  • Email to the CUNY Chancellor and Baruch College President about privacy among students.

    I also included the CUNY and Baruch College Title IX Coordinators in the email. I didn’t mention that people I know pay New York law enforcement to torture me.

    If I get into a pair in one of my classes with a female or male student at Baruch College my civilian enemies and their law enforcement crime partners will have me kicked out of school in a New York second.

    New York law enforcement has sabotaged me at every New York government agency I’ve ever dealt with including CUNY.

    Greetings,

    First and foremost, I treat everyone at The City University of New York (CUNY), the New York City Comptroller’s Office, HRA, etc., with the utmost respect at all times. Treating people respectfully is more important than anything. That includes CUNY and Baruch College staff, professors, and students. 

    I believe getting into groups/pairs with students during college classes and sharing personal information should be optional. That applies to distance learning and at school.

    Today, I’m starting to contact thousands of schools, organizations, government agencies, news organizations, blogs, etc. to initiate the change nationally and globally. I believe that students should have the option to maintain their privacy at college. I’m going to start with New York and then go state by state contacting various institutions and organizations.

    I love to meet and interact with people. My goal in life is to have a positive impact on society. Unfortunately, with the number of catastrophes at colleges between students plus students and professors, I have to request permission to maintain my privacy at school. 

    College is too important for me to open myself up to a situation that is out of my control and could potentially derail my education.
    CUNY professors from John Jay and LaGuardia Community College have recently been terminated due to their interactions with students. 

    Why would I want to expose myself to those types of situations? For all I know, there may have been additional teachers terminated. Professors are forcing me to get into small groups with students, while simultaneously being fired for the same thing. 

    I have no access to find out how many students have been suspended from CUNY schools due to having issues with other students. Nationwide, the number of students being expelled from school for having issues between students might be in the thousands or tens of thousands. 

    Why am I being forced into groups when it’s such a small part of the big picture, yet has the ability to have someone thrown out of school in one second flat? There have been too many misfortunate events for there not to be an option to opt out. I don’t see it as a big deal for students to have the option of being a solo group. 

    I can volunteer at countless organizations throughout the city and work alongside people. I have and will again. Respectfully, with the calamities that have taken place, I don’t want to socialize at college. If it works for other people, I wish them the best. I’m at CUNY for the degree and to learn. I’m not looking for dates, contacts, or anything of that nature. 

    I have been harassed by at least three students, female and male, since I started at CUNY. I have no idea who they are. Furthermore, I don’t know who these individuals are connected with, but they sure didn’t seem to be too concerned about getting in trouble. All the students were harassing me in clear view of security cameras. I ignored all of them. A person can pour a can of paint on my head and I won’t react. 

    I don’t want to form groups with female or male students. I don’t want to have supervised and/or unsupervised phone calls, zoom calls, emails, etc. with female or male students. I don’t want student’s personal information and I don’t want them having my personal information.

    The climate is so strict right now. Any claim, made by any student, against another student, is agony for the accused. 

    Why in my right mind, would I want to break into groups with students? I don’t see an upside. All I see is a downside. 

    Could you imagine the coincidence if I ran into a female or male student somewhere in New York City after we had broken into a group at school and someone claimed that something happened? 

    THOSE TYPES OF COINCIDENCES HAPPEN A LOT WHERE I’M FROM. 

    Not because of me. I grew up around millionaires. Some of them were nice. Some of them run scams and sabotage people. I have reported them to the proper authorities. 

    I have a 3.975 GPA so far at CUNY after 36 credits. 

    If I have to break into groups with students I will. I will treat everyone with the utmost respect and professionalism. 

    I’m confident that there are a lot of students, female and male, who feel the same way that I do about being forced into small groups at college. I have a strong feeling that we have the chance to save people from uncomfortable and potentially dangerous situations if we can make the change. 

    Please provide any feedback you deem appropriate.

    Thank you and have a great day. 

    Ever upward,

    Mark Pine

  • Email to a department at LaGuardia Community College respectfully challenging my grade.

    Greetings,

    More important than anything, I treat everyone at CUNY with the utmost respect at all times. I believe my performance in the class warranted an A. I respect everyone’s decision. I would like to challenge my A-. 

    For the record, my GPA at LaGuardia Community College is 3.975. 11 As and 1 A-. Regardless if I get my way or not, I loved the class, and I think the professor is a great teacher. I merely disagree with the decision.

    The same applies to everyone in the department. I respect your decision, I respect everyone in the department and I love CUNY. 

    • I turned in every assignment on time or early. 
    • I earned 100 on both quizzes. 
    • I participated via the chat during classes and emails with the professor. 
    • In my humble opinion, my term paper was good as was my presentation. 
    • I have a video recording of my presentation.

    I’m happy with the A-. I would like to challenge it because I believe I deserve an A. I respect whatever decision you make. Please let me know what additional information you require from me. 

    Thank you and have a great day.

  • Email to a CUNY professor about not wanting to pair up with students.

    Greetings,

    Thank you for the information. 

    I don’t feel comfortable pairing up with students. I have had at least three CUNY students, female and male, harass me in less than three semesters. I report it and nothing happens. 

    Furthermore, God forbid I’m “pairing up” with a student and then coincidentally run into her/him outside of school. I can’t risk my education. 

    There have been so many disasters between students at colleges that I find it best to steer clear of those types of situations. 

    Is there any way that I can be excused from having to pair up with students? 

    I assure you I will be engaged in the material. I have a 3.975 GPA after 36 credits. I take school very seriously.

    I 100% respect and understand your position regardless if you are able to accommodate me or not. In addition to being interesting in theater and the entertainment business, your reviews as a professor are stellar. 

    I understand this is not a request you probably get often. I have no hesitation about performing. I’ll get on stage right now in front of 10 thousand people and improvise. 

    This is not only about giving women their space. I don’t want to pair up with men or women. 

    One thing I will say about women though. I was just watching the sexual harassment video, I forgot what it’s called, for Baruch College. 

    The sexual harassment video said men are not allowed to leer at women. The definition of leering is to “look or gaze.” If it’s against the rules to look or gaze at a woman how am I going to “pair up” with a woman? Technically, that is against the rules. 

    Respectfully, I don’t want to pair up with anyone. I can only be responsible for my own behavior. I don’t feel comfortable being in a position where I could end up in some type of, he said/she said or he said/he said situation. 

    There have been too many “blow-ups” already at CUNY schools (LaGuardia Community College/John Jay) for me to let my guard down in that respect, in addition to what I’ve experienced myself. 

    Please advise. 

    Regardless of what you decide, I have the utmost respect for you as a professor, and I respect your position. 

    Thank you and have a great day.

  • Email to the Nassau County District Attorney about my phone records.

    Greetings Nassau County District Attorney, 

    I submitted 8 PDFS from T Mobile with my phone records to my Nassau County Legal Aid attorney. I would be happy to share my T Mobile phone records with you directly or you can obtain them from my attorney. 

    Respectfully, I would like copies of all the call recordings to be used as evidence in my case. I called many more times than the Nassau County Police Department is claiming. 

    The Nassau County Police and their team acted extremely unprofessionally on several calls. The citizens of Nassau County will be horrified when they hear the Nassau County Police Headquarters switchboard operators in action. 

    I probably called over 1,000 times. That includes calls to the Nassau County Police Department, Nassau County 911, Nassau County Internal Affairs, and a few calls to the precincts.

    I also called the Nassau County District Attorney’s Office and the Nassau County Executives Office to report that rich people I know are paying the police to harass me. 

    There is one call to the Nassau County Police 4th Precinct that is beyond unprofessional. A police officer picked up the phone and threatened me. I said I’m writing down the time and date of this call, I hope it’s being recorded. The officer immediately hung up. 

    1,000 calls might sound like a lot. It doesn’t seem like a lot when New York law enforcement is maliciously harassing me. 

    Five days before my arrest officers from the NCPD 6th Precinct stopped me in Great Neck and told me to stop calling Nassau County 911. That was the last time I called. I also stopped calling Nassau County Police Headquarters at that time.

    The Nassau County Police Department is claiming that I called them from two phones when I only have one phone. 

    One of New York law enforcement’s signature scams is to have civilians who work for them ferociously pick fights with people. 

    When the person they are trying to set up reacts, namely me in this circumstance, the person is immediately arrested. Then all the evidence is destroyed that doesn’t back up the police’s narrative. Exactly what they are trying to do in this case. 

    When the Nassau County Police Department and their civilian team brutally harass me, I call and report it. That’s the only reaction they get out of me. The individuals at Nassau County Police Headquarters pick up the phone and insult me, threaten me, and hang up. I’ll call back a few times just so it’s documented.

    Needless to say, the Nassau County Police Department and their civilian lie and scam team are still harassing me when I’m in Nassau County. I just take it because obviously, I can’t call anymore. 

    I would like to file a police report that people I know pay New York law enforcement including the NCPD to harass people including myself. I was denied reports by the NCPD 2nd and 4th Precinct. 

    People I know also pay New York law enforcement to allow them to commit felonies. I have rock-solid evidence of that. 

    I suspect the Nassau County Police Department is not submitting the calls where they are verbally attacking and threatening me on the phone. Hopefully, the court doesn’t allow that. 

    I also submitted my college transcript from The City University of New York to my Nassau County Legal Aid Attorney. I have a 3.975 GPA after 36 credits and I’m on the Dean’s List. 

    Thank you and have a great day.

  • Email to Baruch College professor about groups.

    Greetings Professor,

    I was thinking about signing up for your class because it’s a requirement and you have amazing reviews online. 

    I saw something about a group project. 

    The reason I ask is that I try to avoid classes where I have to interact with students. 

    I have been harassed by a few students for no reason at all. Of course, I merely ignored them and reported it. I find it best to keep to myself at school from here on out. 

    I always treat everyone with the utmost respect, staff, professors, student, etc. With that being said, I go out of my way to avoid students because there is no benefit for me. The slightest misunderstanding between students and someone can be tossed out of school. I don’t see any upside. 

    Please advise if there are any mandatory group projects if possible.

    Thank you and have a great day.

  • Email to a professor at Baruch College about not interacting with students.

    Greetings Professor,

    I signed up for your class. 

    I have a quick question. Is there interaction between students? The reason I’m asking is that I try to maintain my privacy as much as possible. 

    I love the subject and your reviews as a professor are amazing. I just want to avoid any classes where I’m going to have to interact with students via video calls and my phone. I’ll interact with professors. I don’t want to interact with students. 

    The environment is so strict these days in regards to tossing students out of school for misunderstandings, I don’t even want to be in a position where there can be a misunderstanding. That goes for female and male students. 

    I want to keep to myself, study hard, learn, and graduate. 

    I have been harassed by at least three students for absolutely no reason. I just ignore it. After so many instances of being harassed by students, my strategy at school is to try and avoid those types of classes where I have to interact with students. 

    I can easily meet people outside of school. I don’t want to meet anyone at school besides professors and Baruch College staff. 

    I’m always friendly and respectful to everyone including students. With that being said, I’m not going out of my way to meet students. 

    Please advise. 

    Thank you and have a great day.

  • Email to the Hicksville Library thanking them and about a new policy.

    Greetings,

    I love the Hicksville Library. You are all doing an amazing job creating a valuable resource for the community.

    I just wanted to confirm, until further notice, the limit is two hours per day?

    Also, I’m glad I checked the website because for some reason I didn’t see the sign in form anywhere. I’ll make sure to sign in from now on.

    Please advise.

    Thank you and have a great day.

  • The Nassau County Police and their civilian team are harassing me at the Hicksville Library.

    I bought hundreds of masks on Amazon. I literally change my mask three or four times per day. 

    People I know pay New York law enforcement to harass me every day. Including the FBI, NYPD, NCPD, SCPD, and others. They have been paying law enforcement to terrorize people for decades. 

    I have contacted the Department of Investigations, CCRB, Internal Affairs, US Attorney, District Attorney, etc. None of them have helped me at all. New York law enforcement and their huge civilian lie and scam team continue to harass me without a care in the world about being caught. 

    I’m studying for college at the Hicksville Library. I went to scratch my face for a fraction of a second and I guess my mask went out of place for literally a fraction of a second. Without hesitation the split second I start adjusting my mask, the Nassau County civilian lie and scam team spring into action and start photographing me with their phones. 

    These people are sick in the head. If you don’t believe this goes on Google the word cointelpro. Also, look up what members of New York law enforcement have been arrested for lately. 

    I have not said one work to anyone at the library including the staff.

  • Nassau County police fabricated evidence for my case because I don’t do anything illegal.

    This is an email I sent to Nassau County Legal Aid and others about it.

    Greetings,

    I stopped calling Nassau County Police headquarters and Nassau County 911 about five days before my arrest. Members of the Nassau County Police 6th Precinct told me to stop calling when I was in Great Neck and I did. Of course, Nassau County law enforcement and their civilian team continue to harass me because people I know have been paying them for decades. I just ignore them and call law enforcement and government numbers outside of Nassau County. 

    This is the complaint from my arrest.

    I just finished school at CUNY for the semester where I’m on the Dean’s List with a 4.0 GPA after 27 credits. Now I have to deal with being falsely arrested. 

    I was looking at my Nassau County arrest complaint and immediately I noticed that they are writing that I was calling from multiple phone numbers. The only phone number I have is 917-815-5415. I have no connection with the other mobile phone number listed. 

    Why are they writing that I’m calling from a phone that I have no connection with? I only have one phone. I have no money. If it wasn’t for student loans I couldn’t afford the phone I have. Why would I have two phones? 

    My phone is registered in my name at T Mobile. I told the arresting officers, the Nassau County District attorney, Nassau County legal aid, and others that I will gladly share my T Mobile phone records. I have nothing to hide. I don’t do anything illegal. 

    I don’t drink. I don’t smoke. I don’t party. I’ll gladly turn over my bank records if that will help. 

    I can’t figure out which calls in my T Mobile account are to Nassau County 911 or NYPD 911. I know I called Nassau County 911 several times because people I know pay them to harass me. When Nassau County Police and their civilian team start harassing me and trying to pick fights with me to get me in trouble, I would call Nassau County Police headquarters or Nassau County 911. I haven’t called since about five days before my arrest. 

    I think that for some reason Nassau County Police are underreporting the calls that I made. I suspect the reason is that they are embarrassed about how their operators acted and sounded on the phone. I suspect I called more times than they are reporting. I’m going to check my phone records and write up the information. 

    In addition to the Nassau County police lying and saying I have two phones when I only have one, I am going to continue to analyze this complaint because I think there is at least one other thing in there that might be false. 

    I have called NYPD 911 several times over the years because I spend the majority of my time in New York City and the same people I know that pay the NCPD pay the NYPD to viciously harass me.  

    If anyone reading this doesn’t believe this goes on members of New York law enforcement have recently been arrested for murder, rape, child abuse, drug dealing, drunk driving, the list goes on. I can only imagine what they are getting away with. 

    I only have one phone. I’m on public assistance/welfare. If it wasn’t for student loans I wouldn’t even have one phone. The whole point of calling the police is that the NYPD and NCPD are blocking me from obtaining police reports. When I call, my thought process is why would someone who is doing something illegal call NCPD headquarters? At least if anything happens I can prove that I called to report that the NCPD was viciously harassing me. The whole point of calling is for the calls to be on my phone records as evidence that I can’t get anywhere else. 

    The NCPD is lying about the number of times I called to cover up the calls where they look horrible. They are lying about me calling from two phones when the whole point of calling is for the calls to be on my phone records as evidence that the police are harassing me. 

    This is taken from the complaint. 

    I, was working as a switchboard operator for the Nassau County Police Department communications bureau, located at 1194 Prospect Ave., Westbury, NY 11590. At approximately 10-11am another operator and I began receiving numerous phone calls from a man who identified himself as Mark Pine, using phone number 917 [hidden]. Said individual began complaining that a police officer named Rich was receiving a pension even though he was fired. He would demand to speak with a detective or the police commissioner, and continued to gripe about the police department. While describing his contempt with the police department he began to use graphic sexual language that made me uncomfortable. I notified the dispatch supervisor, who spoke with the caller and asked that he cease calling the switchboard/communications bureau. He then started calling from a different number, 917-815-5415, and when he wasn’t complaining and using vulgar language he would simply hang up when we answered his call. I clearly recognized the voice of the same caller for all of the calls received from these numbers. These calls have become a nuisance and need to stop. I am not requesting an arrest at this time. Report for documentation purposes only. This statement was prepared for me by Officer Joos and it is the truth. 

    I’m going to continue working on this. I can’t believe how the Nassau County Police makes up blatant lies in police reports. I’m sitting in a subway station writing this. After about ten minutes of writing this, someone ran up to me and blew marijuana smoke in my face, and ran off. That’s been done to me hundreds of times. 

  • Email to my gym about customers not respecting the environment.

    Greetings X gym,

    More important than anything, I treat all your staff with the utmost respect at all times. For the most part, I keep to myself. The interaction I have with your team is always respectful as I treat everyone. The X gym employees at the gym are the best in the business.

    As I’ve mentioned several times, X gym is my favorite workout place in the city. You are doing an extraordinary job.

    I wanted to report that the majority of your clients are following the rules. For some reason, and this was going on at other gyms I’ve been a member at, there are people whose mission is to break the rules.

    I never mention anything about this to your staff in person. Lord knows they have enough to manage running a retail location in New York City. Furthermore, I would never mention a word to one of your customers, regardless of whatever happened. Nothing phases me. Someone could throw a can of paint on my head, and I woudn’t lose my cool.

    The issue I’m emailing about is people not being patient while walking around the gym. If I didn’t know better, I would suspect there are a number of customers looking to crash into people in the hallways. I was waiting for someone to walk out of the locker room while walking out of the bathroom. People start running around me from behind, cutting everyone off. They might have been on their way to pick up a bank check or something like that. It’s none of my business.

    If you ever look at how carefully I walk around the gym, you would see how respectful I am. I’m not claiming that everyone needs to be as cautious as me. However, some clients are cutting people off and not respecting the situation here.

    It’s not a big deal. I merely enjoy reporting everything to try and be helpful when possible.

    Thank you again for running the number one gym in the city. I hope X gym takes over the whole country.

    Thank you and have a great day.

    Ever upward,

    Mark Pine
