本数据集记录了签署人杰弗里·J·西尔吉耶（Jeffrey J. Siergiej）于2025年间，尝试以电子提交（e-filing）方式向乔戴维斯县巡回法院（案件编号：2025-DV-7）递交法律动议、请愿书及佐证证物的多次尝试。尽管其严格遵守程序指引，所有提交尝试均遭到系统性阻挠，导致签署人无法以当面、电子邮件或电子提交门户的方式递交关键文件。

本数据集涵盖：
1. 与巡回法院书记员及副书记员的往来通信，用以记录提交过程中遭遇的阻碍；
2. 针对因行为监控（私家侦探的观察与监视）所造成的胁迫的说明，阐释外部监控如何改变行为并阻碍诉诸司法的途径；
3. 带时间戳的记录，用以展示失败或遭拦截的提交尝试。

法律与科学背景：
行为监控已被证实会影响法律及社会场景下的人类行为（例如：米尔格拉姆实验，1963年；福柯《规训与惩罚》，1977年）。法院已承认，胁迫、恐吓或系统性阻挠会损害宪法权利的行使，包括：
- 正当程序与诉诸法院的权利：*Lewis v. Casey*，518 U.S. 343 (1996)——系统性障碍剥夺获得法律救济的有效途径；
- 自行辩护权（pro se）受胁迫情形：*Faretta v. California*，422 U.S. 806 (1975)——包括在抗议情况下的自我代理权利；
- 行为对法律参与的影响：根据民权框架（《美国法典》第42编第1983条），被观察的行为与心理压力可构成可诉的阻碍行为。
