A California attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for three weeks. In addition to your own searches, you could use the tab above, Find a Lawyer. Also, most state bar associations have a section for attorney referral services on their websites. Good luck

Dragging you out of the building is illegal. She cannot resort to self-help.
She cannot evict you without proper notice, correct.

It is never OK for the police to lie. But you are not clear about what the lie is? If the police told you that this is a civil matter and the DA won't file on it, I agree with them.
Your beef is with the nephew. You can sue him in small claims court.

ed. I was told by the clerk that it is not a misdemeanor, but is it an infraction (like a parking ticket?) a sanction, and what is the difference? Was I “convicted” of something?
answered on Dec 3, 2020
It is not a criminal record. Therefore, the only penalty can be, and is, a fine. Sorry about the $, but it will not hurt your life in the long run!
Good luck!

If its a violation of a Municipal ordinance, you can ask the police to patrol and cite. The employer may also be in violation of workplace safety rules, so you could make a complaint to Cal-OSHA and it might investigate and require modification of the workplace practices.

Will I be fined? Also, do vets care if pets are not registered? Do they offer pet registration services? I couldn't find anything on these in my city (Fremont)'s ordinances or regulations, so please let me know what the city law would say about this.
