Cheating death and fighting communism: that is how a fellow officer once described our job. It was meant to be funny, but as time went on it seemed all too true.
I spent more than ten years in law enforcement, all of it on the street in uniform patrol. I've been a patrol officer, instructor, sergeant and lieutenant.
Do not report crimes here. Nothing here should be considered legal advice. All opinions are my own.
If someone is not going to be charged with anything, detectives are not likely to hold the subject for any period of time. States vary on how long an officer has to charge someone (generally 24 or 48 hours).
Yes.
Nothing in reality is ever textbook perfect. There are too many variables in every investigation and interaction. Also, criminals rarely cooperate.
Contact the local police department recruiter. He or she should be able to help.

I don't know.
1. Noise violations are not crimes.
2. Just because you think it is noisy, doesn't mean it is a violation of local ordnance.
3. Calling the cops on your neighbor for a noise violation is a pretty petty thing to do.
4. Asking the government for permission to do something with your own property (i.e. your obsession with permitting) is repugnant. Even so, it is not likely enforceable by police officers.
I feel sorry for your neighbor.
I'm not about to make a judgement call on what is or is not a violation of some state's laws on cyber bullying. However, I would encourage you and everyone else to (1) ignore other people's hurtful words and (2) if you don't have anything nice to say, say nothing.
