Noise Complaint: Part 4

I woke up again this morning to the sound of my neighbor's bass, so, again, I called the police. Again, he was gone before the officer arrived.

The officer and I chatted for a while, and he's under the impression that I have a very clear case against my neighbor. He thinks the magistrate should have no problem finding him guilty. I noted his name, in case I need to have him back me up later.

Incidentally, I did a Google search for him to make sure I was spelling it correctly, and it turns out he was the subject of a very controversial legal spat last autumn. I watched a video where he was seen firing a taser into a girl's thigh during a protest in Oakland (the borough where University of Pittsburgh is located) over military recruitment. It looked to me like he was using necessary and appropriate force, and it appears the courts found the same, as he's still on duty.

He told me the next step is probably for the magistrate to send a summons to my neighbor. I suppose I'll get one, too.

I think it would really help my case if I could get an officer over here to listen to the noise and make a report out of it, so in the meantime, I'll keep trying.
