MEMORANDUM OPINION & ORDER
Before the Court is Plaintiff TRUMPTHEBUIIDER who brings this Verified Petition to
Perpetuate Testimony (hereinafter “the Petition”) seeking court order to compel the deposition
and testimony of both Respondents before action. On review of the substance of the Petition, it is
ordered that the Petition is GRANTED.
BACKGROUND
On February 9th, 2024, Petitioner was outside the administration office for the Palmer
Police Department on the corner of Palmer Blvd and Laguma Avenue. They were accused of
using a handheld blunt object to repeatedly strike another person in a crowded area that included
police officers. During that incident, Petitioner was approached and detained by Respondent
TierTwoKid, a police officer for the City of Palmer, Ridgeway. Petitioner was tased and placed
into handcuff restraints by the Respondent who then attempted to take them into custody within
the administration office for further processing of their field investigation.
In the process of taking Petitioner inside the building, another individual armed with an
illegal automatic firearm shot and killed both the Petitioner and the Respondent who was
attempting to maintain custody over the Petitioner. Both parties respawned and resumed their
gameplay within Ridgeway County. The interaction between the two parties was abruptly
concluded by the actions of the third-party.
Sometime after that event, Petitioner alleges that they were again approached, cuffed,
and, successfully, arrested by Respondent Subodh3111, a sheriff’s deputy for the Ridgeway
County Sheriff’s Office. They were charged with R.C.C. § 3.03 and accused of using a blunt
object to injure another person in front of the administration office of the Palmer Police
Department where the previous incident had taken place. The arrest report further mentioned that
the arrest was effectuated based on the testimony of a police officer with the Palmer Police
Department, which Respondent TierTwoKid is employed with.
Petitioner became suspicious that their arrest came as a result of the initial confrontation
with Respondent TierTwoKid which had ended in roleplay because of their death in custody. In
light of this, they sought to inquire further as to whether this was the case and whether a
violation of their rights had occurred because of the arrest. The Petition seeks the testimonies of
Respondent TierTwoKid and Respondent Subodh3111, both officers who were involved in the
arrest of the Petitioner.
LEGAL FINDINGS
A potential claimant may preserve possible evidentiary substance in their claim through a
petition to depose another witness before action is taken. Namely, this ability is for those “who
desires to perpetuate his own testimony or that of another person regarding any matter that may
be cognizable in any court.” Rid. R. Civ. P. 20(a)(1). The principle of this rule is to allow a
person to collect testimony before they file a civil complaint or to employ such testimony in their
civil complaint to bring it to life. In this matter, Petitioner’s cause remains within those
boundaries as they have not yet filed action on the incident they allege in the Petition.
The guidelines for whether a petition to perpetuate testimony may be granted are outlined
in our procedural rules, requiring that the petitioner (1) expects to bring an action on the matter
they seek testimony on but are presently unable to do so; (2) expresses the subject matter of their
action and interests; (3) enumerates the facts they seek to demonstrate through testimony as well
as their reasons; (4) provide the names of adverse parties to their expected action; and, most
importantly, (5) list the persons of which testimony is sought as well as what relevancy their
testimony would serve in the expected action, as well as the boundaries for relevant statements.
Applying these guidelines to the case before us, Petitioner must inquire further into the
arrest that was effectuated by Respondent Subodh3111 and whether it was at the direction of
Respondent TierTwoKid. Upon analysis of the claims presented, the expected action that the
Court sees alleged by the Petitioner is actionable by this Court either through further petitioning
for habeas corpus or for monetary relief related to official misconduct. It is within the interests of
the Petitioner to inquire further onto whether the arrest was kosher. Additionally, the Petition
enumerated three facts that they sought to demonstrate through the testimony, that: (1)
Respondent “TierTwoKid did not have probable cause to arrest” Petitioner; (2) Respondent
“TierTwoKid led [Respondent] Subodh3111 [..] to arrest [Petitioner] under the false pretense of
probable cause;” (3) and all other facts that may be admitted. Petitioner’s Verified Petition to
Perpetuate Testimony ¶4-5. Lastly, the Petition explicitly noted that Petitioner “intends to
commence a civil action against TierTwoKid for official misconduct.” Id., at ¶3.
Generally, a judge should rarely cast ire on a request to perpetuate testimony unless the
request is unreasonably inconsistent with our procedural rules so that it may unnecessarily
burden another person to testify where they aren’t needed. Only if a request fails to meet this low
hurdle should a request be rejected, otherwise it is in the best interests of justice to maintain and
preserve the statements of a respondent. See Rid. R. Civ. P. 20(a)(3). This case is sufficient in
that there exists material claim that is worth further inquiry by the petitioning party, and to deny
their request may likely cause an injustice to be left uncorrected.
CONCLUSION
SO ORDERED, ADJUDGED, AND DECREED in chambers in Palmer, Ridgeway
County, this 11th day of February 2024 that, for the foregoing reasons, the Petitioner’s Verified
Petition to Perpetuate Testimony is GRANTED.
