Regarding the illegal activities of Seattle+Renton Police Depts

My first issue is that I believe my civil rights have been violated.  I 
believe the raid on Moon Temple and Sacred Temple was illegal,  I believe the raid on Moon 
Temple and Sacred Temple violated the due process guaranteed to me prior to loosing my right 
to access a religious opportunity of my choice. I believe my 
constitutionally protected right to benefit from the spiritual activities 
offered at Moon Temple/Sacred Temple have been illegally foreclosed and I feel it is my 
duty to hold the responsible parties accountable.

In the case of a dispute, I believe the government is authorized to legally 
challenge the sincerity of anyone claiming a religious status.  This is a 
proper and legal responsibility of government when there is a controversy. 
Obliviously if someone claiming a religious status is not sincere, there is 
no real religious status in the first place.
 
The government can question sincerity but from my reading of the 
constitution the government is prohibited from establishing what is 
religious and what is not religious.  The government is not only NOT 
authorized, they are actually forbidden from engaging in such establishment 
activities.  Even the judicial branch of government is forbidden from 
establishing what is religious and what is not.
 
Additionally the government is forbidden from interfering with the free 
exercise of religion.  Congress shall make no law abridging the freedom of 
religion.  NO law means no law except in cases where other constitutional 
rights might be impaired.  No such condition existed with Moon Temple/Sacred Temple. 
Consenting adults, offering and agreeing to perform and receive a spiritual 
service.  Adults entering into lawful contracts for a religious service is 
not the business of government..
 
The right to freedom of religion is a civil right for all Americans. 
When the government, without proper authority, 
established Moon Temple/Sacred Temple as a brothel, it was done for the purpose of 
avoiding or having to deal with constitutionally protected rights of the 
accused. For the government to engage in this kind of establishment 
activity is a cunning attempt to do an end run around their responsibilities 
and an attempt to claim a jurisdiction that doesn't otherwise legally exist.
 
Moreover, the raid on the Moon Temple/Sacred Temple, with battering rams and drawn guns, 
essentially caused the closure of the Temple's doors and at the same time 
foreclosed my right to freedom of religious expression. They deprived others acess
to benefit from the spiritual opportunities offered at Moon 
Temple/Sacred Temple.  This is an additional violation of the law.  When they battered 
down the Temple door and arrested the Temple staff, it has the effect of 
illegally impairing my contract to engage in a constitutionally protected 
activity.  Their illegal actions serve to have a chilling effect on the 
constitutional rights of all minority religions across the nation.
 
All this seems to me to be an unlawful prior restraint to my civil 
liberties. The government did not follow due process, there was no judicial 
review to determine sincerity etc. The police are not judges under the 
separation of branches rules and it is not legal for the executive branch to 
act as judge and jury in any situation and especially not in religious 
matters..
 
These unlawful actions on the part of law enforcement violated my civil 
rights and the civil rights of every American.  There are laws on the books 
which protect my civil rights from any and all sources including government 
agents that seek to violate the protected rights of American citizens.
 
This brings me to my second issue of concern.
I am currently exploring, along with other concerned individuals, the 
possibility of bringing a class action suit against the illegal actions of 
the various police agencies and the various individuals involved in the Moon 
Temple/Sacred Temple raid.
 
The police were properly notified that Moon Temple/Sacred Temple 
is a religious institution. It occurs to me that their actions were 
purposeful and deliberate. When individual law enforcement agents makes a 
mistake, they have immunity, but when they break the law deliberately, their 
immunity does not apply.  When anyone is duly notified, as in the case of 
 Moon Temple/Sacred Temple, and they still take action in spite of that notification, 
it is to be considered a malicious action and not excusable.
 
I am deeply damaged by the illegal actions of law enforcements.
 I also feel compelled to hold them accountable.
