What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Baltimore, Maryland.
My sister was wrongfully arrested, & thus, her case was nolle prosque, & she got her expungement soon after. However, when she was arrested, they submitted her quite expensive laptop, (yea, I figure thats useless to add, but she wanted me to put it:/)which she needs for her work, for graphics, into evidence control. It's been 3 months since, & she has all the paperwork for such..
However, she can never get a hold of the officer that submitted it into evidence control, & apparently, to get it out, she needs to have him sign a paper to get it. Both our mother & herself, have called numerous times, leaving messeges that go unanswered, being put on hold for 30-45 minuetes, & even then, none of officers answer. ONE TIME the officer called her mother back(2 weeks ago), said he'd call back the next morning to talk in full, & then never called. Didn't answer our mother's pages, or messeges...This includes their supervising sgt, who as well, doesn't return messeges or answer pages. What's the point of even having phones? She's sent emails to the evidence control section & the patrol district.
When the case was first dismissed, she called her arresting officer, only reason she got ahold of him though, was because he answered the call... he told her she could ONLY come down, on Monday or Tuesdays between 7-4. Which is almost impossible for her... we live in southern pa, about an hour away, which isn't too far, but it's still not an easy trip to make, since she doesn't have a car.
So, what can she do? Just keep calling, leaving messges? Call captains, or even the damn Major of the district? She'd prefer not to involve her lawyer, because she doesn't wanna add to our parent's stress, more then the actual event did... but she fears, it might be a thing she needs to do. She needs in within 2 weeks, & after 3 1/2 months, she's just feeling fedup. It's ridiculous.... Technically, they shouldn't even be in possession of it, with the nolleprosque & expungement papers.
she also fears that something has happened, like it was dropped. (She's mega paranoid) IF that's the case, what should she do? She can't sue them because of the expungement, or does that only pretain to the wrongful arrest (the sueing part)???
Thanks so much! Im really tired of her getting worked up about, & it doesn't help that our father, keeps saying she'll never get it back, which isn't the case, for this situation.
Please, productive answers would be great.
