Constitutional Rights Violation Concerns
Summary
It appears you are dealing with potential constitutional rights violations, including issues with due process, burden of proof, and fair representation. In criminal cases, the prosecution typically bears the burden of proof. If this is improperly shifted to the defendant, it could be a constitutional issue. You may consider filing a federal lawsuit under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 for civil rights violations. Document all interactions and legal decisions, and consider reaching out to state or federal oversight bodies for judicial or legal complaints. If local legal options are limited, seek external legal advice or assistance from legal aid organizations.Full Conversation

When a written complaint is received by the city or animal control authority, a letter of determination must be served upon the animal’s owner. If the owner wishes to contest this determination of a habitual offender of animal complaints, a written request for hearing shall be presented to the city clerk within three working days of the notice, excluding holidays. The appeal will then come before the mayor to adjudicate the complaint of habitual offender of animal complaints within seven days. In the event the appeal finds by clear and convincing evidence that the complaint is valid, the dog or animal complained of shall be, by order of the city, classified as a habitual offender and the city shall order the owner of the dog or animal to comply with this chapter. Any further appeal of this determination must be brought forth and adjudicated in Asotin district court. (Ord. *-*, *)

Well for almost 3 years I have been targeted by local law enforcement and been the victim of malicious prosecution. I have been denied the right to a speedy trial, the right to due process, the presumption of innocence, and fair representation. And probably a few more violations I’m forgetting.
