    To protect your email account, the best thing to do is have a complex password, not related to anything that people know about you, so they would never guess it. Within the rules established by your email provider, use Capital letters, small letters, numbers and special symbols (special symbols may or may not be allowed). Here is an example (but don't use this one). G!cn8qw5kp.

    If you think about it a little, you can come up with a sequence that makes sense to you, that you can remember easily.

    No, there's nothing you can sue for, and you're not of age to bring suit anyway.

    You sure can! You could go get a life and stop trying to find ways to sue people who have done nothing that would be considered by even the most slimy and desperate ambulance chaser.
    Seriously go out and run around or something.
    If you can't manage that, considering you are so interested in a career in law enforcement, you could try doing actual research before you come to the forums and waste everyone's time.

    There's no action to take. He asked for your e-mail address, you said No, he made a dumbass statement.

    So?

    Go outside and play, kid. You're bothering us.
