Little bit of cop drama.

Little bit of cop drama.
A few minutes ago (9:30 P.M. U.S. Eastern Time) a town police officer knocked on my door. I did not open the door at first. I told him hello and he told me to open up. I asked him what for. He said he was called here and he needed to come in. I asked him if he had a warrant. He said he didn't need a warrant, that he could force the door and I would be responsible for the damage.

I didn't open the door but I went into my mother's room and woke her and told her. She told me to let him in. I did so. He said our downstairs neighbor (we live in a two floor apartment) had called the police department and claimed that we had stairways down to her apartment, we were spying on her through our vents, and that we had climbed down into her walls and vandalized her stove.

He did a check in the rooms and found nothing, of course. After, my mother requested a police report as a record of this event. He gathered some basic information and left. Before he went, he told me that if he is called to a place on the report of a complaint he does not need a warrant.

This country, eh? If my mother had not told me to let him in I probably wouldn't have done it. And I would have been responsible for the damage of his forced entry too.

It sounds like your neighbor is a fucking nut job to me.

Quite literally. It is generally known that she has mental health issues and that she needs medical treatment for them.

Well, there you have it. I was thinking nut job in the literal sense myself and you have confirmed this to be true.

Yeah, unfortunately... if someone calls the police and says that something is going on in your place, they do not need a warrant. The call itself serves as 'probable cause'.

Schizophrenia makes for fun neighbors, doesn't it?

Man that sucks. I guess I can understand why the police doesn't need a warrant in that situation, but I would check that out if something like that happens again.

I hope your neighbour to be warned for making false claims. Infact I think everyone making a claim that does not materialize should be prosecuted...

LastPoet they would not convict her if she is a documented nut job for making false claims, in her mind those claims are real. Paul it sounds like she is schizophrenic with a dash of paranoid delusion.

Yeah, those two things are often found working in cahoots.

It's too bad, neighbors like that tend to be a problem in the long run.
