FEDERAL CASES–Federal CasesWhen the Feds come and bust in your door, (in my case two houses I wasn’t in before they finally showed up outside the condo where I was), looking to arrest you on a conspiracy rap.I don’t care how tough you are; you’re in for a long ride before the dust settles.
I know many arm chair commandos who talk tough, but if they were looking at life, would piss down their legs and roll over for the government. Some of you know who you are. I’ve known others that were faced with the same situation over the years, and they did roll over. You know who you are, too.An honorable person will ride the beef. The fact that he is innocent or guilty doesn’t matter. He refuses to sell out and cooperate to save his own ass at the expense of others.
The first thing that happens to anyone who is arrested is they take you to a jail and put you in a room handcuffed to the chair you’re sitting in. At this point they want to read you your rights and then interview you. This is the point where many of the weak jump ship. Remember that you have the right to remain silent. You don’t have to talk to anyone, and if you tell them so, and assert your right to remain silent, they will have to discontinue attempts to interview you.
In all federal cases, records are kept of every interview. If there are snitches in your case, you will be able to get copies of everything they said before trial. When a person cooperates, he will not be sentenced until after he is done testifying against the other people charged in the conspiracy. This assures the prosecutor that the snitch doesn’t change his story, or discontinue cooperating before the defendants go to trial.
Red flags that will come up when you try to look into court records on an informant: sealed records, which you can’t get into, closed hearings, and sentences that are well below the guidelines. In my case, I have left all my court records open to inspection by anyone with the guts to ask to see them. No sealed records, etc.
We are posting the transcript from my sentencing on the Web, also. Many who couldn’t make it have requested it.
I want to thank all the F.R.C. and others who have made this site a success. Stay with us, it’s just the beginning and we have a lot of work to do.

IN LOVING MEMORY OF MICHAEL (Hotdog Mike) POARCHMarch 11, 1956 — April 2, 2001You may have seen him — Hawaiin shirt, shorts and sandals with white socksselling awesome New York-style hotdogs from his custom Sportster triketricked out with a table and seats (yeah, table and seats) and pulling ahotdog cart. Mike was a loving father and husband and left behind manyfriends in central Oregon and across the country. Mike died in a freakmotorcycle accident in Arizona, doing something he did often, helping out afriend. Of all the anecdotes, loving memories and bizarre tales (the guy hada rubber hotdog glued to his helmet), one succinct comment stood out, “He wasalways happy.” We should all hope to be remembered as always happy. You’ll bemissed Mike…
