In almost 20 years, I've only had to file one police complaint ever. It was noise - a lot of it - at 3 am. Apparently I was not the only one who called too. The next time they did it, I just cut the power off to the floor they rented.
@@EliChristmanI have never called the police in my 32 years of life, but I have called the FBI to drop a dime in an illegal business. They came and shut the place down.

I'm confused, if these calls are legitimate they should result in charges of some kind right? Example repeated noise ordinance violations can be ticketed and go to a court, which a judge can sentence a person to fines, it seems like they either have no evidence to file any charges, citations or infractions or are they attempting to circumvent legal proceedings. Sounds shady all the way around 🤨
So only two people receiving these ? Sounds like targets. If they're stretched that thin and no one is actually breaking a law why even bother showing up. This is ridiculous. You get billed for karen calls now.
2 people so far. If it sticks, more may follow. The average citizen who has very few calls to the police should be protected. Pestering any person or organisation with repeated calls of no valid concerns should be criminal, as this man is alleged to do for content to his channel. He's disgusting.
Also note that , on average , police are at his house every 3 days. He causes trouble with excessive calls, then posts how police are trying to silence him. He could be like 99 % of the population which has about zero contact with police but he chooses not to.
I work with the police, this happens a lot. We have several people that call us multiple times a week, to report things like kids walking down the alley, the neighbor mowing while they are trying to take a nap, you name it. Some people just want attention, and calling 911 is how they get it.
The news went easy on this guy. One look at his RUclips channel, and this guy is a frauditor and a liar. He purposely puts himself into situations where the police must get called and tries to get them in a catch 22 situation where he can file a lawsuit for money. This guy 100% deserves these fines.

What exactly does the city of Lowell spend tax payer money on? The cities budget problems and lack of employee's does not give them a right to bill citizens who have already paid their taxes for these services.. Shame on them!.. I don't care how many calls they get to the same address, that is what we pay taxes for!!.. Ax Mi Tax is looking better and better!!! END PROPERTY TAXES!
I, as a citizen & licensed security officer; since 2000, Florida; can say you can call a PD or sheriffs non emergency line, 📞 . I'd add 108 calls for a private residence seems high.
So now you have to decide if you can afford to call the police. It’s bad enough that it takes them hours to arrive but now it costs hundreds of dollars on top of that. Time for a lawsuit
If there’s a legitimate reason, then he’s justified to call. If a law has been broken, someone pays the price. Sounds like a mediator needs to be brought in to resolve this issue between neighbors.
This is so unlawful...what are they trying to set a precedent that if you call the police 100 times on someone you don't like...they will also be billed for it..
This dude needs to turn down his music. If you are going to be that guy on your block, expect noise complaints. It's a nuisance property, pure and simple.
Let's hope you never have a neighbor who hates your lawn decor, thinks your grass is ugly, or just generally dislikes you. With that logic, you couldn't argue because they'd automatically be right no matter how true what they said about you was. There are two sides to every story.
@@evajung666 Police deal with criminal issues and ordinance violations, such as blasting music. If "lawn decor" or "ugly grass" is an ordinance violation in your city, then neighbors are within their right to complain.
There's enough going on here for a documentary. Although, it would seem, that the police department is tired of dealing with him. There has not been enough information released.
So if I work security and file a lot of police reports and CT's I'm going to get charged or my company? That's messed up. Your now discouraging people from calling and are now making your own community unsafe.
Ok, so what about the bill you received from EMS or the Fire Department when transported to a hospital by ambulance? They are funded also. You use them one time in 20 years and he a $800 bill. Which you have to hope your medical insurance covers and pays.
POLICE DO NOT PROTECT TAXPAYERS! (Castle Rock vs Gonzales 545 U.S. 748 (2005)! Supreme Court has ruled: The police "Serve and Protect" the state", NOT ITS CITIZENS who pay their wages"!
If you just passed the ordinance,then you can't go back to past times before the ordinance was past and try to bill him for passed complaints,that's grounds for a lawsuit.
He seems to be the victim of targeted enforcement of an ordinance they was created solely to target him. That’s not how civic government is supposed to work.
This guy simply abuses the system and SHOULD be held accountable my sister was just like him call 911 over ANYTHING even a plane flying over head absolutely ridiculous.
So when do the people get to start suing? If a department has a low case solve rate, do the people get reimbursement? Seems like so many departments are more interested in parking their cruisers and writing speeding tickets than they are in actually investigating criminal cases.
Just to clarify, this dude calls the cops on all of his neighbors. Police department are tired of his antics because they dont have a 911 abuse law. So the city came up with billing as a way around it.
So, in Lowell I can just have the local police repeatedly sent to someone's house until they get billed for the cost. It's a 2 for 1 harassment system. The cops are always at the door for no good reason (no mention of any arrests or fines for violations) and then comes the bill for expenses caused by someone elses actions.
120 interactions sounds very much like harassment to me ! Noise complaint is iffy ,depends on subjective evidence ! Time ,place, decibel level ! Parking ? Put a ticket on winshield your done ! He’s staring at me ! Warn him and charge him ! Some neighbors are just A holes on both sides of fence ! But charging citizen for cop calls , total BS !
Seems like the people of Lowell need to do an audit of their city's finances. If they have 6 FT officers and so much crime they can't deal with it all, I don't see how billing a citizen TWICE for public services fixes their crime problem.
Sounds a whole lot like corruption at the city government level and that's what needs to be changed. Doesn't matter how many times you have to involve the police in a dispute as they are tax payer funded. I would go to the city council and either get that ordinance (which isn't a law) changed and if they don't get rid of it I'd investigate the police and their role in the ordinance and their financial involvement with the city council as this could be deep seated in the community. Especially in a small town. They claim that these calls are keeping them from more serious calls. Make them prove it. They have the ability to prioritize calls and leave a call if they are needed for a more serious situation. Don't sit by and co-sign their rotten Robinhood justification for fleasing the public
Just tried to make a complaint about this…they hung up repeatedly…sent me to voicemail and ignored me. They are screening my number so they can avoid taking accountability. No transparency here in this city. You don’t have to be a resident to make a complaint. They violated my rights…as well as this man’s rights. You cannot charge someone because others call about you.
Wait a min… so you telling me this small town with a very low number of police officers have a lot going on lol 🤷🏽♀️… it seems as if they don’t have a lot going on.. so how is it a public safety issue ? … am I wrong for thinking along this narrative ?
If this was applied equally to all calls, then the guy would not have a case. But here it sounds like a bunch of trashy neighbors keep beefing and calling the cops on each other, and the city is tired of it. Yes the city could use another call, and the guy needs some social skills training. The other neighbors should be billed for bogus calls. All of them need a cease - Desist order
They specifically made an ordnance to punish him😂😂 that arbitrarily fines who the local government say’s is guilty of wasting resources. 😂😂😂😂 it will never hold in state level courts
so the neighbors call the fuzz on the dude excessively for no reason other then they just dont like him, and the dude gets billed every time. thats def not okay and not appropriate.

Just to clarify, this dude calls the cops on all of his neighbors. Police department are tired of his antics because they dont have a 911 abuse law. So the city came up with billing as a way around it.
Lawyer up and sue the city for harassment and undue hardship for a big paycheck, let's see how the city budget strains some more with power trips.
So, in Lowell I can just have the local police repeatedly sent to someone's house until they get billed for the cost. It's a 2 for 1 harassment system. The cops are always at the door for no good reason (no mention of any arrests or fines for violations) and then comes the bill for expenses caused by someone elses actions.
120 interactions sounds very much like harassment to me ! Noise complaint is iffy ,depends on subjective evidence ! Time ,place, decibel level ! Parking ? Put a ticket on winshield your done ! He’s staring at me ! Warn him and charge him ! Some neighbors are just A holes on both sides of fence ! But charging citizen for cop calls , total BS !
Seems like the people of Lowell need to do an audit of their city's finances. If they have 6 FT officers and so much crime they can't deal with it all, I don't see how billing a citizen TWICE for public services fixes their crime problem.
calling 120 times because you're bored. In any city there are "super users" of 911. it distracts from the real emergencies.
He lost me as soon as he said his "RUclips Channel" lol😅
So if I don't call in do I get a check from the city??????
Sounds a whole lot like corruption at the city government level and that's what needs to be changed. Doesn't matter how many times you have to involve the police in a dispute as they are tax payer funded. I would go to the city council and either get that ordinance (which isn't a law) changed and if they don't get rid of it I'd investigate the police and their role in the ordinance and their financial involvement with the city council as this could be deep seated in the community. Especially in a small town. They claim that these calls are keeping them from more serious calls. Make them prove it. They have the ability to prioritize calls and leave a call if they are needed for a more serious situation. Don't sit by and co-sign their rotten Robinhood justification for fleasing the public
The calling party should be getting the bills
Sounds like the neighbor is the one causing the issues.
Just tried to make a complaint about this…they hung up repeatedly…sent me to voicemail and ignored me. They are screening my number so they can avoid taking accountability. No transparency here in this city. You don’t have to be a resident to make a complaint. They violated my rights…as well as this man’s rights. You cannot charge someone because others call about you.
Fakest thing about this story is the suggestion cops actually investigated anything.
He didn’t call them so bill the ones who called
Wait a min… so you telling me this small town with a very low number of police officers have a lot going on lol 🤷🏽♀️… it seems as if they don’t have a lot going on.. so how is it a public safety issue ? … am I wrong for thinking along this narrative ?
So what's this-a bunch of neighbors keep calling about you and the city bills you mostly for _their_ calls? Nice racket they've got going.
Yeah , the Karen doing the calling should be fined❗🙄
You're not getting
paid. He didnt call
Taxation without representation...
If this was applied equally to all calls, then the guy would not have a case. But here it sounds like a bunch of trashy neighbors keep beefing and calling the cops on each other, and the city is tired of it. Yes the city could use another call, and the guy needs some social skills training. The other neighbors should be billed for bogus calls. All of them need a cease - Desist order
They Found a way to bill 1st Amendment Auditors ! ! Police should be educating the callers and arresting them for false use of 911.
They specifically made an ordnance to punish him😂😂 that arbitrarily fines who the local government say’s is guilty of wasting resources. 😂😂😂😂 it will never hold in state level courts
sounds like the first step to paid policing. in other words you don't get police assistance/investigation without paying first
so the neighbors call the fuzz on the dude excessively for no reason other then they just dont like him, and the dude gets billed every time. thats def not okay and not appropriate.
