Members of militia group suing law enforcement (Hutaree)
ABC7 News ^ | April 8, 2013 | Chuck Goudie

The I-Team has learned that several members of a Midwestern militia group who were acquitted of plotting to overthrow the government are suing the law enforcement officials who arrested them.


The Hutaree Christian Militia was accused of planning to trigger revolution by first killing law enforcement officers.


A year after being cleared of those charges, several Hutaree members are attacking the government on a different front.


ABC7 News has learned they have filed a federal suit against the very law enforcement officers who originally arrested them, charging a violation of their constitutional rights among other things, to bear arms.


Tom Piatek is among those suing several FBI agents and a Michigan State police trooper.


Piatek claims that federal authorities had no just cause to raid his Whiting, Indiana home three years ago and that they violated his right to own this arsenal of guns, thousands of rounds of ammo and combat accoutrements.

"thousands of rounds of ammo"

Didn't that used to be under $60 worth of 22LR?

Likewise deeply engaged in industriousness and thrift, but deeply worried about having a ‘rat POTUS.

All our hard work paid off in its own way, I guess.

"USC Title 18 Sec 242. Deprivation of Civil Rights under Color of Law."

I successfully used that argument (among others) to beat a rap from the local "code" enforcers (who I still believe are a RICO organization including a next door neighbor). I still had to fend off the local gov't lawyer by indicating that I had previously been to court over the issue and won.

I've had a couple of years to date without harrassment, but am working on disappearing from my People's Republic with no forwarding address.

Klein is a man who does not know history, and I hope that he is doomed to suffer a repetition of it.

And you’re right. It’s media bias, and everybody with two brain cells to rub together knows it.
