A:
It sounds like you're dealing with a very stressful and concerning situation. Based on what you've described, it appears that your rights may have been violated. Law enforcement officers cannot threaten to find reasons to arrest you if you haven't committed any crimes.
You have the right to file complaints against officers without fear of retaliation. If an officer is trespassing or threatening you, this could be grounds for legal action. It's important to document all interactions and gather any evidence, such as video recordings or witness statements, to support your case.
Consider reaching out to a lawyer who can provide legal advice specific to your situation. They can help you understand your rights and the best steps to take, such as filing a lawsuit or complaint against the sheriff and the county. Your safety and peace of mind are important, and taking legal action may help protect your rights.
