I used to be a truck driver delivering Coke in Detroit. It was a Summer job and I got the worst routes and worst trucks, we’re talking West Grand Boulevard in Detroit, and the huge wads of cash were absolutely visible in my trousers. The safes in the trucks did not work. I was a Teamster! I made a lot of money in a few months.
I was never robbed. Soda (we called it pop) was stolen as well as maybe a few rolls of coins (we were paid with those too), but I never had a serious encounter.
Anyway, my goal was to get out of there and home as quickly as possible. But if I did it every day for years I would have a different outlook.
I understand, just a little, the FedEx guys and others lounging under a tree. That is a small price to pay for living in a nice place.
But this is different. This is about corruption, and we’ll get to that in a while too.

The dog ordinance is a simple thing. It was enacted (renewed) in 2015. It is available to all very easily.
It has been simplified and strengthened since it began. It has teeth.
Animal Control is a name, scapegoat, and subsidiary of Sheriff Ted Mink Jeff Shrader. All of this goes back to Shrader under Mink. Shrader, as chief of patrol, led the infamous trespassing/criminal tampering crusade.
Here is a picture of my backyard.

Note the utility wires way up on the left above my neighbor’s fence. I was arrested (summons) on fabricated charges of tampering with them.
In the biggest picture possible it is the same as the FedEx truck snoozing under the willow trees. However in this case they are Sheriff Shrader’s deputies.

And here is the dog at large just to the right. The deputies are responding to a 911–crime in progress–call, this time at a public park. Soon after the deputies left without getting out of the giant SUVs. They did nothing about the motorcyclist (throughout the day) or the U-haul trailer either. The angry homeowner yelling at me from their frontyard is yet another part of the story.

They did not return with two subsequent calls over the next several hours.
Per the ordinance the director of Animal Control is in charge. Note the word “Sheriff” at the top of the form. Read further in “Animal Control Officer” and the definition referring-back to that of a sheriff’s deputy. Anyway, the animal control director reports to the sheriff.
The animal control director is not without blame. The woman I spoke with during a subsequent, repeat, dangerous offender on 4/11/19 is the same woman at Animal Control who usually says “What do you want us to do, give them a warning?” I’ll go back and read it again, but I do not recall anything in the ordinance about a warning.
This is when I have to start using the word conspiracy, but much more on that, the laws, the E.P.R.D. and myriads of past history either later in this post or in another. For now the solution is a Mandamus Claim Under C.R.C.P. 106(a)(2). It is not an ordinary skill for a non-lawyer but it is not that difficult either. Because of the above, 4/27/19 I know have twenty-eight more days.
For now I’ll just say this seems like a clear directive from the board of commissioners.
