Amherst County Sheriff shuts down Sam Sloan's websites
samsloan
Today, April 3, 2008, the Sheriff of Amherst County Virginia finally
succeeded in shutting down Sam Sloan's websites. The following
websites were closed down on orders of Deputy C. R. Smith of the
Amherst County Sheriff's Department:
As you will see, those websites are now closed. Prior to today, those
websites combined attracted more than 100,000 hits and more than
20,000 viewers per day.
Also closed down today are Sam Sloan's email addresses of
sams...@samsloan.com and sl...@ishipress.com .
The Amherst Country Sheriff's Department was able to accomplish by
complaining to the ISPs that Sam Sloan was harassing the Sheriff by
complaining that his daughter, Shamema Honzagool Sloan, then aged 8,
had been kidnapped from Fujairah, United Arab Emirates and brought to
Amherst County Virginia with the connivance of the Amherst County
Sheriff and that the Amherst County Sheriff was a conspirator in the
kidnapping of his daughter.
In addition, Sloan accused the Sheriff of Amherst County of harboring
a fugitive by allowing the kidnapper to stay in Amherst County and not
arresting him for the crime of kidnapping of which he is obviously
guilty.
These statements had been on Sloan's website continuously since 1996
when indeed these web sites were established for the primary of
publicizing the kidnapping of Sloan's eight-year-old daughter. The
Amherst County Sheriff was also irked by a "Wanted Poster" originating
from the United Arab Emirates with a photograph of one of the
kidnappers, who is wanted and has been convicted in absentia of
kidnapping Sloan's 8-year-old daughter.

Yes, when you make untruthful allegations against public officials you
can't rely on your status as a vagrant / hobo / bum to save you from
any consequences.
I am glad that the Sheriff's Dept. responded to our communications. They
were one of many who've been contacted by us, alerted to your libels and
informed how to get your craps pulled down by your ISP. Did they use our
complaint draft? I've emailed you a sample, but then I bet your email no
longer works, does it? ;%)
Don't bother setting up replacement sites with other ISPs. Now we've
demonstrated to all concerned how easy it is to get the plug pulled by
the ISP, you can expect a regular stream of complaints every time you
try to resurrect it. We're watching you, http://www.samsloanwatch.com

At 03:58 PM 2/25/2008 -0700,
Dear Mr. Sloan and Ms. Davidson,
We have received a complaint from the Amherst County Sherriff's Office
that one of your webpages is in violation of law. The webpage
indicated in the complaint sent to us is in violation of Section
18.2-186.4 of the Code of Virginia (see attached).

I replied on Monday, February 25, 2008 5:49 PM:
Dear Sirs:
The person depicted in the picture is a convicted criminal. He has
been convicted of kidnapping an eight year old child.
This person is not and has never been a police officer or a law
enforcement officer of any kind.
Accordingly, publication of information about this person is necessary
for the protection of the general public.
Sam Sloan
Dear Mr. Sloan,
As a service provider, we can neither evaluate, arbitrate nor provide
advice relating to potential legal disputes.
The complaint that we received came from an Investigator C. P. Smith
at the Amherst County Sherriff's Office in Amherst, Virginia. We
recommend that you contact him regarding any questions that you have.
If we receive a communication from Investigator Smith indicating that
the page you reference below is not, in fact, in violation of any law,
we would be happy to re-place it on the website. However, absent that
communication, the pages in question below will be removed from your
site at 2:30pm MST today.
Thank you,
Verio Legal
The above notice only mentioned one page of my website. That one page
was taken down.
However, soon they noticed another page that said much the same thing.
That was taken down too.
Finally, after finding a third page that mentioned the kidnapping of
my 8-year-old daughter with the connivance of the Sheriff's Department
of Amherst County, they took down all of my websites, all 3,000 pages
of each site.
This happened yesterday.

Why didn't the Amherst County Sheriff arrest and prosecute
the person who supposedly violated that statute instead of
wrting letters to the innocent ISP???
Do the Amherst County law enforcement officials just write
letters to ISPs asking them to remove child porn photos rather
than arresting and prosecuting the person who posted the child
pornography?
Something does not make sense here.
Where is free speech when only authorized and approved truths
about public employees may be posted on the internet without
fear of prosecution and of it being removed as harrassment?
Free speech does not require that the speaker be correct or
truthful or sane or even coherent. It used to be insane to
argue that minorities and women deserve the same legal
rights as white men.
Since when can public officials complain about harrassment?
Could Former-Senator Allen complain about all the websites
calling him a racist and call them harrassment and ask for
them to be removed?
It was curious that one troll here was happy that trolls
could be removed so easily.
It is possible and necessary to support freedom of speech
without supporting the specific content of that free speech.

Actually, the Amherst County Sheriff's Department is threatening and
harassing my ISP. The ISP did nothing wrong. They are caught in the
middle.
The Amherst County Sheriff's Department has never contacted me about
this, although they know my telephone number. Instead they threaten my
ISP.
Is not what the Amherst County Sheriff is doing a crime?

Thank you, but the problem is that the Amherst County Sheriff can then
write my next ISP and then the one after that and keep shutting them
down.
Already, he has shut down three different websites simultaneously. All
three of them were essentially unchanged since 1998.
How long will he keep doing this?
Thank you again for your letter and your suggestions.

Does this mean that I am entitled to treat this as an April Fools

I can do more than merely sue the ISP. I can sue the Sheriff of
Amherst County Virginia for covering up the kidnapping of my 8-year-
old daughter, which is what this is all about. They have a new Sheriff
in Amherst County. The new sheriff probably does not realize that the
old sheriff really was guilty of kidnapping my daughter.

had my websites shut down because of "blatantly false claims aimed at
causing personal damage". This is not true. The Sheriff had my
websites shut down by complaining to my ISPs that my website contained
personally identifiable information about the Sheriff of Amherst
County in that it stated that the Sheriff of Amherst County was guilty
of involvement in the kidnapping of my 8-year-old daughter.
The Sheriff of Amherst County said that my website violated Section
18.2-186.4 of the Code of Virginia.
Take a look at what that section actually says:
http://leg1.state.va.us/cgi-bin/legp504.exe?000+cod+18.2-186.4
"It shall be unlawful for any person, with the intent to coerce,
intimidate, or harass another person, to publish the person's name or
photograph along with identifying information as defined in clauses
(iii) through (ix), or clause (xii) of subsection C of § 18.2-186.3,
including identification of the person's primary residence address.
Any person who violates this section is guilty of a Class 1
misdemeanor.
"Any person who violates this section knowing or having reason to know
that person is a law-enforcement officer, as defined in § 9.1-101, is
guilty of a Class 6 felony. The sentence shall include a mandatory
minimum term of confinement of six months."
This provision of law clearly states that any reporter of the New York
Times or the newspaper itself could be sentenced to six months in
prison for publishing any identifying information about any law
enforcement officer in Virginia.
I think the New York Times should come to my defense in this case.

Mirror sites sprung up all over the world. All he did was intensify
publicity for Wikileaks and cause the hits to quadruple.
Google it up and you should be able to find an ISP somewhere which
will publish your pages. Also contact ACLU.
In my personal opinion the Virginia statute either does not apply or
it is unconstitutional, AND the sheriff has no business exercising
prior restraint on internet content. Furthermore, a Virginia sheriff
has no jurisdiction outside of his state.
Finally, your ISP is a knock-kneed sissy wuss for allowing itself to
be intimidated by some pot-bellied podunk tinhorn.
I remember seeing that website several months ago. I didn't see
anything on it that could conceivably called illegal. I might
consider you a kook, but still don't believe your website should be
censored.

complained about that caused Verio to shut down all my websites were
the following:
http://www.ishipress.com/clinton.htm
http://www.ishipress.com/wanted.htm
http://www.ishipress.com/shelby.htm
All three of those pages have been up, unchanged, since 1996. The top
one is a letter I wrote to President Clinton dated July 17, 1996.
I do not see the point in running around trying to hide from the
Sheriff of Amherst County, hoping that he will not find my next site.
My current plan of action is to file suit against the sheriff.
However, this will require a $350 filing fee and I will have to come
up with the money.
What he has done is solve my statute of limitations problem. My
Pakistani daughter was kidnapped in the United Arab Emirates with the
help of the Sheriff of Amherst County Virginia on October 5, 1990. Now
I can demonstrate that this removal of all of my websites is part of
an ongoing conspiracy continuing from 1990 to the present to cover-up
this crime.

While I am not fond of your moral character I am opposed
to censorship in virtually any form. So to state what really
should be fairly obvious - don't use a US based host next
time. I believe that you can find a foreign host that will be
ammused at best by contact by local authorities in VA.
Also, if you are so foolish as to not have backup copies
of you sites you may want to makes copies from the
Google cache soon.
You may also want to consider a careful evaluation of
the content on your sites that many people find to be
pointlessly offensive!

I have not checked out and have no questions concerning the statements you
made above. This is an academic answer, so I accept your statements as true
without inquiry.
ISP's sometimes shut down websites on the basis of complaints. The
complaint that have this effect can come from any person. The reason, I
suppose, is that it is expensive to investigate and expensive to lose a
lawsuit for copyright infringement or whatever. So they shut down websites
on the flimsy complaints. I say "sometimes" because I don't know whether
this practice is widespread, rare or in-between.
Therefore, it is not surprising that your websites were shut down. However,
it is surprising that the complaint came from the sheriff. That opens the
door for a lawsuit against the sheriff for harassment. A sheriff with good
legal advice would not have done that. That's why I mentioned that I accept
your statements at face value. No offense meant, I'm just saying that the
facts as stated are not the sort that should be taken at face value except
for purposes of drafting an academic answer.
So what to do. I suggest you take these facts to a civil litigation
attorney experienced in actions against police departments in Virginia.
There is a possibility that this could be a contingency fee case. I
recommend that you not try to handle this as an in-pro-per plaintiff.
This answer must not be relied on as legal advice for the reasons posted
here: http://mcgyverdisclaimer.blogspot.com . And I am not your attorney.
