This detective who at the time was off duty stopped me in Wal-mart and accused me of grand larceny... said he tried to call me a month ago, which he hasn't, and said he was going to "send down the warrant" what do I do about this @sshole?

You asked the same question, except last time you told us you were crazy:
"Is it legal?
I was harrased by a off duty detective who told me he was going to issue a warrant for grand larceny (false charges) publically in front of Wal-mart employees and embarrased me publically, and I have schizophrenia and has now got me paranoid (for no reason at all) What should I do?"
It sounds like he's telling you to go to the precinct for an interview in order to clear up a matter and that you're avoiding him. Probably for good reason, since you're probably guilty based on what you wrote. Obviously you have something to hide, so hire an attorney now, tell the detective to talk to your attorney or go to the precinct and tell the detective your side of the story.
And he can "harass and accuse" you all he wants. It's his job, whether he's actually on the clock or not to catch criminals. Being that he happened to see you sucks for you, but it's an opportunity that he grabbed to talk to you.
My guess is that he's telling you that it was your last opportunity to talk to him before sending the warrant to a judge to sign. Pucker your sphincter, it looks like you're about to be arrested.
PS. How are your oral warts doing? You ask some of the weirdest questions....

Blow him off. If he really had the goods on you he would have slapped the cuffs on you right then and there. To answer your question: Law enforcement officers have the right to accuse people of crimes if they have credible evidence to support their claims. And don't think that just because he was in Wal-Mart doesn't mean he was off-duty. So yes, he could accuse you of grand larceny, assuming he had some evidence to back that up. But as I said, chances are he's got nothing on you, so he was probably trying to scare you into confessing. Let it go. If you file a complaint it'll go nowhere.

Police officers are, in many ways, NEVER off-duty.
Treat this guy politely to his face (it confuses the heck out of people that hate you) and ignore it... or get a lawyer if the warrant is real.
Sounds like there is more to this story then you are telling.

Wherever you are, there should be a Citizens Complaint Advisory Board ( or a similar name) which handles complaints against Police Officers who don't do their job. Go online and look this up. Then provide them with as much information as possible-date, time, location, officer's name or description, what was said (especially if he was using offensive language) and a witness who is willing to back up your story, if possible. Good luck.

I think he is just trying to scare you. A judge is the one who issues the warrent based on evidence, or probable cause presented to him by the one requesting the warrant. If he has a warrant, he would have served it already. If this guy is singling you out for some reason, I would go to internal affairs and fix his wagon.

you may could desire to double verify, yet i'm very almost advantageous that government establishments won't be able to be held to blame(finacially) for wrongful imprisiment.....and that's left to the sufferer of such fake claims to basically "suck it up". Im uncertain if such concept differs btwn an ordeal with a jury and one without.......

Hey this is what detectives do. They'll harass you in the interrogation room if they want. They will do anything to get a lead when they have nothing!

Wait for the warrant, he can't do anything without it. He cannot harass you under any circumstances, but he can informally accuse you of anything he wants.
