Reference: Tampa, Florida Police incident report #00-70872 Recently, I had a Scientologist call the police on me after he was carelessly standing in the middle of the driveway of an office where I work, in what now appears to be an attempt to set me up for a "crime." I came driving my vehicle around the corner, and as I pulled into the driveway, at the last minute, I saw this guy just standing there (who turned out to be a Scientologist, with propoganda fliers in hand, no less). I had to brake really hard to avoid hitting him, and my tires "chirped" as I did this. He then stepped out of the way, and I proceeded to park and go into the office. After this event, it became obvious to me that he and another Scientologist were hanging around the office, handing out some of their negative literature. I then went outside and videotaped the two of them, and we had a conversation about my driving abilities. I told them that it wasn't a good idea to be standing in driveways, that it was dangerous. The second Scientologist, Richard H***t, made a remark to his friend that essentially expressed that he was disappointed that I hadn't hit him. The Scientologists then called the Tampa Police. An officer came and spoke with them, and also with me. I told the officer "my side" of the story, after he had talked with H***t, and the complainant, Mark F******n. I also showed the officer my videotape and gave him a copy for evidence. This only included tape of the conversation I had with the Scientologists, after the "incident" in the driveway. The officer pointed out the remark that H***t made on the tape, but it didn't immediately register to me what relevance it held... Today I picked up a copy of the police report regarding this "incident." It includes the officer's narrative and investigation, which pointed out that both Scientologists acknowledged that F******n was standing in the driveway, which was confirmed by an independent witness. It also notes that the Scientologists acknowledged actively handing out fliers (copies of which were attached to the police report) regarding the business, at the time of the "incident." The officer then went on to describe the words and actions of H***t on the videotape as follows: A few seconds later, Mr. H***t makes a motion with his thumb and index finger (like an inch) and stated that "We were this close to putting him in jail." It seems that getting me convicted, or even accused of a crime would be a big "win" for these guys. It must be especially frustrating for them that the only time I was ever arrested in my life was for an unpaid parking ticket...hard to distort that out of context into something for use on one of their famous "DA" fliers they hand out all over town these days. They need to get to work on discrediting me fast, since the State Attorney is sure to press charges against CCHR Chairman Dennis Clark any day now based on my battery complaint against him. If I don't have any "crimes," they better come up with some quick! I guess they are going to have to set me up with something else, attempting to frame me for a traffic crime, maybe even vehicular homicide, didn't work. They seemed so disappointed too...and so willing to blindly put their life on the line. I wonder what they might try next? M
