Depends on the extent of the background check and the reason for it.  Some background checks are legal, some have to be done with your permission UNLESS you have broken the law or are being investigated.  However, we are not authorized to do criminal background investigations without probable cause.\n\nCheck with an attorney in town.\n\nLet me reiterate.  I am Federal, not city, or state.  You can not do criminal backgrounds on your neighboors and friends.  D.C. monitors this, and you lose your NCIC certifications.

You could always call Non-Emergency 911 for your area and ask to speak to an officer.  Tell them your situation and ask for a police escort.  They will assist you.

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!

With great power comes great responsibility. If you are sitting on your porch and you see your neighbor get mugged, should you call the police? (If you answer no to this, you are a scumbag.)\nPresume that the police are corrupt, self serving and ineffectual. Furthermore, the mugger is much smaller than you and you are well trained and know you could subdue him. Do you get off your porch and intercede? (If you answer no to this you are also a scumbag.)\n\nWe are sitting on our porch. The UN SHOULD be policing the world, but they don't seem to be able to do it very well. We try to let them handle it, but often they cannot. There is evidence of corruption within the UN, kickbacks, nepotism and graft, and that is just in the food for oil program alone! While some may question our agenda and we may seem the neighborhood bully to others, who wlse will step up and do it?\n\nGeez, just read the post above. Wish I had gotten my answer in before Flint's. tough act to follow!

I would suggest taking a Martial arts course and learn to fight.Also letting the police know about him is a good Idea

You're so full of it, and you know it.\nYes, they do, but the cop will accept the first bribe he is offered and he'll tell them who reported them and you and your family will get mobbed. Unless your neighbors are, unlike you, not rancorous neighbors.\nOf course, you could be a nice neighbor and try to make friends with them, and it would probably get you valuable connections, maybe protect you from mobs and everything... but why do that? It's just stupid, right? Being a nice neighbor, who ever heard of something THAT insane?

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.

The officer and the business owner have both CLEARLY violated your right to freedom of speech! I would IMMEDIATELY file a complaint with the U.S. Attorney Generals office, The F.B.I. and your local police cheif, I would also contact every media outlet I could get my hands on with the detailed story. If you have the extra money lying around I would also file a civil suit against both the Officer and the business owner. You have clearly been wronged, and don't even think about stepping down. FIGHT BACK. I've won 3 lawsuits against the police in my lifetime already, and I'm only 21 years old. We the people cannot stand for this outright ILLEGAL behavior by law enforcement. If you follow the proper measures, and take this thing to the "top of the hill" that officer will never work behind a badge again, and the business owner will be liable for so many damages to you he'll be put out of business.

Report your neighbor to the police station nearest your residence because the act is an intrusion into privacy and against the Wire Tapping Law.

Technically, it is not community property.  But you might need an attorney to force this issue since you are married to him.  Another option is to go to the police department and ask to speak with an officer on the matter or the town prosecutor.

This is a good one.  First of all I think that I would call the non-emergency phone number for the police station in your area.  They are full of information.  And would probably know exactly what to do in this kind of situation.  Good Luck finding out where to go.....
