** At the same time, other commenters asked what exactly had the nosy neighbor reported that forced the police to respond. If she had simply said that the neighbor was always leaving home at night and never attended church, any desk sergeant or emergency operator could have pointed out to her that he simply worked nights and weekends in spite of her insane ideas about the law. But if she had presented herself as having proof of him selling drugs out of his home, the police department now has a criminal complaint that they have to act on. These commenters have their own stories of neighbors who frequently call the police on them or other neighbors with false accusations that the police wind up dismissing once they've had a chance to talk to the person they were called to investigate.
