Los Gatos Police dept. ruined my life.

They detained me without just cause, then they chose to "tow and store " my vehicle. They then delayed my recovery of this vehicle for two weeks.
In the end it cost me in excess of $7,000 for thier mistake. 
In the following weeks after the incident, I quit work, moved out of my beautiful home in Santa Cruz, have been homeless and desitute ever since. 

They have proven to me that this is only a free country if you can afford to buy your freedom. I did nothing wrong, no Charge was filed yet they went to extremes to cost me as much as possible. 

I don't want anything to do with society on a whole after the abusive treatment, threats, punitive measures and intimidation tactics that your officers use. 

Los Gatos Police Dept. should be commended on thier success in creating a culture of contempt and detestation toward the public. 

My  experience has proven to me that we have no civil rights in this country. My life is over, I have nothing left and no fight left in me either.
Why can't they just be honest, decent human beings? Why do they hire people with mental problems?
What makes them feel so good about themselves by destroying innocent people? Now they are really doing the job. Don't you think.

Yes I have PTSD thank you LGPD for completely destroying my life.
