My name is Patrick Brewer, and I have been homeless for three years this November. I am disabled, and unable to work. I receive money from Social Security which is not enough for me to afford to rent or live in. I barely have enough to survive. I have talked and have asked various organizations that are supposed to work with homeless to better their situations, to which nobody has done anything to help me so far. Many people have promised to help me. Talk, talk, talk, always promise a lot. They don't follow through with.
Catholic Charities is the main entity which has breached their verbal contract to house me. The police have victimized me multiple times. I was convicted of a misdemeanor (shoplifting), and was placed on probation. But they added a search and seizure clause that I can be search anytime, anywhere without probable cause. I am a former paralegal, and have studied this topic, and have concluded that that the law says that I have waived my rights to privacy, and gave permission to whomever wants to search me. Since being placed on probation, I have been searched over 20 times, to which I have been charged with 12 more misdemeanors and 2 felonies. Each time I was searched, I was searched with no probable cause or reasonable suspicion. It was only because they know I'm homeless, and am subject to e=search and seizure. Most of the time, I have been as my bicycle rider, doing only business traveling to someplace, involved in no crimes or broken any traffic laws. I have had them totally intrude and butt in on me in the place I used to stay at without any warning. They poke their heads in, rip the door open, and pulls guns on me. Every time they would trashed my place, my belongings they treated with no regard, breaking or damaging many things that I owned my possessions. They ripped things apart, breaking objects, opening them up, dumping liquids from bottles and caps and containers, pouring liquids out and upon my things, not caring if it destroys my things. They step and stomp upon my things no considering their actions. They feel they the right to harass and intimidate and coerce me to injure my sense of freedom. I feel I am in a concentration camp. I am in fear and constant anxiety. I realize I agreed to the terms of the probation, but only under duress. They gave me no choice. They basically made me agree or they would incarcerate me for the maximum time they could. I have had to bail out three different times, and caused me great trouble and grief. If not for the probation terms, I would not have received one charge. I would have been charged with criminal conduct or breaking the law at the time of the conduct. Not one time when the cops see, they automatically tell us to stop, hands on head, turn around, and search me. I am a I V drug user. I am a heroin addict, and have to have heroin every day or I will get violently sick. So I most of the time have heroin on my person. Which they know this fact, and act upon it to abuse me and violate my rights as an American, as a citizen of the United States of America. I am supposed to be protected. It's my birth right, my God-given right. But in Sonoma County, I feel I am slave, a non-citizen with no rights. I pray every day for deliverance from this situation and relief from this plight. Someone please help me, please.
