  • Opinion: I can’t use my laptop at Baruch College unless I video record my laptop screen.

    Email to Baruch College about not being able to use my laptop on July 11, 2024, at about 2:45 PM.

    Greetings Baruch College,

    The glass is half full. I’m making the best of it.

    I can’t use my laptop without video recording the screen.

    I just wanted to let you know that I can’t use my laptop on any Wi-Fi when I’m at Baruch College unless I video record my laptop screen for hours at a time.

    People I know started paying people to run scams on me, and ever since then, my laptops, phones, and tablets have been stolen dozens of times. I have 28 NYPD Police reports.

    Plus, I have women and men shoving their phones in my face and crashing into me constantly. I ignore them.

    When my devices aren’t being stolen, I can’t turn a page on the web for hours at a time unless I video record my laptop screen.

    Of course, I would never mention anything negative to any Baruch College professor.

    I will just let them know that, for some reason, my laptops don’t work unless I video record my laptop screen with my phone, or I just won’t use my laptop during classes if they prefer I don’t video record my laptop screen with my phone.

    My phone, laptop, and tablet have been stolen 10 times in less than two years.

    My phone, laptop, and tablet have been stolen dozens of times in the last five years.

    When I started at LaGuardia, I didn’t have a laptop or tablet.

    I had a $50 phone because all the good ones had been stolen.

    I bought 7 phones with my student loans in 2023 and 6 of them were stolen.

    Clearly, someone doesn’t want me using smartphones or the web.

    The same people chased away my web marketing clients.

    The glass is half full.

    I’m making the best of it.

    Sometimes my laptop will move at a reduced speed without video recording the screen although I usually find myself having to video record my laptop screen for hours every day or it won’t work.

    My laptop will freeze. I’ll start to video record the laptop screen with my phone and it will start working again.

    I’m making the best of it.

    I’m working hard to try and earn money so I can legally turn the tables on the people who are harassing me (random people from New York who think its funny to pay people to sabotage people).

    Thank you and have a great day.

  • Opinion: NYC law enforcement had a few people running scams on me at the Human Resources Administration 16th St Manhattan location today.

    Greetings HRA, 

    I always treat all HRA staff politely and respectfully at all times even when some HRA staff run scams on me at the request of NYC law enforcement. 

    I’m not saying all HRA staff runs scams on me.

    I suspect a few do.

    Today’s HRA scams at HRA 16 St in Manhattan. 

    A security guard ran behind me pretending I was doing something wrong. That’s a classic NYC law enforcement scam. I didn’t say a word. I just got out of the way. 

    An HRA recipient shoved his phone in my face. I didn’t say a word. 

    When I checked in I got a PR ticket even though my recertification is complete. 

    When it was my turn to meet with the customer service person, I suspect NYC law enforcement were running some of their classic scams. 

    It was July 10, 2024. 

    The woman who works for HRA starts calling me up to the desk. 

    The previous person is still arguing with her and he won’t leave. 

    That’s a classic scam that NYC law enforcement runs on me all the time in supermarkets and stores. 

    One person is calling me up and other people are blocking me, trying to crash into me, and start arguments. 

    This goes on for a few minutes. 

    You can check the video cameras. I think there are a few in that room. 

    After the guy finally moves I go up to the counter. 

    Then law enforcement hits me with the next scam. 

    I believe the security cameras are pointing towards my back when I’m speaking with the customer service women. 

    Of course the security cameras were probably recording video and not audio. 

    Law enforcement has another public assistance recipient who was at the customer service area next to me start arguing with the customer service woman who is helping me. 

    That way on the security cameras it looks like the customer service person is arguing with me. 

    One more time. 

    People I know pay NYC law enforcement and their civilian lie and scam team to harass me constantly. 

    NYC law enforcement has women and men in regular clothes harassing me constantly trying to get me kicked out of every place I go. 

    I always treat all HRA staff, security guards, and other public assistance recipients respectfully no matter what. 

    Law enforcement has been running these types of scams on me 247. 

    It’s so obvious if you look at the security footage it’s not even funny. 

  • Opinion: Email to the biggest Manhattan, New York City, urgent cares. 

    Thank you for the stellar service. Your urgent care staff and facilities are life savers

    Greetings Urgent Care, 

    I’m going to make this quick. 

    I don’t have a criminal record. 

    I don’t do anything illegal. 

    I’m 47 years old. 

    In my opinion, people I know pay New York City law enforcement and their civilian team to harass me. 

    I’ve contacted hundreds of New York and national government and law enforcement offices and not one of them will help me. 

    I’m not giving up, I’m used to it, and I’m trying to get help from the general public via the web. 

    I never mention a word about New York City law enforcement and their civilian team harassing me to any of your staff. 

    I always treat your staff politely and respectfully, no matter what. 

    Urgent care is one of the best ideas ever. 

    New York City is lucky to have companies such as yours to support the people with quality medical care without an appointment. 

    The NYPD has issued me 28 police reports with me as the victim. 

    I hope most New York City law enforcement are good people and the treatment I’m getting doesn’t represent the norm. 

    One scam that New York City law enforcement runs on me is they have women and men in regular clothes harass me constantly. 

    I ignore them. 

    When New York City law enforcement is spending millions of dollars teasing and harassing me, they like to have their plain clothes civilian team sneak up on me and blow various types of smoke in my face. 

    It magnifies the effect of the teasing and harassment. 

    After New York City law enforcement has their plain clothes civilian team blow drug smoke in my face I go to either an urgent care or emergency room. 

    I’ve been to your urgent care dozens if not hundreds of times. 

    Every time I go, I politely and respectfully say the exact same thing to the doctor or physician assistant. 

    I politely and respectfully say someone I don’t know blew some type of smoke in my face, and I have the feeling of smoking weed. 

    I politely and respectfully say that I just wanted to get checked out to make sure my vitals and everything are OK. 

    If I don’t regularly visit urgent cares or emergency rooms, New York City law enforcement will have their regular clothes civilian team blow drug smoke in my face several times per day. 

    I value my good standing with your fine organization therefore I just wanted to let you know what’s going on and why I’ve visited your urgent cares dozens if not hundreds of times. 

    I assume most members of New York City law enforcement are very nice. 

    Not saying you have to believe what I’m saying, although members of the NYPD have recently been convicted for murder, drug dealing, paying people to murder people, child abuse, domestic violence, and much more. There have been dozens, if not hundreds, of incidents during the last five years. 

    One more time. 

    I never mention one negative word about law enforcement to any of your staff under any circumstances. 

    I always treat your staff from the front desk to the doctors politely and respectfully at all times. That is more important than any of this. 

    New York City and New York state are lucky to have you. 

    We need you more than you need us. 

    I can’t imagine any state wouldn’t appreciate top quality urgent care. 

    I suspect it’s easier to make money in other places compared with Manhattan and New York City. 

    I don’t think the New York State and New York City governments are doing enough to support quality organizations such as yours. 

    No one has to contact me. 

    I’m cc’ing a few government and law enforcement agencies on this email just to show you how serious I am. 

    The government has let me and others being harassed by law enforcement and their civilian team down, therefore I rely on organizations such as urgent cares and hopefully non-government organizations to help me endure the constant abuse. 

    In my spare time I’m trying to raise money from accredited investors for startups. 

    Hopefully I get lucky and I’m able to launch companies, earn money, so I’m not such an easy target. 

    The glass is half full. 

    I’m walking through the fire and focused on elevating my life while New York City law enforcement and their civilian team are moving full steam ahead harassing me. 

    I’m confident it will all work out. 

    Last thing. 

    Anytime I visit your urgent cares I only say someone blew smoke in my face and I have the feeling of smoking weed. 

    I don’t joke around. 

    I don’t talk forever. 

    I politely and respectfully answer the questions and that’s it. 

    Thank you and have a great day.

  • Email to a gym about another member accusing me of stealing.

    Greetings Great Gym, 

    The gym is amazing. 

    New York City is lucky to have you. 

    I’m 47.

    I have zero criminal record. 

    No one has to contact me. 

    Tonight June 22, 2024, at about 8:50 PM something happened that I want to quickly report. 

    I was minding my own business leaving the gym. 

    Someone accused me of stealing. 

    I said to the person I totally understand that people get robbed all the time in New York City and it’s frustrating. 

    I told him he could check my backpack no problem. 

    I have digital receipts for my backpack and everything inside it. 

    The person looked through my backpack and said that nothing inside was his. 

    He then came up to me again and asked if I saw someone steal his backpack. 

    I said no. 

    I said “do you want to check my belongings again? I’m more than happy to show you anything you want if that will make you confident it’s someone else.”

    He said no. 

    I have no idea who the person is. 

    If I see the person again, I wouldn’t recognize him. 

    I always treat your stellar staff with the utmost respect at all times. 

    That is the number one most important thing. 

    Your staff at all the gyms are amazing. 

    The whole thing lasted about ten minutes. 

    The second the person approached me, I turned on the audio recorder on my phone because I was near the front door of the gym almost walking out. 

    If we were in the locker room I wouldn’t have been able to record. 

    I’ll keep the audio for safekeeping, although I’m not looking to get anyone in trouble, it’s a reasonable misunderstanding. 

    I was just thinking to myself, if I got robbed, it’s excellent that you sell clothes because if someone ever stole my clothes from a locker, I can wear the gym clothes out. 

    The person who accused me seemed to be satisfied at the end. 

    If you look at the security video, you will see I emptied out my whole backpack and let the person go into all the pockets on the couch by the front door. 

    Again, the staff and gym are amazing. 

    NYC is lucky that we have such solid retail offerings such as yours.

    Thank you again for being so awesome. 

    I tell everyone I know to join and I’ve left you 5 star reviews on every review site. 

    Thank you and have a great day.

  • Opinion: I have called the FBI and Police more than 10,000 times. 

    In my opinion, people I know pay New York City law enforcement and others to harass me. 

    New York City law enforcement has a large group of people that run around in regular clothes and harass me in broad daylight. 

    New York City law enforcement’s plain clothes team has perfected harassing someone out in the open and going undetected. 

    For example, New York City law enforcement will have people sneak up on me and blow weed smoke in my face. 

    New York City law enforcement has women and men cut me off and crash into me repeatedly. 

    New York City law enforcement has people hold their phones up to their heads and pretend they are talking.

    Then the person will shove their phone in my face. 

    New York City law enforcement has their plain clothes team point in my face. 

    New York City law enforcement has their plain clothes team rob me and vandalize my property. 

    The New York City FBI blocked my phone number. 

    The NYPD blocked my phone number. 

    The US Attorney Southern District blocked my phone number. 

    The United States Secret Service blocked my phone number from calling all of their offices nationwide. 

    The Manhattan District Attorney blocked my number. 

    The list goes on. 

    When I call the Newark, New Jersey, and New Haven, Connecticut FBI offices, they usually hang up immediately. 

    When New York City law enforcement has their plain clothes team harass me, I call and report it while it’s happening. 

    In my estimation, I’ve called NYPD 911 more than 10,000 times. 

    In my estimation, I’ve called FBI offices nationwide, the bank robbery extension more than 10,000 times. 

    In my estimation, I’ve called the NYPD more than 10,000 times. 

    I never call 911 outside of New York City because I was arrested for calling 911 in Nassau County, New York. 

    I don’t have a criminal record. 

    I don’t drink. 

    I don’t smoke. 

    I don’t party. 

    I don’t do anything illegal. 

    I always treat Patrol Police respectfully in person. 

    Disclaimers:

    I’m not an attorney.

    I’ve already been arrested once for calling the police to report that I’m being harassed by the police.

    I was charged with a misdemeanor and ended up with a violation. 

    If anyone has any ideas how I can try to get the police to stop harassing me, please let me know. 

    NYPD Internal Affairs has not helped me at all. 

    NYPD Internal Affairs blocked my phone number. 

    The Civilian Complaint Review Board has not helped me at all. 

    The Department of Investigations has not helped me at all. 

    The Manhattan District Attorney’s Office has not helped me at all. 

    The New York City Council has not helped me at all. 

    The Manhattan Borough President’s Office has not helped me at all. 

    The New York City Public Advocate’s Office has not helped me at all. 

  • Opinion: Email from Mark Pine to the NYPD Transit Police. June 21, 2022.

    Opinion: Email from Mark Pine to the NYPD Transit Precincts.

    June 21, 2022. 

    Greetings NYPD Transit Police,

    https://www1.nyc.gov/site/nypd/bureaus/transit-housing/transit.page

    I’m a civilian. 

    I don’t drink. 

    I don’t smoke. 

    I don’t party. 

    I don’t have a criminal record. 

    Some people I grew up with paid various law enforcement to sabotage my web marketing clients. 

    I have my issues with law enforcement but not with NYPD Patrol Police. 

    Even though sometimes the higher ranking law enforcement has NYPD Patrol Police try and crash into me and pick fights with me, I don’t fall for it. 

    I’m not trying to make a bad situation worse. 

    Law enforcement pays civilian women and men, regular people in plain clothes, to try and pick fights with me. 

    Plus, people blow weed smoke at me and then shove their phones in my face. 

    I have received so many tickets in the New York City subway I have lost count. 

    I have also received tickets riding a bicycle and on New York City buses. 

    If I had to guess, I’ve received about $3,000 in tickets. 

    Thankfully I could pay them all because of my student loans.

    I’m a full-time student at Baruch College.

    I’m a journalism major. 

    In my spare time, I’m trying to launch startups. 

    I cold call hedge funds asking for money. 

    I read that NYPD transit cops now have to work in the subway alone without a partner. 

    https://abc7ny.com/nypd-subway-crime-transit-patrols-eric-adams/11984951/

    In my opinion, that is the worst policy I have ever heard in my whole life. 

    In my opinion, the NYPD is doing a good job of keeping Manhattan safe. 

    I’m not sure about the other boroughs because I’m not there. 

    I just read that the yearly budget for New York City is about $100 billion. 

    Fiscal 2018-2022 Financial Plan Overview

    There should be security cameras and panic buttons inside every subway car. 

    Patrol Police should travel at least two at a time or more. 

    NYPD Transit Police traveling by themselves is a bad idea. 

    Sometimes I feel like people purposely try to run New York City into the ground. 

    A real money manager could do a lot better with $100 billion than the current leadership of New York City is doing. 

    Anyone working in law enforcement in New York City who carries a weapon should earn a starting salary of $200 thousand annually. 

    I believe that New York City should incentivize developers to create more high rises in Queens and offer New York City employees the opportunity to live in the city for below-market rents. 

    How will you ask someone to protect a city they can’t afford to live in? 

    It makes no sense. 

    Regardless of what is going on, I always treat all NYPD Patrol Police with the utmost respect at all times. 

    Do I think that people I know pay law enforcement in New York to harass me?

    Yes. 

    Do I blame NYPD Patrol Police for that?

    No. 

    Thank you for keeping us safe while the city is being run haphazardly. 

    Sincerely, 

    Mark Pine

  • New York City law enforcement is using dogs to try and get me kicked out of my coworking place, gym, etc.

    New York City law enforcement has audio of me complaining on the Manhattan District Attorney and New York City Department of Investigations voice mail about dogs.

    Let me quickly explain.

    When I find a nice public lawn to relax on, New York City law enforcement springs into action.

    First New York City law enforcement has people in regular clothes blow vape and weed smoke in my face.

    That’s just to set the mood.

    Then New York City law enforcement will have women and men bring one dog after the next to the lawn and go to the bathroom.

    Sometimes New York City law enforcement will have people bring their dogs within one foot of me to go to the bathroom.

    Now in almost every business I go New York City law enforcement has customers follow me around with dogs.

    By the way, there is a massive delay as I’m typing this.

    I type a sentence and it doesn’t show up on the screen for 30 seconds or longer.

    I’ve never experienced the typing delay before New York City law enforcement started teasing, harassing, and sabotaging me every day.

    Here is New York City law enforcements dog scam.

    New York City law enforcement has a plan to take the audio from the New York City government voice mails and say the audio was spoken to people at my coworking place, gym, etc.

    I’m going on the record right now.

    If someone from my coworking place, gym, etc., has a dog I don’t care.

    I belong to one of the best coworking places and gyms in the city.

    All I do is compliment my coworking place and gym about the great deals they both offer.

    New York City law enforcement keeps trying to use audio of me complaining about New York City law enforcement to get me in trouble with Baruch College, my coworking place, gym, etc.

    If someone at my coworking place or gym picks up multiple dogs and starts throwing them at me I will pack up my laptop and move to another location.

    I’m not going to say a word to any customers or staff at my coworking, gym, etc., complaining about dogs or anything for that matter.

  • Email to the New York City Comptroller’s office about my NYPD lawsuit on May 22, 2024.

    I’m not a lawyer.

    I don’t know anything about the law.

    Greetings NYC Comptroller’s Office, 

    Thank you for all your help with my NYPD Notice of Claim documents. 

    First and foremost, I always treat everyone at the NYC Comptroller’s office, everyone at the courts, everyone who works at One Centre, etc., with the utmost respect at all times. 

    Treating everyone respectfully is more important than any of this. 

    Without respect, we have nothing. 

    If everyone is flying off the handle, NYC will be in chaos. 

    People I know pay New York City law enforcement to harass me constantly. 

    NYPD Internal Affairs can care less. 

    The NYPD has begrudgingly issued me 27 NYPD Police reports and counting from all the times I’ve been a crime victim in Manhattan.

    New York City law enforcement spent a fortune to try and lock me up. 

    It didn’t work.

    I have no criminal record.

    I don’t do anything illegal.

    Now NYC law enforcement is spending millions of dollars to try and get me kicked out of every place I go including your office. 

    That is why I’ll be the most cautious, polite, and respectful person who has ever entered your office. 

    I’m going to have to stop by a few times because I’m about to get my documents together to sue the NYPD. 

    Thank you​ again and have a stellar day.

  • FOIL request I made to obtain records from the New York City Police Department on May 13, 2024.

    I’m trying to obtain all the police reports that I made with the NYPD precincts over the years.

  • The famous in-class Baruch College leg bounce.

    Greetings,

    Right now, I’m sitting in class. 

    I’m not saying a word. 

    Two students, one female, one male, sitting next to me are kicking imaginary field goals over and over for 30 minutes at a time from their desks in class. 

    This is at a business school that is very difficult to get into.

    One student is sitting directly next to me and the other student is sitting right behind him. 

    They are kicking imaginary field goals over and over.

    I have no idea who the students are.

    I’m ignoring them. 

    This has been going on in almost all my classes for the last four years; it’s nothing new.  

    For the past four years I have dozens of Baruch College students crashing into me, shoving their phones in my face, harassing in the bathroom, in the subway stations near school, and much more. 

    I have no idea who any of them are and I never say a word to any of them.

    I just move away.

    In my opinion, people I know pay New York City law enforcement and their civilian lie and scam team to harass me constantly. 

    Of course, NYC law enforcement has Baruch College students harassing me during class. 

    Again, I have no idea who they are, I’m not looking at them, I’m not saying a word. 

    I just see them out of the corner of my eye. 

    The best thing you can do to someone whose job is to start arguments and fights with people on behalf of law enforcement is to ignore them, and that’s what I do. 

    Disclaimers:

    I always treat everyone at Baruch College with the utmost respect at all times. 

    That includes Baruch College staff, professors, security guards, and students. 

    Treating people at Baruch College and CUNY respectfully is more important than anything. 

    I never partake in any controversial conversations at Baruch College under any circumstances. 

    When I’m at Baruch College, I never say anything controversial, not even close. 

    I’m always very cautious regarding the way I act at Baruch College because it’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. 

    I started my own content/journalism enterprise with the information I’ve learned at Baruch College. 

    So far, it’s earned $5.10.

    I have new revenue streams opening up. 

    Hopefully, the number will increase. 

    I would like for more people to find out about how CUNY can help them elevate their lives the way it’s helping me. 

    If people saw how much Baruch College and CUNY did for me in the past three years, they would sign up. 

    Since I started at CUNY, everything I’ve said at LaGuardia Community College and Baruch College is polite and respectful. 

    At Baruch College, I never say anything that’s even close to being offensive or disrespectful to anyone. 

    If someone at Baruch College pours a can of paint on my head and throws my laptop and phone out of the window, I won’t react negatively. 

    Believe me, it’s been tested.

    I will say thank you and walk away. 

    The same thing goes for the supermarket, coworking places, gyms, storage place, etc.

    My main goals at Baruch College are to treat everyone respectfully and graduate.

    I want to clarify a little further because this is so important. 

    I’m not giving any opinions in Baruch College classes or to anyone at Baruch College about controversial local, national, or global current events.

    Anyone at CUNY can say anything they would like. 

    I’m not. 

    There are plenty of topics to speak about that aren’t controversial. 

    I respect everyone’s opinions. 

    Even if a topic isn’t controversial, I’m still very cautious about people’s feelings. 

    Anyone can say anything they want at Baruch College to me or in front of me. 

    You won’t hear a complaint from me. 

    I’m not saying a word about anything even close to controversial. 

    Again, if a Baruch College student says every negative thing they can think of about me to my face, takes all my belongings, and throws them out the window of the vertical building, I will say thank you and walk away. 

    When I’m at Baruch College, I act like I’m under a microscope at all times. 

    There are plenty of places on the internet and outside of Baruch College where I can talk about anything I would like. 

    I don’t have any desire to discuss anything close to controversial with anyone at Baruch College.  

    I never have, and I never will. 

    I don’t socialize with anyone from Baruch College in or outside of Baruch College.

    I’m polite, professional, and respectful to Baruch College students when I’m placed in mandatory in-class student groups. 

    Once class is over, I respectfully keep to myself due to the massive number (thousands every year) of complaints from New York college students against New York college students. 

    I never share any personal contact information with anyone at Baruch College. 

    Respectfully, I’m not discussing any controversial local, national, or global current events with anyone at Baruch College.

    I’m not complaining about anything to anyone at Baruch College.

    Anyone at Baruch College can say anything they want to me or in front of me, and I’m not saying a word. 

    While I’m inside Baruch College, I’m only discussing topics that aren’t controversial. 

    For example, I like how New York City repaved many of the streets. 

    For example, I like the idea pertaining to developing apartments in the Financial District while simultaneously protecting New York City from future storms.

    Treating people respectfully is the most important thing for me at CUNY. 

    I hope everyone reaches their goals. 

    The only person I’m competing with is myself. 

    In my spare time I’m trying to raise money from professional accredited investors. 

    I’m working on a movie about people who take audio and video out of context with witnesses to get people in trouble. 

    For example, people take audio and video from once place to another place with witnesses to get people kicked out of places. 

    I’m also working on raising money for a bunch of additional startups. 

    If it works out I give a massive amount of credit to the professors and staff at CUNY, including Baruch College and LaGuardia Community College.
