Hmmm, how bizarre. When we had trouble with a contractor, the police knocked on her door and told her a complaint had been filed. Nothing more was required to stop the trouble. When my kid was ill in the car and I stopped (illegally) on the hard shoulder, the police car that investigated pulled back a bit with it's lights flashing until we could continue. My kids have set in police cars many times when they've been monitoring events. I've worked with the police a number of time when organising events.

Where do you live? I want to make sure I never visit there.
