What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? wisconsin
Long story kinda made quick, there was an event, they had lots of booths where you got quite a bit of free stuff, they threw out tshirts also. During this time somebody went and pick pocketed what I had in my pocket. Did not get the wallet but then tried walking away. I confronted him and he denied it with the whole 1 hand behind the back thing. He passed it off to a buddy, called security over there, they wouldnt do anything. got the officer on duty at the place and he refused to do anything about it because and I quote. "I am not going to waste my time with the value so small." I then said "That is bull**** because theft is theft and value has no meaning. He then took the cheap way out and kicked me out because I swore. He refused to give me his name or badge number. I then proceeded to call 911 as this was a crime being pick pocketed. They requested I get the officers name and only then would he provide it. He said it so fast I only caught the last part. When I asked him to repeat it he refused and said next time you better listen.
So when the other officer came as I was sitting outside, he said there was nothing he could do as it was a public place and there was to many people to find said person who did the theft. Which I wasnt happy but at least he was nice about it and was very professional. Had really no issues with that part. But the officer that kicked me out wouldnt let me get any info from the guy who stole from me which i made sure we were away from the crowd and I could identify him.
In short that officer refused to do his job due to the value of the items, instead of defusing the situation only escalated it and tried to get myself irate and treated me like crap in short. Is there anything I can do other then file a complaint? I believe he was a Sargent he said but again he said it so fast I could not tell. Any help greatly appreciated, This is not the first time something like this has happened with officers not doing their jobs and blowing myself off, will not be the last im sure.
