BASIS OF CLAIM All of the above-named PUBLIC EMPLOYEES have knowingly committed CIVIL RIGHTS VIOLATIONS, SLANDER, LIBEL, DISCRIMINATION, TRESPASS, COMMON LAW NEGLIGENCE, and NEGLIGENT INFLICTION OF PHYSICAL AND EMOTIONAL DISTRESS while operating under color of law, by use of excessive police power during the scope of their employment, engaging in ongoing, deceptive and secret negotiations with intent to conceal public business without having privilege or legal authority. I have suffered private injury from repeated assaults to my good name and public reputation, intentional interference with my property rights under color of law, living with constant fear and ongoing threats of property loss and destruction under color of law, constant emotional and physical distress, and damage to my physical and emotional safety, health and welfare. All of the above-named PUBLIC EMPLOYEES have violated the Maine and United States Constitutions to honor and uphold the public trust and duty of care bestowed upon GINA LYNN TURCOTTE 32 COURT STREET APT 1, AUGUSTA, MAINE NOTICE OF CLAIM AGAINST CITY OF AUGUSTA Page 3 of 3
them, to act ethically on behalf of all constituents, and to consult and get approval from the public when the publics safety, health and welfare are in jeopardy. All of the above-named PUBLIC EMPLOYEES have engaged in ongoing deceptive secret negotiations to purchase and destroy four habitable residential properties under color of law without any plans to replace those lost units with comparable dwellings for the sole purpose of building a larger courthouse parking lot at public expense thereby injuring my body and property rights by putting me at imminent risk of eviction, homelessness, physical and emotional injury and possible death during the upcoming winter months. NATURE AND EXTENT OF INJURIES As a result of living in constant fear of violent physical force and intimidation under color of law, slander, libel, discrimination, trespass, negligence, destruction of my property and causing bodily harm, I have suffered from pain and ongoing torment, emotional distress, physical distress, violation of natural rights, violation of common law rights, violation of statutory civil rights, violation of rights secured under Maine and United States Constitutions to be free from cruel and unusual punishment and not be deprived of life, liberty or property without due process of law. I have been defamed with slander and libel as a sovereign citizen, a false misnomer, currently classified as a violent domestic terrorist with the FBI, recorded in permanent public records, impairing my good name, reputation and standing in the community causing me public shame, humiliation and disgrace. I have been discriminated against as a domestic terrorist and a low income tenant directly resulting from my exercising my freedom of speech, freedom of assembly and freedom of religion, among other natural and common law rights. I have been deprived of my right to live in a peaceful manner free from constant fear of slander, libel, discrimination, deprivation of property rights, destruction of property, violent intimidation and eviction, homelessness, bodily injury and premature death. AMOUNT OF MONETARY DAMAGES Claimant demands $100,000 for each offense from City of Augusta and $30,000 for each offense from each of the individual Respondents, in addition to pre-judgment interest beginning on this date pursuant to 14 MRSA 1602-B. I, GINA LYNN TURCOTTE, swear under pains and penalties of perjury, upon my own knowledge, information and belief, and so far as upon my information and belief, I believe this information to be true and correct. Executed on this 5 th day of August, 2014 in Augusta, Maine.
