You ask why? No I wasn't busted. Infact I graduated at the top of my class from LIU in NYC. I also received my masters in accounting at UNCC. I want to sue because anyone here can go to the magistrate and file a warrant against you. I had a nutty ex boyfriend that repeatedly wen to the magistrates and filed warrants against me for communicating threats. Ofg the course the cases were dismissed and eventually he was thrown in jail. However my mug shot still remains on the NC website for all to seer. It is totally embarassing considering that I am a professional. Yes you can have one of the charges expunged for a ridiculous fee between $750 and $1,000. I have been turned down for a luxury appartment and for a very prestigious posiyion with a top firm here in NC. Of course they wouldnt give it to me in writing but a little birgy told me that even thpough you were just arrested and not convicted they question your character for being arrested for communicating threats with a gun.

Tracey, what is most frightening is the fact that the law fails to validate allegations before entering them into the system againsts the accused - well aware the record is public. My guess? You are a known determined and/or strong-willed individual. Such are threats in the USA, and the system often looks for excuses to attempt to silence and/or intimidate such individuals.

What constitutional rights were violated? You received due process of law. The state of NC did not do anything to you. The magistrate reviewed your case and then dismissed the charges.
You want to get a luxury apartment, and you can't even afford to pay the $1000 fee to get the charges expunged? I'm sorry that you got screwed over by a nutty ex boyfriend, but how is that the fault of the NC government? If you're such a smart, sassy professional, why did you go out with such a wacko anyway?
Come on. Give us a break. You're wasting everyone's time posting something like this. You can't blame NC for your own stupidness. What happened to you is unfortunate - but just pay the $1000 fee and move on with your life.

Welcome to the world of the wrongfully accussed. I hope you don't plan on being a lawyer because not a single constitutional right has been violated. If you have an issue with the law where people can go and sign out complaints then that is a state issue not a constitutional one. find your local state representative and talk to them about this law and if they agree and represent you and the other citizens properly they will raise it as an issue and have it voted on to change.
But based on the constitution of the USA there has been no violation and you really have no grounds for a suit. These are the laws of NC and the local police and government are following them. If you don't agree with them, work to get them changed or leave the area.

If your mug shot was taken you must have been arrested and booked, and the charges later dropped.
Anyone arrested, I believe, has their mug shot retained. Felony arrests are not just forgotten about.
What was it about your ex boyfriend's story that was so believable? Cops don't have time to arrest and book someone just on a whim.
Sorry for your problem. Sounds like you have to go through an application process to get the charges expunged, if you are eligible.

First, it's not a violation of your constitutional rights. Your rights have been protected. Due Process worked. The state has done nothing wrong.
What you are talking about are tort actions for abuse of process, or malicious civil prosecution, or wrongful use of civil procedure. And those are civil tort claims that would be filed against the person who raised the charges, not against the state.
The state is doing is job and following the laws. If you want to go after someone, go after the person that is abusing those laws to target you. Consult a licensed attorney for details on how to do that.

You can't sue for the laws to be judicially reviewed and deemed unconstitutional, but you need to challenge the law by petitioning the magistrate office that the mugshot and record be taken down. If they resist, take them to court and claim that you are being punished for a crime you did not commit (assuming you didn't, and that you were not convicted, which i think is the case). Anyway, the cheaper and easier route would be to just pay to get it expunged...good luck w/ it all!

Not sure why you had to throw your educational background in there because that really does not mean a thing...a person could be at the top of their class of an ivy league school, but that does NOT mean they are not capable of committing a crime...so it was pointless to include that. And with that...as you are so educated, perhaps you should have used spell check prior to hitting submit.
Secondly, while I'm not saying you are totally making this up...keep in mind that we are only hearing one side of the story here. We haven't heard from your ex, just you...you could be making this all up. As we don't know you personally, we could never truly know. No, this is not an outrageous claim on my part...there are PLENTY of psychotic women out there...my brothers and friends and cousin have dated plenty of them in my area.

The police did not reason your female buddy to lose her nursing license. Your female buddy lost her very own nursing license by potential of being irresponsible sufficient to stay in a house with marijuana plant life. No sympathy for the devil. She knew she grow to be putting her license at risk and she or he did it besides. Is that the fashion of fool you prefer looking after your mom on the scientific institution?

Sue your ex boyfriend, he's the one that that filed the
complaints.
Since you are a "professional", I suggest you use
spell check in your communications.
