The correct path of action would be, if you have children, to have the correct kind of lawyer on retainer already. This is the unfortunately reality we have.
You do not speak with the police, you calmly but firmly inform them that they can return with a warrant if they think there is something actionable.
You then proceed legal action against the false reporter. Sometimes all you can get is a no contact order, sometimes you can get a stalking injunction, sometimes a full blown restraining order. This is why you want a lawyer ahead of time, they know how to deal with this.
- theturtle 1y agoThat doesn't work as well in areas where people can make anonymous reports. Even where callers can't be anonymous, a lawyer would be needed to get the name of the caller; they don't just hand it out to the subject of the complaint. Couple that with frequent requirements that even obviously-bogus complaints be officially investigated, and it's a shitshow built for busybodies.
- DiabloD3 1y agoFrom what I've seen, in areas that you can make anonymous reports, the cops don't do anything. For example, judges generally won't issue warrants just because an anonymous phone call claimed something. Again, don't let a cop into your house unless they have the magical piece of paper called a warrant.
