I called 911 for a medical emergency. The police showed up instead and harassed me. (r/LegalAdvice)

welcome to another episode of our slash legal advice when I was hired I was given a key and told if I lose it I owe $15,000 I lost it do I have to pay up I am located in Michigan okay so when I was first hired on at my job six years ago I was given a key that had access to some of the internal offices which holds sensitive information I was told that if I ever lost said key I would owe the company $15,000 to have the entire building Raqib due to security I have lost this key it was attached to my car keys which were hooked to the loop of my pocketbook I was mugged and the key was stolen along with a lot of other personal belongings so now my boss and my boss boss and his boss keep calling me to come in and fill out paperwork to get on a payment plan to repay the money I owe I have received letters from their official letterhead and I am informed the next step will be termination and lawsuit and they have also threatened to start docking my pay I have no intention of paying the fine the catch is that I was told this was the consequence verbally when I was handed the key my supervisor told me you will need to sign an agreement at some point but we will worry about that later I replied that to be clear I will not be paying that if I haven't signed yet do you want to keep possession of the key until then my supervisor laughed as though I was joking and said it was more convenient for me to just hold on to it and he wouldn't forget to have me sign he promised well he never brought it up again and I of course did not either my question is can I be legally forced to uphold this on the basis of verbal contract at this point I have not reminded them that I never signed I have simply ignored them but I worry we will have to get lawyers involved soon and I'm not sure how to proceed I will be visiting my lawyer Monday so hopefully more answers then $15,000 is about one stroke three of my yearly salary I cannot afford this charge thanks for reading why is this not covered by their insurance I had a laptop stolen and all my company needed was a copy of the police report with the laptop listed you have a police report which is all that should be needed great advice already here but also stop using the term the key the truth is you were mugged also stop using the term verbal contract you specifically told them you would not pay and they gave you the key anyway there was no verbal contract just say no and start looking for a new job even if they see you they're not likely to win rekeying buildings is a cost of doing business and they didn't do jack to mitigate their very obvious risks any key worth $15,000 should be treated like any of the high-value asset with a checkout system not just handed to someone to carry around there's also absolutely zero reason to rekey an entire building when only internal offices are affected you're not responsible for their choice of a horrible keying system if they sued you they would have to one prove that you were negligent in some way to prove that you accepted this financial risk at the start not after the fact don't sign anything 3 that $15,000 is actually justified i called 9-1-1 for a medical emergency and the police showed up and verbally harassed threatened me should I file a complaint Pennsylvania I don't really know where to file this under flares tonight I had to call an ambulance to my apartment my boyfriend was acting erratic and seemed to be in psychosis he then had a full-on seizure later on I found out he smoked synthetic marijuana I don't know much about that I do not do drugs I do not even smoke normal marijuana I called an ambulance because I didn't know what else to do I was scared three policemen showed up first and entered without knocking asked where he was I started to cry and they told me to go in the other room as I was annoying them I complied then the larger of the three cornered me in the hallway he said my pupils were completely blown and I better start telling the truth about what drugs I do I told him that I have incredibly poor eyesight and my pupils have been naturally large since childhood this is true he told me stop ducking lying to me now you're getting arrested for drug possession again I denied any drug use and told him he could literally drug test me through blood and urine at that exact moment I am clean he left me in the hallway and another man came out rinse and repeat then the third did the same thing they kept telling me to look at lights and laughing and saying I was the biggest lie they had ever met at this point I'm amped up and scared I am a 23 year old woman I am in nursing school I do not do drugs at this point they have the m's they're coming or and checking my pupils and laughing they were telling my boyfriend that he better rat on both of us or we were both going to jail they ripped apart my whole entire room and starting laying into me for having cipro prescribed an antibiotic the largest policeman then told me he was going to speak to my landlord and have me evicted I reiterated that I am completely clean and could pass not only a field sobriety test but a drug test of any kind he retorted with I highly doubt that as he continued to tear apart my home eventually they got my boyfriend into the ambulance and all three of the cops left laughing the largest turned around and said congratulation on ruining your life don't call an ambulance when you are on drugs I'll see you around not only am i shaken but I feel threatened and ashamed the man I was with should not have been on anything but I called an ambulance because I was scared he might die I didn't call them to be Harris did they even do anything really wrong that I can report this we live in a small town in NEPA I know that they heard a possible drug incident over the scanner and had three of them show up because they thought they'd find a good amount of drugs an incident of interest they found absolutely nothing no one got arrested or charged they also refused to give me any badge numbers and told me if I kept inquiring I'd be in more trouble update I tried to file a police report and the chief basically said save yourself the trouble and do not I started a GoFundMe to move G f me you /wm vnq said write everything down before you forget even what the policeman looked like any details time of the 9-1-1 call when they arrived also having a written trace will help if you have to repeat multiple times and then file a complaint we live in a small town in NEPA i know that they heard a possible drug incident over the scanner and had three of them show up because they thought they'd find a good amount of drugs an incident of interest just to clarify they came ass up not because I had any strong interest in being there because of the inherent danger of Odie's police will come and clear the scene before Em's far show up for their safety a 15 year old girl made false allegations to CPS about my hu son because she doesn't like my 15 year daughter my daughter was close friends with a girl for a few years and they had a falling out over ridiculous things I don't want to go into too many details because the reasons are very specific and the family would immediately know I was talking about them the girl's mother is crazy and she likes to threaten people with legal action and throw her job title around she does not work in law or any real position of power she just has delusions of grandeur the mother also believes her daughter is perfect and everyone is jealous and bullying her daughter because of their jealousy I will refer to the mother as Lorien the daughter as Katie so the rest of this is less confusing Lori has been to the school multiple times and accused my daughter and other students of bullying Katie the assistant principal has pulled my daughter out of class to discuss Katie I'm not sure if Lori had anything to do with the CPS report but I cannot contact her directly Lori refused to communicate with me when the girls first stopped being friends I tried to contact her several times and she does not answer my calls and has been outwardly hostile to my daughter on more than one occasion katie is a bully who says hurtful and dark natured stuff to try and appear edgy to her friends my daughter has told me some pretty horrific stuff that Katie said and I advised my daughter to stay cautious throughout their friendship when the friendship fell apart Katie began to say pretty cruel things about my daughter my son and our home my daughter would tell me about the worst of it one of the things Katie said about my eight-year-old son was disgusting and completely out of line so my husband and I remembered it pretty vividly my daughter told us about the comment about three or four months ago a few days ago CPS knocked on our door while I was at work and told my husband that someone made a report to them about my son and the complaint was exactly what Katie was saying about him a school a few months ago there is no one else who could have made this complaint it was very specific and had no affiliation with anything based in reality my husband said the CPS employee was very nice and they seemed like they knew that the report was ridiculous I wasn't there so I don't know what a tone of the conversation was like the problem is I have no proof the assistant principal at my daughter and Katie's high school is planning to interview some of the students that were around Katie when she made these comments about my son so I might have some backup which is great but it's still just hearsay and there is no tangible evidence like text messages or recordings of her saying these things about my son what should I do is there anything I can do do I even have a leg to stand on all I have is my word my daughter's word and the possible words of a few fifteen-year-old kids any advice is welcome I'm terrified I am and VA edit I'm not looking to sue anyone or anything I just want to clear all of this up and I want Katie to be held accountable for making a false report the things she reported could potentially hurt my son's reputation and damage his future to the allegations were not about me or my husband being neglectful or abusive they were accusing my son of doing horrible things that he did not ever do no need to be terrified its CPS job to conduct an investigation even though it is based on an anonymous report you don't need to prove anything to the CPS worker other than that your children live in a safe home with food on the table as long as you cooperate and show CPS that your children are safe at home the investigation will be wrapped up quickly as CPS has much more dire cases that they need to work on for proof can't you use the facts EPS came to you with the exact same report that Lori Katie had made law segment school isn't that evidence that they're behind this [ __ ] child welfare clinician here as far as the investigation goes calmly and politely tell the investigator that you believe the Jones family is harrassing you as the allegations seem identical to fabricated statements they made to someone else don't get into any of the drama your perceptions of them just short facture emotionally neutral statements that this is a family you had a falling out with and unfortunately they seem to be making statements about your family the investigator can't say who made the report but they will know that you stated you suspected it was the jones family or someone associated with them wait until the investigation is over and you've received a letter that it was unsupported then call the ombudsman or similar thank them for their careful and ethical work with your family and ask if they have a way for you to recommend that this be pursued as someone making a false report they may tell you they can't say anything to you but will address it if it was in fact a false report you can also try your attorney general's office and see if you can find out how your state handles prosecution of false reports you may have to file a civil suit and you may find yourself at a dead end even there if you can't compose cps to acknowledge who the reporter was NC cpr has a lot of good information about how easy it is to abuse this system and research about how giving CPS such a wide berth actually doesn't improve child safety in any way they have a lot of legal information that can be helpful for families dealing with false reports throw you made it to the end you're ducking beasts I'll cut you
