Felony Proceedings / Competency & Judicial Oversight
A warrantless arrest by unidentified officers, seizure of a phone without a warrant, and a 45‑day restoration order signed without a hearing.

The case illustrates deep failures in due process, psychiatric ethics, and digital‑evidence handling.

August 2022
The State of Washington vs Shane Lozenich
Civil Rights / Felony Procedure
A felony case involving allegations of threats against the Governor, marked by a warrantless arrest, lack of Miranda warning, and the absence of any transcription or corroborating evidence for the alleged voicemail. During ten months of pretrial detention, Lozenich reported unsafe conditions, a violent assault, and a contested competency evaluation that led to a restoration order allegedly signed before the hearing occurred. Released after serving the equivalent of a full sentence without trial, the case remains pending, raising concerns about due process, psychiatric overreach, and prolonged pretrial incarceration.
June 2024
SCIdpda Bush Hotel vs Shane Lozenich
Housing Rights / Unlawful Detainer
An eviction action filed after Lozenich fell behind on rent due to a ten‑month incarceration. Although a nonprofit offered to pay the arrears, the building manager allegedly refused to accept the payment or provide an invoice. Despite maintaining a payment plan and interpreting a rent‑increase notice as a lease renewal, Lozenich was served with eviction papers shortly after appearing in a televised news interview about neighborhood safety. The case raises questions about retaliation, administrative irregularities, and the intersection of housing instability with prior legal system involvement.
January 2026
Shane Lozenich vs The State of Washington
Civil Rights / Quiet Title
A Quiet Title action seeking to clarify jurisdictional authority over the historically referenced Seattle‑Bremerton Majorat. The filing frames the case as a corrective mechanism to address systemic failures, including due‑process breakdowns and unresolved governance defects. Lozenich proposes international assistance—specifically referencing the Swedish Armed Forces—as a model for neutral oversight where domestic institutions have allegedly failed. The action challenges the legitimacy of existing administrative structures and calls for a judicial reckoning on foundational authority.
