Claudia Ackley of Crestline filed the lawsuit in San Bernardino Superior Court on Jan. 18, spurred by her alleged encounter with multiple Sasquatches. Ackley, described as a "Bigfoot enthusiast and researcher," says she and her daughters saw three Sasquatches on a dusk hike at Lake Arrowhead last year.
"He looked like a neanderthal man with hair all over him," Ackley told the Press-Enterprise. "He had solid black eyes. He had no expression on his face at all. He did not show his teeth. He just stared at the three of us."
Park rangers reassured the Ackleys they'd seen a family of bears, an explanation Ackley didn't much care for. She says she filed the lawsuit because people are "totally vulnerable to these things" due to the state's failure to recognize the Bigfoot threat.
I didn't get very far. Is she claiming that the state is somehow derelict in its duties by failing to protect her from the figment of her imagination, or by failing to protect the figment of her imagination from her?
The Gizmodo link includes a section that says the following (I put that section in bold):
Quote:
Once she and her daughters were safe, Ackley called authorities to report the Sasquatch sighting, but they insisted she had seen a bear. That denial inspired Ackley to file a lawsuit against the California Department of Fish and Wildlife and the state Natural Resources Agency last month, accusing California of dereliction of duty for failing to protect Bigfoot and infringing on her constitutional rights.
What constitutional rights could have been infringed?
