Earlier this evening the police busted in, yes busted in, my boyfriend's home. With no warrant. On no charge, at the moment, but once inside found a cat litter jug full of dirt, for the cats obviously, and then proceeded to accuse my boyfriend and his father of illegally smoking and growing marijuana. But the original start of the trouble was when his sister's mother told social services that she and her ex-husband still had JOINT custody. Even after showing proof otherwise the social worker said that the mother had the right to remove the daughter from the home. Which, I know is bullcrap. She gave up her rights completely when she signed over the kids to their dad. But they took the dad to jail, removed his sister from the home, and ordered him off the premises but he could only stay with family. Even though the place where he was staying was his uncle's they said he could not stay. Now his uncle is alone, and terminally ill. Not only that, but they said I was not allowed there.

They said I was not allowed to enter the premises, or even step onto the property, to retreive my clothing or anything. Even under the special circumstances. This is illegal. They can not forbid someone from removing their stuff from a home that is not owned by that of the "suspect". They ordered my boyfriend to have no contact with anyone after he informed me of the situation. And they're making him spend a week in detox. Which is illegal if they have no reason to suspect drug/alcohol abuse. And they have absolutely no reason to suspect either. Does he or his father have the right to suit the Police? Or even social services for returning his sister to an abusive home? It was proven that their mother abusive. Both emotionaly and physically.

To clarify my involvment in this, I live in the home. As does the father of my unborn child. The reasoning behind bringing up the custody thing was that the only reason they have something against this family is because of the daughter. The social worker was pissed that she was misinformed and that the father was correct in the fact that he had full custody of the child. The reason they were pissed was because they had such a hard time in finding anything of this girl. Even though she had a record as long as a football field. Also, there was no crime being commited, no fugitive hiding out, and the owner of the home did not give permission for them to enter/search the home. Especially without a warrant. And they were not accused of growing marijuana 'til almost 30 minutes after entering the home when they discovered a cat litter jug full of dirt for the cats. They automatically assumed it was marijuana, even though it was just dirt..with cat poop in it. Ugh.

same answers as before:
you have no standing in the case if there actually is one.
you obviously don't have all the facts but it does not matter you have no standing for a lawsuit.
just try to be supportive of your boyfriend this is going to be a tough holiday for him.

Re-answer: Okay, you didn't get it the first time, so here's the basic first-grade answer. YES You have the "right" to sue anyone at anytime. There. My point was "IT IS TOO EARLY TO MAKE THAT DECISION" If it happened recently there is probably some sort of report, finding, memo, document, dispatch log, whatever that is not done yet. Lets break down the facts as you write them:
1.) The police "busted" in your bf's home. It sounds like multiple people live in the home because you mentioned his father was accused of growing weed in a pot. Police can enter your home under many circumstances. Without a warrant if a crime is being committed, to prevent distruction of evidence, to apprehend a fleeing person, with consent from someone in control/custody of the home.
2.) You went off on some tangent about a minor child custody dispute. Your facts presnet were not enough to make a logical conclusion.
3.) What do you have to do with this case at all? Look up "standing" in a law dictionary and get back to us.

With all this drama going on in the house and in the family, the kids are probably better off in a foster home. My suggestion would be to get some serious counseling, get your lives together, and see a good lawyer.

There is something you are trying very hard not to say here in order to get the answer you want to hear. If not, then I can only assume you're a moron.
Have you thought about asking this question in a coherent fashion?
