A security company placed a boot on my vehicle with a note saying it would be towed in the morning. When I called them the next morning to remove the boot, my truck had vanished along with the boot (according to the security company, it had not been towed). I made a police report that morning. Coincidentally, even though security says they didn't tow it, they found it across the street in another complex with the boot in the back seat. I ended up having to pay $250 to get my truck from the towing company and then called security three times to give them the boot with no response. Now the security company is trying to sue me, saying I still have their boot. What can I do?

I was charged with a drug distribution offense 15 years ago in Fairfax County, VA, under coercion by the police. I was forced to plead guilty by my public defender to avoid a 50-year prison sentence, despite never having sold drugs. The police officer coerced me into obtaining drugs for him by promising a job, and I was subsequently arrested. I want to clear my name and seek justice. What steps can I take to vacate this conviction, and is it possible to compel the officer to take a lie detector test?
