re: Aiming IR floodlight at security cam ---- 5/14 update pg. 4

quote:Where do you live so I make sure not to move there?
I recently got my bathrooms renovated. She called the parish because I had four trash bags full of stuff sitting on the side of my house for 1.5 days. I was keeping it to show the insurance company, who came out the second day.
I dug a hole and installed a French drain to catch basin in the middle of my yard, but the top was about 24" under the soil. I did it because my sidewalk had a low spot that would collect water when it would rain, grew fungus, and was extremely slippery. She called the parish.
I moved my fence forward 5ft when I moved in. It is still 20ft from the road on a street where most are 2-3ft off of the sidewalk. The old fence was also rotten as hell. She called the parish. That ended up costing me about $2500 in fines, court costs, and survey fees. $2500 in fines, and $300 in materials.
Parish told me to rip the fence down because I didn't have a permit. They said don't touch the trash until they saw I took it down. I tore it down one afternoon, and she had someone out there the next morning because of the wood.
She has called twice on me working on my truck in my driveway. It is my daily driver. She told them I was running an illegal repair shop.

It's been shitty. I have to worry about making every little improvement, or fixing any little thing now because of her. She's just as bad to the people on the other side. Just one of those people who thinks the entire block is hers.
Either way, I still get stuff done. About to open up the mechanic shop in my driveway again. She has another camera aimed at that

Update:
She called the cops about the floodlight around 4:30am. The cops didn't care that it was pointed directly at her floodlight, which was aiming at my house. They told me to move it, and that I was harassing her. They then told her to get a restraining order against me, and that I wouldn't be able to live in my house anymore.
So....don't take legal advice from police. The restraining order would never stick, and even if it did, it wouldn't apply to my property.
IR light is coming in tomorrow. Gonna go up ASAP. If the cops come, I'll know it's working

quote:well you should have moved your light, let the cops leave then call the cops back and say her flood light is harassing you. The squeaky wheel gets the grease. The cops are just pressuring you to do things because you will, and they know the bitch will just continue to call them out if you dont.

I'm not trying to bother the cops. It is a waste of their time to deal with people like this. I'm sure they've done it many times before too.
One younger cop that was hanging out with me told me that they don't want to deal with her as much as I don't. She has been a pain in the arse to them for years. Older cop wasn't so nice

Put a wind chime or something that moves in view. She will tire of changing batteries.
If the IR light doesn’t work, putting something in view of the camera that keeps moving would force it to record 24-7 so she’d have to scroll through a lot of footage to find anything relevant to your activities.

I believe she has a camera, not a floodlight. He did an awful job explaining things in his update post.

She has both. One floodlight is aimed at my front yard, and the other at my house. Camera is also aimed at the front yard/house.
I looked it up for good measure, and it is evidently illegal in LA to intentionally mess with someone's cameras. That includes distorting the view. IR light is going back to Amazon. Maybe a "Don't Tread On Me" flag will work

Ah. Is she old and near death? If not maybe let her win and move.
Posted on 5/1/18 at 5:53 pm to bbap
Nope, maybe 50-ish ornery possible lesbian. She is built and walks around like a defensive lineman

She'll outlive us all then.

Where did you find that law?

So you need to set up your own cameras such that her flood lights happen to distort their view. Call cops and cite the law you found.

My God it is great to not have to live in shite developments in shithole communities.
Burn that MF'er down and move somewhere with a better class of people.

Reading that statute and following it back it seems like that statute is in reference to monitoring devices used to monitor or apprehend lawbreakers, not those devices simply monitoring a private property.
If it were meant as you may be interpreting it, it would mean that if someone set up a security camera directed straight across your unfenced property and you subsequently install a privacy fence, you would be violating that law. Pretty sure it does not cover that sort of action.

Using IR to illuminate the area for your own night vision cameras would not seem to be intentionally defeating hers. In fact, any stray IR illumination would help her cameras, unless she was aiming her camera directly at your IR source. Extra regular lighting around your house is a good idea for security in general. If she wants to argue that by placing a camera aimed at your house that you are prefented from installing your own cameras or lighting because it interferes with hers, good luck to her lol.

I believe the law was put into place because people were shining lights, lasers, IR, etc at cameras before robbing places. Knowing her, she'd take me to court over it. She'd probably break some of her own stuff and try and have me arrested. I'm not trying to get arrested during finals week.
The code people left a notice on her door yesterday afternoon about the flood lights. She turned 3 out of 4, but cannot turn the fixture enough to get the 4th one away from my house. It's just how it is built. She'll be needing to get a permit and hire a contractor to replace that floodlight, or will be in violation, and will be fined and forced to remove them.
I get to put that in the W category, and I think she'll get tired of buying four expensive CR123 batteries once a week if I put up a flag right by the camera
