December 27, 2023

Dear Utah Congresswoman-Elect Celeste Maloy, 

This is a friendly courtesy carbon-copy to you and your Congressional staff members  on all of this (below).

I am very grateful to you for your support for safe sleeping conditions for me as I lie alone on a bed I own inside my fully locked solo-occupancy studio rental apartment unit on the Ninth Floor of a HUD-subsidized senior citizens apartment complex at 535 South 200 East in downtown Salt Lake City. I am a lifelong single gentleman and a longtime celibate (ever since one total day in 1995) white adult gentleman. I always sleep alone on my own bed.

I hope you have a very successful and healthful New Year in your new position of leadership as my and many other Utahns' duly elected and first-rate member of Congress!

Sincerely and Best Wishes,

constituent John Kevin McMillan of Salt Lake City.

Subject: How to Exclude Convicts From Our UT Personal Life?

December 27, 2023

Dear Utah State House Majority Leader Mike Schultz,

Best Wishes to you and your relatives and friends and colleagues this Holiday Season.

In response to your greatly appreciated December 6, 2023, reply letter to me in which you invited me to share concerns of mine with yourself, I would like to offer you this additional brainstorming letter:

----I am concerned about the possibility that vigilant and  law-abiding permanently alcohol-free, lifelong tobacco-free single adult white male private citizens and American citizens  in Utah, I among those  honorable Utahns and American citizens, are currently hindered  in their (and in my own) goal of limiting their (my) off-duty social life to other law-abiding American citizens who, like themselves (or myself, in my case), do not have any criminal-conviction record.

The barrier  in achieving that personal goal in my own off-duty life may have been caused in part  by recent  Utah Legislature action that may have approved expungement or removal of numerous types of  criminal convictions  from  Utahns' criminal- conviction records. 

During my leisuretime here in Salt Lake City, Utah,  when I meet a new prospective personal friend or new prospective dating partner for myself or new prospective personal acquaintance for myself, the individual I am meeting with in person is currently  apparently authorized to assure me that "I (the new acquaintance) do not have any criminal- conviction record". He or she  is apparently not required by law to volunteer to me that one or more criminal convictions he or she previously incurred have been expunged or removed from their  own  record with official  approval from the State Government of Utah.

As I'm sure you are very aware,  Utah House Majority Leader Schultz, many law-abiding American citizen Utahns  each year are victimized by "personal friends" or "personal acquaintances" or "friendly neighbors"  of theirs in Utah whose criminal background and criminal intent had been withheld from themselves. The first-rate  non-fiction television series "Forensic Files" on a year-round basis  profiles shocking cases in which the victim until the moment  of the violent crime that injured or murdered themselves   had  regarded the perpetrator as being "an honorable friend" or "trusted and kind neighbor".

I am concerned that expungements of criminal records that have apparently occurred here in Utah are leaving truly honorable and law-abiding Utahns such as myself "in the dark", so to speak, when each of us attempts to pursue online research in order to simply confirm a prospective personal  "friend's" status as an honorable Utahn with no criminal-conviction record, and specifically no criminal conviction that was ever expunged.

----I am concerned about the likelihood that many of the violent conflicts that occur between crime suspects and police officers in Utah were triggered by the suspect's prior  knowledge that "there is a warrant out for my own arrest". 

Many of the crime suspects apparently  resist arrest because they believe that "if the cops arrest me, it will ruin my life or be fatal to me---so I have nothing to lose from refusing  to cooperate with the arresting officer". The decision by the suspect to physically assault the arresting officer is apparently based on the suspect's mistaken perception that if the suspect injures or immobilizes the police officer, that officer would simply  "give up" on attempting to arrest the suspect, so the suspect could then somehow  "escape arrest", the suspect apparently believes.

State House Majority Leader Schultz, I am sharing this concern of mine in the hope that some new state law here in Utah might help, such as an Automatic Felony Crime Conviction against any crime suspect  in Utah who has a warrant out for his arrest and then resists arrest of himself  by a police officer here in Utah.

-----In view of the increased risk here in Utah of violence  against police officers by desperate or hostile  crime suspects with a warrant out for their arrest, I hope the Utah House will be willing to authorize state funding for an in-depth new study that identifies the gender, racial and ethnic and religious identity, state or nation of birth, nation of citizenship, socioeconomic status, drug or alcohol or tobacco or vaping addiction, if applicable, affiliation with organized crime,  if applicable, and repeat offender status, if applicable, of  each  suspect with a warrant out for his or her arrest. 

The proposed new study in Utah  might help identify strategies for reducing the level of violence toward Utahn police officers by suspects with warrants out for their arrest----- and for INCREASING crime suspects' level of cooperation with an arresting law enforcement officer here in Utah.

----I may have mentioned this to you already, but I  am concerned about the possibility that the Utah Department of Public Safety state law enforcement agency may not currently specifically  label as such any and all "Road Rage"-related crimes that occur here in Utah. It is crucial toward deterrence of Road Rage crimes here in Utah that the DPS database offer law enforcement officers full and immediate access to specific statistics and specific factual reports about each and every Road Rage crime that ever  occurs  in our state.

In view of a current or expected future  increase   here in Utah in the number of Pedestrian  Rage incidents  or Scooter Rage incidents  or Motorcyclist Rage incidents or Moped Rider Rage Incidents, should the Utah House also require that the Utah DPS data bases be programmed to specifically  compile Road Rage statistics under specific  categories such as Automobile Driver Road Rage, Truck Driver Road Rage,  Pedestrian Road Rage, Scooter Road  Rage,  Motorcycle Road Rage, or Moped Driver Road Rage?

---I am concerned about the possibility that a high percentage of  Utahns of today may not be covered by a Catastrophic Illness  Health  Insurance policy or "Catastrophic Home  Collapse" Home Insurance policy that offers adequate coverage to those Utahns when they  are subjected  to a Catastrophic Injury or Catastrophic Collapse of their own home here in our state.

It likely that Catastrophic Injuries and major damage to or destruction of  homes in Utah play a major role in the decision by many Utahns each year to file for personal bankruptcy or professional bankruptcy in our state.

Should the Utah House approve new legislation that makes it easier or more affordable for Utahns to obtain Catastrophic Insurance policies for themselves and  their spouse or children?

----I am concerned about the possibility that the Utah Legislature possibly has not done enough to fully protect any and all Utahn employers' legal right here in Utah to REFUSE to hire any job applicant with profane or obscene graffiti or gang-related graffiti or criminal-intent-confessions graffiti on their own arm  or fingers or face or forehead or neck or upper chest, or on any other part of the applicant's  body that would be visible if  that prospective new employee got hired and  wore a uniform while on duty  inside or at that new workplace for himself  in Utah.

House Majority Leader Mike Schultz, I hope this additional public policy-minded brainstorming letter is helpful to you and your other hard-working and idealistic  colleagues in the Utah House of Representatives of the Utah State Legislature.

Sincerely and Best Wishes,

John Kevin McMillan, a permanent resident of Utah and lifelong tattoo-less single adult white British-German American citizen who looks forward to myself being inclusive toward  tattoo-less and law-abiding, wholesome, friendly, non-profane, facially cleanshaven, politely masculine, alcohol-free, tobacco-free, white northern European-ancestry  Utahn gentlemen ages 21 to 66 in my own social life and personal life in 2024 here in Salt Lake City.
