My question is not for pro-police attorneys which two responders below seem to be and involves defamation in the state of: slander.
I sent a police Chief an e-mail that his administrative employee sent to me when off-duty because it contained a statement I did not appreciate because I felt the comment was immoral and not upholding their code of ethics policy of the police station. The Chief said that nothing would take place. I was later informed by a person that a parent of the employee told them how the Chief advised them to warn a separate person (who was named in my e-mail) about me, but I never made a statement of a threat toward that individual nor did I commit a crime. The whole situation seems defamatory and against my freedom of speech.
I have three questions about the above situation.
1. How do I find out exactly what the Chief of Police said?
2. If the Chief did tell the parent of the employee to warn an individual, that I mentioned in the e-mail, about me. Is it legal to tell one person to warn another person about a third person if someone never committed a crime nor threat?
3. Should I keep the e-mail for the rest of my life so they do not modify it to frame me?
