and, i will repeat the facts in the case i'm dealing with, tersely.

1) in september, i was arrested (illegally - that is, without a warrant on a charge where one is required in canada) in my home for harassment for repeatedly applying to an ad for housing. all communication in the matter was with a corporation. the person i was communicating with used the screen name of "ryan", and i had no other clues as to their gender. i have never met this person or even seen a picture of them, and would not be able to identify him or her (the person's gender actually remains unclear to me) if put in a room with them.

2) communication in the matter was strictly related to the question of housing availability. no other matters were discussed, whatsoever.

3) i am readying litigation against this person for discrimination in housing, and expect to win a cash settlement in the matter. broadly speaking, litigation in the matter is likely to drag on for several years, on my own initiative.

4) charges were dropped in november, upon the realization that the officer did not collect the electronic communication that the case was reliant upon. i actually have most of the electronic communication in question and will be using it in the civil proceedings against the complainant. i intended to go to trial, with the intent of the judge dismissing the charges as ridiculous - if the communication were to be placed in front of a judge and correctly analysed, i am confident that it would be determined to not remotely fit any definition of harassment. as it is, the policing was too incompetent to even collect it - and, as such, no warrant for arrest could have possibly been granted, if applied for.

5) there is consequently an ongoing investigation into the conduct of the officer that i am expecting this week. i believe the officer acted primarily out of a transphobic bias, and the issue was interconnected with arguments i was having with tenants in the building regarding my right to not be invaded by their second-hand marijuana smoke, or otherwise disturbed by their drug or alcohol habits.

6) i would actually like the officer charged with harassment, as i am the only victim in the situation, at hand.

7) upon completion of the investigation into the conduct of the officer, i will be launching a substantive charter challenge for a massive infringement of my constitutional rights, which is the only remaining legal issue at hand.
