Title: What would you do?
Post by: cateyes1 on July 31, 2020, 06:31:06 am
We have a neighbor who has been complaining about our 13 month old dog barking. So far she wrote us 2 anonymous letters (we know they are from her) She had the police come to our house and just yesterday the Animal control officer. We noticed that she now has a camera pointed into our yard. We think to get audio and video of our dog barking....what would you do about this camera? If it was to monitor her yard I can understand that, but she is clearly watching our yard.

Didn't you mention this before? If the dog really barks ALL THE TIME as in CONSTANTLY then she would have a legit complaint and could do something about it. What did the police say? What did Animal Control say? I did not think most cameras people have on their home includes audio. It may. Some of the doorbell cameras I know do.  But the houses would need to be pretty close to pick up audio in your yard. And I would think video including audio of your property would be illegal.  And there is no way you can prove what is videoed unless someone actually saw what the camera was picking up.  You would need to talk to a lawyer. Nobody in here can tell you for certain. If the camera is attached to their house there probably is not anything you can do. If you could prove it solely monitored YOUR property then I would think that was illegal.  But who knows.  If you are in public anybody who sees you is free to take your picture and video you and there is nothing you can do.  The way things are now they probably could in your yard as well.

A couple years ago something happened a few houses down (at rental property) and the police were there.  Some teens from another house went and stood in the road and videoed.  No idea why other than being nosy. But since it all happened outside there was nothing they could do to stop them from videoing.

Does the dog stay outside all the time?  If it does you may want to invest in your own camera if you in any way can afford it.  They may do something to your dog. It is super easy to poison cats and dogs. And most will eat food if you give it to them.  If it is an indoor dog I would not let it out alone.

My neighbor dogs bark so much that if I don't hear them for a while I look out and see if I can see them and see if they are okay. lol But usually if they are barking esp at night something is out there.

All dogs bark, that’s what they do.  Right now I have 5 and they spend most of their time inside.  I have 2 little ones (less than 10 pounds) so when the dogs go out one of us goes out too, we have hawks.  If they bark longer than a few minutes we bring them in.  If your dog is outside all the time, please bring him in, but if he occasionally barks I doubt anyone can do anything, all dogs bark.  As far as cameras pointing at your house, that’s creepy.  Maybe you can contact someone in your city to see if that is legal, it might be an invasion of privacy.  Good luck!

Hmm legally your neighbor cannot have a camera pointed into your yard or anyone elses thats invasion of privacy. She can have it pointed at her fence. She could be sued for that. If the dog is barking during the day not a thing your neighbor can do about it. If your dog is barking after 10 at night than she could legally rightfully complain and possibly have something done about it.

I emailed the police and they came to our house yesterday about the camera. Unless she has it pointed into our house there is nothing we can do about it. OR unless I am running around in me yard "naked" its ok that she has it directed into our yard. I don't get it but....I told the officer that I just feel creeped out knowing she can watch us, but I guess she can UGH

Yes I did. Sasha is never alone outside and she never barks for long only when she wants to play or she see's other dogs go by. This neighbor is looney tunes.

You are wrong about pretty much everything you said.  Not sure where you are getting your info.  You cannot sue somebody for having cameras that capture somebody else's yard. Even door bell cameras usually will capture video across the street.  NOTHING you can do about it. I have a neighbor that lives down the street and she has cameras pointed at the road and she monitors EVERY car that goes up or down the road. There is nothing that can be done about it.

Where do you get this magic time of 10:00? If a dog barks CONSTANTLY no matter what time of day or night it IS there is something you could do about it. Obviously that is not the case here. It also I guess depends on where you live. Some places have stricter laws about noise. Technically a dog barking is not any different than kids screaming all day long in the yard.

not sure about the camera..understand the dog barking though..we have a neighbor whose dogs bark at a fly...and when he starts he will bark for hours non stop..you would think he would get tired and quit barking for a minutes..but this dog literally will bark for hours non stop...and they do not even come out to see if something is wrong or anything...maybe the cameras are pointed to the end of her property line and it looks like it may be on yours..hopefully...good luck

There is nothing you can do.  We were walking through a parking lot a while back and somebody took our picture.  I did not confront him.  I did ask a friend that is a cop about it and he said if you are in public you have no expectation to privacy.  Still does not look like random people could legally take my picture or video me but apparently if I don't like it I can stay at home.  I gave an example earlier of something involving police in a yard a few houses down.  Another neighbor was in the road and her own yard videoing what was going on.  As she was not on the property where it was happening and videoing from the road and from her own property there was nothing anybody could do to stop her.  I am not sure what I would do in your situation.  Honestly, I would probably put my own camera up and point it so it videoed her yard.  Did you not say your son is a cop?  Ask him what you can do?  Probably nothing.  Like I said, I would never let the dog out alone.  And honestly I would probably walk around the property and make sure nothing had been thrown out for her to eat that could hurt her.

Hi! :) :D

I think your neighbor is being rather unfair. I mean it is not like you can stop your dog from barking. Moreover the camera in your back yard is way too obsessive. That is an invasion of your privacy. I'm not too sure what I would do on this occasion. I do hope you get everything sorted out ya. :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose:

Wow!  What a terrible neighbor!!  Is your dog really barking excessively or is she just a crazy neighbor??  I would talk to the police about whether or not she can point her camera into your yard.  Seems like an invasion of privacy, but I'm not sure if there's anything legal you can do about it.  How attached are you to your home?  Maybe consider moving?  Good Luck!

I would find a way to control my dog barking if I had one.  Incessant barking is a annoying for sure.  Maybe some breeds bark more than others I don't know.  My father had a Doberman when I was a teenager and she stayed in the yard for a good part of the day and she hardly ever barked.  My bf has a German wirehaired pointer and she never barks.  Maybe you should train your dog to stop barking so much.  I don't disagree with the neighbor.

No we never allow our dog to bark excessively but that is what she is telling the police. We are assuming that she has the camera into our yard for the simple fact of trying to catch our dog outside alone or barking excessively. Even the cop pretty much said that she doesn't have a leg to stand on. This woman is someone who is just trying to control the neighbor hood. She has gone 4 doors down to complain about someone using their leaf blower. She has gone over to another neighbor to stop playing her music so loud because she doesn't like Spanish music. She  obviously has issues.

Put up some sort of obstruction on your property that blocks what the camera can record. Since she is clearly a problem, you're gonna have fight her crazy with some crazy of your own!

Yrs ago I listened to a scanner.  A woman called the law on a neighbor dog for barking and since it was 911 they had to respond.  The cop goes to the house and when he finishes the call he says I had a talk with the dog. I told him to stop barking. lol

That is insane. Why would you sell your home and move because somebody was a bad neighbor? The next neighborhood could be worse. I think the more people are locked in their homes the worse stuff like this is going to get. And the worse people are when they are in public as well when they don't like what others are doing.

Usually dogs that bark constantly at everything are bored, not getting enough exercise and/or attention. It makes me so mad when people get a dog and then just leave it in the back yard day in and day out. Why would you get a dog if you're just going to ignore it?!  >:(

That is what we are trying to tell her Nancy (all dogs bark) She is never alone and we are always playing with her. The cop even told us that if she calls in another complaint he will tell her to just move. She likes to say that she's been here 16 years...well sister I have been here 63 years and she is THE worst neighbor we ever had !!

Countrygirl, must you talk to people in that way? Some people will at least try to sue over anything and every thing but it doesn't mean they will win the case. I know someone who tried to sue over someone accidently stepping on their foot. Just try and be kinder with others and THEIR opinions, being kind goes a long way. You do know how to do that don't you?

So are we playing a game of "i know you are but what am i".  No you can't sue over anything.  They will not tie up court time over foolishness.  And I am not sure if you would even have to do something stupid like the "People's Court" crap you see on television.  I do not know what state you live in that has a no loud noises after 10 rule but that is YOUR state.  It is not like that every where else. I don't know if there are any kind of ordinances for noise in my county.

Countrygirl, must you talk to people in that way? Some people will at least try to sue over anything and every thing but it doesn't mean they will win the case. I know someone who tried to sue over someone accidently stepping on their foot. Just try and be kinder with others and THEIR opinions, being kind goes a long way. You do know how to do that don't you?

Must people talk to me the way they do? Go back and read what was said to me. Guess I am suppose to just roll over and take whatever somebody else wants to dish out.  Yes you can TRY to sue over anything.  I can sue you for looking at me in public.  But guess what...No court is going to waste time fooling with something so foolish.  I could say the same thing to you that you say to me.  I don't get it.  You want people to be nice and respectful to you but you are not to me.  You end your post talking snarly and down to me.  Insulting me.  And expect me to just take it.  I don't do that any more.  I use to take what ever anybody dished out.  USE TO.  So I will ask you the same question.  Do YOU know how to be nice? Do you know how to not talk down to others?  :confused1:

Hmm legally your neighbor cannot have a camera pointed into your yard or anyone elses thats invasion of privacy. She can have it pointed at her fence. She could be sued for that. If the dog is barking during the day not a thing your neighbor can do about it. If your dog is barking after 10 at night than she could legally rightfully complain and possibly have something done about it.

You are wrong about pretty much everything you said.  Not sure where you are getting your info.  You cannot sue somebody for having cameras that capture somebody else's yard. Even door bell cameras usually will capture video across the street.  NOTHING you can do about it. I have a neighbor that lives down the street and she has cameras pointed at the road and she monitors EVERY car that goes up or down the road. There is nothing that can be done about it.

Where do you get this magic time of 10:00? If a dog barks CONSTANTLY no matter what time of day or night it IS there is something you could do about it. Obviously that is not the case here. It also I guess depends on where you live. Some places have stricter laws about noise. Technically a dog barking is not any different than kids screaming all day long in the yard. 
You are wrong you can sue over anything in general doesn't mean you will win. You are right about the camera issue. You could put something up on your property to block the view of the camera. Other than that only thing you could do is ask the owner to not have the camera pointed at your back yard its up to them to comply or not. They don't really have to. As for the 10 pm deadline we have that all over the state no loud noises after 10 or you could be fined. That includes pets, kids & other humans making loud noises

Asking you if you know how to be kind is not considered "talking down"  but if you see it that way then I do apologize to you. Now are you big enough to apologize to the way you have answered some people? I never said one would win in the courts but I know some who have tried without success. One gets back what they dish out, do you expect others to take your lip and not respond back the way they do?. You remind me of someone who back in the day I have said the most innocent things and they take it all out of context and spun it into something totally different than how I meant it. You be nice to me and I will be nice back it really is that simple. BUT you roar and me and I can roar louder ha ha ....interesting on how you are going to spin this one, come on I can take it LOL

I am not putting a spin on anything. I am doing the same thing you say you are doing. You have proved with your posts you are just wanting to fight. I had not said anything to you that you can in any way take in a negative way.  Somebody smarts off to me and I give it back to them and you jump in.  smh  You say something snarly and then get mad if I say something back.  You were talking down to me.  You just wanted me to take it and not say anything back.

I am not wrong in what I said.  You are not going to get very far in 'suing' somebody for some ignorant stupid something. It will never make it to court.  I have tried to be nice to you but you always turn it in to some big argument and frankly you are not worth my time nor the effort to keep responding to you. ::)

Oh my so much evil and with the virus people still find trivial things to be upset about - it is beyond me.  My HOA is complaining over every little thing (latest wanted the curbs pressure washed).  I think you should ask the police if it is legal for her to be monitoring your yard, I would find it hard to believe it is ok.  Lord, what is wrong with people?

Hi debido. We did ask the police and unfortunately there is nothing they can do. now if it was pointing into my kitchen or bedroom, then, something could be done...A neighbor of yours really want the curbs pressured washed..WOW not that is different lol...I guess it takes all kinds to make the world go around

It’s a shame the police said there is nothing to do.  I feel so bad for you knowing cameras are facing your yard/home.  Did you try getting cameras and pointing at her home.  Maybe that might freak her out and she just might take hers down.  Even if you could find cheep looking ones I would give it a shot considering you really have run out of ideas.  Good luck!

I and many members of my family have worked in law enforcement all over the country.  We have never been in a jurisdiction where there is not some sort of curfew on loud noises.   In one area my husband worked one of the homes did weddings and events in their home.  They had to get a permit and let the neighborhood know when one was happening and usually still had to curb the noise by midnight.
