Sad, but what can you do? :((( It's the sausage man who pays the police, he's the one who orders the lemonade-busting raid.

Wow!!!

At least they did not burn them or try by water ;)

Если бы это была его приватизированная улица, кто бы стал возражать.

Due Process

I hope it was not just a call, but he actually submitted an affidavit stating the probable cause (and NOT possible cause) and signed it under oath, as required. Anything less would be a conspiracy to harass, am I wrong?

У них, наверное, пермит должен быть вывешен на видном месте, и усё.

Я про то, что закон не допускает анонимного натравливания полиции на соседа, но судя по прессе, он давно не соблюдается.

А как же neighborhood watch работает?

Вот так, криво, в обход Конституции, и работает.

>Anything less would be a conspiracy to harass
So what would be a due process on the part of the defendant if this were the case?

Alternatively, how one proves the fact of conspiracy to harass?

Прошу прощения - это уже далеко за пределами светского трепа, коим я пробавляюсь.

ага - забоялись!

Lemonade stands are a bad idea. Have you calculated profit margins on it? Negative, I tell you!

Это верно, все деньги в сосисках.

Still, it didn't help him :-)
Read the original:
the sausage man ... says he regrets ever calling police because now all he gets are icy stares from people around town who heard about the story.
