MOTION FOR ENTRY OF DEFAULT FOR FAILURE TO APPEAR, FAILURE TO PLEAD, AND FOR SETTING OF PROVE-UP HEARING ON MONETARY DAMAGES OR AND ALTERNATIVELY TRANSFER THIS MATTER TO THE LAW DIVISION

NOW COMES the Respondent, Joe Louis Lawrence, Counsel Pro se, and pursuant to 735 ILCS 5/2‑1301, Illinois Supreme Court Rules, and the inherent authority of this Court to regulate Domestic Relations proceedings, respectfully moves this Court to enter a DEFAULT against Respondent and set this matter for a PROVE‑UP HEARING on monetary damages. In support thereof, Respondent states as follows:

I.                                          PROCEDURAL HISTORY

1. This matter arises out of long‑standing Domestic Relations Case 1988 D 079012, in which Petitioner has repeatedly weaponized the judicial process, resulting in wrongful remands, fraudulent enforcement actions, and the deprivation of Respondent’s employment and liberty.

2. Petitioner served Certified Mail  at her last known address and States Attorney Kim Foxx, Chief Judge Timothy Calvin Evans, Gov. JB Pritzker, Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul  was properly served via Electronic delivery (email) with Respondent’s filings seeking damages, sanctions, and relief related to the wrongful enforcement actions.

3. Despite proper service, Petitioner and the State has failed to file an Appearance, failed to file any responsive pleading, and has wholly failed to participate in these proceedings.

         A- That Assistant States Attorneys are appearing before certain judges denying their involvement and is expecting that judge to frivolously prolong this matter in an attempt to wear down the Respondent.

          B- That the States Attorney never had legal jurisdiction to bring the Respondent before any court, he was never SERVED Notice of the State Reopening the 1985 D 068184 matter or they had enjoined with the 1988 D 079012 of which Respondent was never served in any matter. 

4. Respondent also filed a Motion for Summary Judgment (Dec 4, 2023) and a Motion for Default (Feb 9, 2024) Seeking Monetary Damages $50 Million Dollars, and Petitioner has again failed to respond and the Assistant States Attorneys tried deleting their representation of her and failed to Deny, Object to any of Respondent’s Pleadings accompanied with Affidavits.

5. Petitioner’s refusal to answer is not inadvertent. Her past conduct in this case—combined with her status as a former Chicago Police Officer and her proven ability to influence judicial actors engaging in Fraud and have the Assistant States Attorneys to unlawfully represent her on a case that was dismissed September 17, 1987 (case 85 D 068184) refiled in 1988 never served and a Default Order Entered May 18, 1988 never Vacated or Ordered any Child Support—shows a willful and strategic refusal to participate to avoid accountability for her actions with the States Attorney as case 2008 CH 33616 was illegally Foreclosed Upon and Covered -up, Evicting them of 64 years from their home; Case 2020 D 079452 have not seen or spoken to her daughter since May 19, 2025, due to systemic fraud and void court orders of Order of Protection

Fraud admissibility great latitude is permitted in proving fraud C.J.S. Fraud 104 ET Seg. Fraud 51-57. Vigus V. O’Bannon, 1886 8 N.E 788, 118 ILL 334. Hazelton V. Carolus, 1907 132 ILL. App. 512.

II.           BACKGROUND OF WRONGFUL REMANDS AND DAMAGES

6. Between the years following the child support case and the continuing enforcement actions, Petitioner was wrongfully remanded to custody at least five (5) times based on fraudulent, fabricated, or improperly issued warrants for alleged child support arrears.

7. One such warrant was issued by a former CTA attorney (Ronald Bartkowicz) who, after becoming a judge in this Court, improperly exercised judicial authority in a manner inconsistent with due process and in direct conflict with his past professional relationship to Respondent’s employer (CTA)..

8. As a direct result of these wrongful remands and the abusive misuse of Domestic Relations enforcement tools, Respondent was forced off his employment at the Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) on or about December 1, 1994 and never allowed to be reinstated as Ken Stephen Ray Attorney with the CTA conspired with Michael Simmons of Local 241 Secretary who were in an alleged intimate physical relationship never addressed said Grievance of Dec 1, 1994.

9. Petitioner suffered severe financial, professional, emotional, and constitutional harm as a result of Petitioner’s and the assortment of actors engaging in misconduct and her misuse of police and judicial influence.

10. The damages arising from the above exceed $50,000,000, and Respondent has submitted an Affidavit of Damages detailing the basis for this monetary figure.

III. PETITIONER’S FAILURE TO APPEAR WITH STATES ATTORNEY REPRESENTING HER  REQUIRES ENTRY OF DEFAULT

11. Petitioner is being represented by the States Attorney unlawfully and has failed to file any  responsive pleading after being duly served.

12. Under Illinois law, where a Petitioner has been properly served and fails to appear or respond, default is mandatory for purposes of proceeding to judgment.

13. Summary judgment is unnecessary where the Petitioner and her States Attorneys represented her has wholly failed to participate; instead, the Court should enter default and permit a prove-up of damages.

14. Respondent has complied with all notice requirements and has kept the Court and Entire Judicial Body including Chief Judge Timothy Calvin Evans, Governor JB Pritzker, Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul, and Former States Attorney Kim Foxx and Present States Attorney Eileen O’Neil Burke apprised of each filing.

 COURT DATE FOR THE ABOVE MATTERS WAS SCHEDULED FOR DEC 31ST, 2025 VIA ZOOM AT 9:30AM


DEC 19, 2025 DATABASE REFLECTS THE COURT DATE HAS BEEN STRICKEN 


 

Chicago arrest of state representative with legal CCW permit raises serious questions

By Kevin Richardson,

12 hours ago

It starts the way so many stories in Chicago start – blue lights, a routine stop, and a citizen trying to do everything “right” to get home. In her video, gun rights YouTuber Liberty Doll says the difference this time is the person in cuffs wasn’t just any gun owner, but a sitting state representative with a valid concealed carry license.

Liberty Doll tells viewers she’d already covered two similar Chicago cases involving licensed Black gun owners who were still arrested on felony gun charges.

Now, she says, a CBS News investigation claims it’s not a fluke at all, but a pattern—dozens of cases where people who followed Illinois’ strict rules still got treated like criminals.

If a lawful gun owner can be arrested anyway, the system itself becomes the threat.

A Broken Tail Light And A Loaded Question

Liberty Doll identifies the state representative as Curtis Tarver II, and she says this incident began on the South Side around 8:30 p.m. in November 2019. The reason for the stop, Tarver’s account says, was a broken tail light.

According to Liberty Doll, bodycam footage backs up Tarver’s claim that officers quickly jumped to the firearm question: Do you have a gun in the car, and do you have a license? That’s not a small detail, because it shows how fast a minor equipment stop can turn into a high-stakes encounter.

Tarver, as Liberty Doll recounts it, complied. He handed over the firearm and presented his credentials – his licenses – because he wanted to see his daughter again.

When Liberty Doll describes Tarver’s explanation, it’s clear he wasn’t being dramatic; he was being careful. Tarver says he was uneasy about physically handing an officer a firearm during a traffic stop, so he suggested they shine a light in and retrieve it themselves.

Tarver says the officer insisted Tarver hand it over, which made the situation more tense. So Tarver says he removed the magazine, oriented the gun with the trigger facing the officer and the barrel facing himself, and tried to make the exchange as controlled as possible.

Liberty Doll emphasizes Tarver’s reasoning in plain terms: he says he disclosed partly because Illinois requires disclosure if asked. But Tarver also says something darker – he disclosed because he’s a Black man on the South Side, and he believed not disclosing could end with him not making it home.

That line lands like a brick. Even if someone disagrees with him, it shows how “lawful compliance” can feel less like civic duty and more like survival math.

“Everything Seems To Be In Order”… Until It Isn’t

Liberty Doll points out that the officers initially looked at Tarver’s licenses and even said, on camera, that everything appeared fine. In any normal universe, that should’ve been the end of it.

Then, Liberty Doll says, came the familiar pivot she also saw in the earlier cases she covered. Officers claimed Tarver’s concealed carry license wasn’t in the LEADS database, and therefore it must be revoked.

Tarver, as Liberty Doll recounts it, said he had just renewed the license and had already confirmed with state police that he was in good standing. He even offered to call state police on the spot again to clear it up.

Liberty Doll says the officers refused that offer. Instead, they told him they were going to bring everything to the station and “figure it out there.”

That “figure it out later” mindset is where lawful gun ownership starts to look like a trap. If the state tells you to get licensed, you jump through the hoops, and police can still override your paperwork because a computer says so, then the license becomes a decoration—not protection.

Liberty Doll also notes the escalation: more police arrived until there were six squad cars, something she says is visible on the bodycam footage. Tarver was handcuffed and arrested for felony gun possession.

And then comes the part that feels like a bad joke. Liberty Doll says once officers realized who Tarver was, the case shifted and he ended up charged only with a misdemeanor for not having a “valid” concealed carry permit – rather than the felony.

If the evidence was real, why downgrade it just because his name carries political weight? Liberty Doll doesn’t have to say it outright; the implication hangs in the air.

Seven Hours On A Bench And A Mugshot That Never Left

Liberty Doll describes what happened next as telling on its own. Tarver says he was taken to the precinct, handcuffed to a bench for nearly seven hours, and denied a phone call and even bathroom access until police figured out he was a lawmaker and a lawyer.

Even if someone tries to shrug that off as “protocol,” it’s hard to ignore what it communicates: the process is the punishment. Liberty Doll says the case was eventually dismissed for insufficient evidence, but that it took nine months.

The damage didn’t disappear with the dismissal. Liberty Doll says Tarver’s mugshot remained in the system, and a political opponent later posted it online, calling him a criminal.

Worse, she says Tarver gave up his gun to Chicago police permanently as part of the case being dropped. Liberty Doll also relays Chicago PD’s position: CPD allegedly said guns seized during “legitimate arrests” are never returned.

But Liberty Doll pushes back on that language. She argues this arrest wasn’t legitimate, and she names the other cases – Lucy Washington and McWilliams – as examples of legal gun owners who were still treated like contraband carriers.

Liberty Doll adds one detail that should make any lawful gun owner’s jaw tighten: she says Washington even has a court order requiring police to return her firearm, yet CPD still hasn’t.

At that point, this stops being a debate about paperwork. It becomes a question of whether court orders mean anything when they’re inconvenient.

Liberty Doll says Tarver has now filed a lawsuit, and she highlights his reasoning: what if he wasn’t a lawyer? What if he wasn’t a state rep? What if he didn’t know how to push back?

That’s the nightmare fuel in this story. If a person with status and education still got pulled into the gears, the average person is basically raw material.

CBS Claims A Pattern And A Profit Motive

Liberty Doll says CBS found dozens of similar cases and featured an anonymous source described as a veteran Chicago police officer. According to Liberty Doll’s retelling, this source claimed minorities – especially on the South Side – are targeted because it’s assumed they won’t have the money to fight the charges.

In the CBS segment Liberty Doll quotes, the anonymous police insider talks about incentives: high firearm “recovery” numbers get attention from supervisors, which can lead to promotions and better pay. The source also suggests officers may assume North Side residents are more affluent and more likely to come back with lawyers.

The anonymous source reportedly shrugs it off with a logic that should alarm anyone who believes in civil rights: if the arrest was wrong, it’ll get thrown out, “no harm, no foul.”

Liberty Doll doesn’t let that stand. She calls it harm, she calls it foul, and she’s right to do it.

Because even a dismissed case can wreck a job, wreck a reputation, and wreck a person’s mental health. And if your gun gets kept no matter what, the “thrown out later” argument starts to sound like a convenient excuse to justify sloppy or aggressive policing.

Liberty Doll then asks a chilling question that hangs over the entire CBS dataset: if CBS only found these cases because some people fought back in court, how many more never made it to court because the person couldn’t afford the fight?

She says neither CPD nor the county state’s attorney tracks this kind of information, and that Chicago police refused to comment. That silence matters, because it means the public can’t even measure the scope of the damage.

Liberty Doll also says CBS obtained, via Freedom of Information request, a list of about 52,000 guns Chicago police labeled “illegal” since 2019. But she stresses that list included guns from Washington, McWilliams, and Tarver – guns Liberty Doll says were not illegal firearms at all.

Once you realize that, the list stops being a “crime stat” and starts looking like a credibility problem. If lawful guns are getting counted as illegal seizures, then the public debate is being built on numbers that may be inflated by mistakes – or worse.

Liberty Doll closes with a quote she says CBS aired from David Harris, a police law expert: “Shouldn’t be arresting people who are obeying the law. Period. Full stop.” The expert warns that punishing lawful compliance trains people to stop complying, because they’ll eventually ask, “Why am I bothering?”

That’s the part that should worry everybody, including people who don’t like guns. Laws only work when people believe the law is real, predictable, and fair.

When the rules get so twisted that lawful behavior can still get you cuffed, booked, and separated from your property forever, the law starts to feel like a dare instead of a guide.

And Liberty Doll’s bigger point is hard to escape: Chicago can’t claim it wants lawful gun ownership while repeatedly treating lawful gun owners like easy arrests.

If a valid license can turn into a felony charge because a database doesn’t update on time – or because an officer chooses not to verify – then the “system” isn’t just failing. It’s creating the very distrust it complains about later.
