More details to this question:
The police refuse to give back my original Deed to my home after confiscating it in a disagreement over ownership, which has been proven over and over again in my favor. There's still a disagreement, I still am not living in the house physically due to an illegallity on the premises, squatting. I need and want the Deed back... it is evidence in my favor. How to I go about getting it back by statute or with some legal tact.?

Don't worry about getting the original deed. Go to the County Registrar of Deeds in which the property is located. Get a copy of the filed deed. the deed itself is not as important as evidence that the deed was filed. You can get copies made at the county office.
