I was corresponding w/ a girl through classmates.com - she got mad on some stuff I said, I kept emailing & then come to find out she went down to the police dept. & guess she had a friend down there, he in terms comes to my home un-announced, to find out if I was corresponding or not, he then was classifying me as a bad criminal, threatening to take me to jail etc., I cooperated with him. The next thing I know he evidently got some kind of warrant to go to my job and get my stuff off of my work computer ! I could not believe it. the girl told him it was threatening emails and she was scared for her life etc., I am not a bad person. So the DA has the stuff from my work computer & there was never any threatening emails to begin with, just casual emails. Should I press charges for slander & libel and also for ruining my professional reputation ?
Please advise ? Thank U !
How do I get a copy of the warrant ? the DA guy the girl had working for her, 1st he told me he picked it up, then he forgot his story and said the police dept. picked it up, so again, they are giving me the run-around and I have been treated extremely un-fair.
I have nothing to hide and I am telling you all that I know, obviously the girl said some false information about me to get the warrant, which I do not know what she exactly said,
so next step ? almost 4 mos. have gone by since this episode, and I have not heard anything else again about it. I lost my job of 4yrs. (professional job mind you)............
they should pay!!
first of all...you know what is in your computer and what is not. If there is nothing bad...I would definately take action against her. If you think that the emails weren't quite so horrilble...and the cops haven't made it a case yet...sounds like the woman is a little crazy, and has some major pull with the guys in uniform!!
I have told the whole story and there is nothing else, that is why I am asking on what to do? this happened back in Jan. 08 and now it is almost 4 mos. later and I have never heard anything again! I have called the court house and there is nothing under my name, I lost my professional job of almost 4 years over this non-sense, I was terminated without any explanation and no money ! I have 2 small children to support and I was extremely mad ! that it came down to this, over just corresponding w/ an old classmate who has way too much time and money on there hands ! there were no bad emails, no bad words, nothing threatening, I believe this was her friend that did some under the table work for her, without cost, her husband is a lawyer and she just thinks she is something, so in the mean-time I have lost my job, financial dis-tress & mental of course and I want to do something about this, her private detective came to my home (un-announced) w/my 2 small children there also. again all I did was corresponded through email & I guess she just wanted to find out where the emails were coming from,which she did a good job of that ! I feel I was treated bad by my company & they made feel like a really bad criminal ! they told my co-workers not to talk to me etc. so now, what should I do ?
if this happened to you what would you do? thank you for your time.......
no, you have still not told us everything. saying that there wasn nothing bad in your emails is not telling us what was actually said. if you're going to keep refusing to tell us the details why are you even still asking for help?

The next step is contacting an attorney. If they did not provide you with a copy of the warrant, then they were breaking the law. Why haven't you gone to the DA's office and ask for a copy of the warrant? At this point, your best option is to talk to an attorney. If you can convince one that you are telling the truth, then you should be able to find one to take the case on a contingency basis.
As we have repeatedly said, there has to be some justification for a warrant. If you can prove that the warrent was obtained under false pretenses, then the DA's office is liable as well as the person who supplied info to the DA.
I did nothing wrong, I do want to find out what is on or what was said on that warrant, I am in the process of trying to find out and how to get a copy of it. I do not have any money for a lawyer, due to being terminated from my professional job of 4 yrs.
The girl who did all this is married to a lawyer and something tells me that they did something under the table and it was not legal............I am going to get to the bottom of this..............will keep updating as I find out answers.............
I have not ever been in trouble this is all new to me. I did not even know I could get a copy of the warrant that was served to my company. Do you think perhaps the HR Dept. has a copy of it in my file ? I have also called the DA guy that came to my home un-announced and he does not return my calls.................

Again you aren't listening. I said you should be able to find an attorney who will take this in a contingency basis. This means you pay nothing unless they win the case. But the ONLY way you will get any justice is by engaging an attorney.
Yes the HR Dept should have a copy of the warrant. Since it was served on the company to review their property (which is why you may not have been given a copy) they may have one.

COOPERATE ? GUESS THAT WHEN YOU REALLY HAVE TO GET A LAWYER INVOLVED !
guess thats when you really have to get a lawyer involved? my guess would have been when you're computer was supposedly unfairly confiscated and you lost your job...if this happened a while back you should already have an attorney. scottgem has given you some really great advice about finding a contigency basis attorney, stop being stubborn and listen to him already.
and even if the hr department does cooperate with you, what good does that do you if you don't have an attorney?
Scott Gem has given wonderful advice ! -
I work contract now on the other side of town, to support my 2 children, so it is hard for me to get away, I will have to figure something out.........if I don't work, I don't get paid, trying to catch up, Anyway, YES I did loose my job over this non-sense, & I think they put some real rotten stuff about me on the warrant, I still haven't heard from the HR Dept., guess I will figure out how I will get down to the courts on the other side of town to get the report, I have also requested a copy from the police dept., which I was told by the HR dept. that the police had obtained the stuff from my previous employer & gave to the DA's office for review. also I was told that in order to get a warrant something has to be real bad on that report to obtain anything.
