If a criminal case was dismissed with prejudice and law enforcement 1 year later search your house accusing you of same thing is it considered harassment?
It can be. A dismissal with prejudice is equivalent to a "NOT GUILTY" Verdict in your case. That means that the Police, no matter what they find, whether it be a bloody glove or a video of your committing the alleged crime, it cannot reopen its case against you because to do so would put you in Double Jeopardy and violate your 5th amendment right. It is called malicious prosecution and you can sue the police department, city, and DA for it. I really don't know what they are trying to do except harass you because they cannot file criminal charges for the same offense because you've been acquitted. Now, if you commit the same crime after you were acquitted or continued with your illegal conduct after the acquittal, then you can be tried again and they can search your house. A little more should have been mentioned, but oh well. Hope this helps.
