The problem is that without a D. A. filing there is no court case number. So prepare a court order, leave the space for a case number blank, and ask the D. A. what to do about getting it signed by the judge. This can't be the first time this has happened. So I'm sure that there is a way to accomplish the matter.

Yes, it was illegal and a way of harassing you. File a governmental claim when it is all over to embarrass the police. Then keep at it and the police can then increase their harassment until you both have nothing else to do but keep each other busy.
