Re: . . . Emergency Evaluation Petitions
. . . -- Perjury
. . . -- Falsification of Medical Records
. . . -- False police reports
. . . -- Unwarranted Police Brutality
. . . -- Abuse of the Courts
. . . -- Deceptive practices

. . . -- False Imprisonment
Sirs and Madam:
The Emergency Evaluation process is covered by the Health - General Article Section 10-622 of the Annotated Code.
There are three fundamental requirements:
. . . -- That the Petitioner shall have examined the evaluee, and
. . . -- That the Evaluee shall present a danger to him or herself, and/or
. . . -- That the Evaluee shall present a danger to others.
Unless these criteria are met, unless acting in good faith, the Petitioner is supposed to be subject to the penalties of perjury.
There is no provision in the law as to whether and the capability of the evaluee to demand review by either the State's Attorney or the Courts before or after the evaluation.
For that reason, enclosed is a transcript of the hearing in the Senate on Senate Bill 742 held on March 18 of this year, taken under oath.
You will agree that the Emergency Evaluation Petitions also enclosed (March 7, Shantisse White; March 8, Diane Ossip) were in fact perjured and contain false testimony. The Ossip version was later used at face value and prima facie for an Admissions Summary and at an Involuntary Commitment hearing. I was detained unjustly but for her perjury, false swearing and deceptive practices as detailed in the enclosed transcript. The perjured Ossip petition eventually "justified" the decision of a clinical review panel which eventually transferred me to the State hospital system. The doctor at the State hospital system relied primarily on the Admissions Summary which was a fabrication of Diane Ossip and an immature resident physician.
The ease at which Shantisse White and Diane Ossip were able to accomplish my detainment was (1) because I had been prior approved for Maryland Health Partners Insurance Funding from the Mental Hygiene Administration. MHP monies come directly from the General Fund. Thus, the fraud extends farther than a simple insurance company; (2) the Baltimore City Police Department enforces petitions without testing their credibility; and (3) the District Court admits testimony without further inquiry. Further, their sources of information are faulty, misguided and/or biased, particularly Sharon Lerner and Doris Balis, M.D.
Your attention to and sanction of this systematic violation of law is requested.
