Can my baby daddy force his self into the delivery room? I don’t feel comfortable with him being back there while I’m naked and exposed. I told him he can come in after she’s out and I’m covered up. I live in Ohio but I’ll be delivering in Kentucky. He’s threaten to get a lawyer to try and force his self in.

Ha! No, no he can't. Even if you were married to him, you have the right to refuse him entry for *your* medical procedure.
Like everyone has said, he’s full of shit. I wanted to add to tell your nursing staff and registration that you’d like to be listed as private once you’re admitted. This means that he won’t be able to get your room number from a random front desk person and just show up.

No he can not, there is NO legal remedy, to allow himself to be in the room if you say no. Be sure to tell hospital staff that he absolutely, under no circumstances is allowed in the room until you give the okay. Tell them that they may need security to enforce this because he has already said he is going to force his way in.

Talk to the hospital, tell them who all you want in the delivery room and who is not to be there. The last thing that they will want is for you to be stressed out as that will make it harder and endanger not only you but the child. Make it clear to the staff there, and you can do it ahead of time where they have it on file.

He can’t force himself anywhere in the hospital. Their main concern will be your health and comfort and the baby’s. If you tell them you don’t want him there they will make sure he’s not there. If he doesn’t want to go, they call the cops.
Ha! No, no he can't. Even if you were married to him, you have the right to refuse him entry for *your* medical procedure.

He can’t force his way in if he doesn’t know you’re in labor. Simply do not tell him when you go into labor. Tell your nurse that you do not want anyone to know you are a patient, or even any visitors if you wish. You can wait until you are home and surrounded by family/supportive friends to invite him to meet the child.
He can hire all the lawyers he wants. If you, the patient, don't want him there, he won't be allowed in.

Bounty hunter broke into my house and intimidated me with a taser? Why do we allow this? I'm actually so disgusted right now. First of all, I live in Washington state. I recently moved into an apartment -- about a month and a half ago. Tonight, I had someone knock on my door with a camo tactical vest and a taser. Mind you, I wasn't aware at the time that he had these items. He was standing to the side of the peephole. When I opened the door he asked me, "Is Amara there?" I said, "I have no idea who Amara is?" He then proceeded to ask me other questions. I noticed the taser. That's when I said I don't have to answer your questions and shut the door in his face. Before the door shut he blasted into my apartment with his taser out. I called 911. He searched my premise. I then realized he was a bounty hunter. He never identified himself, nor did he have proper gear on. Which I know is against the law (but the officer didn't care because his partner had the right vest on. Which WASNT the one who entered my premise.) The girl who skipped bail didn't live at my address anymore. The only "proof" they have is that this is the residence she listed or last lived at. How is this okay? How is this acceptable? I'm a new fucking tenant. I didn't sign that stupid paper to get rid of my rights. The police said no crimes were committed and I didn't get to file any complaint (except the one that was generated automatically I assume?) Is there anything I can do? We frown at vigilantes yet we allow these thugs to run around and intimidate and harm innocent civilians. Bounty hunters are disgusting.

You are welcome to escalate up the chain at the local police department.
In Washington, a bail bond recovery agent has to notify the director of licensing within ten business days following a forced entry for the purpose of apprehending a fugitive criminal defendant, whether planned or unplanned. In most cases, forced entry is planned. In such cases, the relevant statute says the agent must: > (a) Have reasonable cause to believe that the defendant is inside the dwelling, building, or other structure where the planned forced entry is expected to occur; and > (b) Notify an appropriate law enforcement agency in the local jurisdiction in which the apprehension is expected to occur. Notification must include, at a minimum: The name of the defendant; the address, or the approximate location if the address is undeterminable, of the dwelling, building, or other structure where the planned forced entry is expected to occur; the name of the bail bond recovery agent; the name of the contracting bail bond agent; and the alleged offense or conduct the defendant committed that resulted in the issuance of a bail bond. It's quite possible the police were aware of the planned entry and that's why they won't let you escalate this and don't believe any laws were violated. Even if it was unplanned though, so long as they notify the director of licensing, you really have no recourse here.

Bounty hunters entered the wrong home I live in California. 7 bounty hunters who were dressed like the swat team who I thought were police the whole time broke my bedroom window while I was asleep (both window panes including a bent outer screen indicating that they pried the screen open before they broke the window) and then came into my home against my will. They told me they were looking for someone with a name I hadn’t ever heard. I don’t know this person and have never seen them a day in my life. I then asked them to show me a picture and again told them I don’t know who tf that is and he doesn’t live here! They told me that they’re coming in regardless of whether I want them to so we can “do this the easy way or the hard way”. This whole situation was so random and bizarre it’s 1am and I still can’t get past what happened today still has me panicking with anxiety. I have glass in my foot making it hard to walk since I have to limp and just the sheer terror of initially thinking it was a burglar. They all treated me as if I were lying and hiding a boyfriend or something. They kept trying to trip me up in a “lie” and I was so confused while they were using dumb police interrogation tactics. Only me and my 10 year old child live here and they broke his bedroom window which was near my head when I fell asleep in his room but thankfully no cuts in my face. Just my foot and almost my cats paws. As they’re storming my apartment shouting for “Larry so and so” they’re asking me where my child is what his name is what his dads name is and his dads address and all kinds of crazy sh*t! Trying to get all my personal info beyond my name that I gave them. I offered to show them my lease, my USPS informed delivery to show this person gets no mail here and I told them there are cameras where they can easily see he has never been here and isn’t inside. They didn’t identify themselves to me even know I kept referring to them as police since I thought they were but they finally said “we’re not police” but nothing else. I didn’t know they were bounty hunters until someone told me they were after the fact. I wasn’t given the ability to look at the arrest warrant either to even verify that the address is my address. I looked up the persons info who they’re looking for and it shows an address in another city that an apt building but it shows 5 different apt #’s under his list of previous residences which leads me to believe he lived at both complexes and gave all those random unit #’s out to obviously conceal his real address since he likes to go on the run and not show up to court. They also lied and said that they broke 1 window pane and failed to mention that they broke both but also bent up the screen. They also lied and said that they provided their info yet I don’t know any of their names or what bail company they are so I have no idea how to get my address removed! Otherwise it’ll be an endless cycle of them storming my home looking for a whole stranger. They said that they’re paying for the window so obviously they know they weren’t within their right otherwise they wouldn’t be paying for it. This is criminal to me though because how can they break through my window for someone they have never seen here? They didn’t hear any voices either because I was asleep. I didn’t have the TV on either. Now I’m left with my window still open at 1 in the morning because maintenance at my Apts never showed up and I can’t get this glass out of my foot. Sorry this was long and maybe kind of ranty but thank you for reading all the way through and enlightening me on the law regarding this. The officer I called to make a report simply said “I don’t know anything about bounty hunter laws so you’ll have to call them to see what they “policy” is” lmao as if a “policy” is above the law and as if they’re going to admit to me that they broke it. The police offered me No insight in regards to how I go about clearing this address issue up so it doesn’t happen in the future. They all keep saying to call the bail company yet can’t give me the name of it because they say they don’t have it. Even if I did call them how would they remove my address when I’ve already told them face to face that that person doesn’t live here and that I don’t even know them? I’ve already told them this and they don’t believe me so at the end of the day Police are refusing my report for them intentionally breaking the window and they’re not telling me how to prevent it in the future. Literally no one except door dash drivers and uber drivers have my address. I’ve always been private about my home in general. I don’t know why this person used my addess other than me assuming they’re giving a fake address because they never planned on going to court and don’t want county hunters at THEIR door. Smh. Police tell me that they “broke the window civilly so since there is no intent, it’s not criminal”. How the hell do you bend the screen door framing then proceed to break both window panes in a “CIVIL MANNER”?!

Not even the police would have the right to forcibly enter your property under the circumstances described here. Call the police, report them for breaking & entering, and get in touch with a lawyer.

Bounty hunters entered the wrong home I live in California. 7 bounty hunters who were dressed like the swat team who I thought were police the whole time broke my bedroom window while I was asleep (both window panes including a bent outer screen indicating that they pried the screen open before they broke the window) and then came into my home against my will. They told me they were looking for someone with a name I hadn’t ever heard. I don’t know this person and have never seen them a day in my life. I then asked them to show me a picture and again told them I don’t know who tf that is and he doesn’t live here! They told me that they’re coming in regardless of whether I want them to so we can “do this the easy way or the hard way”. This whole situation was so random and bizarre it’s 1am and I still can’t get past what happened today still has me panicking with anxiety. I have glass in my foot making it hard to walk since I have to limp and just the sheer terror of initially thinking it was a burglar. They all treated me as if I were lying and hiding a boyfriend or something. They kept trying to trip me up in a “lie” and I was so confused while they were using dumb police interrogation tactics.

Call the police again. Demand to speak with the highest supervisor they have there, a Lieutenant, Captain, Commander or the Chief. A report most certainly should be done. Report this to the apartment complex. In California, the Department of Insurance seems to be over bounty hunters, which are contracted by bail bondsmen. Sadly, it appears they don't need a license at this time. However, they are NOT allowed to forcibly enter into anyone's home.

Did these bounty hunters identify themselves in any way to you? You've got a civil case for damages you suffered if you can identify who caused them. If the cops are categorically against enforcing breaking and entering laws against bounty hunters where you are, that is a problem that contacting your state's Attorney General might help resolve. You need either a lawyer who can serve these guys with a civil suit, or you need the gummint to track them down and identify them for you so you can sue them. If they were cops, they'd have qualified immunity for all the damage they did, so you'd be left hanging. Since these weren't cops, you've at least got a civil suit target in your sights.
As others have said, you need to get a supervisor and make them actually take your police report. This situation was very messed up and not remotely legal, and definitely not a civil matter, despite how cops love to say thay to get out of taking any report that might be a pain in the ass - which bounty hunters generally are. They still have to do their job, even when it's a pain. But go to the hospital and get your foot taken care of! You cannot walk around with glass that you can't get out of your foot. Damage to your feet is no joke if the glass is deep and not coming out. Your damages include medical treatment for your foot, do not put that off until you have complications, feet are important, they bear the entire weight of your body, key to your mobility.

Bounty hunters entered the wrong home I live in California. 7 bounty hunters who were dressed like the swat team who I thought were police the whole time broke my bedroom window while I was asleep (both window panes including a bent outer screen indicating that they pried the screen open before they broke the window) and then came into my home against my will. They told me they were looking for someone with a name I hadn’t ever heard. I don’t know this person and have never seen them a day in my life. I then asked them to show me a picture and again told them I don’t know who tf that is and he doesn’t live here! They told me that they’re coming in regardless of whether I want them to so we can “do this the easy way or the hard way”. This whole situation was so random and bizarre it’s 1am and I still can’t get past what happened today still has me panicking with anxiety. I have glass in my foot making it hard to walk since I have to limp and just the sheer terror of initially thinking it was a burglar. They all treated me as if I were lying and hiding a boyfriend or something. They kept trying to trip me up in a “lie” and I was so confused while they were using dumb police interrogation tactics. Only me and my 10 year old child live here and they broke his bedroom window which was near my head when I fell asleep in his room but thankfully no cuts in my face. Just my foot and almost my cats paws. As they’re storming my apartment shouting for “Larry so and so” they’re asking me where my child is what his name is what his dads name is and his dads address and all kinds of crazy sh*t! Trying to get all my personal info beyond my name that I gave them. I offered to show them my lease, my USPS informed delivery to show this person gets no mail here and I told them there are cameras where they can easily see he has never been here and isn’t inside. They didn’t identify themselves to me even know I kept referring to them as police since I thought they were but they finally said “we’re not police” but nothing else. I didn’t know they were bounty hunters until someone told me they were after the fact. I wasn’t given the ability to look at the arrest warrant either to even verify that the address is my address. I looked up the persons info who they’re looking for and it shows an address in another city that an apt building but it shows 5 different apt #’s under his list of previous residences which leads me to believe he lived at both complexes and gave all those random unit #’s out to obviously conceal his real address since he likes to go on the run and not show up to court. They also lied and said that they broke 1 window pane and failed to mention that they broke both but also bent up the screen. They also lied and said that they provided their info yet I don’t know any of their names or what bail company they are so I have no idea how to get my address removed! Otherwise it’ll be an endless cycle of them storming my home looking for a whole stranger. They said that they’re paying for the window so obviously they know they weren’t within their right otherwise they wouldn’t be paying for it. This is criminal to me though because how can they break through my window for someone they have never seen here? They didn’t hear any voices either because I was asleep. I didn’t have the TV on either. Now I’m left with my window still open at 1 in the morning because maintenance at my Apts never showed up and I can’t get this glass out of my foot. Sorry this was long and maybe kind of ranty but thank you for reading all the way through and enlightening me on the law regarding this. The officer I called to make a report simply said “I don’t know anything about bounty hunter laws so you’ll have to call them to see what they “policy” is” lmao as if a “policy” is above the law and as if they’re going to admit to me that they broke it. The police offered me No insight in regards to how I go about clearing this address issue up so it doesn’t happen in the future. They all keep saying to call the bail company yet can’t give me the name of it because they say they don’t have it. Even if I did call them how would they remove my address when I’ve already told them face to face that that person doesn’t live here and that I don’t even know them? I’ve already told them this and they don’t believe me so at the end of the day Police are refusing my report for them intentionally breaking the window and they’re not telling me how to prevent it in the future. Literally no one except door dash drivers and uber drivers have my address. I’ve always been private about my home in general. I don’t know why this person used my addess other than me assuming they’re giving a fake address because they never planned on going to court and don’t want county hunters at THEIR door. Smh. Police tell me that they “broke the window civilly so since there is no intent, it’s not criminal”. How the hell do you bend the screen door framing then proceed to break both window panes in a “CIVIL MANNER”?!

Did these bounty hunters identify themselves in any way to you? You've got a civil case for damages you suffered if you can identify who caused them. If the cops are categorically against enforcing breaking and entering laws against bounty hunters where you are, that is a problem that contacting your state's Attorney General might help resolve. You need either a lawyer who can serve these guys with a civil suit, or you need the gummint to track them down and identify them for you so you can sue them. If they were cops, they'd have qualified immunity for all the damage they did, so you'd be left hanging. Since these weren't cops, you've at least got a civil suit target in your sights.

Bounty hunters/fugitive recovery agents/bail enforcement can only do this when YOU are the individual who skipped bail and if YOU own the property. They are for the most part private citizens, you have the legal grounds to prosecute and sue. Even if they were after someone who wrote down your property as collateral/residence with your consent, it doesn't change the fact they nabbed the wrong guy. Find the bail agency they represent and go crazy.
Call the police. Get the highest ranking person available. Tell them: - you had X number of people break into your house - they did this by smashing two windows and destroying a screen - they were dressed as a swat team and did not correct you when you referred to them as police until the very end - they did not identify themselves - your sustained a cut foot and your cat sustained a sliced paw

Bounty hunters entered the wrong home I live in California. 7 bounty hunters who were dressed like the swat team who I thought were police the whole time broke my bedroom window while I was asleep (both window panes including a bent outer screen indicating that they pried the screen open before they broke the window) and then came into my home against my will. They told me they were looking for someone with a name I hadn’t ever heard. I don’t know this person and have never seen them a day in my life. I then asked them to show me a picture and again told them I don’t know who tf that is and he doesn’t live here! They told me that they’re coming in regardless of whether I want them to so we can “do this the easy way or the hard way”. This whole situation was so random and bizarre it’s 1am and I still can’t get past what happened today still has me panicking with anxiety. I have glass in my foot making it hard to walk since I have to limp and just the sheer terror of initially thinking it was a burglar. They all treated me as if I were lying and hiding a boyfriend or something. They kept trying to trip me up in a “lie” and I was so confused while they were using dumb police interrogation tactics. Only me and my 10 year old child live here and they broke his bedroom window which was near my head when I fell asleep in his room but thankfully no cuts in my face. Just my foot and almost my cats paws. As they’re storming my apartment shouting for “Larry so and so” they’re asking me where my child is what his name is what his dads name is and his dads address and all kinds of crazy sh*t! Trying to get all my personal info beyond my name that I gave them. I offered to show them my lease, my USPS informed delivery to show this person gets no mail here and I told them there are cameras where they can easily see he has never been here and isn’t inside. They didn’t identify themselves to me even know I kept referring to them as police since I thought they were but they finally said “we’re not police” but nothing else. I didn’t know they were bounty hunters until someone told me they were after the fact. I wasn’t given the ability to look at the arrest warrant either to even verify that the address is my address. I looked up the persons info who they’re looking for and it shows an address in another city that an apt building but it shows 5 different apt #’s under his list of previous residences which leads me to believe he lived at both complexes and gave all those random unit #’s out to obviously conceal his real address since he likes to go on the run and not show up to court. They also lied and said that they broke 1 window pane and failed to mention that they broke both but also bent up the screen. They also lied and said that they provided their info yet I don’t know any of their names or what bail company they are so I have no idea how to get my address removed! Otherwise it’ll be an endless cycle of them storming my home looking for a whole stranger. They said that they’re paying for the window so obviously they know they weren’t within their right otherwise they wouldn’t be paying for it. This is criminal to me though because how can they break through my window for someone they have never seen here? They didn’t hear any voices either because I was asleep. I didn’t have the TV on either. Now I’m left with my window still open at 1 in the morning because maintenance at my Apts never showed up and I can’t get this glass out of my foot. Sorry this was long and maybe kind of ranty but thank you for reading all the way through and enlightening me on the law regarding this. The officer I called to make a report simply said “I don’t know anything about bounty hunter laws so you’ll have to call them to see what they “policy” is” lmao as if a “policy” is above the law and as if they’re going to admit to me that they broke it. The police offered me No insight in regards to how I go about clearing this address issue up so it doesn’t happen in the future. They all keep saying to call the bail company yet can’t give me the name of it because they say they don’t have it. Even if I did call them how would they remove my address when I’ve already told them face to face that that person doesn’t live here and that I don’t even know them? I’ve already told them this and they don’t believe me so at the end of the day Police are refusing my report for them intentionally breaking the window and they’re not telling me how to prevent it in the future. Literally no one except door dash drivers and uber drivers have my address. I’ve always been private about my home in general. I don’t know why this person used my addess other than me assuming they’re giving a fake address because they never planned on going to court and don’t want county hunters at THEIR door. Smh. Police tell me that they “broke the window civilly so since there is no intent, it’s not criminal”. How the hell do you bend the screen door framing then proceed to break both window panes in a “CIVIL MANNER”?!

Call the police. Get the highest ranking person available. Tell them: - you had X number of people break into your house - they did this by smashing two windows and destroying a screen - they were dressed as a swat team and did not correct you when you referred to them as police until the very end - they did not identify themselves - your sustained a cut foot and your cat sustained a sliced paw
Bounty hunters must know that their target is currently in the house or apartment they wish to enter before doing so. I can’t remember where it says this but then entering without your permission and clearly without knowing for certain their target was there is EXTREMELY illegal. You could charge them with home invasion, breaking and entering, and burglary, at least to my knowledge. Full disclosure I’m not a lawyer or bounty hunter but I do know this for a fact. If they were armed then that adds charges. Call the police and inform them of the situation, but use the non emergency line. Edit: I have been informed that you won’t be the one to charge them. I know that but I think o phrased it wrong. The DA will charge them if they choose to.

Please see more current information in the replies. ~~From:~~ ~~https://fugitiverecovery.com/bail-bond-laws/overview/~~ >~~License required. In September 1999, A 243, the Bail Fugitive Recovery Persons Act, was passed which added section 1299 to the Penal Code. This law provides for the regulation of bail fugitive recovery persons, defined as a person given written authorization by a bail or depositor of bail and contracted to investigate, surveil, locate, and arrest a bail fugitive and any person employed to assist the bail or depositor of bail to do same. The law requires that the bail fugitive recovery person be at least 18 years old and complete 2 power of arrest courses. This law requires that a person authorized to apprehend a bail fugitive notify local law enforcement of his intent to apprehend 6 hours prior.~~ **~~This law prohibits a bail fugitive recovery person from forcibly entering a premises for that purpose except pursuant to certain existing provisions of law governing arrest by a private person.~~** ~~Any person authorized to apprehend a bail fugitive is required to carry certification of completion of required courses and training programs, and shall not wear a badge or law enforcement type apparel, not carry a firearm or weapon except in compliance with state law. Violation of this statute is a misdemeanor. The law remains in effect only until January 1, 2005 subject to another statute deleting or extending that date. (Penal Code, Part 2, Title 10, Chapter 1, Article 5.5, Section 1299 and Insurance Code, Section 1810.7) In addition, a bounty hunter or bond agent who captures a defendant in California must go through extradition procedures to transport him interstate. \[CA Penal Code 847.5 (1995 West); Ouzts v Maryland Nat’l Ins.Co. 505 F.2d 547 (9th Cir. 1974)\]. After an arrest of a defendant on bail, the surety must deliver him to the court or the police within 48 hours if it occurs in California. If it occurs out of state, the surety must deliver the defendant within 48 hours of returning to California. (CA Penal Code 1301). UCEA~~

Take pictures of all the damage, then go to a lawyer.
If you know the person's full name, Larry ?, look up his re order at you local court. There should be a bond agreement in his file which will have the bond company

They also lied and said that they broke 1 window pane and failed to mention that they broke both but also bent up the screen. They also lied and said that they provided their info yet I don’t know any of their names or what bail company they are so I have no idea how to get my address removed! Otherwise it’ll be an endless cycle of them storming my home looking for a whole stranger. They said that they’re paying for the window so obviously they know they weren’t within their right otherwise they wouldn’t be paying for it. This is criminal to me though because how can they break through my window for someone they have never seen here? They didn’t hear any voices either because I was asleep. I didn’t have the TV on either. Now I’m left with my window still open at 1 in the morning because maintenance at my Apts never showed up and I can’t get this glass out of my foot. Sorry this was long and maybe kind of ranty but thank you for reading all the way through and enlightening me on the law regarding this. The officer I called to make a report simply said “I don’t know anything about bounty hunter laws so you’ll have to call them to see what they “policy” is” lmao as if a “policy” is above the law and as if they’re going to admit to me that they broke it. The police offered me No insight in regards to how I go about clearing this address issue up so it doesn’t happen in the future. They all keep saying to call the bail company yet can’t give me the name of it because they say they don’t have it. Even if I did call them how would they remove my address when I’ve already told them face to face that that person doesn’t live here and that I don’t even know them? I’ve already told them this and they don’t believe me so at the end of the day Police are refusing my report for them intentionally breaking the window and they’re not telling me how to prevent it in the future. Literally no one except door dash drivers and uber drivers have my address. I’ve always been private about my home in general. I don’t know why this person used my addess other than me assuming they’re giving a fake address because they never planned on going to court and don’t want county hunters at THEIR door. Smh. Police tell me that they “broke the window civilly so since there is no intent, it’s not criminal”. How the hell do you bend the screen door framing then proceed to break both window panes in a “CIVIL MANNER”?!

Please see more current information in the replies. ~~From:~~ ~~https://fugitiverecovery.com/bail-bond-laws/overview/~~ >~~License required. In September 1999, A 243, the Bail Fugitive Recovery Persons Act, was passed which added section 1299 to the Penal Code. This law provides for the regulation of bail fugitive recovery persons, defined as a person given written authorization by a bail or depositor of bail and contracted to investigate, surveil, locate, and arrest a bail fugitive and any person employed to assist the bail or depositor of bail to do same. The law requires that the bail fugitive recovery person be at least 18 years old and complete 2 power of arrest courses. This law requires that a person authorized to apprehend a bail fugitive notify local law enforcement of his intent to apprehend 6 hours prior.~~ **~~This law prohibits a bail fugitive recovery person from forcibly entering a premises for that purpose except pursuant to certain existing provisions of law governing arrest by a private person.~~** ~~Any person authorized to apprehend a bail fugitive is required to carry certification of completion of required courses and training programs, and shall not wear a badge or law enforcement type apparel, not carry a firearm or weapon except in compliance with state law. Violation of this statute is a misdemeanor. The law remains in effect only until January 1, 2005 subject to another statute deleting or extending that date. (Penal Code, Part 2, Title 10, Chapter 1, Article 5.5, Section 1299 and Insurance Code, Section 1810.7) In addition, a bounty hunter or bond agent who captures a defendant in California must go through extradition procedures to transport him interstate. \[CA Penal Code 847.5 (1995 West); Ouzts v Maryland Nat’l Ins.Co. 505 F.2d 547 (9th Cir. 1974)\]. After an arrest of a defendant on bail, the surety must deliver him to the court or the police within 48 hours if it occurs in California. If it occurs out of state, the surety must deliver the defendant within 48 hours of returning to California. (CA Penal Code 1301). UCEA~~

Bounty hunters entered the wrong home I live in California. 7 bounty hunters who were dressed like the swat team who I thought were police the whole time broke my bedroom window while I was asleep (both window panes including a bent outer screen indicating that they pried the screen open before they broke the window) and then came into my home against my will. They told me they were looking for someone with a name I hadn’t ever heard. I don’t know this person and have never seen them a day in my life. I then asked them to show me a picture and again told them I don’t know who tf that is and he doesn’t live here! They told me that they’re coming in regardless of whether I want them to so we can “do this the easy way or the hard way”. This whole situation was so random and bizarre it’s 1am and I still can’t get past what happened today still has me panicking with anxiety. I have glass in my foot making it hard to walk since I have to limp and just the sheer terror of initially thinking it was a burglar. They all treated me as if I were lying and hiding a boyfriend or something. They kept trying to trip me up in a “lie” and I was so confused while they were using dumb police interrogation tactics. Only me and my 10 year old child live here and they broke his bedroom window which was near my head when I fell asleep in his room but thankfully no cuts in my face. Just my foot and almost my cats paws. As they’re storming my apartment shouting for “Larry so and so” they’re asking me where my child is what his name is what his dads name is and his dads address and all kinds of crazy sh*t! Trying to get all my personal info beyond my name that I gave them. I offered to show them my lease, my USPS informed delivery to show this person gets no mail here and I told them there are cameras where they can easily see he has never been here and isn’t inside. They didn’t identify themselves to me even know I kept referring to them as police since I thought they were but they finally said “we’re not police” but nothing else. I didn’t know they were bounty hunters until someone told me they were after the fact. I wasn’t given the ability to look at the arrest warrant either to even verify that the address is my address.

Yeah, they can’t do that. Call an attorney. File a police report. Sue them into oblivion
Bounty hunters/fugitive recovery agents/bail enforcement can only do this when YOU are the individual who skipped bail and if YOU own the property. They are for the most part private citizens, you have the legal grounds to prosecute and sue. Even if they were after someone who wrote down your property as collateral/residence with your consent, it doesn't change the fact they nabbed the wrong guy. Find the bail agency they represent and go crazy.

They didn’t identify themselves to me even know I kept referring to them as police since I thought they were but they finally said “we’re not police” but nothing else. I didn’t know they were bounty hunters until someone told me they were after the fact. I wasn’t given the ability to look at the arrest warrant either to even verify that the address is my address. I looked up the persons info who they’re looking for and it shows an address in another city that an apt building but it shows 5 different apt #’s under his list of previous residences which leads me to believe he lived at both complexes and gave all those random unit #’s out to obviously conceal his real address since he likes to go on the run and not show up to court. They also lied and said that they broke 1 window pane and failed to mention that they broke both but also bent up the screen. They also lied and said that they provided their info yet I don’t know any of their names or what bail company they are so I have no idea how to get my address removed! Otherwise it’ll be an endless cycle of them storming my home looking for a whole stranger. They said that they’re paying for the window so obviously they know they weren’t within their right otherwise they wouldn’t be paying for it. This is criminal to me though because how can they break through my window for someone they have never seen here? They didn’t hear any voices either because I was asleep. I didn’t have the TV on either. Now I’m left with my window still open at 1 in the morning because maintenance at my Apts never showed up and I can’t get this glass out of my foot. Sorry this was long and maybe kind of ranty but thank you for reading all the way through and enlightening me on the law regarding this. The officer I called to make a report simply said “I don’t know anything about bounty hunter laws so you’ll have to call them to see what they “policy” is” lmao as if a “policy” is above the law and as if they’re going to admit to me that they broke it. The police offered me No insight in regards to how I go about clearing this address issue up so it doesn’t happen in the future. They all keep saying to call the bail company yet can’t give me the name of it because they say they don’t have it. Even if I did call them how would they remove my address when I’ve already told them face to face that that person doesn’t live here and that I don’t even know them? I’ve already told them this and they don’t believe me so at the end of the day Police are refusing my report for them intentionally breaking the window and they’re not telling me how to prevent it in the future. Literally no one except door dash drivers and uber drivers have my address. I’ve always been private about my home in general. I don’t know why this person used my addess other than me assuming they’re giving a fake address because they never planned on going to court and don’t want county hunters at THEIR door. Smh. Police tell me that they “broke the window civilly so since there is no intent, it’s not criminal”. How the hell do you bend the screen door framing then proceed to break both window panes in a “CIVIL MANNER”?!

Bounty hunters/fugitive recovery agents/bail enforcement can only do this when YOU are the individual who skipped bail and if YOU own the property. They are for the most part private citizens, you have the legal grounds to prosecute and sue. Even if they were after someone who wrote down your property as collateral/residence with your consent, it doesn't change the fact they nabbed the wrong guy. Find the bail agency they represent and go crazy.

Bounty hunters entered the wrong home I live in California. 7 bounty hunters who were dressed like the swat team who I thought were police the whole time broke my bedroom window while I was asleep (both window panes including a bent outer screen indicating that they pried the screen open before they broke the window) and then came into my home against my will. They told me they were looking for someone with a name I hadn’t ever heard. I don’t know this person and have never seen them a day in my life. I then asked them to show me a picture and again told them I don’t know who tf that is and he doesn’t live here! They told me that they’re coming in regardless of whether I want them to so we can “do this the easy way or the hard way”. This whole situation was so random and bizarre it’s 1am and I still can’t get past what happened today still has me panicking with anxiety. I have glass in my foot making it hard to walk since I have to limp and just the sheer terror of initially thinking it was a burglar. They all treated me as if I were lying and hiding a boyfriend or something. They kept trying to trip me up in a “lie” and I was so confused while they were using dumb police interrogation tactics. Only me and my 10 year old child live here and they broke his bedroom window which was near my head when I fell asleep in his room but thankfully no cuts in my face. Just my foot and almost my cats paws. As they’re storming my apartment shouting for “Larry so and so” they’re asking me where my child is what his name is what his dads name is and his dads address and all kinds of crazy sh*t!

Bounty hunters must know that their target is currently in the house or apartment they wish to enter before doing so. I can’t remember where it says this but then entering without your permission and clearly without knowing for certain their target was there is EXTREMELY illegal. You could charge them with home invasion, breaking and entering, and burglary, at least to my knowledge. Full disclosure I’m not a lawyer or bounty hunter but I do know this for a fact. If they were armed then that adds charges. Call the police and inform them of the situation, but use the non emergency line. Edit: I have been informed that you won’t be the one to charge them. I know that but I think o phrased it wrong. The DA will charge them if they choose to.

Brother overstayed his welcome. Mom and I are in need of support. I have an older brother named Vic [33] who was diagnosed with ADHD when he was 18. I don't know too many details about it as my mom didn't give me much information, so that's all I know as well as many years of abuse from him. My mom and I moved in to this trailer together about 7 years ago now. It's a small camping trailer with a small room attached to the side. It's pretty much enough for ONLY 2 people. When we moved in we absolutely loved it and made the most of the small space we lived in. My mom described it as her "little cottage of fairies." We eventually swapped the pre-existing trailer for a slightly bigger one that had room for a queen-size bed. My mom was so happy to finally be able to sleep in an actual bed for the first time in 13 years! However, about a month later my older brother, Vic. came to visit on November 22, 2021. For context, I've never gotten along with him solely because, growing up, he'd bully and physically hurt my little brother and I, he'd damage any of the homes we've lived in, and was just a reckless person overall. So Vic shows up with his wife, his kid, and his 2 dogs. My mom let them sleep on her bed while she slept on this super stiff pull-out couch. Anyways, so I thought they would only be here for Thanksgiving. Okay makes sense. Great, I wouldn't have to deal with them for too long. A week goes by... a month... 6 months... 1 year, 1 month, and 5 days... They stayed. Excuse my language but what the actual fuck! They don't have jobs, don't pay for anything, they took over my mom's bed, replaced our cookware. I can't even use my sink, fridge, or stove anymore because they ALWAYS have a pile of dirty dishes. Sometimes it would be too full that they take them out and put them on the floor. WITH WATER STILL ON THEM! The kid is 9 years old and didn't go to school until 7 months ago! They believed their kid was special and wanted to homeschool him but the kid has no friends, is always crying when doing any "schoolwork" together, and even gets annoyed at them for the shit they do. Sorry. I don't hate the kid. I hate the people raising him. I used to work at the school he attends and I know his teacher as well as what his schedule looks like. He always gets to school an hour late and only goes when Vic feels like taking him... We literally live a block away from the school. Every morning is something new with Vic. My room is comprised of all windows so I can pretty much hear everything going on around me. I generally get up at 10am, but at 7am every morning I'd hear something. One day he'd slam the door open and yell at the top of his lungs, "GOOOOOOD FUCKING MORNING! AHHHHHHH!!!!" Another day he'd be on the phone with his wife arguing about something stupid. Another day he'd be talking shit about my mom, while she's at work, saying how she's a hoarder, calling her "a stupid Ronald McDonald red-headed piece of shit," and even going on about how much he latest living her in this "filth" because she never cleans up. Another day he'd be on the phone with clients, as he's a 'freelance handyman', telling them about how he can't make it to his appointment because his car broke down and doesn't have any method to get to their house for the job even though he doesn's have a car of his own and his wife's car, which he uses when he pleases, is perfectly functional. All that just to say, "Okay, mi amor! I don't have work today so I can spend the whole day with you and [his kid who he didn't take to school that day]!" My wifi, which he's been leeching off of for a months to connect his 1000 devices, went out one day while I was away from home. He got so mad that he punched a hole through the trailer wall, called the internet support, broke into my room, reset my router, and changed my login information... for the internet I pay for... He tried patching up hole with a slim piece of wood, but there's still this massive crack that leads to the door and spans across the other side inside the restroom. My mom was pissed but practically gave him a slap on the wrist. We talk about it when we're out but she never does anything about it. My mom and I built a system so that both of us could get ready in the mornings without ever clashing with each other. We had everything neatly organized and accessable. Yeah... Our system practically imploded. Vic is constantly moving stuff around, leaving dirty dishes everywhere, and using up our resources. My mom can't even keep stuff in her fridge anymore because they've stuffed it with whatever. Even trying to talk to him about it is like talking to a brick wall. He doesn't feel what he is doing is wrong. Hell, he doesn't even see that his actions have consequences. He even joked to his kid one time saying, "I remember i kicked the door to our house one time so hard that it flew off the hinges. It was so funny. You would have laughed if you saw it." Which was literally why we got evicted the next day, why my mom and I went homeless for 7 months, and why we moved in here and made the most of it. I have felt every single one of those days that he's been here and his family claims that this is his home. No. No it is not. A home is supposed to be a place where you feel safe. Where you can throw away all of your outside-world problems away and just relax. This ain't it. Not anymore. What was once a wonderful, peaceful little place is now the reason why I'm in a constant state of stress. Shoot, my mom hardly ever wants to be here or even sleep here. I don't know what to do or what I can do. As the days go by I feel it's only going to get worse.

How old are you? Wondering if you're a minor or not. What state are you in?
Who owns the trailer? You or your mom? Does your mom want him out? Why has she put up with this for so long? He will have to be evicted according to the laws of your state. Have any police reports been filed about the damage and violence? That could be useful for a restraining order.

(WA) I went on a weekend trip and came back to a 90 degree apartment. (thermostat set to 50) the heat was on easily the entire time and caused my artwork on the wall to get curled and ruined. Hello, I live in Washington state. I left my apartment set at 50 degrees with my pet for a weekend came back to the heater running and the air temp being in excess of 90 degrees.(a simple probe thermometer for cooking was reading 91 degrees in air temp) The excess heat caused my artwork on the wall to curl, I have paint in bottles that dried, it killed our plants and melted the chocolate bars in my pantry. It likely was running the entire weekend. Obviously we want them to fix the thermostat, and we will call the power company and ask them what we can do to forgive the last couple days, but can I make a small claim for my damaged artwork? It was all print photography I did as a kid and has large sentimental value. Not looking to make a big stink, but this wasn't cool and everything in the house was dangerously hot and it could've started a fire. As I write this I remember that they never sent a city mandated inspector to check our heaters for winterization purposes. The first year we moved in they did send someone to check all the heaters and pipes but this year the guy missed his appointment and they never sent a new guy. Just wondering if I have a claim of sorts. I'd like to add I'm happy with my rental company and plan on renewing my lease for several years. I am poor. I don't know a lawyer (have never had problems)

Uh, was your pet okay?
> can I make a small claim for my damaged artwork? To your renters insurance? Yeah probably at least the value of the paint supplies used to create it. You won't get any extra because of sentimental value.

That isn't a super uncommon restriction. He needs to get permission from his probation officer, in writing
There’s gotta be a probation office he can contact.

Whatever paperwork he received from the court outlining the terms of his probation, and, failing that, his PO would be the best sources for that information.

PO here. This restriction is really for people on felony probation. If he is on unsupervised, he is not likely required to obtain permission to travel, provided the trip is under 44 days in duration. He can contact the probation office and ask if he needs a travel permit.
“Trying to find more information”? Call his PO. Don’t go Googling around trying to find some answer you *want to hear* so that you guys can just leave. Do not fuck around with this. Call his PO, your brother has the number, and what the PO tells him is the *only* answer that matters.

What other people have said, he just need permission from a probation officer. Source: I was on probation (MN) with a gross misdemeanor and had to receive permission to travel to California
PO here. This restriction is really for people on felony probation. If he is on unsupervised, he is not likely required to obtain permission to travel, provided the trip is under 44 days in duration. He can contact the probation office and ask if he needs a travel permit.

“Trying to find more information”? Call his PO. Don’t go Googling around trying to find some answer you *want to hear* so that you guys can just leave. Do not fuck around with this. Call his PO, your brother has the number, and what the PO tells him is the *only* answer that matters.

He just needs to tell his PO and get permission in writing. It's.... pretty simple
He has a low-risk probation officer. He can call the County Treasury/Clerk where he pays any fines, they’ll be able to help. I am from Iowa, and was on low-risk for a misdemeanor. There’s someone at the courthouse that can talk to for sure.

Call his parole officer about it. They’ll have to provide approval for him to leave if he able.
It’s probably unsupervised misdemeanor probation if he really doesn’t have a PO. If he has a PO and he doesn’t realize he’s got way bigger issues. His final sentencing order will say the terms and conditions of his suspended sentence/supervision. A clerk from the sentencing court might just read it to him over the phone and give him the agency to call. Of course if the clerk is wrong and it was just a phone call, he’s fucked. Best to see the order.

My girlfriend's parents are getting her married without her own consent. My girlfriend is a 16-year-old gypsy from Slovakia. Her parents are in a hurry to get her married (not yet legally). They're planning on getting her married and into an older man's bed whom she hasn't even met. She's in a very dark place because of this right now, and so am I. How can we stop this? Is there anything we can do about it legally?

Where is she living currently?
This is primarily an American sub. But from my short reading Slovakia is an EU member state and this is not allowed. Does she normally reside in Slovakia or do you in her live in I different region that you may be able to get help in? Also r/legaladviceEurope may be able to provide better resources and information.

Not a lawyer, never been to Slovakia. Being forced into a marriage may be considered human trafficking. I suggest you Google for where to report human trafficking in Slovakia or the EU. Good luck to both of you.

My landlord called the cops on me for trying to pay my rent- cop made her let me pay- now I'm being evicted for non payment-Texas There is a very long and convoluted back story, but in July, my apartment complex was bought out by one of those property flipping companies. They left me without air conditioning for 17 days in heat over 100° When I complained she told me to call the city. They shut down the website where we could make payments. This was NEVER an issue when I could pay online and I was never late in the year and a half before this company bought my complex. They've made my life an absolute living hell and will not allow me to pay, racking up more and more late fees every month. This month, I went in on the 4th to pay my rent. It was one day after the late fee policy, so I expected to pay a $50 late fee. She told me she could not take my check. My lease says checks are accepted through the 10th. I was already exhausted with her after the air conditioning fiasco and told her I had to pay my rent and I tried to leave the check with her. She told me she was calling the cops. I left. I got a knock on my door and thought it would be the cops. It was her. She gave me my check back with a copy of my lease. It said in hand writing on the back that checks are accepted the first through third. On the front, in typing, where I signed, it said checks are accepted through the 10th. I went back in there with the check and tried to show her where it says I could pay by check through the 10th. She would not listen to me. She would not even look at the lease I was pointing to. The cop finally came, talked to me, talked to her, then told me she said she'd make a one time exception and take my check. I thought this months hell was finally over. Today, 4 days later, I hear someone trying to unlock my door. I quickly got dressed and went to the door. It was her with her key, trying to come in. I asked what she was doing and she handed me an eviction notice. She said she could not accept my check because I had an nsf before. I have, once, because they took so long to cash it and I forgot about it. That was my fault, but this is not. My lease also says no checks will be accepted after 2 nsfs. I have only had one. My eviction notice says I have until the 11th to get out or they will change the locks. I can't afford a lawyer and I need help. They're in violation of my lease, and tried to enter my property without notice or permission. A cop was here and told her to take my check. What do I do?

TX requires one person at the property management company to be licensed by the real estate board. Call the company and find out who the licensed person is, and file a complaint against their license. When you call you might let them know WHY you are filing a complaint against their license, they might back down on their threat to evict you. Do that in addition to the other suggestions about safeguarding your valuables and showing up in court if you are served.
In every lease there should be a method of payment section that describes the legal method in which you can pay and they’re obligated to make a reasonable effort to provide. If they aren’t doing that, they’re in violation of the lease. AC is also an issue of basic habitability in TX and the best thing for you to do is contact the Texas Rental Authority to enforce your rights. They just want to make you leave but TX has a lot of tenant rights.

I am not a lawyer, however, I do work with property management companies. In addition to preparing and copying the documents for court, try contacting the company that manages the property. If they have a lick of sense, they'll hear about the manager trying to modify the lease and put a stop to this before a judge does. The management company's logo should be in the footer of their website, and you can usually find contact info on the corporate site. Also, post on their social media. In competitive markets like Texas, a negative review can cost them a lot of money. Even if you don't get evicted, look for a new place. Companies that flip properties need residents to leave so they can do their work and lease at a higher rent, so they're going to want you gone regardless. Good luck.

You can probably have your bank set up to automatically mail a check each month by a certain date, make sure it's sent early enough to make the deadline, and always have the funds available. if the bank issues the check they will almost certainly remove the check from your available balance when it's printed, so you should be good. Get a cloud recording camera and install it in your apartment. If you're allowed to put nails/screws in the wall anchor it firmly to the wall. If you're not allowed to make sure it's well hidden. Consider 2 cameras with one watching the other. Cameras like Nest and Arlo allow fairly sophisticated motion detection and can alert you by SMS message. If you're not home and see your landlord in your apartment call 911 to report a break in / burglary. Do NOT mention that it's your landlord, just say you're cameras spotted someone in your apartment and need emergency police response. While you're home consider some of the non-damaging door locking devices, even a simple wedge door stop, to prevent her entry while you're asleep or otherwise just don't want to be bothered. Finally, you should consult an attorney to review your lease and if they feel it's warranted they can send her a cease and desist letter or other missive to let her know you're willing to play hardball. This honestly sounds like they're trying to force out the tenants for they can remodel the place or raise rents or something. If that's the case maybe you can negotiate a cash for keys deal. If they think they can make significantly more money on your apartment they may be willing to release you from the lease and pay you to leave. Also, document EVERYTHING. Install a call recording app if she calls you, use your phone to record her if she confronts you in person, screen hot and back up any text or email she sends you.... IF she moves for eviction, even if she's in violation of the lease, and you're in the right, you'll need an attorney. Without an attorney you've got almost no chance of avoiding eviction - if you don't have an attorney helping to file motions and appeals your eviction hearing will last 15 seconds and be rubber stamped. Despite what many here would say about fairness, I've seen enough eviction hearings to know they're a farce. YMMV, but one time I watched 4 people get evicted in under 20 minutes. If they had attorneys I suspect t least one would have been spared eviction.

You may win this battle and still lose the war. It sounds like they got it out for you for some reason, and will keep grinding away at you until they get you gone. Fight the good fight as others are explaining here, but I suggest that you prepare in case things to get nasty. Do you have a safe space you can move your valuables / papers / things you can't afford to lose? Also, are you in any position to look for another apartment? Lease should be a standard TAA (Texas Apartment Association) lease, no?
How did she attempt to enter you apartment? Texas has some interesting laws about door locks for renters. The landlord is required to install a deadbolt that can only be operated from inside the unit on all exterior doors, which should've prevented her from ever trying to get in. If they're going to evict you I'd at least get on them about the lock situation and let your neighbors know too.

If they're going to evict you I'd at least get on them about the lock situation and let your neighbors know too.
You can probably have your bank set up to automatically mail a check each month by a certain date, make sure it's sent early enough to make the deadline, and always have the funds available. if the bank issues the check they will almost certainly remove the check from your available balance when it's printed, so you should be good. Get a cloud recording camera and install it in your apartment. If you're allowed to put nails/screws in the wall anchor it firmly to the wall. If you're not allowed to make sure it's well hidden. Consider 2 cameras with one watching the other. Cameras like Nest and Arlo allow fairly sophisticated motion detection and can alert you by SMS message. If you're not home and see your landlord in your apartment call 911 to report a break in / burglary. Do NOT mention that it's your landlord, just say you're cameras spotted someone in your apartment and need emergency police response. While you're home consider some of the non-damaging door locking devices, even a simple wedge door stop, to prevent her entry while you're asleep or otherwise just don't want to be bothered. Finally, you should consult an attorney to review your lease and if they feel it's warranted they can send her a cease and desist letter or other missive to let her know you're willing to play hardball. This honestly sounds like they're trying to force out the tenants for they can remodel the place or raise rents or something. If that's the case maybe you can negotiate a cash for keys deal. If they think they can make significantly more money on your apartment they may be willing to release you from the lease and pay you to leave. Also, document EVERYTHING. Install a call recording app if she calls you, use your phone to record her if she confronts you in person, screen hot and back up any text or email she sends you.... IF she moves for eviction, even if she's in violation of the lease, and you're in the right, you'll need an attorney. Without an attorney you've got almost no chance of avoiding eviction - if you don't have an attorney helping to file motions and appeals your eviction hearing will last 15 seconds and be rubber stamped. Despite what many here would say about fairness, I've seen enough eviction hearings to know they're a farce. YMMV, but one time I watched 4 people get evicted in under 20 minutes. If they had attorneys I suspect t least one would have been spared eviction.

Aunt works at my doctors & “called the cops on me” Hello! Im having some family problems right now & my aunt works at the doctors that I go to as the receptionist. I stay with my grandparents & had gone to the doctors a few months ago & had told them I had gone for a different reason than what I was actually going for as to not worry them. My grandma had told my aunt & my aunt had looked at the computer & messaged me privately saying she knew I had gone for something else than what I had told my grandparents I was going for. I was super embarrassed & hadn’t wanted anyone to know, especially considering I didn’t even know what was going on. I went to a different building even & the nurse told me that she shouldn’t of even been able to see that. So fast forward to now and we have had a falling out. I recently went to the doctors & had wanted to ensure my records had a lock on them so she couldn’t see anything. I showed the doctors the texts & the doctor asked if they could tell higher ups & they had sent her home to investigate. My grandparents came home & asked me what I had done & she had called them to let them know she called the police on me for telling her job the information & for calling DSS (which I did not do). Is there anything she can do legally against me for this situation?

>she had called them to let them know she called the police on me for telling her job the information & for calling DSS She's full of crap. She's likely terrified she is going to lose her job (and she should be, because she's absolutely stepped in it) and is trying to exert pressure any way she can in an attempt to get you to recant. Complaining to a medical service provider about a HIPAA violation is not a crime. On the other hand, accessing patient data without proper authorization may be.
Healthcare professionals have an enormous responsibility to not mishandle patient information. Some of the practitioners I know aren't even allowed to look up THEIR OWN medical information on their systems. Your aunt will likely be fired for what she did. She can call the police all she wants, they will likely laugh at her. I'm not a lawyer, but I don't think you have anything to worry about - it seems you acted exactly as you should have.

If she did call the police there isn’t anything for them to even investigate. Extremely doubtful she would even call them though. What could she possibly say? “I violated the law and my workplace policy, my nephew told on me. I want to file a report.” She’s the one that needs to be on legal advice right now, she’s really going to need it.

Tell your grandparents that she violated your privacy. Otherwise you have nothing to be concerned about legally.

Patient information is private. It's kept private at every facility you go too. Any sharing of patient information (even amongst staff) is illegal especially if you have no part in that particular patients care. Your aunt violated your rights as a patient. She is going to be in a whirl of legal issues especially if you pursue this to the fullest. Her employer can also push this far since they can also be held liable for this breech of information. You won't be In any hot water. You're the victim here.

Is this in the United States? If it is, your aunt committed a major HIPAA violation and should lose her job over it. I have no idea why she would call the cops on you though. To be clear, you have done absolutely nothing wrong. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

Assuming you're in the US, your aunt has violated HIPAA and will be facing repercussions. You shouldn't be in any trouble, her calling the cops won't do anything because SHEs the one who violated a rule that is well known to anyone who works any position in healthcare. Not a lawyer, but I'm an EMT and Surg Tech, HIPAA is too well known and drilled into us all to be letting situations like this go under the radar. Aunt knew she was violating HIPAA

My grandparents came home & asked me what I had done & she had called them to let them know she called the police on me for telling her job the information & for calling DSS (which I did not do). Is there anything she can do legally against me for this situation?

Your aunt broke the law and called the cops on you? That's rich. She violated HIPAA. She can (and most likely will) lose her job and be fined steeply for what she did. She did this to herself. You've done nothing wrong.
Tell your grandparents that she violated your privacy. Otherwise you have nothing to be concerned about legally.

Aunt works at my doctors & “called the cops on me” Hello! Im having some family problems right now & my aunt works at the doctors that I go to as the receptionist. I stay with my grandparents & had gone to the doctors a few months ago & had told them I had gone for a different reason than what I was actually going for as to not worry them. My grandma had told my aunt & my aunt had looked at the computer & messaged me privately saying she knew I had gone for something else than what I had told my grandparents I was going for. I was super embarrassed & hadn’t wanted anyone to know, especially considering I didn’t even know what was going on. I went to a different building even & the nurse told me that she shouldn’t of even been able to see that. So fast forward to now and we have had a falling out. I recently went to the doctors & had wanted to ensure my records had a lock on them so she couldn’t see anything. I showed the doctors the texts & the doctor asked if they could tell higher ups & they had sent her home to investigate.

Patient information is private. It's kept private at every facility you go too. Any sharing of patient information (even amongst staff) is illegal especially if you have no part in that particular patients care. Your aunt violated your rights as a patient. She is going to be in a whirl of legal issues especially if you pursue this to the fullest. Her employer can also push this far since they can also be held liable for this breech of information. You won't be In any hot water. You're the victim here.

I mean she *can* file a lawsuit but it won’t go anywhere. She violated HIPAA by looking at your records without your expressed permission so she’s in some deep shit and telling on herself at this point. The cops are probably laughing over a doughnut .

Assuming you're in the US, your aunt has violated HIPAA and will be facing repercussions. You shouldn't be in any trouble, her calling the cops won't do anything because SHEs the one who violated a rule that is well known to anyone who works any position in healthcare. Not a lawyer, but I'm an EMT and Surg Tech, HIPAA is too well known and drilled into us all to be letting situations like this go under the radar. Aunt knew she was violating HIPAA

Make sure to file a HIPAA complaint against your aunt https://www.hhs.gov/hipaa/filing-a-complaint/index.html
If she did call the police there isn’t anything for them to even investigate. Extremely doubtful she would even call them though. What could she possibly say? “I violated the law and my workplace policy, my nephew told on me. I want to file a report.” She’s the one that needs to be on legal advice right now, she’s really going to need it.

I think your aunt is full of shit and is trying to make you look bad to your grandparents. I doubt she called the police. She is embarrassed, furious and scared. You don’t need to share any info with anyone that you don’t want to or explain. When the cops and DSS don’t show up, she will be caught out. You did nothing wrong and don’t need to change any part of your story if she is trying to get you to recant. I’m so sorry you would be violated like this. Keep in mind also that your text is not the evidence that will get her in trouble. Medical records access is recorded by the computer she was using.
Definitely a HIPAA violation. She’s toast, turn her in and watch her burn.

You can’t face and legal repercussion for that. You did everything right. At the end of the day SHE violated your rights under the laws of HIPPA. I work as a receptionist in a dentist office, we have to have regular HIPPA courses and training. You technically can’t even say a patients name on their own voicemail or inclose too many details in letters mailed to the home because of the off chance of a non approved family member hearing about it. And if you do want information about yourself released to a specific family member you have to fill out a whole form.

I am not a lawyer. HIPAA applies to everyone who has access to private health information of other people in the course of their work. The medical facility and your doctor is extremely grateful that you approached them, rather than file an official complaint. This means that they are able to take corrective action and self-report the violation to the the appropriate agencies. The doctor's office likely won't face fines for self-reporting but may face a reprimand (unlikely). The corrective action that the medical facility is likely to take include: * increasing security of patient records so that only staff with a need to access can access. A clerical employee may need access for billing purposes. Receptionists often pull files for the appointments that are taking place that day, but that doesn't mean they get to look through the files (obsolete in clinics with electronic patient records). * Increase the training of staff concerning when accessing patient records is appropriate/inappropriate. * Disciplinary action against your aunt. Quite honestly, I don't see how she can remain employed at this facility. Her actions were so egregious that she has left no wiggle room for her employer (the text messages show this). It is highly unlikely that any of the clinical staff will want her working with their patients. She may find it difficult to find work in any field that requires employees keep confidential information confidential - so medical, legal, accounting, education, the list goes on. There is no action local police will take against you, you have not committed an offense. Your aunt may be posturing to try and save face or get you to withdraw your complaint. However, it is too late to withdraw your complaint - the clinical staff are aware of her actions and they will proceed with corrective action even if you withdraw. You have nothing to worry about from the police or healthcare authorities. Your aunt, in addition to losing her job and the ability to find another job, may face legal repercussions, probably a fine if she admits the offense (things will go much worse if she tries to deny wrongdoing, based on those texts).

I think your aunt is full of shit and is trying to make you look bad to your grandparents. I doubt she called the police. She is embarrassed, furious and scared. You don’t need to share any info with anyone that you don’t want to or explain. When the cops and DSS don’t show up, she will be caught out. You did nothing wrong and don’t need to change any part of your story if she is trying to get you to recant. I’m so sorry you would be violated like this. Keep in mind also that your text is not the evidence that will get her in trouble. Medical records access is recorded by the computer she was using.
You did nothing illegal. In fact you did the exact right thing.

Aunt works at my doctors & “called the cops on me” Hello! Im having some family problems right now & my aunt works at the doctors that I go to as the receptionist. I stay with my grandparents & had gone to the doctors a few months ago & had told them I had gone for a different reason than what I was actually going for as to not worry them. My grandma had told my aunt & my aunt had looked at the computer & messaged me privately saying she knew I had gone for something else than what I had told my grandparents I was going for. I was super embarrassed & hadn’t wanted anyone to know, especially considering I didn’t even know what was going on. I went to a different building even & the nurse told me that she shouldn’t of even been able to see that. So fast forward to now and we have had a falling out. I recently went to the doctors & had wanted to ensure my records had a lock on them so she couldn’t see anything. I showed the doctors the texts & the doctor asked if they could tell higher ups & they had sent her home to investigate. My grandparents came home & asked me what I had done & she had called them to let them know she called the police on me for telling her job the information & for calling DSS (which I did not do). Is there anything she can do legally against me for this situation?

Patient information is private. It's kept private at every facility you go too. Any sharing of patient information (even amongst staff) is illegal especially if you have no part in that particular patients care. Your aunt violated your rights as a patient. She is going to be in a whirl of legal issues especially if you pursue this to the fullest. Her employer can also push this far since they can also be held liable for this breech of information. You won't be In any hot water. You're the victim here.

I mean she *can* file a lawsuit but it won’t go anywhere. She violated HIPAA by looking at your records without your expressed permission so she’s in some deep shit and telling on herself at this point. The cops are probably laughing over a doughnut .

Assuming you're in the US, your aunt has violated HIPAA and will be facing repercussions. You shouldn't be in any trouble, her calling the cops won't do anything because SHEs the one who violated a rule that is well known to anyone who works any position in healthcare. Not a lawyer, but I'm an EMT and Surg Tech, HIPAA is too well known and drilled into us all to be letting situations like this go under the radar. Aunt knew she was violating HIPAA
