You would have to petition them for it and i doubt they'd give them out without being forced to comply with the police. Have they ever sent you an email? Definitely sounds like someone who knows you. If you ignore it long enough they might get bored.

You could make a point of saying that this is the last time you're going to address it and won't be mentioning it again. At least when you're impersonator directs people to your channel the commenters will see the video where you address what's going on.

On the account he has made he has a message up saying "this is my alternate channel, check out my main channel with all the vids where im always on it" and then links my own channel. People who have been abused then go to my channel and leave their comments or threats, message me or report me, thinking that I left the racial abuse.

The threats from them dont bother me too much because I know they've been mislead. The messages I get go something along the lines of "youre a f-ing racist, if you say one more thing about *so and so youtuber* i will slit your throat in your sleep" etc.

I have had this person online for the past 2 months initially harass me and my YouTube channel by making multiple channels of their own to mass-dislike videos (this is easy to do on the site, you use an email to make one account but you can make up to 50 or so channels per account). He/She also frequently leaves abuse and threats on my posts. I ignored this for a while but they escalated their actions by creating a channel that is impersonating me and leaving racist and abusive comments on other channels. There have been times where the channels in question have filed complaints against me and have sent me death threats believing it to be myself which has hurt my business and has damaged my reputation etc. They have since threatened to take things even further beyond YouTube and given how persistent he/she is and how much work they have put into their actions I am worried that he/she may harass my family, friends or workplace and get me fired. Filing the standard complaints to YouTube does nothing as this person will simply make another account then another 50 channels and continue on as normal. I've tried everything I can from ignoring him to putting up disclaimers but he just keeps on and on day in day out. My channel is slowly getting killed by it and theres nothing I can do. The impersonation issue is obviously more concerning, I had one famous YouTuber slate me on their Snapchat which was followed by more death threats. I cant take it anymore. I want to get law enforcement involved but who do I talk to about my problem? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
