Legal Question in Criminal Law in Nevada
what constitutes filing a fradulent police report?
A man who has been harrassing me of late called the police department and reported that he was my psychotherapist (he is not) and that he thought I was suicidal. I was able to convince the police that I am not, but I want to know if he can get in trouble for making this claim falsely, and if so, how?

Re: what constitutes filing a fradulent police report?
It may be difficult to sue him for defamation because this is more of an opinion. However, the District Attorney could prosecute him for filing a false police report by pretending he is a psychotherapist. If he continues to bother you you could probably file a lawsuit against him for invasion of privacy.
