To ask if anyone has ever reported you to the police

[Fakeid7]

I have been for something I shouldn’t have been

Er yes, I fink I might 'ave been.

Yep the neighbours who were harassing us who we'd reported the police.
They reported us in retaliation.
They didn't get anywhere with it cos they were actually the ones in the wrong but it just added to the harassment. And they reported my child (age 8 at the time) claiming she was harassing them (fyi no she wasn't they were just truly awful people)

Yes! Ex called the police to say that i was purposely poisoning our then 2 year old, who has many allergies, causing her to have allergic reactions and trying to pin them on him. That my home was filled with rats and cat poo. Social services called me to inform me of his rant and they could see his call was really about our coparenting conflict as he barely discussed the kids, and that we would have a police welfare call to just tick the boxes. Kids were amazing when the police surprised us one Sunday morning with us all in our pj's and my hairy legs out 😄 🤣 worked to my benefit, as it meant I had the police corroborate that my home is perfectly safe in Family Court. But i was worried and panicky as i just felt judged. Ex is an idiot who likes to call the police regularly. None have been taken further, but I've been told what he said and it was more horrific than the allegation above, none of it was true or they were things he did.

I was attacked by the neighbours dog and coincidentally had a miscarriage later that day. It was awful at the time.
A few years later, they got a new puppy which just kept barking at us through the fence. I told the neighbour she needed to train it or we would absolutely be going to the authorities, no neighbourly mediation.
She got in first, told them I said I'd poison the dog not once but three times which is an unbreakable spell. The poor rural community support officer had to say it out loud.
She waited till DH was away and the kids were home from school for extra impact. She's got a log book over 20 years now. Bird strikes, wind blown recycling bags, I'm to blame.
She tried to sell her house a few years ago, I do hope it's on the solicitors declaration.

OMG you’re suspected of maleficium in 2026 - I’m so jealous! (Early modern witchcraft nerd here) 😂

No, not yet. 🫣

My old neighbour thought the alleyway that ran between her house and a green area in an estate was hers, it absolutely wasn't. She used to peep out the window waiting for us to go down there and she even hit my friend.
the idiot woman called the police on me for 'bombing her wheelie bin' because I put a carton of orange juice in there.

I did eventually end up bombing her bin with a bottle of coke and some mentos to create a huge avalanche for her being such a moody pillock to us kids on the estate outside playing.

moved house after that and never saw her again.

Yes. In the early days of email someone set up a hotmail account and used my names and sent death threats to some people at my work. I was extremely close to being arrested but I could prove to the officers I was somewhere without internet access on the dates the emails were sent. (It was a very long time ago)

the covid thing is insane

Yes, in Birmingham in the late 1980s. I was on a bus and a ticket inspector got on. I'd absent-mindedly chewed my paper ticket. The inspector said that he couldn't read the destination on my ticket (I thought it was still legible) and therefore he had to assume that I was fare-dodging. The driver denied any recollection of how much I'd paid. As a law-abiding and rather strident young woman, I wasn't having any of this and refused to get off the bus, so it was stopped and the police were called. I got a comfortable ride all the way to my front door in a patrol car and was more careful with my bus tickets after that.

My friend was reported by her neighbour for truancy with her young son "driving him around when he should have been at school" and they apparently said she was drinking as well just to make the police attend

The police arrived at her house just as they were getting back from a long morning at a teaching hospital, where her little boy, who was born terminally ill, was having his weekly check up and treatments for cancer and his other conditions.

That was in England and there were no consequences for the neighbour who was acting out of pure spite.
I think there would be charges brought against the neighbour for malicious reports or wasting police time if that had happened in my home country.

im sorry that happened to you. ive had police come out for psychosis also but they were kind

Yes.
Won't say anymore as I am in the process of suing.

No one down our street clapped ever. There was a young tube video filming people in our area clapping at the door. They drove up our road and no one was out

I had the Police visit and accuse me of causing a crash, when I was at university. They came when I was out and then a couple of days later, demanding to see my car.

I didn't have a car. I did have a blue Suzuki motorbike, with the same reg as the red Vauxhall Astra reported to have cut a skip lorry up, resulting in it knocking a traffic light down. I showed him the bike and he insisted that I should own up!

He wanted to know where I'd been the previous Friday and I told him St Abbs Head. "Oh, I suppose you can prove that, then?" he sneered.

Well, yes - 3 geology lecturers and 45 other geology students were on the coach with me. I suggested that the driver had crashed, come up with an excuse and made up a number plate. Apparently, that made me a smart arse.

I ended up getting a lecturer to write me a letter and went to the station with it and my bike documents. After a few minutes speaking to the bemused desk sergeant, he told me I wouldn't be hearing anything more!

no but i did get reported to the RSPCA about "my" dog (i didnt have a dog !!). the inspector was really threatening and wouldnt except that there was no dog and had never been one...i lived in a tiny 1 bed upstairs flat and was out all day....working at an RSPCA boarding kennel !!!

Yep me and my bestie were trying to track into our flat because we were pissed and locked out. I distinctly remember saying "We're not burglars we're just idiots"

So the mad bitch rang the police on us and they came out a fortnight later

That’s insane!

Can’t wait to read whatever article these stories are going to be written up in.

Or maybe the OP really will come back and give some more information, but I’d be wary about sharing your stories on this type of thread.

No but I reported exDP to the police for domestic abuse, on the advice of my GP snd Women's Ajd. A specialist officer visited me in my new home and told me that he hadn't abused me and rambled on for ages about how she has a duty to safeguard him. I was furious!

Not illegal, so why did she even report you?

The police absolutely would not, and did not, come to your house because someone reported you for 'not clapping during Covid'. The police are fully aware that this isn't any kind of crime or disorder and would have told your neighbour that.

If the police came round, the neighbour would have told the police something else instead / as well.
