Corruption Fircrest City Hall

1997-2025
Karen Lee Lawson 77 November 26, 1947 - December 18, 2024
January 14, 1997 _ Superior Court _ Final Discharge Hearing:
For two years (1995-1997) Department of Corrections refused to register me as a sex offender. The 1995 (Shinn) document to register as a sex offender bearing my signature is a forgery.
Probation Officer Gallegos,
"Your Honor it was a million-to-one fluke Mr. Collins was charged with this crime."
Judge Hogan did not require me to register as a sex offender.
Judge Hogan ... "Dan just get on with your life."
* Pierce County Sheriff Sex Offender Unit did not contest court decision.
August 21, 1997 _ Fircrest ceremonial mayor David M. Viafore without authority (Color of Law) in a personal vendetta, and [election year] secure votes in a five-block radius of my residence, to influence a city council vote (deny fraudulent Dog variance appeal and force me out of Fircrest) ignored superior court order and registered me through the backdoor as a Level I Sex Offender (for life).
Viafore, City Hall and neighbor’s civil rights and felony crimes committed against Karen Lawson and me forced us to file bankruptcy. City officials billed Karen Lawson for fraudulent clerical time.
Viafore and City Council continued to sanction civil rights and felony crimes until June 2019. During that period, no matter photos, surveillance video, physical evidence of crimes, Fircrest Police and Pierce County Sheriff always responded with the same comment "Dan it never happened."
Viafore harassment was again sanctioned beginning in November 2024.
Viafores' latest scheme was to conspire with Fircrest Police and Pierce County Sheriff Rgistered Sex Offender Unit ordering me to change my address to 1050 Claremont Court. Fircrest Police were aware of my location and that I was residing there during city hall (Viafore) ordered repairs to my residence thus leaving 1113 Paradise Parkway vacant/abandoned.
I moved back into my registered address effective June 30, 2025 and under constant Fircrest Police drive-by surveillance
(harassment) verifying I spend my nights at home. Are the police harassing level 2 & 3 registered sex offenders?
Phone repair found five lines [friends of city hall] on Paradise Parkway spliced into my residence line.
I reported this in an email to city hall, and informed Fircrest Police Department. No one was concerned.
July 2017 _ Dog emergency. Karen Lawsons' sister refused to house-sit.
From January 1997 - February 2025 (phone disconnected February 2025) someone has always had to be at home to reduce the risk of Viafore and City Council sanctioned vandalism and in this case - forced-entry, and burglary.
While we were both out of the house [five illegal wire-taps) an element supported by Fircrest Police to trash my office and steal a safe from my office kicked-in my door, terrorized my dogs.
Documents and other evidence of Viafore and City Council crimes [1997-2017] were not in the safe.
Fircrest Police Detective Deal had too many burglary details before I briefed him.
Traditionally, after Viafore and City Council sanctioned crimes targeting Karen Lawson and me, Police Chief Cheesman phoned to smooth-things-over.
With this burglary not a sound from Police Chief Cheesman. It is evident Police Chief Cheesman and Detective Deal participated in the burglary.

Karen was not emotionally wired to handle the constant stress, dread, anxiety, fear, threats of physical harm, death threats, property destruction, sanctioned by David M. Viafore, City Council, Planning Department, hostile and aggressive neighbors, and corrupt Fircrest Police Department under James Kenoyer and John Cheesman.
Tacoma News Tribune published a whistle blower article,
"Viafore has his tentacles through-out the entire police department."
Karen was forced under fraud of David M. Viafore and city council to give up three of her Dogs (three of our family) under fraudulent variance in belief I would go with the Dogs. There was no way I was going to leave Karen. She was terrified of aggressive neighbor Kenneth Walls.
Karen could not handle the constant stress and became a recluse. She was afraid to look out of front windows, afraid of what she would see. She would not go into the backyard, afraid pervert Kenneth Walls would peek at her over the fence. Afraid to leave the house to see a doctor when she was so ill,
Twenty-eight years of Viafore harassment (1997-2024).
Karen died a recluse December 18, 2024.
I hold David M. Viafore personally responsible for Karen's death.

Transcript from attorney notes:
Viafore, Police Chief Kenoyer, City Manager Richards, City Attorney Smith, Bill & Pam Hannon, Kristine & Kenneth Walls, and James Monroe boasted about what they had done to Karen Lawson and me.
City Attorney Smith boasted of "hiding evidence" of Lawson's dogs being grand-fathered.
Bill & Pam Hannon and Kristine & Kenneth Walls were particularly vicious, and angry because city officials promised registering (Color of Law - Without Legal Authority) me as a sex offender would guarantee I would go with the dogs.
Bill Hannon, "We believed that if we took away her dogs he would also go!"
Pam Hannon, "We believed what lives next door would go with the dogs!"
Kristine Walls, "For my husband Kenneth and me this has always been about property values!"
Kenneth Walls, "It was a done deal! We got sold down the river!"
Mayor Viafore, "Dan Collins is ninety percent of the problem! This will come before planning department again, and again!"
Police Chief Kenoyer, "If any of you have a problem with Collins, contact me on my cell phone and I'll handle Dan Collins personally!"
Kenoyer gave neighbors his cell phone number.
Attorney said because of the vicious content of conspirators he had concerns for my personal safety.

Viafore, City Council & Fircrest Police
Sanctioned Crimes - Illegal Wiretaps
January 1997 - 2019: Fircrest City Council & Police Department sanctioned and covered-up civil rights and felony crimes in efforts to force me to leave Fircrest.
Aggresive neighbors threw rocks, timber, and steel rods at windows and on top of house to start dogs barking, and phoned Viafore with Humane Society arriving to harass me.
Steel spikes were tossed onto to the front lawn so I would injure myself mowing the lawn.
Neighbors repeatedly knocked-down the mail box.
Neighbors kicked the garage door (leaving their footprints) to set dogs barking, and phoned Viafore with Humane Society arriving to harass me.
Neighbors repeatedly tore down No Trespassing signs.
Neighbors opened gate at night so dogs would get out. We found three of our dogs two blocks away.
Neighbor poisoned three of my dogs.
Neighbors pulled saplings out of the ground by their roots, and mowed-down flower beds.
Someone used a commercial highway grade pressure washer to remove top soil from front lawn.

Neighbors would "telegraph" a pending property destruction raid by going to the end of their driveways.
Karen Lawson and I were accosted on the street in front of our residence, and threatened with physical harm and death threats (1998-99 & 2003).
Regardless of physical evidence of property destruction, videos of crimes in progress, tape recorded confrontations with aggressive neighbors police always said ___ "Dan it never happened."
Paradise Parkway is heavily populated with City Hall employees and "friends" of City Hall.

................................
Through the use of five illegal wiretaps Fircrest Police under instructions from Council Member David Viafore burglarized Karen Lawsons' house to steal evidence of Viafores' criminal activities. This evidence was not in the ninety-nine pound safe his thieves stole.
