To assist you better, could you please provide more details about the nature of your complaint? This will help in drafting the official document more accurately.
On February *, *, Mt. Juliet police, led by Detective Michael Bates, alongside the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation (TBI) and Tennessee Highway Patrol, raided our apartment in Nashville, TN. Despite the door being open, they breached it, injuring my fiancé, Jishon Batey, who blacked out after being hit in the head. My minor son and I were zip-tied and taken outside. No warrant was shown, despite multiple requests. Bates threatened me with a conspiracy charge, asking for drugs, which we did not have. My son later revealed that masked men, who did not seem to be law enforcement, stole items and took his phone, warning him not to speak. They also damaged our safe, took firearms, jewelry, and electronics, but falsely claimed only cash and vehicles were seized. Following the raid, our home and cars were repeatedly broken into, but no police reports were filed. The raid was conducted unlawfully, before * AM, and my son was questioned without a guardian.
This situation involves multiple potential violations of rights:
- No Warrant Presented: Law enforcement must present a search warrant upon request.
- Unreasonable Seizure: Items taken and no proper documentation.
- Excessive Force: Injuries and use of pepper gas.
- Illegal Search Time: Raid occurred outside of permissible hours.
- Questioning Minor Without Guardian: Your child questioned without an adult present.
