What is the name of your state? ny
Long story short. Last evening a local police officer rang my doorbell and did not wait for me to come to the door, (outside downstairs door) came pounding up my stairs loudly,(I live in a 2 fam home upstairs) and then started pounding as hard as he could on my inside door without identifying himself. It was not until I yelled through the door for the 3rd time," who is it?", scared to death, i might add, that he said it was the police. This all had to do with my posting of garage sale signs in the area btween the "sidewalk and the street", in my neighborhood. There is more, but am I right in thinking that my civil rights have been violated? And if so, what can I do about it?
