Woodland Hills, CA asked in Animal / Dog Law, Civil Rights, Constitutional Law and Criminal Law for Colorado

Q: Can I file a police report on my dogs that a KS federal judge ruled in fact were state conversion but now in CO?

Civil rights violation case judge ruled that while I was wrongfully arrested imprisoned on no bail hold never going before a judge the entire 19 days that my dogs were in a state of conversion they kept there where abouts withheld from me and I was lied to daily about my dogs the judge subpoenaed the information where the paperwork clearly shows proper state laws for claiming abandoned were broken and the Colorado shelter knew and just sealed the record and adopted them out anyways. Being that the judge in Kansas ruled my property was stolen while my civil rights were violated can I file a police report on that basis and if so which state both Kansas and Colorado or just Kansas or can it just be the Colorado the state there now in

A: No, the police in KS do not have jurisdiction in Colorado and the the Colorado police will consider it a civil matter. You would have to sue the Colorado shelter. But there is case law in CO that says that if the dogs were adopted out to a bona fife third party (meaning a purchaser who didn’t know the background story of the dogs), then you can’t get them back from the new owners.
