Rose Township Supervisor Chester Koop Thinks He Can Walk Into Your Backyard

The picture shown above was taken after the Rose Township Supervisor Chester Koop had trespassed into the backyard of a Rose Township resident.

In 1994 the Michigan Township Association (MTA) issued an article that stated that NO Township Official could trespass upon private property without implied or expressed consent of the property owner, or a written search warrant by court order.

Through several Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests it was found that the Rose Township Supervisor Chester Koop illegally trespassed without implied or expressed consent of the property owner, or without a written court ordered search warrant or adminstrative warrant.

The Rose Township Supervisor Chester Koop completely ignored not one (1), but three (3) No Trespassing signs on the Rose Township resident's property in an attempt to take pictures and illegally search for evidence the Township of Rose does not possess.

The picture above clearly shows the Rose Township Supervisor Chester Koop with a camera hanging around his neck. A Michigan District Court Judge issued an order restraining the Rose Township Supervisor Chester Koop from taking any pictures on the Rose Township property.

The Rose Township property owner believed the Rose Township Supervisor Chester Koop was in his backyard and on his property in violation of the Four (4^th) Amendment of the United States Constitution, the protected right of privacy, and to be free from illegal Search of property without a warrant.

The Rose Township Supervisor Chester Koop did NOT produce a search warrant to the Rose Township resident.

The Rose Township property owner (after consulting with his attorney) told the Rose Township Supervisor Chester Koop to leave his property because he did not have authorization from a court of law to be on his property.

The Rose Township Supervisor Chester Koop refused to leave the Rose Township citizen’s property.

The Michigan State Police Officer was called and immediately dispatched to the citizen’s home.

It was only after the Michigan State Police Trooper arrived at the scene did the Rose Township Supervisor Chester Koop reluctantly agree to voluntarily remove himself from the property.

The incumbent Rose Township Supervisor Chester Koop has been re-elected for four more years what makes you believe that he will not be snooping around in your own backyard with a camera? PROTECT YOUR RIGHTS.

Chester Koop was quoted in the newspaper as "The most critical issue facing our community is the preservation and protection of the township's rural character, open spaces and groundwater resources." Source - 2004 ELECTION TRI-COUNTY TIMES SUNDAY OCTOBER 31, 2004 PAGE 11.

It has been alleged that the Rose Township Clerk may be polluting the Ground Water on her OWN property, and the Rose Township Constable will do nothing to resolve the alleged problem. Stuff is going on in Rose Township under the Supervisor's nose, and he does not even know what is going on, or does he?

ROSE TOWNSHIP RESIDENT TO FILE ASSAULT AND BATTERY CHARGES AGAINST CHESTER KOOP

A Rose Township Resident and his young son went to the Township Park when they were confronted by former Supervisor Chester Koop. The resident was walking, just minding his own business when Chester Koop told the resident that he cannot go there. This was the Township Park located at Milford Road and Rose Center Road which is open to the public. The Supervisor Chester Koop told the Rose Township resident:

"GET THE F--- OUT OF HERE"

The resident told Koop we weren't doing anything.

Chester Koop replied "You know you're not allowed in here"

The resident then replied what are you talking about this is a public park.

Chester Koop replied, "You think this a big f---ing joke, don't you?"

The resident then replied what are you talking about?

Chester Koop replied "You do this every year, and you were told you can't come here"

At this point Chester Koop put his chest into the resident and started pushing him backwards.

The resident stated: "You are pushing me"

Chester Koop got right into the residents face and stated:

"GET THE F--- OUT OF HERE"

The resident feared that his life was endangered, or great bodily harm was about to happen to him by Chester Koop's threating words and body language, so he and his young son left.

The resident spoke with a lawyer, and the lawyer said that was grounds to file a police report for Assault and Battery agianst Supervisor Chester Koop with the Michigan State Police Department.

Rose Township former Supervisor Chester Koop Gets Large Pay Raises after Township Hall Failures
It appears as though the former Rose Township Supervisor Chester Koop believes he has the right to retaliate against the voting Rose Township taxpayers.
The voting taxpayers of Rose Township voted down the Rose Township Supervisor Chester Koop's three attempts at building his large, luxurious, palace like, Township Hall Offices in 1998, 2000, and 2001.
The Rose Township Supervisor Chester Koop wanted his new Township Office really bad. “All I want is a new township hall.” Source - Holly Herald, January 14, 2001
Apparently, the Rose Township Supervisor Chester Koop acts as though if he can not get brand new offices, then he will take a salary to make him one of the highest paid supervisors in the State of Michigan; for a township of approximately 6,000 people, and a handful of taxable commercial businesses. Basically, it appears as if the Rose Township voters won’t give him his large luxurious office, then he will take what he wants in large pay raises.
From 2000 until 2004 the incumbent Rose Township Supervisor Chester Koop has recieved an approximately 35% salary increase over the last four (4) years.
Have you recieved a 35% pay increase from your company?
Look at the salary that you were making in 2000, or take your current salary and multiply it by 1.35.
Example:
Salary 40,000 x 1.35 = $54,000
Salary 50,000 x 1.35 = $67,500
Salary 60,000 x 1.35 = $81,000
Salary 70,000 x 1.35 = $94,500
Salary 80,000 x 1.35 = $108,000
If you did NOT receive these kind of salary increases over the past four year, or expect to receive these kind of salary increases over the next four (4) years, you have to ask the following question:
Can I, the taxpaying Voter of Rose Township, afford to continue to the pay the incumbent Rose Township Supervisor Chester Koop another 35% salary increase over the next four (4) years?
The last three years the economy has not been doing very well.
Some workers at DaimlerChrysler in Auburn Hills, Michigan have not have pay raises in the last 3 years.
New York City Police Officers have not had a wage increase in the last 3 years.
The City of New York offered the Union a 5% pay raise this year, the Police Union wants 17%.
Unions negotiate Cost of Living Allowance (COLA) for their members for inflation.
Inflation has been at about 2% for the last three years, until the beginning of this year.
Since 2001 (the last failure of a proposed Township Hall), the Rose Township Supervisor has received three pay raises in each of the last three years.
In 2002 the Rose Township Supervisor Chester Koop received an approximate 7% pay raise.
In 2003 the Rose Township Supervisor Chester Koop received an approximate 23% pay raise.
In 2004 (Election Year) Rose Township Supervisor Chester Koop received an approximate 3% pay raise.
While other Americans have NOT had pay raises, or small raises the last 3 years, the incumbent Rose Township Supervisor Chester Koop has received a cumulative pay increase in excess of 30%, or an average wage increase of approximately 10% per year, over the last three years.
On your next day at work, march to your boss and demand a 7% pay raise this year, a 23% pay raise next year, and then a 3% the following year.
or--Better yet, march to your boss and demand an immediate 30% pay raise this year, just to catch up to the Rose Township Supervisor Chester Koop.
Can I afford giving the current Rose Township Supervisor Chester Koop an average annual wage increase of 10% for four (4) more years?

Through Freedom of Information Act requests, CCORT has learned that incumbent supervisor Chester Koop had no implied nor expressed consent nor written court order to trespass upon the Rose Township resident's private property.

Apparently, certain incumbent Rose Township board members don't feel that way?!?
