Legal Question in Criminal Law in Michigan

Question regarding law

Exactly 6 months ago today I called the cops because a girl and her three to four guy friends were trying to break into my home. I wanted to press charges. When the cops arrived she went running out to the car and told them some bogus story that she had a party the night before and I came there and stole a keg. The officers let her go and came up to my house accussing me of stealing it knowing that I just woke up I was in my pajamas and there was no keg on my property. I am unsure what to do at this point. I called the police station and they called me a liar, telling me that their officers woud never do anything like that.

Re: Question regarding law

Why are you under the impression that you have to or could do something?

You don't and you can't. If no property was taken or damaged and no entry to your home obtained, there is nothing further to be done.

The fact that you are upset because of police activity is not a cause for action.
