Are the police allowed to investigate someone for a crime based on a citizan who keeps complaining to the police "off the record

Asked by a user in Buffalo, NY - over 1 year ago.

I would suggest that you file a complaint with the Police Agency involved, and then meet with an attorney who handles civil litigation to see if there are any remedies available that could include an injunction or restraining order. You may want to discuss the matter with the District Attorney for your county to assess whether any criminal charges are possible such as Falsely reporting an Incident, Harassment, etc. Good luck.
