5150'd over a tweet

[PasadenaTrudy]

I still feel new here and rarely post, but I'd like to hear opinions/thoughts on this story. I follow this woman on tumblr and she is adamant about having her experience heard. She made a metaphorical tweet and next thing she knows, LAPD is busting in on her. It sounds crazy but it did happen. It's kinda long but if you have the time....thanks!

4. I'd be ticked at BoBB for letting the cops into the apartment.

He didn't have to. He blew it.

That said, I am not surprised by her story, and I feel bad for her. It does appear that somebody "got" her out of spite.

5. Good point

on letting the cops in. They can't legally force their way in I guess...I'm naive about the "rules."

6. The cops let themselves in with a key

Probably got it from the Super.

9. Whoops. You're right. I had forgotten that point from the essay.

I suppose BoBB's off the hook, but I might have a chat with my attorney about that Super's conduct.

10. I forgot that too

I just wonder how often this kind of thing happens?

7. If this is true, it's horrifying.

It should be getting more attention than it is. If you can talk to this woman, please advise her that she should seek the advice of a lawyer immediately.

8. I think it happened

over 2 yrs. ago. She didn't contact a lawyer that I know of. I think her health problems were too overwhelming at the time.

11. I hope she was able to talk to a lawyer...

Someone should be sued over that.

[Ilsa]

12. I never discuss this stuff over

Twitter, etc. It's too likely to create a backlash from the person you are having to deal with.
I don't tweet. I'll read some people's tweets, but I won't post on Facebook either.
It doesn't surprise that her situation got overblown.

[PasadenaTrudy]

13. I wouldn't either!

Especially going up against a large entity like Kaiser.

14. it's like the soviet union

only here, the totalitarians are corporations.
