It depends where you live!
I live in Chicago and the cops there could not care less!
I work at a POlice station in a small suburb that has Noise ordinaces. After folks are tickets 3 times for "Noise complaints" "barking dog" etc etc. they then get fined, 200 dollars, and they have to go to court. You would get your day before the judge and it would all be documented!
It depends. Go to your Police station and ask if the town has ordinances concerning Drunkeness, noise,....what ever they are doing to bother you. Possible "dumping garbage" in your yard??
If your local has ordinaces to keep the village half way sane..it is your legal way to have all these things documented to show numerous altercations.
The small town I work in has a ton of them, tell the police you want a COPY of The report. You always want to tell the Police you want your complaint Documented!!

Good advice. I don't know if we have a noise ordinance, but I'll definitely find out. I just assumed that since we live out in the "boonies" that there probably weren't any ordinances about anything. He has dumped beer cans over our fence, but we just throw them back.
