I currently have a wireless surveillance system at another property. Can I prosecute a trespasser who had been previously warned by the police for trespassing if I am not there. A police officer told me I had to be on the property to prosecute for trespassing. She had an attitude that day and did not want to deal with me. I am not sure if she gave me accurate information.

The police have to file a charge first though and they say I have to be there. Do the police have to take the complaint?var __chd__ = {'aid':11079,'chaid':'www_objectify_ca'};(function() { var c = document.createElement('script'); c.type = 'text/javascript'; c.async = true;c.src = ( 'https:' == document.location.protocol ?

You have the right to go to the police station and complete a complaint form. Whether or not they proceed on the basis of the complaint will be the decision of the prosecutor
