Your Civil Rights In Your Own Home

A young, ambitious, wealthy and full of life twenty something dot com Millionaire has purchased a home on the Florida Intercostal. The centric reasoning for the purchase was to have a mooring dock for his new yacht. However, he would also use the home, not his primary residence, to have friends stay or to party. Although generally liked by the neighbors, there were incidences where the parties became annoying. However, the young man would always and graciously accommodate his neighbors wishes for quiet enjoyment of their own homes. There was and is no evidence any of his neighbors found him harassing or intimidating. One night, there was a ringing at the doorbell whereupon many of his Civil Rights were abused and the security of his home was penetrated, by the Local Police.


The Circumstances and the Event

The Boca Raton Police assert they were called to the Defendant residence for complaints of noise. Although logs show no such call against the timeline, there was evidence that the Police had the Defendant under surveillance. Previously, Police had arrived at his home under complaints by a person who lived several house away from Defendant.


The Arrest

Upon arriving at the Defendant’s Front Door, there was an exchange, all caught on Security Camera Tapes. Ultimately, the Police reached into the home and dragged the Defendant from his home and onto the Front Porch. The Police, with no cause, slam him against the wall, physically subdue him and cuff him.


The Processing

The police arrested the Defendant for Resisting Arrest


Defense Position

The Police (as shown on Security Tapes) had no Probable Cause, no Warrants or any provocation that would allow them to come into the Defendant’s home and extract him physically.


Present Circumstances

The Boca Raton Prosecutor has since dropped the charges for Resisting Arrest, but the City of Boca continues to pursue the Noise Violation. The Mayersohn Law Group continues in process to get all charges dropped and a Civil Suit is being contemplated. Defendant has since sold the home and moved to Delray Beach, claiming further harassment by Police as the prime reason. The remaining case has been continued twice to date.


Attorney and Defendant available for interview.
