Maine:
The police had made two stops at my rental home (address above) in Maine, on Monday/Sunday early morning, around 1:00 regarding a noise complaint. I rent this property to my son, there were four people inside talking, partying and playing music. My son was told by the office that an anonymous call came in, and that is what the officer was responding to. My son turned down the music and closed the windows, and the officer left. The Officer came back again with another officer (house is only about 5 mins from police department), a short time later, and told my son that they received another call, but also indicated that he was just sitting up the street for awhile listening, and could hear the noise.
The officer began asking my son multiple questions, and my son 'had an answer' for everything. The officer than asked if he (and his roommate) would like to go to Jail. My son answered no, but said he didn't think he was doing anything wrong, didn't believe that a call was made because his aunt lives on one side of him and his grandmother on the other side. If they wanted to complain, they would have complained to him or called me (his mother) not the police department. My son went on to state to the officer that "Sorry, but I am alot more afraid of my mother than I am of you".
The officer was offended by this and indicated to my son that he is 'now on his radar' and the officer left the premises.
The next day the officer goes to my son's place of work and issues him a disorderly conduct summons? Shouldn't that have happened at the time of the complaint while the officer was at the residence? There was no warning given to my son. This seems like the beginning of 'being on his radar'? Is this something that would be considered a valid complaint to the chief of police? Since the police ALWAYS win, what can be done?
