As someone who had this happen to my rape case in Tampa in 2013, is there any recovery here?

I lived in Tampa for 6 years, I felt the culture was very "engage me appropriately or get out of my way," very dominant-seeking. The cops I encountered (as well as stories from friends) were almost always extremely aggressive even for minor instances expressing that you're wasting their time if you don't have hard-proof evidence and 5 people pointing fingers. When I called the non-emergency police phone to report a rape from 2 weeks before, they asked if I had physical evidence and I said no, they hung up. Twice.

This is what I'm hoping to do too! I'm studying speech pathology but model now. Hopefully I can be in your shoes one day!

Is there evidence that the mental health facilities that house the Baker acted-victims are profiting from the abundance of these cases?

I'm almost willing to think they push on the cops to act this way, similar to the push with private prisons and their threat of shutting down if they don't "fill up the beds."

As someone who is a dependent but their parents make a combined $150,000 so I'm not eligible for subsidized loans, but I still pay for my own school, are there going to be any changes for taxes in loans for people in my situation?

I get taxed 9% on $5k a year loans, and because it's unsubsidized and I make minimum wage I get taxed faster than I can earn. They even send me an email with it rising every time "Your loans increase at $1.64 a day!"
