This is over a dog nuisance ordinance which is a misdameanor. Since the person I am complaining about is connected to local village as a former president and with family members working within I am being denied the right to make a complaint and appear in court to prove my case. Unlike any other police department in Michigan they insist that they have to witness the nuisance occuring. That is difficult since everytime I call they are tipped off and they bring the dog inside. Now I know that is a violation of confidentiality but is it not my right to sign a complaint when a crime is committed agaisnt me. The guy already pled guilty to the first offense and now the problem has gotten worse. Obviously on purpose. Can someone link me to the specifics on my rights to file and prosecute a crime.

I have probably over 100 hrs of video and 4 wtinesseses and the police will not investigate or even look at my video. Is this a violation of the due process?

You must live in a very small town. If I was you I would call in the sheriff department or state troopers to verify the problem or talk to a prosecuting attorney in a larger city to find out what your rights are in Michigan. But you need only a video camera nowadays to prove a case, you don't need the police present anymore.

Check with an attorney in your area. All places have different laws.
