I do not know if this thread is still being monitored/read however I have decided that I should record this information for reference/historical/evidential purposes. I am checking into numerous aspects of this as well as the possibility that I am now being harrassed. I have just been visited for the THIRD time regarding this, what I will term as "address recording".
Visit 1: First, approximately 3 months ago at my front door(I have now begun recording quotes, paperwork and if visited again will require anyone to stand where my cameras can record them and I will tape record as well). White Female (overweight, brown hair, ~45-50 yrs, attitudinal) who advised me that she was there to record information concerning my dwelling. I advised her that I would not be answering Census related questions to which she replied "You will have to deal with that next year, I am here to record certain information".
Visit 2: I noticed a car parked on my neighbor's yard next door and had remained there for approximately 20 mins. I approached the gentleman Black Male, ( ~40-50, courteous). He advised me that he was checking some information concerning the census. He had no questions for me directly so I did not pursue nor obtain credentials or any paperwork (that will and has been the last time I will not pursue all documentation I require).
Visit 3: Another visit, to my front door. White Male, extremely overweight, glasses, balding, ~50-60 yrs. He advised that he was verifying some Census information. I asked him if this had anything to do with the Census GPS'ing my front door. He replied that there "were errors with the GPS". I said I will need paperwork and documentation. He brought me the standard half sheet "Census 2010...Your Ansers are Confidential" I recorded his name on his "badge" and the office to which he reported. He said he needed to "verify that this was a single family dwelling" I motioned and said "I believe you can see that". He said he was "verifying there were no rental properties..." I said "No" He said (forcibly) "NO? ..." I said "you will not enter my property" He said he did not need to.
I think 3 visits of the Census bureau in 3 months, ~ 1 year prior to the actual census year constitutes harrassment. I plan to contact numerous agencies however that will not include my Senator(s) or Congressman as that has proven useless in the past. I will record these dealings whereever I feel prudent so as to protect myself and my family. (I live in Palm Beach County, Florida)
