Another innocent victim of police harassment huh? If you didn't break the law, you wouldn't be "harassed". Why don't you file a complaint? You can't have access to his files.

It would be nice if you could clarify what the "harassment" is?
Is he or she following you from known drug houses to your home? Do they stop you because your license is suspended?
Is this related to something illegal you are doing?
I don't condone harassment if it truly is baseless, bothering of someone. I do know of criminals that complain every time they get arrested for breaking the law that this is harassment.
I had a burglar with a suspended driver's license that I would arrest every time he drove. He knew his license was suspended, and he also knew that I knew it. He would try and sneak around on my beat, and I would try and sneak around and catch him.
Years later, when he had a job and was married, he apologized for the stupid stuff he did growing up and all the trouble he caused. We had long talks when he was getting in trouble about why he should stop, but it took years and maturity for him to do it.
I hope if are innocent and being bothered for no reason it stops. Bad cops give a bad rap to all of those that try very hard to do the right thing within the law's limitations. Good luck.

If you're being harassed by a deputy, complain to the Sheriff. Trying to dig around in someone's employment history is a real good way to get a harassment complaint slapped on you.

use the California Public Records Act to obtain information about an officer that is available from some source other than the officer's personnel records. For example, the courts have held that the names of officers who have been subject to disciplinary proceedings, or have been involved in shooting incidents, are not confidential and must be disclosed. Two of the most helpful cases in this regard are Copley Press v. Superior Court, 18 Cal. Rptr. 3d 657 (2004) and New York Times Co. v. Superior Court, 52 Cal. App. 4th 97 (1997).

You must submit a written request, but don’t be surprised if you don’t get it. what’s in his personal file is protected by law.

Harassed how is the question. If you are stopped for legitimate reason, even if everyday, it is not harassment.
