that's odd.

i used to be able to get through to transcripts through the general line; it's no longer a valid option. hrmmn.

i'll try again after 1:30.

i've decided to wait. again. i just don't want to act prematurely. i got a little eager last month and want to learn from it - i want to be aggressive about this, but careful in my approach. i believe i have a year to file the discrimination lawsuit. but it's really the suit against the cops that i feel is more lucrative, and i'm not acting on that until i get the report against the cop in, which i'm now being told i'll need to wait until early february for.

i want to file everything i'm filing in the court house all at the same time....that would be the constitutional challenge against the cops and the request for original audio.

i have to reiterate the absurdity of what i'm doing: i'm asking the justice to release original recordings, under suspicion of somebody altering the record. it's only not crazy because i'm so sure that i'm right. and, until i can demonstrate my point, i understand that i'm going to be viewed as a loose cannon. i'm really dreading having to walk in and do it. but i don't have a choice, given that i'm certain it was altered.

what i need to do is talk to somebody in the transcript office about how the data is stored, and at least get some information about somebody that i can ask about it - because i don't expect the justice to know, off of the top of her head. i need to be able to prevent a clear and concise request.

so, the way this is shaping up is that i'll probably get this all filed at the same time in late february or early march. for the day, i want to make these calls.
