Today's DEPOSITION returns to NOSY NEIGHBOR AND THE GANG infrastructure---both people as SEXUAL PREDATORS and REVENUE streams from illegal streaming surveillance pornography. In advance my case against NOSY NEIGHBORS AND THE GANG I look for LEGAL PRECEDENCE which often shows crimes different in nature but similar in structure. For example, I described how each NOSY NEIGHBOR, whether tag team living inside an apartment building being CAPTURED/HARD-WIRED----or those NOSY NEIGHBORS actually owning a building as a home.
I want to equate the structure I call ORGANIZATION BLACK MARKET RICO RACKETEERING PORNOGRAPHY ---as I do calling the structure similar to DRUG DEALING----FEEDBACK this past week created a stucture looking much like that in inner city where small business owners were 'BULLIED' into being 'PROTECTED' by a local criminal gang with PAYMENT MONEY-----being placed on A LIST------with that business-owner being 'PROTECTED' having that business space open to THE GANG coming and going---having meetings----all while that SMALL BUSINESS OWNER made fearful----feeling he/she could not escape this capture---not wanting to be part of ILLEGAL ACTIVITIES tied to THIS GANG----were left to PAY THE CONFIDENCE MEN.

Charles Village:
Baltimore, Maryland
Summary
Recognizing the limits of their authority to address safety concerns, residents, citizen groups, and alliances from Baltimore's Charles Village neighborhood turned to the Maryland State Assembly for help. They proposed establishing a benefits district so they could collect a small levy from property owners for additional security and sanitation services. At the time such districts had been established for U.S. downtowns and commercial zones only and not for residential areas.
The neighborhood's proposal was approved, enabling the Charles Village Community Benefits District to be formed in 1994. Funded by a minimal levy on property values, the district has successfully managed to cut crime in half since its inception while serving as a model for three additional service districts in Baltimore.
Given the neighborhood's strong and dedicated activist community, economic and social diversity, and memorable character enhanced by designs from the renowned Olmsted Brothers firm, APA has named Charles Village as one of 10 Great Neighborhoods in America for 2008.

'Mall Bathroom 'Peeping Tom' Sentenced To 10 Years In Jail, All Suspended
Thursday, August 23, 2018
Jenny Fulginiti, WBAL-TV 11'
Technology aids 'peeping Toms,' makes trauma worse for victims
A man charged with installing a video camera that filmed people using the family bathroom at the White Marsh Mall has been sentenced.
Mussawwir Sterrett, 40, was sentenced Thursday in Baltimore County Circuit Court to 10 years in jail, with all of it suspended, and five years of supervised probation, said Lisa Dever, of the Baltimore County State's Attorney’s Office. He will have to register as a sex offender.
The state asked for 18 months in jail.
Police said in January that Sterrett put a motion sensor camera inside a family bathroom at White Marsh Mall. Sterrett ran a business installing cameras in people's private homes at the time.
A person using the family bathroom Dec. 23 at the White Marsh Mall food court made the startling discovery.
"A patron walked into the family bathroom and noticed that there was a small black box above the partition between two of the stalls in the family bathroom, and then realized there was a small camera that was attached to that," said Baltimore County police Officer Jennifer Peach.
Police said that camera was set up by Sterrett. They said he caught himself on the video, which they released to the public.

NOSY NEIGHBOR AND THE GANG as I detailed love to create a DELUSIONAL structure of this building capture by illegal surveillance and pornography. They create all kinds of VOICE-OVERS, all kinds network streaming sharing of parts of videos geared to make it seem the TENET/BUILDING OWNER captured by this SEXUAL PREDATOR RING----are ENSLAVED----are SEX SLAVES----it is a BUSINESS ---PIMP/PROSTITUTE with all involved KNOWING/CONSENTING/LIKING IT when in fact NONE OF THAT EXISTS. The building owners are being MUSCLED BY CONFIDENCE MEN/WOMEN----while the tenets are simply left unaware until NOSY NEIGHBORS want to bring in NEW STUFF as the next victims/new tenets are called.
This is why all that FEEDBACK/CHATTER surrounding my needing to move---surrounding the fact other apartment in building have been HARD-WIRED with cameras and microphones ------making it appear ANYONE choosing to remain in this building will be CONTRACTED EMPLOYEES PIMPS AND PROSTITUTES.
'I. The U.S. Experience in Cartel Enforcement
Our Supreme Court has accurately labeled cartels "the supreme evil of antitrust." Verizon Communications Inc. v. Law Offices of Curtis V. Trinko, LLP, 540 U.S. 398, 408 (2004). The fixing of prices, bids, output, and markets by cartels has no plausible efficiency justification; therefore, antitrust authorities properly regard cartel behavior as per se illegal and a "hard core" violation of the competition laws.
The United States has long experience prosecuting cartels, and its efforts have yielded solid results. Some of those results are quantifiable: in fiscal years 2004 and 2005, and so far in 2006, the Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice has obtained fines of $360 million, $338 million, and $473 million, respectively, and has brought criminal cases against 69 firms. Some of the results are less tangible, but no less real: the Division has uncovered evidence that some cartelists choose to compete in the United States, even while continuing cartel behavior in other nations, due to the fear of U.S. prosecution'.
As I say often------these unknowing victims are not the ones SHAMED AND HUMILIATED----as I use examples of ABU GHRAIB and other SEXUAL PREDATOR profiling to identify where SOCIETAL NORMS place SEXUAL PREDATORS outside of CIVIL SOCIETY.
Supposed from yesterday's FEEDBACK my building owners are literally being forced onto CONTRACT status as PIMPS and any tenets should be ready to serve as PROSTITUTES for NOSY NEIGHBOR AND THE GANG.
Below I share what will be used as MY LEGAL STRUCTURE in pursuing justice from continuous illegal surveillance to include PORNOGRAPHY.
So, my building owners over several decades spent FIGHTING these criminal structures now being BULLIED BY CONFIDENCE MEN/WOMEN to become those SEXUAL PREDATORS in NOSY NEIGHBOR AND THE GANG NETWORKS.
So, now I have CONFIDENCE MEN telling me my building is UNDER CONTRACT for exclusive rights to illegal streaming video and PORNOGRAPHY----

Criminal Sanctions for Cartel Behaviour

INTRODUCTION
The Trade Practices Amendment (Cartel Conduct and Other Measures) Bill 2008 (Cth) controversially proposes the introduction of criminal sanctions for certain cartel behaviour. These measures were recommended by the Dawson Committee in its 2003 review, and not surprisingly have the support of the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC).
In this article, I will introduce the proposed new rules, before assessing whether cartel conduct should be criminalised, in terms of traditional conceptions of what behaviour should be considered to be criminal in nature, as well as the likely effectiveness of the new regime in terms of deterring cartel behaviour, and enforcing cartel provisions more generally.
II
OUTLINE OF PROPOSED NEW RULES
Proposed new s 44ZZRF of the Trade Practices Act 1974
(Cth) will make it an offence for an individual
to:
(a) make a contract or arrangement, or arrive at an understanding, with the intention of dishonestly obtaining a benefit, where
(b) the contract, arrangement, or understanding (‘the contract etc’) contains a cartel provision.
It is also an offence to give effect to the cartel provision with the intention of dishonestly obtaining a benefit.
This provision, but not the above provision, applies retrospectively. In the absence in either case of evidence that the individual intended to dishonestly obtain a benefit, the conduct can be punished by the civil penalty provisions.
I want to equate the structure I call ORGANIZATION BLACK MARKET RICO RACKETEERING PORNOGRAPHY ---as I do calling the structure similar to DRUG DEALING----FEEDBACK this past week created a stucture looking much like that in inner city where small business owners were 'BULLIED' into being 'PROTECTED' by a local criminal gang with PAYMENT MONEY-----being placed on A LIST------with that business-owner being 'PROTECTED' having that business space open to THE GANG coming and going---having meetings----all while that SMALL BUSINESS OWNER made fearful----feeling he/she could not escape this capture---not wanting to be part of ILLEGAL ACTIVITIES tied to THIS GANG----were left to PAY THE CONFIDENCE MEN.
