Around 10am this morning while I was working from home I had my screen open to my patio. I hear someone say "yo yo yo" they were really close to my patio. So I go to check it out and it's this random black guy he starts talking to me like he knows me and asks if I can let him into the building. I tell him to fuck off and close my patio off and lock it. I call the cops by the time they get here he's already gone and the cops just shrug and tell me he's probably a homeless guy looking for shelter.
In the next few hours I'm told by another neighbor that he got up on her deck which is on the 3rd level and wouldn't go away. Cops never went up there instead just drove around. Another girl told us that same guy tried to follow her home a few weeks ago.
What are my legal rights here if the cops won't do anything but this guy continues to hang around and harass people? I'm not afraid of him myself but I do fear this could possibly end up bad for one of the female neighbors. [Reply]

Please post more about your daughter’s bum [Reply]

Tell him you are armed and show you are armed and he needs to move on. Then call the cops again.
When I say show him you are armed, please keep it in a holster unless it’s needed to be pulled. [Reply]

Sequence of events is a little confusing. Feels like from the POV of the cops when they arrived you told them he was no longer there so why would they have gone and looked on the balcony?
If while they were there they had an indication and he did more be in the area and was actively climbing the building there may have been more for them.
Maybe I am misunderstanding the post though. Did the police get word from you or those other people at any point about the escalation on the higher floor? [Reply]
Man this is why I live in the country. When this shit happens I open the door with my pistol or shotgun. And depending on far I see them coming I pull my Winchester lever action. [Reply]
