taking my complaint back, dropping the complaint, because I deemed it a sour event, blaming it on stress and bad tempers. I deemed it unecesary and so I provided the good officer with a note of explanation, dropping the complaint. This happened right then, weeks ago.
Last week I received a call from some other officer from that precinct, asking me to meet him to answer some minor questions about the incident. I told him, yes, I dropped the complaint because I think it was a misunderstanding.
Upon meeting him a couple days ago, I was arrested charged with 529 pc and with calling 911.
I got bailed, and I have a court date.
If I dropped the complaint weeks ago, on my own volition, and not as a result of being charged, why am I getting charged??
Like I said before, I was so stressed, that I acted in an unjudicious manner when I wrote that complaint,but I realized it and dropped it.
I am a clean person recordwise, what can happen in court?? I never intented any malicious act, I acted with authorization from the owner, which in fact, sent a notarized proxy document to the good officer so I could retrieve the car.
