Two members of Moms for Liberty, a right-wing activist group, have reported several Florida school librarians to law enforcement. They claimed they had evidence that librarians were distributing "pornography" to minors and requested that law enforcement officers be dispatched. This represents a serious escalation of the tactics deployed by members of Moms for Liberty against school librarians.

Do it enough times and you'll get the officer who cares, and they'll be so annoyed they'll look at past calls.

I've had to deal with a harasser who was also making false calls to the police about me. Most cops suck, but eventually you get one who does their job.

Do it enough, and you'll get pulled over every day, and ticketed for bullshit.

That's basically what the cops told me. Let him annoy more officers and they'll start letting them know this way. They also started to take lunch on our street just to let him know they were there.

It was pretty wild. I guess cops are lazy and bored!

Oh I know, I was friends with a cop. Heard all the dirty tricks. Especally "obstruction" when you need to pull an excuse out of your ass
