A: I understand this is a very distressing situation. However, claiming the police are remotely neural monitoring (RNM) you without providing any evidence makes it unlikely others will take the report seriously. Here are some suggestions that may help:

1. See a mental health professional. Hearing voices or believing you are being monitored illegally could potentially indicate an underlying mental health issue. A licensed therapist can properly evaluate what you're experiencing and rule out any medical conditions.

2. Document specifics. Write down exact dates, times, locations, what was heard/felt, names of officers if known, etc. Actual evidence helps show pattern of harassment.

3. Consult an attorney. If you have documented incidents indicating illegal harassment and surveillance, an attorney can advise if legal action can be taken and approach law enforcement through appropriate channels.

4. File official complaints. You can file complaints with police internal affairs, local/state civil liberties or human rights organizations outlining your documented experiences of RNM. Proper reporting channels should investigate.

5. Consider media outlets. If you have exhausted official reporting channels and evidence continues being dismissed, media outlets with civil rights focuses may consider investigating further.

The reality is that claiming remote neural monitoring without any documentary evidence makes getting taken seriously very difficult. My advice would be focusing on documentation, attorney guidance, and official reporting steps first before concluding no one will help. There may be better options than immediately labeling yourself as "crazy" if you methodically pursue this.
