ALDSTADT VS JENSEN-3 WEEKS TO GO

Three weeks to go an it looks like John Copic still wants to throw the book at Jensen. Talk about a miscarriage of justice but we know the justice system has no relation to the word JUSTICE

When people think of Telephone harassment we usually think of telephone calls that go on for days weeks or months. Maybe just 'hang ups' or 'deep breathing' or 'threats' of one sort or another.

Trimet loses round 1 in the Lane Jensen case

Readers of this blog already know that Trimet lies daily about everything under the sun. It's actually rare that they tell the truth about anything going on there. They  have taken misinformation and made it into an art form with their  highly professional propaganda Department.

The biggest lie in the Lane Jensen Case, spread by one of the biggest faces of liars at Trimet, MARY FETCH was that this case was not about Trimet vs Lane Jensen, it's about  a 'private person' (Trimet propaganda employee Roberta Alsdadt)  getting 2 text messages in five months that 'annoyed' her. Lane is barred from board meetings and can't contact any managers but it is not about Trimet. What lies they spin over there.

The defense asked that all emails, text messages, memo's and every other item that bares Lane Jensen's name  be provided going back to January 1, 2013.  Trimet attempted this morning to QUASH that subpoena by arguing that the case is not about Trimet. The defense reminded the judge how a federal judge fined Trimet $5,000 for hiding evidence in the case of David Sale among other things.

Trimet's motion was denied and there goes another lie spread by the liars of Trimet down the drain.

Trimet is indeed involved with the prosecution of Lane Jensen, its all about Trimet. Never believe what Trimet says about anything. They are paid to lie.

ALSTADT VS JENSEN

Much has been said about Aldstadt and her 'personal time'. Let's take a look at what her job description says:

THE COURT ORDER PROHIBITING LANE JENSEN FROM TAKING PICTURES IS STRUCK DOWN

This just in, according to Lane Jensen's attorney the order prohbiting Lane from taking pictures of Trimet buses and trains has been removed. Well its one teeny tiny victory at least. But what we see before our very own eyes is the reckless abuse of power and authority.

JOHN COPIC WON'T BE HAPPY TILL HE HAS LANE ON DEATH ROW

John Copic is the DA for every case involving Trimet. His position is funded by Trimet. Looking more like Detective Columbo then Perry Mason he certainly has it in for Lane Jensen. 

John Copic seems to have no problem framing Lane Jensen for crimes he did not commit

WAS LANE JENSEN SET UP A SECOND TIME?

Lane thought he was abiding by the court order when he made the podcast and he had every reason to think that. Below is a copy of the original release document which states he must do two things, attempt no contact with Aldstadt and remove a blog post. He abided by both restrictions but was arrested anyway

After the kangaroo court proceeding (which was allowed to proceed even though his lawyer was not there)  had ended he was given an updated copy of the restrictions. Now logical people would think all of this would have been spelled out correctly the first time. But then again logical people aren't trying to set up other people for false imprisonment

Facebook Post Here

#TRIMET WARS: Lane Jensen of Portland Transit Lane, perhaps this community's most vocal transit rider advocate, is once again under siege by TriMet's unaccountable rogue bureaucrats. Neil McFarlane, Randy Steadman, and Roberta Altstadt are acting as despots with taxing authority and a dedicated police force - right here in America!

ALDSTADT VS JENSEN

 We are continuing our investigation into the facts of Aldstadt vs Jensen. In this segment we will examine  this piece of evidence below:

In this odd piece of the evidence we find that Ms Aldstadt had blocked Lane from her phone. 
Which of course leads me to the next question, why did she unblock him?
There is only one answer to that question that I can think of, in hopes  to entrap him into this phony criminal case

In criminal law, entrapment is when a law enforcement agent induces a person to commit an offense that the person would have otherwise been unlikely to commit.^[1] It is a type of conduct that is generally frowned upon, and thus in many jurisdictions is a possible defense against criminal liability.
Depending on the law in the jurisdiction, the prosecution may be required to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant was not entrapped or the defendant may be required to prove that they were entrapped as an affirmative defense.
Sting operations are fraught with ethical concerns over whether they constitute entrapment.

MAKING SENSE OUT OF ALSTDADT VS JENSEN

Please understand that I am not Lane's attorney and have not been communicating with Lane's attorney I don't have the slightest idea how the defense will be mounted.

This is my personal investigation so I might better understand the case

 I do know that the defense has asked for three days in which to try this case so that all witnesses can be called and examined under oath.

We know that Alstdadt  (sorry if I am spelling it wrong) has stated in the police report that he was texting her on her 'personal cell phone' and that Trimet gives her "a separate cell phone" for company business.
However her so called 'personal cell phone' is listed on the Trimet contacts internal document.

When we examine the INTERNAL DOCUMENT  what we see is that there are 3 numbers that are listed. The 962 number which is a land line, the cell phone in question, and something called the 'duty pager'. Now she has stated for the record that "Trimet gives her a cell phone for Trimet business"

Why in the world would her so called personal cell number be on that list when TRIMET GIVES HER A SEPARATE CELL PHONE?

Something doesn't add up, is it possible she lied to the police about that phone of hers?

WHAT WAS LANE JENSEN DOING ON THE TRIMET SYSTEM

Lane Jensen appears in court the victim of political persecution and injustice

Everybody knows that Lane Jensen was seemingly everywhere on the Trimet system, on buses and trains, at board meetings reporting live from every single place he was at that moment. And he was not hidden in the shadows, he was out in the open, he created a fire storm wherever he appeared. 

This is called WATCH-DOGGING and its defined:

The term watchdog journalism is strongly related to the practice of investigative journalism. A watchdog is defined as "a person or group of persons that acts as a protector or guardian against inefficiency, illegal practices, etc." by the Collins English Dictionary.^[1] In news journalism, a watchdog journalist also fulfills this function of being a guardian. To perform in an investigative manner, the journalist is in the "role" of a watchdog.^[2] Watchdog journalism cannot be defined by the amount of investigation alone, however, but is used in many different contexts. It also is stated "contingent on the existing social, political, and economic conditions and a reflection as much of the historical moment as it is of pre‐existing structures and media cultures".^[3] Watchdog journalism can be located in a variety of news media, such as radio, television, Internet, and print media where it may be seen as "a unique strength of newspapers",^[4] and additional new media and concepts such as weblogs and citizen journalism. Watchdog journalists also are called "watchmen",^[5] "agents of social control", or "moral guardians".<sup>[6]

MORE PROBLEMS WITH ALSTEDT VS JENSEN

The more I investigate this case the more holes develop. It has been alleged that he had been calling her 'personal' cell phone. That turns out to be false and I have the evidence to prove it.I have removed her phone number in order to prevent more phony charges coming back on Lane

This is the post that is part of the evidence against Lane where he is 'encouraging' so called 'harassment' against Roberta. However when we examine the post what we find is that he is asking the public to call her and ask here a simple question on retirement benefits for union employees vs non union employees. This was posted because Roberta refused to answer his question. It's obviously an attempt to get her to answer the question and the only reference to annoying her is in the title. The post itself clearly wants an answer to the question. Now that is not her 'personal' cell phone number (removed). How do I know this?

That same number is listed on the internal Trimet contact list! It's a business line not a personal line. If you have expectations of privacy you certainly don't put your phone number on a list of contact numbers that is handed out to every single manager in the agency!

ROBERTA ALSTEDST WAS MOST LIKELY PART OF A CONSPIRACY TO ENTRAP LANE JENSEN

Roberta Altsdadt part of a Trimet conspiracy to entrap Lane Jensen, It's more than likely

Ms Altsdadt has Verizon as the carrier Which means she could have easily blocked his cell number. But she didn't block it and that begs the question why not? It takes 2 minutes!
Obviously she didn't block it because she was part of a conspiracy to entrap Lane into the 'criminal case'. 
There is no doubt in my mind that this whole scheme was likely thought up by the Trimet legal department and she colluded with them to entrap Lane. Keep in mind that this 'harassment' is composed of 2 text message streams separated by over 5 months. The case is a farce and that will all become clear at trial.

This is your Trimet, will stoop as low as the can go to get their way.

Putting things into the proper perspective re Alsdedt vs Jensen

I've been getting a lot of excellent comments lately since bringing back the anonymous option. 
This comment deserves its own post because it clearly puts into perspective the two worlds that Trimet employees live in.
One is a world with privilege, entitlement, huge salaries, and basically zero interface with Trimet's customers.
The other world is being on stage hours at a time, getting up at gawd awful hours or going to sleep late into early morning, exposing yourself too all sorts of pathogens carried by bus rider, and a world where you are expected to put up with Verbal abuse, read below to get the picture

TRIMET MANAGER VS LANE JENSEN

Roberta Altsdadt

It has been brought to my attention that if the case against Lane Jensen was brought by Trimet it would say Trimet vs Lane Jensen.

It is  one Trimet manager Roberta Aldstedt (sorry don't know the exact spelling and have no intention of looking it up every time I use it) who is using Trimet resources such as the Trimet police and  Trimet district attorney to prosecute him. 

 She is also using her presence to prevent Lane from attending public meetings by pretending he is a threat to her.
It needs to be brought to the public's attention that Ms Altsdadt could have blocked his number from her phone, or could have sought a restraining order against Lane, but the plan was obviously to wait till Lane fell into the trap that was set up for him.
There were 5 months between the two incidents of 'telephone harassment'. 
She took no steps to mitigate this situation.

Although she is the only one who is 'charging' Lane with criminal activity Lane is unable to contact any other manager at Trimet.

No matter how they try to justify this action, it is an obvious abuse power and the abuse of police authority.

I STAND CORRECTED
