Just a usual day that requires an Affidavit

Affidavit

Regarding actions taken and out of pocket expenses in the attempt to obtain an Oklahoma Driver License.

The Kansas issued car tag on my 2000 Buick LeSabre expires at the end of April 2014.  In the attempt to get an Oklahoma car tag I drove to Arcadia, OK where I was told by an employee of WalMart there was a full service tag office that could issue an Oklahoma Driver License and Oklahoma tag.

Upon arrival at the Arcadia office, the examiner ask me if I had been “put in to  the system” because of having a Kansas Driver License.  I answered no.  I was given the instructions to drive back to Edmond, be placed in the system and return to the Arcadia office.  The Arcadia office was chosen because there was usually no waiting line.

In Edmond the Examiner assigned to me was K. Bruner 2421.  I had an application sheet to fill out.  On the application sheet I circled the words mental illness and wrote the diagnosis of bipolar on the right hand side of the form.

The sentence on the form stated mental illness along with many other options, such as Diabetes, Epilepsy, Blackouts, fainting spells, heart disease among many other conditions.  It also asked are you now receiving treatment for any type of mental health disorder; or do you have any other of medical condition which may affect your ability to safely operate a motor vehicle.

I take medications for my mental health disorder, considering it to be a treatment.  I answered the question Yes.  I went back and reread the question seeing that the statement was intended for the ability to safely operate a motor vehicle, not the fact I was taking medication for my mental health disorder.  I made comment of such, drew a line through the word yes followed by an angled line which I signed my initials and below the line wrote the word no.

The examiner stated that my correction did not matter as I revealed I had a mental illness.  She then took another form that had boxes for the names of the medication, dosage and prescribed taking of the medication.  I told her the names, stating for some I would be giving brand names and others generic names and did not know the correct spelling of some.


Examiner Bruner stated she was quite familiar with psychotropic medications and she could spell them sufficiently.  I stated she must do many of these applications.  She stated no, but her son was suffering from mental illness.  It was very frustrating to her.  I asked if she knew about NAMI.  She did not.  I gave her my NAMI volunteer business card, explained what NAMI was, the programs offered in Edmond and the contact information for such.  She thanked me and put my card in to her right front pocket.  

Examiner Bruner stated she would need to print a number of forms.  She used the printer that was against the wall in the center of the workplace for all DPS employees.  It took quite awhile for the printer to warm up and start printing.  A second examiner went over to ask her what she was trying to print.  Examiner Bruner stated it was the Mental Health Evaluation Forms in a voice that was heard by everyone in the room.  I was humiliated by the traditional looks and stares of stigma by those I saw looking at me.

I was handed the sheets of paper.  I started to browse through them.  She reprehended me saying these papers were not for my reading but for my doctor.  She instructed me to have my doctor fill out the forms and hand deliver them to their office at 36th and Martin Luther King.  The forms said to be mailed to the DPS.  She verbally instructed me to hand deliver the form on a Wednesday as that was the scheduled day for their doctor to be in the office.  I was told to have a nice day and I left the building.

I proceeded to my doctor’s office and left the evaluation at the front desk.  Later, I received a call from my doctor’s office stating he had never seen such a form and did not feel comfortable in filling out the form.  He would refer me to someone who would be more appropriated than he.

I was able to get in touch with the referred psychologist.  In speaking with him, he was unaware of such a Mental Health Evaluation.  I faxed him the forms.  Later, I received a call from him stating he had never seen such a form and would refer me to an associate of his.  Time was ticking away to meet the April 30, 2014 deadline.

Later, I received a call from the referred psychologist stating he could not find anyone who would do the evaluation.  Because of my deadline, he offered me his help based upon two conditions, allow for a complete psychiatric evaluation consisting of 5 hours of my time plus paying my share of costs up front based upon Medicare’s 2013 coinsurance rate of 65%.  I informed him that Medicare had completed their implementation schedule of parity as of 2014.  Since this issue was a dispute, I immediately wrote him a good faith check deposit of $100.00 so we could proceed.  The 5 hours of clinical and computer testing were completed.  Mental Illness stigma questioned him.  I had given him a complementary copy of my book, explained my advocacy efforts and volunteer time.  He stated if he had known these things beforehand his complete analysis would have been different.  As he knew me not, the intent of giving him my book was for the purpose of getting to know me in a short period of time.  I asked for the evaluation forms so I could hand deliver them as instructed by Examiner Bruner.  He had doubt in doing so as the form stated to be mailed in by him.  He had the courtesy of making a copy so I could do what I was instructed to do.  The DPS would be receiving 2 copies of an identical evaluation.

I drove from Edmond to 36th and MLK to hand deliver the forms.  I was denied in seeing or talking with Debra Simms, the contact person I was given by Jeff Dismukes, OKDMHSAS.  The forms were given to a person named Carol who worked in office 3 and refused to give me her last name and telephone number.

I took it upon myself to call Debra Simms on the number given to me by Mr. Dismukes.  Ms. Simms and I discussed that I had hand delivered the forms to a person named Carol five minutes ago.  Ms. Simms informed me she would not be receiving the forms until the following week.  Upon my inquiries, I was told Ms. Simms was the only person processing the forms, there were 6,000 ahead of me and her timeframe for processing mine would be whenever she chose to process it.

With only a few days remaining until the end of April, I had no other recourse than to move my residence back to Kansas.  Again, additional costs were incurred for rent and purchasing Kansas insurance to go along with the current insurance that I have.  The situation is costing me more money every month.

Having the perks in Kansas of a private swimming pool, hot tub, exercise room and private theatre room I would still prefer to live in Edmond to be close to my granddaughter, a fishing license to take her family fishing and the ability to register to vote in Oklahoma.  These things appear to be gloomy at this time.

After I returned from a speaking engagement in North Carolina, I had a letter addressed to my previous Edmond address from the Department of Public Safety.  The envelope included my application with a letter stating my doctor did not describe my medication.  It stated I was responsible for getting my doctor to do so.  I don’t know why my application and included letter was my responsibility for two reasons; it is the Doctor’s responsibility to complete the form and I had previously stated my medication to the examiner who was going to fax the information from Edmond to Oklahoma City.

I returned to the Edmond DPS, asking for a copy of the original paperwork.  He returned with one sheet that was a compilation of certain areas of the original paperwork.  The examiner stated they did not keep a copy of the original paperwork.  The sheet of paper faxed to OKC was copied and pasted from the original paperwork.

Inspecting the form, I saw where my response, corrected to say No had been altered.  The change is obvious to me.  The page is fraudulent.

I took a picture of the form, zoomed in on the area in question and took a third picture which shows what was altered. 

It is my testimony that the full line drawn through the word has been changed. My initials have been removed which was above what appears to look like a tail to the letter S.  The word NO has been removed which was under and to the right of what appears to look like a tail to the letter S.  I never make a tail on the letters S.  I am left handed whereby I never swing the letter S as shown.  Other S's show how I print an uppercase S. You can also inspect the letter Y.  The letter E has also been altered.  Also the underline under the words mental health disorder is extremely questionable as I don’t recall doing such.   When instructed to circle an item, I put a circle around the words Mental Illness.  You will see on the form Mental Illness has been removed from the list of conditions.

I claim the paper is a counterfeit and I am being coerced in to a confession that is false.

I believe it is necessary to have the falsified paper reviewed by an attorney.  If the advice is to prosecute, I will willingly ask for prosecution steps to be taken and ask for the out of pocket expenses that I will be responsible for paying.  I will petition for at least the following; discrimination, violation of my civil rights, a falsified report sent to DPS in OKC and the most serious type of a coerced false confession in revealing my mental illness.

Yes, just a normal day for me.


Written and Submitted in to evidence by Randall C. Conyers, dated the 14th day of May.
