Description
I have a request I submitted on this website on March 11th, 2019 (9 months ago): https://seeclickfix.com/issues/5512452-content-blocked-by-rejections
For 9 months straight, I have been using this SeeClickFix request to document the ongoing harassment and abuse by my neighbors, who have continued subjecting me, my girlfriend, and my other neighbors in my building to horrific abuse for almost 2 years straight now.
For some inexplicable reason (probably just to sweep the issue under the rug), 15 minutes ago today (Monday, December 2nd, 2019), my 9-month old request was forcefully closed and placed into a permanently closed state, preventing me from commenting on or re-opening the request, by Alameda police officer Florence Lopez.
A few minutes ago, after I discovered that Florence Lopez did this to my request, I resubmitted it under the following URL: https://seeclickfix.com/issues/7043241-police-general
A few minutes later, Florence Lopez stepped in and closed the request again, permanently disabling my ability to comment on or reopen the request. In his closing comment, Florence Lopez falsely stated the following:
"Keeping the issue open on SeeClick will not help your issue."
This is false. Keeping the issue open on SeeClickFix has allowed me to spread awareness of the issue to the public. I have been contacted by multiple Alamedans who have read my request on this website and were horrified by the abuse that we are going through. I have garnered a significant amount of support from the community. My original request even had something like 15 or 20 up votes on it.
Keeping the request open on SeeClickFix DOES help me, even though the police continue doing what they do best (ignoring the problem and letting people break laws in Alameda to their heart's content), my keeping it open on SeeClickFix helps spread awareness to other Alamedans. It helps educate and inform other people in this community about what is happening, and when the next election season comes, people will be able to look at requests like mine on SeeClickFix to see what major problems we have in this city (government corruption), they will know which city officials are responsible for corrupt practices like censoring law abiding taxpaying citizens using this site in good faith and not violating the terms of service at all (like FLorence Lopez, for example) and they will know who to and not to vote for in the next election.
My keeping this request open on SeeClickFix, while it might not help stop my neighbors from abusing and harassing me, does help me in helping educate the public about public corruption and disorder in Alameda, and what actions We the People need to take in order to reclaim control of our own city.
If you close this request, I will simply re-submit it, over and over again. I will not be censored. I will not let you silence me. I will continue to let the public know what you are doing, and will thwart any attempts to stop me from getting this message out.
Police have made numerous attempts in the past to dismiss and sweep my request under the rug. In a separate, related request, a police officer posted a comment falsely saying "The issue has been dealt with" and then attempted to close it, only for me to re-open it again and point out (along with a wealth of video proof, written documentation, etc) proving, CONCLUSIVELY, that the problem WAS NEVER "dealt with" at ALL and remains a massive nuisance to this day.
So far my neighbor has destroyed the lock mechanism on my mailbox and I've been permanently locked out of my mailbox for the past two weeks. They have trespassed on our property multiple times, defacing our property, and dumping trash in our driveway. They have also spent the last 2 years depriving us of peace, keeping 4 dogs locked up in their apartment 24/7 which is i.l.l.e.g.a.l in Alameda (alameda has a pet ordinance that limits 3 dogs per household), keeping their doors open even when it is below 50 degrees outside just to force us to listen to their screaming, shrieking barking dogs, loud music and constant partying.
I have extensive documentation, both in written and video format, which can be found all through the comments section of my original request here: https://seeclickfix.com/issues/5512452-content-blocked-by-rejections
Note: My original request body was also wiped out a few months ago and replaced with the text "Content Block by Rejections" despite the fact that my post was 100%, fully compliant with the site's terms of service, did not contain a single trace of profanity, and was allowed to remain up all year up until a few months ago.
Then, to hammer the "final nail in the coffin", Florence Lopez straight-up closed my request altogether, permanently crippling my ability to publicly document the abuse my neighbors have been putting us all through for the last 2 years straight.
Please re-open my request or I will be forced to continue documenting my neighbor's abuse and lawbreaking behavior here, which is creating a problem for other people who want to follow the issue. For other people interested in the horror that is happening to my girlfriend and I, they will not be able to thoroughly track the documentation of the abuse in this request since most of it is in my previous request.
People should not have to jump between different requests on this website just to follow one issue. There should be a 1 to 1 relationship between every issue and request on this website. IT does not make sense for me to have to submit 2 requests, 3 requests, 4 requests, etc, just to document ONE problem. ONE PROBLEM should equal ONE request. Unfortunately, because my requests are constantly being censored, deleted and closed by corrupt city employees, I am forced to submit multiple, duplicate requests just to keep documenting the problem for the world to see. I should not have to do this. Please restore my request immediately.
If this request gets closed I will immediately re-submit it as the problem HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED AT ALL
Every single day and night we are kept awake by loud rap music, screaming and barking from the dogs at 2614 Central Ave. Every day the owner trespasses on our property, every day his family members come on our property to vandalize my mailbox and steal my mail. every day they abuse us. every day. they did it again this morning, last night. It has not been resolved
DO NOT CLOSE THIS REQUEST. THE PROBLEM IS STILL ONGOING AND I WANT TO DOCUMENT IT HERE FOR EVERYONE TO SEE.

Monday, December 2nd, 2019. ~8:30 PM.
We arrived home from work last night at around 8:30 PM. We rolled into our building's carport and quietly got out of our vehicle, proceeding up the stairs to my unit.
Because of my neighbors' history of harassing us whenever they see us outside, I've made a point about coming in and out of my unit as quietly and stealthily as possible to avoid being noticed by them, to prevent being harassed.
My girlfriend and I were trying as best as we could to go inside my apartment unnoticed by the neighbors at 2614 Central Ave so they would not harass us and let us have a peaceful evening.
As soon as we got to my front door, one of the daughters of the owner of 2614 Central Ave, who was apparently sitting inside one of their SUVs parked in their carport with their lights off, began repeatedly laying on her car horn and honking at me. When I looked in her direction to see what the commotion was about, she began honking even more. My home security cam caught the entire incident on video.
Her sister, the owner's other daughter, came out and started flipping me off. I lost my cool and engaged in a verbal altercation with them. There was a big scene that left all of us quite shaken. All we wanted to do was have a peaceful evening, but they wouldn't let us do that.
The police were called and there was a huge amount of drama last night. This is why I was so angry when Florence Lopez fraudulently closed my request yesterday. The issue is obviously not resolved as just last night when we got home they started viciously harassing us again.
I couldn't even go to sleep last night after that. I was so enraged that my whole body was shaking.
This issue needs to remain open indefinitely until these people stop abusing us. As long as their abuse continues these issues need to remain open so I can continue documenting what they've been doing to us since April 2018.
For anyone who is just now discovering this request, please be advised that this is not my original request about this problem. My original request about this problem was submitted back in March, 9 months ago. Most of my documentation of this abuse can be found in the comments section on my previous request here: https://seeclickfix.com/issues/5512452-content-blocked-by-rejections
As you can see in the comments on my previous request, this has been an ongoing problem for years.
It has not stopped at all, and it hasn't even been a full 24 hours since their last harassment episode.

Had to make a new account because the corrupt admins put another nonsensical automatic censor on my account. My previous account is permanently disabled from commenting or posting on seeclickfix so I had to make an entirely new one (again). This is part of an ongoing, evil campaign of censorship taking place on this site.

Also to answer the question Martha asked me in my previous request about the mailbox (hopefully they find my new request here and see my answer to their question - the fact that I had to resubmit it as a separate request has essentially disconnected me from everyone who was following my original request):
I did speak with the officers who came out last night about the mailbox. They told me that it was already documented. I have not been able to learn anything else about the status of my mailbox. It does not sound like they actually care and are going to do anything. My landlord has not fixed the lock, so I am still locked out of my mailbox. It has been about two weeks since I was last able to open my mailbox.
So far it doesn't sound like they even plan on dusting for fingerprints or conducting any real investigation. They just don't care. Looks like my neighbor will get away with destroying my mailbox and I will permanently have no mailbox until I move out.
