To report harassment you need to call your local law enforcement agency and file a complaint. Once you've filed the complaint you need to sign a warrant for their arrest.
The police cannot arrest on a misdemeanor without actually witnessing the offense as it occurs.
Slander is more of a "civil" issue than a criminal one, however, to win a slander or defamation of character case you have to have a monetary loss...at least in my own state you do!
For instance if someone says you're addicted to drugs and you lose business income as a result...you have a case.
If someone says you are a doper...you can ignore it or file the harassment complaint against them. But if you don't sign the warrant after filing the complaint...nothing happens!

If its in the public they can take pictures legally as far as slander have they actually done anything, IE false reports? If so you must have "damages" to sue them, you cant just on it being irritating, sorry thats the way it works. If you don't have drug or sell them or use then you have nothing to worry about they are just freaks and need to get a life.

Call the local police and file a report, make sure they "take a number" and not just brush you off. This will get the ball rolling so you have something to fall back on if you should need to call them again.

Let the police know by catching them in the act of taking pictures of you and whoever comes over on a video tape and this will stand up in court when you go. and let them know that you will be pressing charges, Get a lawyer and get after them.

Get a lawyer. Best you can do is harassment suit or defamation of character. You don't have much of a chance with slander because that's too hard to prove.
