What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? MA
My husband has been suspended from our local police force pending an investigation. One of the other officers has been harassing me. It started with following me a couple times, staring as I go through a construction area where he is directing traffic, making a motion with his hand like pointing a gun at me and now at a local event passed by rubbing up against me, hitting my butt and mumbling "I'll get you". What can I do if I don't trust the chief of police (I think that him and some of the officers are dirty and had a hand in the accusations my husband is under investigation for). The chief once made the remark that "if you don't fit in with the others leave the department or they will get rid of you". I know the officer who is harrassing me has tried to get my husband fired by telling the chief that my husband was following him when he was on duty. This officer has a history of violent background from bar fighting to beating his wife. Where can I go to? Is harassing people a crime?
