Fuina Puts Brookhaven on Notice, Press Conference Announced
April 2, 2008
(Patchogue, N.Y.) – Falsely accused illegal landlord and Police Detective Paul Fuina will be in Suffolk County Sixth District Court again on April 3 at 10 a.m. to answer the trumped up charges, and he will hold a press conference in the courtyard to explain his anger over the violation of his constitutional rights by the Town of Brookhaven and to explain why he has taken the first step toward suing the town, the assistant town attorney, and other town officials.
Assistant Brookhaven Town Attorney Raymond Negron has decided that he does not have to respect the constitutional rights of members of the police force because he can use the police department to put the squeeze on them. He also figures that by accusing law enforcers of lawbreaking, he will cause them such embarrassment that they will do whatever they can to make the story go away.
But Negron has made a severe miscalculation in the case of Fuina.
Fuina knows that he has done nothing wrong, so he has joined a civil rights organization, The Coalition of Landlords, Homeowners & Merchants, Inc., which is helping him fight back. He has served Brookhaven and Negron with a notice of claim, which is the first step in filing a lawsuit against a municipality.
The notice of claim accuses Brookhaven, Negron, Town Supervisor Brian Foley, and the town board of conspiring to violate Fuina’s constitutional due process rights, overstepping the bounds created in Brookhaven’s own town code, making calls to Fuina’s police department to make false statements in order to embarrass him, making false statements to the media about facts and the law, malicious prosecution, perjury, abuse of office, abuse of power, and theft of Fuina’s bank records.
One of the false statements made by Negron is that Fuina owns the allegedly illegal rentals. As Negron has been informed, Fuina does not own the property. He is only being accused of owning the property because he is a police detective and is, therefore, vulnerable.
Fuina has already been dragged into court in the past over similar charges, about the same property. In that case, Suffolk Sixth District Court Judge G. Ann Spelman dismissed the charges because they were based on false statements made by Town Inspector Robert Incagliato. Now, Brookhaven officials are attempting to punish Fuina for standing up to them by attacking his standing as a police detective. Spearheaded by Negron, this has been Brookhaven’s recent tactic with members of law enforcement agencies.
But Fuina is up to the task of standing up for the rights of the police. It is bad enough that the police have to put their lives on the line to protect the people; it is asking too much for them to also have to put their constitutional rights on the line. If Negron’s unconstitutional activities are allowed to continue unchallenged, the result would be that people will be shy of joining or remaining on the police force. Obviously, that would be a tragedy.
On Thursday, April 3, at 10 a.m., Fuina will be in Suffolk County’s Sixth District Court, 150 West Main Street, Patchogue, New York, to defend himself against Brookhaven’s frivolous charges, and The Coalition of Landlords, Homeowners & Merchants, Inc. will be there to hold a press conference on Brookhaven’s mistreatment of members of Long Island’s police forces.
The Coalition of Landlords, Homeowners and Merchants, Inc. is the premier civil and property rights organization on Long Island. It is dedicated to fighting for the preservation of constitutional principles and property rights.
Date of Press Conference: Thursday, April 3 at 10 a.m.
Place of Press Conference: Suffolk County 6th District Court

Got something to say?
Please go to the window at the 6th District Court and ask to see any/all landlord/tenant court files in the name of Paul Fuina v. anyone. Among the several files you will be handed, pick out the ones that pertain to 49 Parkwood Drive, mastic. Therein, the very first pleading is “I, Paul Fuina, am the OWNER and landlord of 49 Parkside Dr., Mastic.” If he doesn’t own the house, why does he swear to the Court that he does?
