Paranoid

Part of our fence fell down awhile ago in a windstorm and today was the first day Daniel thought to put it back up. So he was out there in the alley, putting the section of the fence back up and the neighbor started peeking around trying to spy and see what he was doing. No surprise, they're always spying on us. Anyway, Daniel finally said, "I'm putting my fence back up, is there a problem?" and the guy starts threatening to kick his ass and getting all froggy on him, "Do you have something to say to me? You want to fight?" so Daniel simply says, "No," and went back into our yard, without touching their property or him. I'm really proud of him for holding his tongue this time, but the last time there was a confrontation with these same neighbors, they called the cops and told them we were drug dealers and the cops came and tore our house apart. So now we're on guard, waiting to see if we see any sheriffs out this way. I'm so scared, though, last time was one of the most horrifying and humiliating and ridiculous situations I've ever been in, and I'm not even close to ready to deal with it again. Daniel has the US Marshall's number on speed dial and he's carrying the phone around, just in case. We live on private property, with no trespassing signs posted. So, if they show up, we're calling the US Marshall, because they still recognize common and constitutional law and they can run the sheriffs out. But man, I don't want to deal with this bullshit again.

My question to you guys is, how likely do you think it would be for a piddly ass county sheriff's department to come back out to investigate claims of drug dealing when they've already been out here and saw that we were not dealers for themselves? There is practically NO traffic at my house, other than roomie leaving for work and coming home and the occasional trip to the store or gas station, and me and my rides to work and back. There is really NO probable cause for anyone to come out here and even bother. Do you really think they'd waste their time and gas money to go out to a place they've already torn apart a couple of years before? I just want some assurance that I won't be harassed again. What a day off.

 

he should have ignored them

sorry I cant give legal advice..just make sure you dont have too much stuff on hand

 

Well, that's obvious. But we're both kind of like that, you can only push us so far before we HAVE to say something. But last time he dared them to catch us smoking pot ("I know all you guys do over there is smoke weed" "Oh really? Catch us!"), and this time he just let it go and walked away. I told him I was really proud of him for being the bigger man, especially since if he had fought the guy, he'd probably be on his way to prison right now, because he'd kill the guy if there was physical confrontation. But I'm starting to relax, it's been a few hours and it's still been quiet out here, hopefully it will just stay that way, lol. I really wish our car was legal because we'd just go somewhere else for the day, but at the same time, I feel like a bear who has to protect her home and babies (my animals, lol). Grrr.

 

Your only assurance is your 4th amendment protection against search and seizure. You can always insist that the police get a warrant.

 

Also, it's always a good idea to contribute to policeman's charities on all levels of local law enforcement.

 

Yeah, we're just not going to open the door to them unless they have one right in hand (which they won't, they definitely didn't the first time), and we'll call the US Marshalls and have them escort them off our property if they will not leave peacefully. Luckily you don't have to open your door to cops without a warrant.

 

No, it's actually a terrible idea. That makes you look more suspicious. Ask any American law enforcer and they'll tell you, the cars with those stickers saying they support the police are automatic red lights for them.

 

I already know where they don't search, seeing as I've already seen them through here once, so I have my hiding places. Also, they are NOT stepping a foot in without a warrant. And they have to have more than one probable cause to get a warrant, the only one they would have is reports of suspected drug activity. Seeing as these same people have pointed their fingers our direction once, I'm pretty sure it'll just be a boy who cried wolf scenario.

 

poison the neighbor that'll shut his stupid ass up

 

It would be really nice to be able to, lol. But we'd be first suspects on the list!

 

I'm not suggesting the sticker. I'm suggesting donating so much that you're known, personally.

If you have the resources. I knew a guy who got away with just about anything because his parents gave thousands to the policeman's ball. He had just got a new car, and we were riding around smoking from a glass pipe. A cop pulled him over and smoke literally billowed out the window. When the cop recognized him, he asked him if he'd just got a new car and said how nice it was and have a good day, Sir.

That guy...he was the shit, but he knew he was the shit, so...oh well.

 

well lets make a deal:

you kick my grandpas ass, and i'll poison your neighbors

 

We don't have that kind of money. Our neighbors' beef with us is because they want to scare us into moving out so they can buy this property and the property next door (our family owns 4 lots total on this street) so they can turn this into an RV park. That's against zone laws, but it's not like the law has stopped them from doing whatever the hell they want before. But they're so stupid, we own this land and the houses (2) on it, it's privately owned property, we're in debt to no one (as far as the property is concerned), so they can't do shit but try to make our lives hell. And that just makes us want to stay even more. I didn't want to live here the rest of my life, but if I do and it makes those fuckers unhappy and pissed off the rest of their lives, I'll consider myself happy and successful.

 

Write down every single thing they do to bug, annoy and otherwise make you uncomfortable. Document everything.

After you've got a stack of shit high enough to bury them, contact a lawyer.

 

Set them up for something, kill their dog, or burn their house down.

 

When they were letting their dogs run through our yard all the time, we almost put a bowl of antifreeze out there for them. But I didn't want all the neighborhood cats getting into it, too, so we didn't. Haha, they spy on us especially hard when we barbecue outside because they think we're going to set their house on fire. Not my fault they lined their whole back yard with flammable trees.

 

Nothing will happen.

Killing their dog would put you in prison.

Just know your rights.

 

Killing their dog would only put me in prison if I did it in their yard. :cheers2: If their dogs come into our yard, we can kill them. I don't want to, though, I love animals too much, it's not their fault that they have shitty people for owners.

 

Dose them. JK

 

Invite them to a swinger party at your house. If they show up, make them take off their clothes and then laugh at them and send them back home.
