Long, loooong story short, my kid is too much like me;
She started a business venture in the Seattle area 7 years ago, and Seattle PD, Feds, border, and between 5-7 other agencies who weren't getting a cut decided to go in & get there's in a sting.
Thing is, they took all her stuff, IE guns, scales, cash, weed....people...and she was 15.
They interrogated her not in my presence after the sting.
I tried getting her property back then, they said "no way".
Now she's got her life' together & wants to be a lawyer.
On Dec. 28th she filed the interagency FOIA request, eg interview, bodycams, the whole shebang.
TWO DAYS later, a letter comes in the mail.
"We have property & cash for you, please come pick it up".
"Should I sue them dad?"
Hell no, and hell no to picking it up in person.
Hire an agent & have it done.
See what the regional political landscape is in 2-3 years of the new administration, build your case on the back end.
It wasn't a ton of cheddar, but enough where she can take the season off.
Somebody got scurred.
