I don't think threatening to call the cops would have any affect my neigbor that would be to my benefit. Most people around here know that if they simply take drugs at home, without people dropping around frequently, to make buys, the police, even if informed of the drug use, won't make an arrest. If they see drugs lying around while they are there for another reason, sometimes they will make an arrest. It depends upon how badly they are itching to arrest the person for <i>something</i>. Other times they will pretend they didn't see the drugs. If she found out who called and complained, or figured out it must have been me, she'll retaliate by claiming harrassment by the other tenant, me, in which case the cops have to come by and check me out to make sure I'm not harrassing her (I already went thru 3 of these visits from the cops, getting a stern warning "If you are harassing her, stop, or we will have to arrest you). If I claimed harrassment, due to cigarette smoke being a harassing agent, they would do the same thing, except take it less seriously because she is a female, and males aren't supposed to feel harassed by females, in the cop's minds, unless they are whiny nuts.<br><br><br><br>
The only thing I can think of is to get 2 persons to gang up on her. That usually works. If it is a one on one thing of each person claiming harrassment, the cops don't know who is harrassing who. But if 2 different people make separate complaints about someone say playing loud music at night, then they will drop by quickly (within an hour or 2) and emphaticly tell that person to not do that again. If the same 2 complain over and over, eventually they will issue an appearance ticket, probably.<br><br><br><br>
So I'd have to find a neigbor who dislikes her enough to complain about her.<br><br><br><br>
She screams all kinds of obscenities at her 10-year old son, threatens verbally to cut his head off and stuff it down his neck or something (I forget the exact details), and tells him how stupid he is, and how he will never amount to anything, but I never heard her actually hit him.<br><br>
