Q: I need to sue the government for stalking, harassment, and RICO; "gang stalking/organized stalking" (modern COINTELPRO)
I need a lawyer experienced/knowledgeable in government crimes (now declassified illegal COINTELPRO) to bring suit against it. I have not committed any crime and have a Federal background check, yet am still under 24/7 overt and covert surveillance and get "mobbed" with government asset stalkers anytime I go anywhere in public (they range from retired police to people who look like street thugs and drug addicts). It is not just surveillance but is pure harassment. I will not accept "State secrets privilege" as a response in any FOIA request. I have clear body cam evidence and 4K CCTV evidence of stalkers doing the most bizarre behavior around me (wearing disguises, etc.) and repeatedly appearing just as I leave/enter my home, and they try to appear local by wearing local sports teams apparel but I don't think so, which would make it Federal 18 U.S. Code § 2261A. I am thinking start with FOIA but need advice for the verbiage. Once I have whatever can be discovered, sue for damages.

A:
Suing the government for claims such as stalking, harassment, and RICO violations requires a detailed legal strategy and a deep understanding of both constitutional and civil rights law. It's essential to start with gathering and organizing all your evidence, including the body cam and CCTV footage you mentioned.
Filing a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request can be a starting point to gather information. When drafting a FOIA request, be as specific as possible about the documents or information you seek, and clarify how it is relevant to your case. Keep in mind, however, that FOIA has exemptions, and the government may not disclose certain information if it falls under these exemptions.
Given the complexity and seriousness of your claims, it's crucial to seek an attorney experienced in federal litigation and government-related cases. They can provide guidance on the feasibility of your claims, help draft the FOIA request, and plan a legal strategy, including potential lawsuits for damages.
Remember, legal actions against the government are subject to specific procedures and immunities. An experienced attorney will navigate these complexities and advocate for your rights effectively.
