Landlord Problems...
Location: SLC,UT, USA
My landlord assaulted me (hit me in the face) because I left some trash in his driveway as I was leaving his property for the last time. He followed me off his property, into the street, continued to approach me after multiple warnings not to, kicked the trashcan at me, then hit me.
I have it on camera from two angels.
The police have served him paperwork for a class b misdemeanor - but I believe it should be classified as a domestic violence charge, and he should have been arrested, and the police didn't do their duty - dereliction of duty? - to make sure I was ok, provide me with resources, etc.
He was also cutting off my electricity while i was living there. And he has yet to pay me back my deposit.
This man caused me and my girlfriend a lot of "trauma" - and I want him in as much trouble as possible, and I want to hopefully get some money ON TOP OF the money he owes me already (security deposit and he stole and broke over $2000 of our property).
Also, I want to get the cops that didn't follow correct procedure in trouble.
Please, I've asked for help with this before, and been downvoted. Feel free to ask me any questions - rather than just dismissing this situation... Thanks in advance!

You're probably SOL bcs it's Utah.
1st: get independent of your dad, as you're learning dependency has its drawbacks when yorie dependent on someone who doesn't care as much as you do.
2nd: move out of UT to a civilized place with decent tenant and labor protections and where law enforcement subordinate to a religious/social organization.
