Get a ringer to file the complaint; an out-of-town relative, etc.

You can do that, but what standing does the ringer have? How would
they be directly affected? If somebody who doesn't live near the
poop-dude turned in a complaint, it wouldn't get investigated. I
would be thinking someone was trying to pull a prank or has a grudge.


If he has another neightbor he doesn't like, he could use his name
and address. I doubt the county has more than a passing interest in
*who* complains.

A county agency can be subject to civil lawsuits if an investigation, based
on a 'complaint', was not valid. The validity of a complaint is always
established by a legitimate report. That does not mean that a county agency
cannot initiate an investigation. But if the agency investigated and took
action based on an complaint, it will document that the complaint is from a
real and valid source.
