How does one find out if the information about them in Law Enforcement Information Network (LEIN) is accurate?
answered on Dec 5, 2024
There is no way to publicly review it. LEIN gets its information from courts and other law enforcement agencies. IF there is an inaccurate entry, it must be corrected in the court reporting it.

When jurors find someone guilty of a crime that they didn't commit and decades later the person is exonerated, etcetera, may the jurors be sued?

I don't think MCL 15.243 protects you here. You're requesting a copy of a report made upon your complaint. If this relates to a criminal allegation, I don't see how you could remain anonymous, unless you reported this through Silent Observer.

A Pro Se complaint was filed. The clerk stated that documents are scanned, she would stamp them and give them back. She did not give them back. How should the Plaintiff had handled that situation?
answered on Oct 28, 2024
Judicial misconduct? No. Are you referring to the return of exhibits attached to a complaint? Generally, you should only submit things to a court with the understanding they will become part of the public file and shared with the opposing party / counsel, and not be returned.
The Licensing and Regulatory Affairs claimed to have closed the case citing no violation found under the Occupational Health Code. However, the violations in the complaint involve the Public Health Code, MCL 333.2843 et seq. and criminal activities. Knowingly falsity in causing a death certificate... View More

They conduct what they call “safety inspections” EVERY month. And HUD does a annual inspection EVERY year. My argument is we are paying close to $1,000 a month, and people have the right to pursuit of happiness and tenants have right not to be harassed. It is also effecting my mental health... View More

It's LARA's duty to investigate the allegations you made against a licensed person. Beyond that, you have no standing or grounds to cause LARA to do anything. What they do with the results of their investigation is between the agency and the licensee.

The morgue claims to have taken the body from the hospital, however their records state the body was at the morgue the following day.
answered on Oct 7, 2024
Do you have an exact timeline? It would not be uncommon for the transfer to have occurred in the overnight hours, or for the hospital to have kept the body until the next day. I'm unsure where else the body would have been transferred to between the hospital and morgue except maybe an off-site... View More
