As a land owner in Moultonborough and tax payer, I do find this kind of behavior unfavorable. Generally I find the police in the town do a great job, but you always have exceptions......

Now lets look at the Warrent for not licenscing a dog issue.... first a warrent needs to be issued by a judge the last I knew, and if a judge is willing to issue a warrent for arrest for that type of mistameanor then the problem isn't as much with the cop as it is with the judge. In any case what I would suggest is getting the officers name and badge number and then getting in touch with the police dept. and filing a complaint. Asking for a name and badge number are legitimate questions to ask a police officer that is acting in official capacity. And If an officer is making threats such as I will get a warrant then his superiors need to know so they can act upon the information. And know one complaint against an officer for something might not do very much but if an officer gets several complaints against them, then something general happens.

At any rate a Warrant doesn't just get issued by a town or a Police Dept. there are legal steps to that process....

Ok my babbling here is done......
