Racketeering in Michigan's Friend of The Court?
Racketeering in Michigan's Friend of The Court?
I believe the Carol Rhodes may be stating that she witnessed the Michigan Courts
and Friend of the Court engage in criminal racketeering.
She said:
"And the judges are definitely benefiting by larger child support collections"
...
"And so just at that alone the judge would be alerted that this is an individual
that
we are going to vent the full power and vengeance of the law on this individual
who dares to challenge
our authority."
"And as Dr. Sanjari said, often times those who stand up for their constitutional
rights
completely taken from them. They loose all parental rights. They don't see their
children
sometimes for 20 years."
- Carol Rhodes, Former Friend of the Court Collections Officer, and author of
"Friend of the Court Enemy of the Family", speaking on "Ronald Smith's Radio Show:
Dr. Baskerville, Dr. Sanjari & Carol Rhodes",

Making a custody decision based on punishing people, rather than the best
interests of the child, and permanently separating a parent and a child, may be
kidnapping.
Also, in theory creating an unjust child support burden, the consequence of which
is an unjust imprisonment for the payer, could also be kidnapping.

Also, handling a monetary transaction from criminally derived property (e.g. from
a CS obligation obtained by an unlawful racket which removed custody from a parent
unlawfully), is also a federal crime:
(a) Whoever, in any of the circumstances set forth in subsection (d), knowingly
engages or attempts to engage in a monetary transaction in criminally derived
property of a value greater than $10,000 and is derived from specified unlawful
activity, shall be punished as provided in subsection (b).

I think that a few people have tried this and received a big *yawn* go away now.
However, victims of a racket can sue in federal courts, I think. See US Code
TITLE 18 > PART I > CHAPTER 96 > § 1964:
(a) The district courts of the United States shall have jurisdiction to prevent
and restrain violations of section 1962 of this chapter by issuing appropriate
orders...
....
(c) Any person injured in his business or property by reason of a violation of
section 1962 of this chapter may sue therefor in any appropriate United States
district court ...

It seems the first step in doing something like this is to talk to a lawyer who's
in the federal bar association. Also, I would think that a willing witness, such
as a whistleblower, for example a retired person with direct knowledge of the case
at hand, would be best. Finally, while I'm not a lawyer, I think that a victim of
a racket isn't the only victim, and it would be a lot better to join forces before
proceeding.
