    Talking Repeated False Reports To The Police

    In my neighborhood, theere are people that are repeatedly calling the police with phony complaints about me and wanting me arrested. They also purport to be lawyers and call the State with phony charges. They do not like me to talk about the tings in my neighborhood or about the news. They like to know "happy " things. I get tired of listening totheir complaints. I get a copy of their statement back on my e-mail from a person that knows that I'm not a criminal. What action can I take against them?

    Default Re: Repeated False Reports To The Police

    Making a complaint and filing a false report are very different things. Theoretically, they could call the police every day with a different complaint (or code enforcement, or animal control, etc.) about noise, about your kids in their yard, about illegal parking, about their suspicions that you are doing or dealing drugs, and about 10 bazillion other things. But filing a report requires making and signing a statement and carries penalties for knowingly filing a false report. If they are only "complaining" and not "reporting", you'll have to address it a bit differently.

    Typically, a list of complaints deemed to be "unfounded" have to really stack up before law enforcement "gets it" that perhaps this person is using these complaints as a way to harass you (if each and every complaint isn't answered by the same exact officer it could be forever until they notice a pattern). You can always call and ask to talk to the patrol supervisor for that area and express your concerns.
