What is the name of your state? Florida
My wife and father were in business together for many years (both stockholders), but just before he died, he fired her for fraud claiming she paid personal items from the business(the same as he had done for years)-without his knowledge. She re-imbursed the company and thought it was over. A couple months before he died, he called his girl friend's "ex-law enforcement friends" at the local authorities (without our knowledge) and the investigator issued seal subpoenas for our credit cards and bank accounts - again without our knowledge. When he died, his girl friend told my wife there were criminal charges waiting to be filed if she questioned the will/trust and mentioned things about our personal fiances she would only know by having seen our personal credit card records.
That's when I did some digging and found out our records had been subpoeaned 4 months earlier without our being notified. One of the credit card records is under my name only. I asked to see the file under public records disclosure (since the case was closed), but was only give the case report which contains what appear to be some blatant lies to the investigator in what I think was a way to try and justify getting the subpoeans. (But I cannot tell unless they let me see the rest of the file.)
I would like to know what personal records they subpoenaed without my knowledge. I would also like to know if I have any recourse if the subpoeanas were issued in part based on lies to the investigator and if the investigator had the right to hand them over to my father-in-law for his personal perusal? And why (given this was a family dispute between the shareholders, and settled) did the local authortities get involved other than to give my father -in-law access to our personal records?
