So our neighbors have been a growing problem for a few months now. They seem to be a flop house for six or seven people, most of them look high all day. They go out and Rev a Harley at 3am, they burn plastic been our houses in a fire pit, they have a new dog every two weeks because they keep getting out and getting hit by traffic in the busy street we live on, the current two have bit people. I’m not one to care how someone lives, but these folks make the rest of our slum neighborhood look downright utopian.
I’ve tried taking to them, they’re stupidly hostile. I’ve put in complaints with the city, noise complaints with the police, they don’t do anything about it. Does anyone have advice on dealing with this? I’m tired, at my wits end, and my small town tactics aren’t as easy to pull off in a proper city.
I think this is a great answer.
I would buy a camera security system so it’s always on and you have an automatic record. Something with a hard drive.
Don’t say anything about it, just quietly set it up first pointing at your house. For “your security”. Then a few days later point those cams at their house / the street / their yard / etc. You may see more that you didn’t know was going on.
Video evidence goes a long way. More than a person’s word, usually. Sadly.
You’re upset the physical evidence is worth more than hearsay?
Human memories are notoriously unreliable, and physical evidence, like video footage SHOULD ABSOLUTELY be worth more than a person’s word.
Hm, so idk how I feel about this one.
I think everyone deserves privacy, even shitty neighbors, recording individual instances is one thing but literally setting up surveillance on someone’s home is a little yikes
