Q: The mother of my child was able to place a protection order on me without any proof. Her friend was an officer that help
When I was advised by the Domestic Violence personnel that she had no proof and their was an officer present. When I try filing perjury no official in that county will see my proof that I can show that her statements were false. She used to work for the county and they use their friends that work for the city and county police department. I’m getting the run around and they refuse to allow me to speak to a judicial commissioner but when they are wanting to file they allow them to talk to the commissioner. It was made to our family counselor and I believe my civil rights of 1871 federal statue 42 U.S.C 1983 has been violated due to conflict of interest due to them personally knowing everyone in the department
A: None of your facts are unusual in Knox County DV cases. You must hire a competent attorney now to represent you and make it as painless as possible. Forget about the perjury. Talk to the lawyer about any firearms you have now. So far you have wasted your efforts. But keep in mind that the Judges are much, much better in Knox County than a few years ago.
