Does anyone have any idea of what is/has happening/ed?

I tried to denounce the same bloke but as I didnt have his name and address they wouldnt accept it. seven months later the Policia Local came and asked me for my passport details and then I received a registered letter. I now have to go to court in about 10 days time. I was denounced for taking his photograph without his permission for letting his dog excrete outside my flat every day, the PL were not interested and nor were the Guardia although it is an offence.
