Charge(s):
Your Honor,
I was previously arrested and charged with Criminal Threats and Failure to Identify by the Los Santos Police Department. I exercised my right to a trial and on July 10th, 2025, I was found innocent of all charges by this Honorable Court. The verdict was clear: the charges placed by the now-former detective were baseless.
Following my acquittal, I have been systematically denied the restoration of my rights and property by the Los Santos Police Department. My firearms license, which was suspended pending the outcome of the trial, remains suspended. My personal, legally-owned firearm, which was seized, has not been returned.
I have made multiple good-faith efforts to resolve this. I was instructed by the LSPD's Firearms Licensing Division (FLD) that I must submit a completely new application, as if I were a new applicant. This is an unacceptable and unlawful prerequisite, as my license should be reinstated, not re-applied for. The Commanding Officer of the FLD has personally denied my request for reinstatement.
Furthermore, I escalated this issue to the LSPD's Internal Affairs division nearly three weeks ago and have been met with complete silence. The LSPD is effectively stonewalling me, ignoring a verdict from this court, and unlawfully retaining my personal property. This amounts to theft under the color of law.
According to the Judicial Branch's own guidelines, "If the acquitted charge resulted in... the suspension of their firearms or vehicular license, the courts will pay out... $20,000 for a firearms license suspension." While this speaks to compensation, it firmly establishes the legal principle that a not-guilty verdict must result in the restoration of suspended licenses. The LSPD's refusal to do so is in direct contempt of the judicial process.
I am petitioning the court to issue an order compelling the LSPD to:
I, Rashood Jafaari, hereby affirm that all information provided above is true and correct to the best of my knowledge, and understand that knowingly providing false information could result in additional charges and/or fines. (( I affirm that all information submitted has been obtained via In-Character means. ))
Charge(s):
- This filing is a Motion to Enforce Verdict and Request for Sanctions related to my full acquittal on charges of GM13 - Criminal Threats & GM10 - Failure to Identify on July 10th, 2025.
- The new incident is the LSPD's refusal to return my property and reinstate my license, which constitutes a violation of my due process and a disregard for the court's verdict. Specifically, the actions of the LSPD's FLD should be investigated for:
- GF22 - Breach of Trust by the Commanding Officer of the FLD.
- GF09 - Embezzlement of my personal, legally owned firearm.
- GF25 - Felony Contempt of Court through willful disobedience to the legal outcome of my trial.

- Award the mandated $20,000 compensation for the wrongful and continued suspension of my firearms license post-acquittal.
I, Rashood Jafaari, hereby affirm that all information provided above is true and correct to the best of my knowledge, and understand that knowingly providing false information could result in additional charges and/or fines.
