Your parents are enabling his addiction. Unfortunately, he will continue to use, sell, and steal from family until he is brought to heel. Which, sadly, might be a while so long as mom and dad continue to shield him from the consequences of his actions.

Actually, yeah. But, I've never been loud or particularly annoying about it. And, there is no legal requirment that the restaurant refund your money at all. They could have told you, "No." I suspect that if the witnesses are on "their side" it is because you were the one making a scene and...

Okaaaay then ... I think you have a greater sense of self-importance than the government or any corporation would impart upon you, but, if you feel this is happening and continue to feel powerless to try and stop it, nothing I can say or do will deter you from your desire to feel oppressed...

Yeah. It makes no sense, hence the skepticism. As for what you can do, you have received a number of suggestions including better locks, alarms, and cameras. Why YOU? You're talking about a huge and very expensive operation simply to give you the heeby-jeebies? For less money they could...

Of course, THAT ^^^^^ is not what the OP has described ... If this were one of those ops, they would not be leaving notice of their visit as the OP contends. They also wouldn't need to steal any notes, they could simply take images of them and leave them there so as not to arouse suspicion...

WHY would someone go through all of this? This sort of activity would be extraordinarily expensive, would require a level of sophistication and manpower that would be enormously costly, and would have to involve many people. Secrets are tough to keep between TWO people, let alone a dozen or...

Yeah, when you are on probation with search conditions (and they almost always are) the police can do that - even without a reason. They were in a place they had a legal right to be, they observed you and believed you to be under the influence of a controlled substance, obtained a search...

If dating means nothing more than holding hands and going places together before curfew and WITH your parents' permission, then it's legal ... even if unwise.

WHY did the "owner" come into the room? I have found that at many hotels housekeeping might come into the room before checkout if, after they knock and announce themselves, they receive no answer. Yes, there are sometimes nearly embarrassing moments - and this is why I either put the sign on...

Maybe you COULD have, but, apparently, you didn't. Apparently the judge thought otherwise. And, if you go around accusing dad of bribing a judge, you can probably expect a civil suit. It's not smart unless you have both video and audio of this activity occurring. He doesn't need "de facto"...

You do not have to do damage to a person to be guilty of assault (or battery ... or however WA defines your actions). At this point in time, you need an attorney if you are facing criminal charges. If you cannot afford an attorney, when you next attend court, ask for court appointed counsel...

Yes. In CA the police do not even need articulable reasonable suspicion to search someone on probation. If I see a probationer walking on the street or driving past, I can detain them for a search with no specific reasoning. They can search your residence, belongings, and vehicle without...

And, we have even negotiated away time-and-a-half for hours worked in training (done many moons ago when the agency had higher staffing and sent people off to outside training for dozens of hours each year ... then the economy tanked, POST stopped almost all reimbursement, and we never revisited...

What does your MOU (labor contract) say on the subject of overtime? THAT is where you will have to look. Was this approved OT? In other words, did a supervisor assign or approve the extra work hours? Depending on what the agreement is regarding shifts and wages it is possible that 12.5 hours...

If he broke it and no one reported it (or she was the sole witness and recanted - as frequently happens) then of course it won't work. No one says you HAVE to get a restraining order. But, if you want there to be a hope of preemptive action, you'll need one. If you want to wait until you are...

I beg to differ that a restraining order is useless in most cases. While it won't stop a person from committing violence if they choose to, what it DOES do is give the police the ability to take action before it gets to that level. Without a restraining order, the communication might be...

And what state are you in? And how did he threaten you with the gun?

What state are you in? Since you have not yet reported these threats to the police, I think it's clear that you do not take them too seriously, so that might play against you with regards to any criminal report or even a restraining order. But, depending on your state, the claims alone might...

I deal with confrontation and conflict every day. I choose not to deal with it when I'm off duty. It takes nothing away from me to pause for a moment and wave a receipt at the guy. I don't feel the need to wear a frown and be confrontational just because I can. I am always bemused by people...

I just show it to them. Why not? It's easier than causing a scene.
