Aren't there punishments for false accusations?
At the officer's discretion...
Do it enough times and you'll get the officer who cares, and they'll be so annoyed they'll look at past calls.
I've had to deal with a harasser who was also making false calls to the police about me. Most cops suck, but eventually you get one who does their job.
Do it enough, and you'll get pulled over every day, and ticketed for bullshit.
That's basically what the cops told me. Let him annoy more officers and they'll start letting them know this way. They also started to take lunch on our street just to let him know they were there.
It was pretty wild. I guess cops are lazy and bored!
Oh I know, I was friends with a cop. Heard all the dirty tricks. Especally "obstruction" when you need to pull an excuse out of your ass
It is Florida after all.
Filing charges on these wingnuts is their wettest of wet dreams. They get to play the victim card and call press conferences to scream about how they are maytrs for the cause and fighting the libs. It would validate their existence as they cosplayed every Fascist fantasy.
Cops don't want to deal with this bullshit either. Take a report that will be filed and forgotten forever to placate them. You would really need to be a persistent asshole wasting a lot of their time before they are going to charge you.
