I filed an ambitious motion that potentially could improve the justice system. I have a complaint pending in DDC for damages under the Privacy Act because I was imprisoned by USMS for 5 months without being accused of breaking a law. I wasn't arraigned and there was no bail hearing. I don't have a criminal record. I was accused of not doing what former judge Nottingham wanted; he ordered me held until I did what he wanted. USMS told Congress that their prisoner tracking system is used to hold people accused of federal offenses and didn't disclose that its computer systems are used to hold people who don't do what judges want but aren't accused of an offense recognized by Congress.

Anyway, the Privacy Act 5 USC 552a is designed to stop the government from using computer records for unauthorized purposes. If it had existed in Nazi Germany, it could have prevented the Holocaust because the Nazis created lots of systems of records when they killed the 13 million people. 5 USC 552a(u) requires all government agencies including USDOJ to file annual reports with OMB, available to the public, including complaints about unauthorized use of records and USDOJ responses to complaints. But it turns out that USDOJ has never filed such a report. So I filed a motion to get the annual reports required by the statute. USDOJ opposed that on the basis that I didn't have standing. I argued that I did have standing because I am afraid that USMS will incarcerate me again if I file in court related to the lawsuit that former judge Nottingham dismissed.

I do want to file in court about the facts in my claims that Nottingham dismissed. Nottingham didn't say why he dismissed my case and I think that he was bribed. He was going to prostitutes and I don't think he could afford them. I had a valid complaint under 42 USC section 1983 and for "first amendment retaliation". I never got a decision on the merits or an airing of disputed facts. I wouldn't have pursued the lawsuit it it wasn't important to me personally. In fact, since Nottingham wouldn't allow an evidentiary hearing, I think he indirectly caused the death of a David Engle in Steamboat Springs. My complaint was that I was criminally prosecuted without even a statement of probable cause (which is required by statute and the 4th amendment) and subjected to a baseless injunction without a statutory basis because I complained that the Steamboat president of the city council built 3 extra buildings adjoining my property that violated the zoning and development code. (These extra 3 buildings were never added to the Routt County property tax rolls) People in Steamboat learned that you can just ignore the laws so the owners of Engle's residence skipped having two exits and listed his residence as a garage.

If the court would order USDOJ to file reports on complaints that it misused its systems of records don't you think it could make a big difference to the rights of citizens? If I can get a court order that USDOJ should conform with 5 USC Section 552a(u) by filing the required reports, then I think I will have accomplished something really worthwhile.
