I am not a lawyer and this is not legal advise.I believe the Carol Rhodes may be stating that she witnessed the Michigan Courtsand Friend of the Court engage in criminal racketeering.She said:"And the judges are definitely benefiting by larger child support collections"..."When we had individuals that knew their constitutional rightsthat were coming into the courtroom the agency would warn the judge and say'we have a father's rights advocate coming in today, a father's right'sindividual.They might be dangerous. I think we might need a few more deputies in thecourtroom.'""And so just at that alone the judge would be alerted that this is an individualthatwe are going to vent the full power and vengeance of the law on this individualwho dares to challengeour authority.""And as Dr. Sanjari said, often times those who stand up for their constitutionalrightscompletely taken from them. They loose all parental rights. They don't see theirchildrensometimes for 20 years."- Carol Rhodes, Former Friend of the Court Collections Officer, and author of"Friend of the Court Enemy of the Family", speaking on "Ronald Smith's Radio Show:Dr. Baskerville, Dr. Sanjari & Carol Rhodes",starting at time 19:00, Oct 28, 2007,http://daddy.typepad.com/daddyblog/2007/10/ronald-smiths-r.htmlMaking a custody decision based on punishing people, rather than the bestinterests of the child, and permanently separating a parent and a child, may bekidnapping.And kidnapping for money, or conspiring to kidnap for money, is racketeering.Also, in theory creating an unjust child support burden, the consequence of whichis an unjust imprisonment for the payer, could also be kidnapping.From US Code TITLE 18 > PART I > CHAPTER 95 > § 1959:(a) Whoever, as consideration for the receipt of, or as consideration for apromise or agreement to pay, anything of pecuniary value from an enterpriseengaged in racketeering activity, or for the purpose of gaining entrance to ormaintaining or increasing position in an enterprise engaged in racketeeringactivity, murders, kidnaps, maims, assaults with a dangerous weapon, commitsassault resulting in serious bodily injury upon, or threatens to commit a crime ofviolence against any individual in violation of the laws of any State or theUnited States, or attempts or conspires so to do, shall be punished—(1) for murder, by death or life imprisonment, or a fine under this title, orboth; and for kidnapping, by imprisonment for any term of years or for life, or afine under this title, or both;
