Do police harrass your neighborhood?

I have three cops in my town and they all drive by my house 5-6 times a day. I've never been in trouble, so I can't figure out why they do this.

This is a question you could ask at your neighbourhood police station.  Guessing, as an ordinary citizen, I doubt very much if they would have to, since it would probably interfere with their work.

Your downstairs neighbors are carrying out a campaign of harassment against you.\n\nThis is ILLEGAL, and you can get help.\n\nFirst, do the best you can to document everything they do - take pictures of any damage they cause, keep whatever written records you can of any kind of false legal complaint they file against you, tape any threats they make to you verbally or by phone and keep a "harassment diary" - take a notebook and every time they harass you, either you or your boyfriend write down, IN DETAIL every thing they do.\n\nMeanwhile, contact your local police department, ask to speak to a detective, and file a formal complaint. Then go to your county courthouse (with your boyfriend, if possible) and file for an Order of Protection.\n\nOnce this Order of Protection is granted, if your neighbors continue harassing you, you can call the police on them - they will be in contempt of court every time they harass you, and they CAN AND WILL GET LOCKED UP.\n\nSitting in a holding cell has a way of getting people's undivided attention - hopefully, when the cops slap the handcuffs on them, they'll calm the hell down, and stop bothering you and your boyfriend.\n\nGood luck!

No, for the reason that if you could, stalkers would do it.  Call the police.

Yes, always remember that this is true. Cops have a badge a gun and a right. The are there to serve and protect, and in this case the owner of the business. Do you realize that even though you feel that you are doing nothing illegal, if something was to happen at that business later on that you will come immediately under suspicion. Just because you were there.

Hypothetically, he may run your plates and harass you, pull you over, do vehicle checks, breath tests or even have a chat to you on your doorstep about the incident.  But more than likely he will do nothing because of a few reasons.\nA- No cop mates to act as "convenient" witnesses to whatever you did\nB- Police are professionals, and unless you assaulted him or someone else etc etc, he is "off duty".\nC- No offence, because I understand your hypothetical position, and it was a great question ( i do mean that) but police get given daily jobs/assignments, and probably have bigger fish to fry.\n\nGood Luck " )

My first instinct is to say that you should call the police and file a report at the next opportunity. The police are usually very understanding and polite about this. Given how many of them work odd shifts during at least part of their career, they are likely to be sympathetic. What they will actually do depends on the situation and the laws on the books. Sometimes, just a police car rolling through the neighborhood is all you really need.\n\nThe mailbox thing is likely to be a federal offense. If it ever happens again, call your local postmaster and see if they'll do anything.\n\nIf you have any sort of home owners' association, you might be able to take this up with them, but I wouldn't bother. Your neighbors sound like trash. They're not going to listen to anyone without the proper authority.

Cops want you to fear them. They are out to control everything involved in arrests. They would let you sing all day if it wernt for the Meranda rights. Even then they try to get you to talk before the merandize you. and anything you say will be used aganst you in court. The best bet is to tell them you want a lawyer every time you talk to one. Whether you are under arest or not. Once you ask for a lawyer they can not make you talk and if they do you can sue them for harassment.

Had to call the police on several occasions mostly domestic violence stuff. Neighbors fighting. Scaring me to thinking they were going to seriously hurt one another. Police came talked to them and they left. NO big deal. It gets put on record. Too many calls and they get fined or arrested. Some neighbors appreciate me calling some think I need to mind my own business. But I could never live with myself If anything were to seriously happen and send one of them to a hospital or their grave and I did not do anything to help.

Call your local police department and ask.

You could go to the station and file a complaint in most places.  But be careful with that, because police generally don't like it and try to look out for each other.\n\nThe best thing to do, if you witnessed this is contact that person's attorney.
