I must state what is copied below before I even say hello to anyone whether it is on the phone or in person:  It is the law in this country whether you or Rex think it is not.  Now I am making another complaint to the DOJ.  All of this could could have been avoided if your people accepted Reasonable Accommodation to start instead of verbally being antagonistic with me.  Too bad that you know nothing of Aspergers as my perception when I deal with anybody is all that legally counts when I DEAL WITH ANYBODY.

Reasonable Accommodation

Per the ADA (Americans with Disabilities >FEDERAL< ACT) regulations.  The Civil Rights Division of the U.S. Department of Justice is responsible for the enforcement of Title III of the ADA.

When any company or retailer fails to comply with any of the ADA public accommodation requirements, regardless of how minor or how severe the violation that retailer can be sued for disability discrimination via the DOJ first or an individual second.

I, Andrew Marc Levitin, have a United States Social Security Disability

Impairment Code 2940 which is a combination of Tourrettes (use of Vulgar

language) and Aspergers Syndrome.  I also have a documented

sub – classification of IED (Intermittent Explosive Disorder) 132.34 – Verbal

antagonistic outbursts which as the term intermittent means at any possible

time wherein undue pressure is given due to real or perceived provocation.  I

may say something inappropriate, but that is documented as part of my US

Social Security Disability, and it is not to be inferred as a danger to an

employee.  My doctors, and I find that the lack of interaction with people

wherein people initiate the interaction with myself as an individual as one of the

triggers that causes outbursts.  I specifically require as REASONABLE

ACCOMMODATION that I be left (not disturbed when shopping) alone to shop

and unless I need specific help and ask for it, to not instigate a situation with

me.  Otherwise, you are in violation of the ADA and violate my Civil Rights

which can be a crime in the USA.

Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)

The ADA prohibits discrimination on the basis of disability in employment, State and local government, public accommodations, commercial facilities, transportation, and telecommunications. It also applies to the United States Congress.

To be protected by the ADA, one must have a disability or have a relationship or association with an individual with a disability. An individual with a disability is defined by the ADA as a person who has a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities, a person who has a history or record of such an impairment, or a person who is perceived by others as having such an impairment. The ADA does not specifically name all of the impairments that are covered.

Together, these laws prohibit discrimination on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, and religion by State and local law enforcement agencies that receive financial assistance from the Department of Justice. (42 U.S.C. § 2000d, et seq. and 42 U.S.C. § 3789d(c)). Currently, most persons are served by a law enforcement agency that receives DOJ funds. These laws prohibit both individual instances and patterns or practices of discriminatory misconduct, i.e., treating a person differently because of race, color, national origin, sex, or religion. The misconduct covered by Title VI and the OJP (Office of Justice Programs) Program Statute includes, for example, harassment or use of racial slurs, unjustified arrests, discriminatory traffic stops, coercive sexual conduct, retaliation for filing a complaint with DOJ or participating in the investigation, use of excessive force, or refusal by the agency to respond to complaints alleging discriminatory treatment by its officers.

What remedies are available under these laws? DOJ may seek changes in the policies and procedures of the agency to remedy violations of these laws and, if appropriate, also seek individual remedial relief for the victim(s). Individuals also have a private right of action under Title VI and under the OJP Program Statute; in other words, you may file a lawsuit yourself under these laws. However, you must first exhaust your administrative remedies by filing a complaint with DOJ if you wish to file in Federal Court under the OJP Program Statute.
