I understood this was a law only used by the government, previously?(cooked up to control dissent?)This “private prosecutor” provision is a leftover from the Yugoslav wars. It was a way for people who had their property damaged or even stolen during the war to sue the perpetrators and rectify the situation. Usually local disputes involving people who were too small potatoes to ship off to The Hague for criminal trials.
He’s abusing this provision in order to get back at people who made derogatory comments toward him on the internet.
What lawsuit? There isn't one AFAIK ..There is something filed with the Sisak court. I use the term “lawsuit” loosely because this provision they have there for people being able to “criminally prosecute” people is probably often abused. The courts there in Sisak probably have to deal with these suits from time to time from spiteful neighbours complaining about noisy dogs or if someone ran over their chicken and refused to compensate them.
Those people have a better case than Lloyd Evans.
To put it in better terms, what he did is the equivalent of making a call to the police and having them take down a report. There is a point where they ask you if you want to “press charges” and you say yes.
Let me try this out right now, hold on….
I’m back. Lloyd, I’ve just gotten off the phone with the police. For making threatening comments about coming after people for 40 years and hunting them down, according to Officer Broussard at the Burlington Vermont Police Department they would like to have a word with you. Please contact him as you are now a suspect in a criminal investigation.
Patrons of Lloyd Evans - You are now financially supporting a suspect in a criminal investigation.
See how easy that is?
Officer Broussard also informed me that the phone is not a toy and I probably need to stay off social media if he’s bothering me that much.
