"I can do what I want on my property!"

What a couple of jackasses.

Granted I think the law sounds pretty dumb (unless it's about water conservation then it actually makes sense) but the argument of "I can do what I want on my property!" is about as stupid as it comes.

I wonder if these jackasses tried to push their sense of entitlement further by walking around naked on their property and dumping all of their garbage on their front yard for two months. The government can't do anything because it's their property, right?

I don't understand the complaint.

We have ordinances that say your animal has to be on a leash in public areas and it is limited to 8 feet. But that doesn't apply to your property.

[Tgo01]

I don't understand the complaint.

If I had to guess it has something to do with some beautification bullshit. It's "ugly" to see people washing their cars and lawn furniture.

I hate Nazi fucks like that. Go live someplace with other uptight assholes and rock your homeowners association rules all day long. You live in a place like that and you deserve to have some old dude with nothing better to do but measure your grass with his ruler to make sure you're good to go. Don't fucking tell me what car (or truck) I can park in my goddamn driveway or what I'm allowed to put on my porch.

edit: So, according to the big man with a badge, anything in public view is public? So... there is no private property then unless you're like a mile off the road and hopefully obscured from view in case some dipshit wants to bust out some binoculars? And how high up does public property go?

In the cop's defense (assuming he was reading the law verbatim) it is kind of ambiguous. It doesn't say "on public land" or "on public property" it says "in public places."

My front yard is my private property but it's not exactly private in the sense that no one can see what I'm doing out there. Anyone walking or driving by can see everything I'm doing on my private front yard.

I blame the town for A) Making the stupid law in the first place and B) Well no, just A I guess.

There are lots of different ordinances that vary by city. Some of them include not being allowed to have clotheslines in visible sight.

My little piss ant town has an ordinance that the door of a shed on your property can't face a road. I'm not joking! And it has to be so many feet away from your house and so many feet away from the road.

Only problem is when you start reporting people for breaking these laws then that person starts digging around and finding other obscure nonsense ordinances and they start reporting everyone in their neighborhood for laws they are breaking.

You can't wash your car in your driveway? What kind of fucked up rule is that? I've never heard of such a thing.

There's a good possibility that these guys are total assholes to the neighbor though. Who knows wtf is going on. This is some silly ass shit.

[Wheelerm]

I remember a news story a couple of years ago where this creep was staring at his neighbor's minor daughters through binoculars. He was in a tree house he had built on his own property so he could observe these girls over their fence. What made the case really creepy is that he was dressed in a pair of underwear only and touching himself while watching them. The father called the police to file a complaint, and the police arrested him. At his trial, the judge dismissed the case because this creep was on his own private property, and the judge said that there was no crime committed.

IIRC, the judge agreed that the case was creepy and the guy was sick, but he could not really do anything since there were no laws preventing you from wearing your underwear outside and watching your neighbors.

I've seen it before, but it depends on where you live. Sometimes it has to do with town ordinances and drainage issues, other times it's the HOA Politburo flexing their penii.

But yeah, there's something else going on that's not being told in the video. Policedude said he had been out there multiple times.

I wonder if he got visited by some rough guys named Buck and Bubba who explained to him you don't watch little girls or else they break your legs. One could hope. Pretty sad your children aren't safe in their own backyard to play without some pervert eyeing them.

I think this is a simple misunderstanding. The scripture says "do what u [sic] want, what u want with my body", not property.

Pretty sure he said they (the bandits) don't want them (coppers) to keep coming back. It was basically a situation where they didn't see them doing what the neighbor claimed, so they couldn't do anything but tell them they couldn't do those various criminal acts at their house.

There was a convicted predator in my neighborhood doing this except it was with soccer fields. When you put a dot on the soccer fields the house he bought was like the closest he could be to the field but far enough that he was outside of the distance. He didn't build a treehouse, just sat on his deck watching them through his telescope lens.

Easy fix. Wait for him to be looking and mirror his scope. A few good sunspots and he'll stop.

Some members of the John Birch Society in the 1960s used to say that "Property Rights Trump Civil Rights". This was a reaction to the Civil Rights Movement. Therefore on their property, they can treat people as they see fit. If their company is on their property and you work for their company, you have only the civil rights they say you do on the job.

Thankfully the Civil Rights Act made such actions illegal. But this thinking shows how far some people will go to act immorally.

Now there's a sports-related fashion statement I would support.
