My Story and a Little About Me
My name is Christopher "Chris" Embry. I'm a regular guy who believes in personal freedom, a dedicated volunteer with the local bicycle club, and the incredibly proud owner of a wonderful elderly dog named Hunter. I am currently facing a massive, uphill legal battle, and I humbly need your help to face it.
I want to clear up a major misunderstanding right away: I am not accused of hurting or shooting at any person, and no police officers were ever fired upon. The state is accusing me of shooting and destroying street-level Flock surveillance cameras. Because the prosecution wants to use my case as a harsh public deterrent to stop future camera vandalism, they have piled on an overwhelming, maximum list of heavy-handed charges.
This aggressive approach carries a terrifying reality: without an excellent attorney to fight these inflated accusations in court, I am looking at the possibility of 10 or more years in prison for what amounts to property crimes with no physical victims.
Why Your Support is Urgently Needed
Because the state is treating this as a high-stakes battle over their mass surveillance infrastructure, a legal defense that stands a chance is going to be expensive. In addition to $10,000 to $15,000 just to take the case, the cost to mount a successful defense will likely cost between $15,000 and $20,000 but could go higher if the process drags out, goes to trial, or if many hearings and motions need to happen. Our attorney said that $30,000 overall is very possible if the prosecution refuses to negotiate or if we're required to fight this extensively in court. Loved ones have already completely emptied their pockets just to get me out of jail and buy me a replacement phone (since mine was seized by police), my employer had to let me go as a result of the pending litigation, and my final paycheck simply cannot cover the massive cost of mounting a real defense that will give me a second chance at life.
🐾 Hunter Needs Your Support
Beyond my own freedom, my entire world revolves around my 15-year-old senior dog, Hunter. He has been my absolute anchor and best friend through every hardship for over 14 years. As an elderly pup, his vital medical care is incredibly expensive. He requires twice-yearly vet checkups and lab tests that average $500 each time. He is also on 4 daily medications that cost $150 every single month, plus sudden health flare-ups that routinely spark hundreds of dollars in unexpected vet bills.
Where the Funds Will Go
Every dollar donated will go directly towards a legal defense to give me a second chance at life. By helping cover these legal fees, you also ensure that my final paycheck doesn't get entirely swallowed up by court costs and lawyers. Your generosity ensures that I can afford the vital medical treatments Hunter needs to live comfortably. You aren't just helping fund a legal defense; you are keeping my best friend and I together when he needs me the most.
