"You have the right to sue, but if you sue over someone invoking governmental process, which is what you have done, then you come up against the SLAPP statute — the anti-SLAPP statute. This complaint in this case refers to the eviction action and the criminal prosecution. What they did was they tried to influence the outcome of a governmental body of the cops and courts. When you sue people for doing that, then the question is whether or not you're allowed to do that under the SLAPP statute."
