Legal Question in Criminal Law in Maryland
destruction of whose property
I caught two men in the tree in my back yard putting up a satellite. I asked them to remove it and they refused. I called the police, 2 came out and said they are unable to do anything, it was a civil case and to check with the city for guidelines. I called the city and was told they were unable to do anything because it was my property. I was also told by the city that I had the right to remove the stallite. I called the police the same day I got the answer from the city, asking for help, this time no one came out and I was told again there was nothing they could do for me. I went to the police station to be told the same thing and that I have the right to remove the satellite. Now I have to go to court for destructiion of property charges. Explain to me why this person was able to charge me with cutting their cables but I was unable to receive any assistance from the city at all. And, was told I could not press such charges? Also the person lives in an apartment with does not allow satellite connections, I found this out when I went to the landlord of the building.

Re: destruction of whose property
You should receive a copy of the complaint filed and it will tell you whose property you alleged destroyed.
An Attorney can make sure you are treated fairly by the government.
What county do you live in?
