BATTLE WON AGAINST TERRORISM AND PHYSICAL ABUSE TO RIDERS OF PORT AUTHORITY BUSSES
THE FOLLOWING IS AN OPEN LETTER OF COMPLAINT/PROBLEM TO PORT AUTHORITY TRANSIT CO.
FROM DAWN NARET’ 4-24-07 - (NOTE: 11-24-08 FOLLOWING THIS LETTER IS AN ANNOUNCEMENT OF THE SUCCESSFUL OUTCOME OF MY BATTLES WITH THEM. I FUNCTIONED AS MY OWN ATTORNEY IN 3 APPEALS AGAINST THEM AND WON, WITH THE WORLD’S MOST EXTENSIVE AND DISECTING “LEGAL BRIEF” I EVER WROTE OR READ ! )
I attempted to submit this report yesterday, 4-23-07, but the library computer system kept interfering with my work. I did not have time to finish, before closing time and hit confirm, but I’m not certain that you got it. I will give all the info over.
This is the absolutely worst complaint I have ever had to send in. I was shaking still at 11PM over an incident at approx. 5PM. I could not calm down from concern of the immense malevolency the situation represents to our society.
I am the disabled woman who falls asleep on the bus from a medical condition of C.O.P.D., which occurs when my oxygen is low or your gases or carbon monoxide exhaust gases are high.
I apparently did doze off, I would have to say passed out, because I did not even feel tiredness coming on. I was on my way to the Carnegie library and was shocked out of sleep by a P.A.T. Policeman, J. Dorsey ofc. #30, beating me very hard on my left are. At least 12 times, he hit me. I woke up and looked at him and he continued to hit me yelling, “Com’on lady! “You’re getting off this bus!!”.
I was shocked and confused and said, “you’re hitting me!! “Why are you hitting me?!!”. He just kept hollering to get off the bus. We were at Swissvale busway. I stood up and was getting oriented to location and trying to find a pen in my purse to write down the name of the driver ect. to file a complaint.
I asked the driver if he had tried to wake me, before calling the PAT police and he said had. This verifies again, that I did not doze off. I must have passed out from fumes, because I am a light sleeper, except when I am being gassed or anesthetized. The driver had responded calmly and politely, but I could not get his name out of him. He appeared to be a new trainee, because he was wearing a thin zip-up fabric vest with the PAT logo and #1076 on it. when I ask him his number, he pointed to the vest, when I asked him his name he looked at the policeman and seemed to be taking a que to not answer. Or maybe it was not his vest and he didn’t know the name that went with #1076. This driver was a white male, heavy build, with thin brown, short hair.
I still had not found my pen, the policeman had one in his pocket, but would not let me use it. He continued to yell at me to get off the bus, while I was talking to the driver and then grabbed my personal bags and carried them off the bus and put them on the ground. I took out my lipstick to continue trying to get the info I would need to file a report on this. and the policeman kept trying to stop me from taking down the info. I clarified to him that this was a very serious incident and I intended to file a complaint. He gave me his name and number and demanded to see my I.D. I gave him my PA drivers’ license and he called it into dispatch or somewhere. The driver said he had to leave to get back on schedule, and that there would be another bus leaving there in 5 min.
I listened to his info, but I was trying to hear what the policeman was saying on the phone while he was checking my ID.
I clearly heard a female voice say “negative” to his inquiry, but he was instructing her on something else. He said,” Well, she is a frequent……(I could not make out the next word, possibly flyer)….So you had better go ahead and put her on that list anyway.”.
I asked him what list he was talking about there, and he said it was none of my business. I became annoyed and said, “That’s MY name you just used, It most certainly IS my business!!”.
Then 2 more PAT policemen pulled up and got out. Ofc. Joe Smith #21 and Ofc. Dipippa #55. They approached calmly and seemed friendly, saying “What seems to be the problem here?” I told them that I was being hit repeatedly and I intended to file a complaint and I could not leave the bus until I got the info nec. To file the report.
When they became aware that I was planning to file a complaint, they turned mean and insulting. Dipippa said “where are you from, are you a German?” I said “yes, German/Austrian”. Then Smith said are you one of those nazi cornels of the third reicht? Oh, It’s not even a full moon!” Then when he saw me write these quotes down, he said “You’re making ME mad now.”
Then Dorsey jumped in and said “well, she’ll be getting a citation” . I asked what is a citation? and he said it will come in the mail. I was upset now and said “is it like a ticket or something?” He said “yea, a citation”. I asked if it would have a fine or anything like a ticket, and he said “Yea, it will be a citation for disorderly conduct”.
I said, “What are you talking about?! “You were hitting ME and you want to give me a citation for disorderly conduct?!!!!”. I stated again that this was all unacceptable and tried to walk over to where the bus would pick me up and Dorsey held out his arms in a block to my exit and said you wait right here, we’re not finished yet. I said,” you’re just trying to make me miss that bus, you heard him say it would be leaving in 5 min.”. Then the bus pulled off.
Then another car pulled up with a very heavy black man in it and they said he was the Chief. He asked what was going on here and I started to tell him all these things. I asked him his name and he would not give it. One of the other men said, “just call him Chief”. He was not in a PAT car or a PAT uniform. These 4 men were terrorizing me in the parking lot of the Swissvale busway and then suddenly said, “You have to get OFF this property NOW!!” 2 minutes ago I had tried to get the bus and they physically blocked my exit.
I left then and went over to wait for a bus at the passenger benches. I got on the #61B 5039, inbound and requested to go to the swissvale police station. The driver did not know where that was. A rider told me to get to it I should take the 61A.
I wanted to go to the real police to check on the conversation with the dispatcher. I thought, perhaps they had called my license into Swissvale police station to have it checked on. I realized that they never asked me my mailing address or my physical address they just said where do you live and I said Squirrel Hill. No more was asked. My license still has an old Lancaster, Pa address on it that they told me would not be updated until I get my renewal and new picture done this oct.
But I am concerned about being on this “LIST” I want my name removed IMMEDIATELY. And also, how could they mail me a citation without having my address? If I did not receive it in the mail, I would be denied “DUE PROCESS” of appealing anything on it and if I was not notified of a fine They could put out a warrant for not paying it!!!
Is THIS the kind of terroristic, predatory tactics that our citizens are being stalked with today? How many others have suffered from these brutes trying to harass and intimidate innocent citizens. Possibly causing them to have a criminal record or some undeserved tarnish to their record or reputation. I demand that I receive your written promise that NO CITATION and NO LIST will be registered with my name on it .
Very seriously looking for legal, mayoral and news media recourse,
Dawn Naret’

ANNOUNCEMENT:
3RD COURT CASE WON IN FIGHTING THE FAILING U.S. JUSTICIAL SYSTEM ! !
THE THIRD TIME WAS A CHARM IN ONE OF MY ON-GOING BATTLES AGAINST INJUSTICE AND VIOLATIONS AGAINST MY CIVIL, HUMAN AND CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS !
THE SUPERIOR COURT, IN PITTSBURGH, ALLEGHENY COUNTY, PA, (JUDGES NAME TO BE ADDED AND APPLAUDED ASAP) READ MY SELF-AUTHORED, MORE THOUROUGH THAN ANY IN HISTORY, LEGAL BRIEF, SUBMITTED BY ME, AS MY OWN ATTORNEY, AND CONCLUDED THAT THE PLAY BY PLAY AND LINE BY LINE EVIDENCE, OUT OF THE MOUTH AND TESTIMONY OF MY OPPONENT WAS OVER WHELMING AND UNDENIABLE.
THAT I HAD BEEN ILLEGALLY CHARGED AND UNFAIRLY JUDGED, WITH PREJUDICE AND HAS OVER-TURNED THE DECISION OF THE LOWER COURT, OF THE COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, PITTSBURGH, PA FROM GUILTY BY DECISION OF UNCREDIBLE TESTIMONY, TO A VERDICT OF INNOCENT AND AND THAT THE CHARGE DID NEVER MET THE CRITERIAN TEST, TO EVER BE MADE AGAINST ME.
THE CHARGE WAS “DISORDERLY CONDUCT”, MADE BY A PITTSBURGH, PA PORT AUTHORITY SECURITY OFFICER, WHO IN APRIL OF 2007 WAS CALLED TO THE SCENE, WHERE A LADY (ME) WAS FOUND, BY THE DRIVER, TO BE ASLEEP ON A BUS AT THE END OF THE LINE AND HE COULD NOT WAKE HER UP AND CALLED FOR ADVISE FROM HIS SUPERVISOR.
THE SECURITY OFFICER WAS DISBATCHED AND IMMEDIATELTY BEGAN BEATING ON THE SLEEPING LADY AND YELLING TO WAKE UP AND GET OFF THE BUS. I AWAKENED IN A PANIC, TO FIND THIS STRANGE BLACK MAN IN MY SEAT WITH ME AND BEATING ON ME.
I PUBLISHED ALL THE DETAILS ON SEVERAL OF MY BLOG SITES SO WILL NOT REPEAT THEM HERE. BUT THE IMPORTANT POINT WAS THAT, IN ORDER TO COVER UP WHAT HE HAD DONE WHICH WAS TO PHYSICALLY ASSUALT ME AND THEN TO REFUSE TO GIVE ME THE IDENTIFICATION OF THE BUS DRIVER, WHO WAS THE ONLY WITNESS, HE CHARGED ME WITH DISORDERLY CONDUCT, FOR REFUSING TO GET OFF THE BUS, UNTIL I HAD THE INFORMATION NECESSARY TO FILE A FORMAL COMPLAINT AND TRIED TO TURN THE STORY, OF THE EPISODE AROUND TO PORTRAY ME AS A LOW CHARACTURE WOMAN WHO IS WELL KNOWN AS A SLIME OF SOCIETY AND HE WAS A PERFECT PROFESSIONAL, JUST DOING HIS JOB.
I WISH THIS HAD BEEN A SMOKERS RIGHTS WIN, BUT IT IS JUST AS IMPORTANT, BECAUSE IT IS A WIN AGAINST THE EVOLVING INJUSTICE, UNCONSTITUTIONAL AND OBVIOUS DISCRIMINATION THAT HAS TAKEN OVER OUR JUSTICE SYSTEM, LIKE A CANCER.
THE CHARGE WAS A MERE “CITATION”. BUT I DID NOT DESERVE IT AND I WAS DETERMINED TO HAVE IT ERASED FROM MY CLEAN RECORD. TO ME, A “CITATION” IS LIKE A TRAFFIC TICKET. “DISORDERLY CONDUCT” IS MORE LIKE A BRAWLING, VIOLENT CRIMINAL ACTIVITY AND I WOULD NOT PERMIT MY REPUTATION TO BE SMEARED, WITH SUCH A BLASPHEMY OF MY CHARACTURE.
I FIRST APPEALED THE WRITING, OF THE CITATION AND HAD A HEARING, WITH THE MAGISTRATE, TO HAVE IT TORN UP. THE MAGISTRATE WAS A BIZZARE MAN, FUNCTIONING TOTALLY OUTSIDE THE RHEALM OF JURISPRUDICE, AND WOULD NOT LET ME TESTIFY MY SIDE OF THE STORY. HE HAD ALREADY HEARD THE DISTORTED VERSION, OF THE DISHONEST SECURITY OFFICER, AS WELL AS AN INADVERTENT AMOUNT OF FALSE SLANDER AND GOSSIP TO SPICE AND DEFAME MY IMAGE, AND THAT WAS ENOUGH FOR HIM.
WHEN I TRIED TO SPEAK, I WAS THREATENED WITH A CHARGE OF CONTEMPT OF COURT, IF I SPOKE ONE MORE WORD. WHEN I ASKED IF I SHOULD NOT GET A CHANCE TO TELL MY SIDE OF THE STORY, HE GAVE ME A CHANCE TO SPEAK ONE WORD.
HE ASKED, “DID YOU “ARGUE” WITH HIM?” I SAID “YES” AND HE SAID “GUILTY !
ARE WE GOING TO ACCEPT AN EFFORT TO BRAIN-WASH U.S. CITIZENS INTO ACCEPTING THAT THEY MUST SUBMIT TO TOTAL TOTALITARIAN OR COMMUNIST S.S. TYPE, OR GHESTAPO TYPE AUTHORITY ?
I THINK NOT ! !
I NEXT APPEALED THE HEARING AND HAD A COURT DATE WITH THE CIRCUIT COURT JUDGE. THIS JUDGE WAS AN HONORABLE PROFESSIONAL, WHO KINDLY GUIDED ME, AS A NON-PROFESSIONAL ATTORNEY DEFENDING MYSELF, AND GAVE ME PLENTY OF OPPORTUNITY TO TELL MY SIDE OF THE STORY.
UNFORTUNATELY, HE WAS HAVING SOME HEARING DIFFICULTY, AS WAS EVIDENT NUMEROUS TIMES, OF COMMENTS LIKE, “I’M SORRY, I CAN’T HEAR…I DID NOT HEAR THAT…WHAT WAS THE QUESTION?”, ON THE COURT TRANSSCRIPT. AND SINCE THERE WERE NO WITNESSES, HE HAD TO DECIDE THE CASE ON THE BASIS OF WHOM, HE BELIEVED, WAS TELLING THE TRUTH.
MY OPPONENT WENT INTO THE SAME SLANDEROUS, FABRICATED TWISTED VERSION OF THE EVENTS AND I WENT INTO THE AUTHENTIC FORMAL COMPLAINT, FILED THE DAY OF THE EVENT, WITH THE ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICES OF PORT AUTHORITY BUS COMPANY.
I DID NOT EXAGERATE, MISS A DETAIL OR VARY FROM THE TRUTH…..AND YET, THE JUDGE FOUND ME “GUILTY” BECAUSE HE SAID HE HAD TO MAKE A DECISION AND HE DID NOT FIND MY STORY CREDIBLE.
SO …….THAT’S RIGHT ! ! I APPEALED ! ! HOW RIDICULOUS ! THAT THIS KIND OF DISHONEST RAILROADING COULD BE OCCURRING AND THE LIAR WAS BEING BELIEVED TO BE THE HONEST ONE!
FOR THE 3RD TRIAL, I HAD TO WAIT OVER A YEAR, BEFORE GETTING A COURT DATE! BUT IT WAS WORTH THE WAIT.
I DID NOT HAVE TOO MUCH TIME TO TALK, BUT I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT IT WAS AN INJUSTICE. I HAD WRITTEN MY LEGAL BRIEF, WITH SUCH DETAIL AND TORE APART HIS TESTIMONY, LINE BY LINE, THAT ANYONE, WITH A BRAIN, COULD SEE THAT, “IN HIS OWN WORDS”, HE REVEALED DISCREPANCY, TWISTING AND LIES OF THE FACTS AND OF HIS OWN PREVIOUS COMMENT ON THE MATTER.
I THINK THAT THIS JUDGE WAS ALREADY CONVINCED THAT I WAS CORRECT IN SAYING THAT THE CHARGE WAS A COVER-UP AND AN INTIMIDATION AND AN OFFENCE APPLICABLE TO THE CHARGE WAS NEVER ENACTED BY ME.
THE ASSISTANT DISTRICT ATTORNEY WAS ALSO AN HONORABLE MAN, WHO RECOGNIZED, THAT TO COUNTER ANYTHING I SAID, WOULD BE TO DENY THE TRUTH AND REJECT THE VERY PRINCIPLES OF JUSTICE.
I THANKED BOTH THE JUDGE AND THE ASSISTANT DISTRICT ATTORNEY, FOR SAYING THAT HE HIMSELF, JUST COULD NOT SEE WERE THE CHARGE WAS APPLICABLE.
SO ENDS ONLY ONE SAGA OF MISERY, BUT MY FAITH, IN THE U.S. JUSTICE SYSTEM HAS BEEN RESTORED, BY A SMALL DEGREE.
THAT’S MUCH BETTER THAN MY PREVIOUS TOTAL LACK OF CONFIDENCE. BUT STILL NOT AS IMPRESSIVE OR CONFIDENT THAT THE FULL EXTENT OF OUR CIVIL, HUMAN AND CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS ARE BEING FULLY AND CONSTANTLY PROTECTED, BY THOSE ENTRUSTED WITH THIS RESPECT.
WE HAVE TO FIGHT THESE INJUSTICES, EVERYWHERE AND EVERY TIME THEY TRY TO SLEEZE INTO OUR SOCIETY AND DISCRIMINATE, CRIMINALIZE, VICTIMIZE, MINIMALIZE OUR FREEDOM OR DESECRATE OUR RIGHTS.
HATS OFF TO THESE TWO HONORABLE REPRESENTATIVES, OF OUR TRULY CRIPPLED JUDICIAL SYSTEM. – BY DAWN NARET’, NOVEMBER 20, 2008
