"But, you see, what we're really trying to do here is redefine the mattress industry, from providing a passive product into more of a compelling interactive sleep experience..."
This kind of stuff happens more often than people want to admit. For example, I have discovered that I have no constitutional right to a trial or due process. A multi year long Federal investigation was done based on a false accusation. My career and everything was taken. I have never been charged with anything and it is implied that there is no crime to even charge me with. I have taken all of this to Twitter recently (link in my profile). The past few weeks I have been asking the state and federal to arrest me, even though I didnt do anything, just so I would have a right to an attorney to be honored and begin the process of defending myself. But they havent even replied now for months.
Good luck out there when you run up against real power structures. You do not have the rights you think you do.
The Government can and will kill you without even charging you or proving anything to a jury.
This isnt even political as both left and right wing controlled states, CO and TN have gone along with it.
We simply do not have any rights in the U.S. Truth seems to be based simply on how many political connections and how much money you have.
Based on a skim of your Twitter, it looks like you were accused of committing a lewd act with a minor. You believe that this was an unfounded accusation. The police seem to agree because they have decided not to charge you with a crime, but the stigma has hurt you personally and professionally. You want to be charged with a crime so you can prove yourself innocent in court. It also appears that many, many people you know have urged you to seek mental health care, which you perceive as attempts to gaslight you.
I won't discuss the mental health component further because I don't see why you would trust an anonymous HN comment on this topic if you are skeptical of the motivations your friends and family.
Due process and right to a trial don't apply to your situation, since those are rights for people who have been charged with a crime. There is no constitutional right to be charged with a crime on request.
I understand your desire to prove your innocence in court, but even if you were able to do that, it is highly unlikely (read: near zero chance) that it would reverse the damage to your career and personal life. Based on the lack of potential benefit, time spent on trying to be charged with a crime is likely to be time wasted. I suggest that you move on and try to rebuild your life in other ways.
I appreciate the reply. It is more than most. This is a unique situation with a lot of history behind it. With that history comes proof of my innocence and a court room is the only place where I can call witnesses, present evidence, etc under oath.
Finally, the investigation is on going right now. As it has been for years. There is no crime to charge me with so there is no end to it.
It is a very unique situation and I am not guilty.
My right to a trial and due process does apply here. The Govt cannot injure you in the way it has done to me now for years without due process. Simple as that.
Courts prove guilt or innocence, not accusations and not law enforcement agents.
It is also not a mental health issue, thank you.
EDIT: Also I have tried to move on for years. I am not allowed to and they even refuse to give me ID or allow me to earn any income. I would love to move on. Endless investigation will not allow it.
Also to be clear, it has been heavily implied death is the result, I have survived multiple murder attempts already. I do not think this is how it is supposed to work. It was only a few seconds of accidential nudity, at home, after waking up from a nap.
This is being used to kill me without even charging me.
I agree. Something like substack would work a lot better since this is a complicated years long situation. After much thought, the ability to message people and link them back to it like I have been doing will be useful if I can ever have my day in court. I am able to tag people and agencies involved and their response or lack of will become very useful some day. Substack, etc is missing that one feature.
For example, "Hey @FBI, why am I not being arrested so I can defend myself in court?"
Then in a way, the continued silence proves my side of things.
Anyway. Sorry to sort of hijack this post with this story. Wasnt my intention.
We all just need to focus on our core rights as U.S. Citizens because they are quickly going away.
I fail to see your posting on Twitter is going to help you in any shape or form. From my quick scim.. it's really incomprehensible. Doing you probably more worse than good IMHO.
