I had to, once, after an ex-boyfriend kicked my door down, stole a bunch of tools, and then when I bumped into him a few days later sneered and made noises that he had already dropped the dime on me for my grow.
A quick restraining order and a formal complaint of B&E put an end to that quick.
I'm a grower, not a criminal, and i don't feel any guilt over protecting my home from intruders.
Generally though, I keep a respectable distance between myself and law enforcement, and any dealings I have with them are courteous.
