Police Investigation Awareness Tips
Summary
To determine if the police are investigating you, check for warrants by contacting local law enforcement, using online databases, consulting a lawyer, or visiting the courthouse. If a police report is dismissed as unfounded, it means there is no credible evidence to support the claim. If the police doubt a report, you can provide additional evidence, speak with a supervisor, or consult a lawyer. Harassment by another customer, like being mocked for a disability, can be reported to store management, but police involvement may be limited unless it escalates.Full Conversation
