A Camera on My House - Page 5

fargon · 06-28-2006, 08:33 AM

Bri don't apologize, but don't let this nut run your life. If nothing else get an old camcorder at a garage sale and point it at her house, it don't matter if it works or not. I used this on a annoying neighbor in Laguna Beach, and it works.

I have had to deal with nut jobs from time to time and they always respond in a self destructive way. all you have to do is wait, and she will do it to herself.

I am also a person of this legal harassment. I have a neighbor who has a camera on my entire house!! IT is SOOOOOOOO annoying and wrong!! I have seen his video..and it has my house one side to the next in it and he is video taping my children as well as myself and our neighbors. He has tried using the video against us and still nothing is wrong with it. He claims my children to be throwing rocks at his house when in reality my daughter is out in my drive eating peanuts and throwing the shells to the road..then another of my son throwing a rock up the street and giving it to the landlord stating we are doing something wrong..it took me a week to get her to see that and to dismiss the evidence he had against us..it is crazy!!!! He also used a video of my son retrieving a ball off his property claiming that it did damage to his house when in reality in the video it never even touched it. This guy is single and I find it rather strange that he would videotape my children..and apparently is trying to cause problems with it. I am for any idea of stopping this..I am sure there are other people with this problem out there. It needs to be STOPPED!!! I am with you as far as trying to remain legal on the fight against the cameras. But as to how far you can go without it becoming a legal battle is another sticky situation..but we should not go down without a fight!!!!!!!!!!!

He is recording your children? Maybe you should have a chat to the local police. I don't know how the law works in your jurisdiction, but the filming of other people's children is not tolerated in many jurisdictions due to concerns about child pornography. If he was raided tomorrow, he may have a hard time justifying to the police why he has these recordings of your children. So if you approach it from the "child pornography" angle, it is more likely to be investigated than the more general "filming my house" approach.

I have a similar problem we have lived here and owned our house for 6 yrs. We have a couple that live next to us that are in there 70's and there 50 yr old son still lives with them we have gotton along in the past and when we moved in the old owners said they were a VERY strange family but have only recently found out why nobody in the neighborhood like them! They have at least 6 vidoe cameras outside there house up high and only recently they face all parts of our yard! The police say that they can do this. We have other neighbors that have moved because of this and everyone calls the cops on them but nothing ever happens to them! We have gotten several warnings for noise and threatened we need to get along with them but we have tried. They play this annoying elevator music through a loud speaker and when anyone calls the cops they have a scanner so they shut it off. I have several meeting with the chief of police and nothing has been done except till now. We just recieved a $205.00 fine for unnesecary noise for my husband working an his motorcycle in the garage, so we are now fighting that why they can continue taking pictures of us in our yard and standing in there front yard with a hand video camera filming us and our small children so just to dive into a little this isn't even half of it but I'll be damned if were moving!!!!

Welcome to the Cellar, meltramel.

I sure there are lawyers out there that could give us a handle on the legalities here. It may vary from state to state, though.

I wonder how bright an infrared light or how strong a laser is necessary to take out a camera?

meltramel · 05-03-2007, 01:18 PM

Thank you, I really hate to stoop to there level and start calling the cops for everything they do thats such a waste of the taxpayers money . I just called to talk to the chief of police whos my step fathers friend and he says my hands are tied they have to respond to every call and its perfectly legal for them to video tape us, which how do I know what they do with the videos of my children jumping on the trampoline! They are just not all together up there! I think there may be some inbreading.....J/K. So now we are going to take there pics and start video taping them in there garden and making any ind of noise. I cringe just thinking its not even summer yet!

Train your dog to bark at the camera. Especially at night.

Brianna, if you find your neighbor's actions disturbing enough to become proactive in seeking professional mediation to "bust" her behavior, this may interest you. It is a loooooooong shot that requires you to use a camcorder (own, borrow, or rent one); but, could be well worth the effort. If you are lucky enough to be selected, you will have the opportunity to diligently "tell it like it is" about your neighbor on national television!

There is always something you can do about it Bri. Many are often legal but a little strange.

Brainstorm a bit and I'm sure you can think of some things.

seakdivers · 07-05-2006, 10:57 PM

Bri - I just had a thought.... tape up racy (but not entirely nude) posters of Carmen Electra & Pamela Anderson in your windows (facing outwards of course). If she's a prudish old bat then it just might make her knock it off.

If you are lucky she will stop looking out her windows all together!

If you are un-lucky, she will be knocking on your door with a big smile. Eeewww...

Trilby · 07-06-2006, 07:15 AM

After much debate, my ex husband (who works for the city we live in) is going to POLITELY tell her that he feels very uncomfortable about her videotaping our son and would she please stop? He will offer to help her angle the camera so it will film her property and not mine. I really hope this works.

Elspode · 07-06-2006, 10:18 AM

That sounds rational...so the biddy will probably reject it out of hand.

I hope it works.

zippyt · 07-06-2006, 10:25 PM
