More Legal Shenanigans from the Biden Administration’s Department of Education

Among the foremost threats to individual freedom in America is the abusive and oftentimes lawless behavior of federal administrative agencies, whose vast armies of overpaid bureaucrats remain unaccountable for their excesses.

Evangelina Paredes is suing Stickney (IL) cop Chris Collins, alleging he violated her privacy by searching motor vehicle records for her address and then leaving her a handwritten note on her car windshield asking for a date. 
 
A copy of the note was included with the filing in the U.S. District Court in Chicago, and said:  "It's Chris...that ugly bald Stickney cop who gave you that ticket. I know this may seem crazy and you're probably right, but truth is I have not stopped thinking about you since.  I don't expect a girl as attractive as you to...even go for a guy like me, but I'm taking a shot anyways."

“The letter caused plaintiff to suffer great fear and anxiety,” the lawsuit says. “Plaintiff could not believe that a police officer would use his access to her personal information to find her home and stalk her.”

The lawsuit also names Stickney Police Chief Joseph Kretch and the village of Stickney.
