..... I will I guess have too tell him that I am taping what he is saying so that he and the tape picks me up telling him, then if he keeps saying things I can then use it like you have to do if you are recording a person on the phone.
I am NOT a lawyer or policeman... but that sounds to me like a HUGE mistake.
Also.... It has been my experience in life... if I've treated a person poorly.. that's how they treat me back. Spying on (and recording) a neighbor.. will not enrich your life.
I called my DA's office and they said it would be up to the judge if I was caught and prosecuted.
When the District Attorney's Office tells someone: Your in violation of the law... the next stop is generally jail. Make sure your family has the name and [home] phone number of your lawyer. Also keep the name of a bail bondsmen handy as well... this could keep you from spending the night [or weekend] in jail.
.... I don't like going on the same side of the yard he is at.
Then don't. And don't point a camera at his yard ether. He has the right to be left alone.
I just thought with this being a camera store and it had audio someone might know how I could do it and not get into trouble!!
This IS NOT a camera store. This is a Community Forum. We are ordinary people that also use X10 products... we are customers like yourself. The use of cameras for security... along with other measures like alarms.. can add an extra level of protection. Camera monitoring can actually deter crime. There are very few laws that prevent the use of cameras for deterring crime.
The use of cameras for spying however.... has no useful purpose... and is full of legal complications.

This man started out treating me and my family poorly, I got scared the night I saw him at the fence when I went out and he scared me, then I was talking with him about my husbands condition when he was telling me about seeing in my window. So I didn't start treating him poorly it was the other way around.
I did speak with the police before I put the camera up and they said I could for security reasons but it could not be aimed at a window, well his garage is the side it is up bedrooms are on the other side. He also comes out and hollers so my dog will bark then laughs and keeps remarking to the dog making her continue to bark until I take her into the garage, she is a german shepard and very protective of us, he told her once he was going to get something for her to stop her!
So he has treated us poorly and now I am giving it back with the camera, I have turned audio off and took down signs in hope that will make him think I am not trying to be a B and he will stop some of his actions against us and the camera stays in one position and the front camera on my driveway shows from the trees between our yard to my font door. He would have to be at my garage to see this one.
Dave: I am not worried about being arrested I have worked with the DA's office and they were being very nice when they told me this and just as a FYI to me. They said best if I didn't but that I could have a hand camera with me outside and if he started with us tell him he was being taped and it had audio if he wanted to continue. That is my next step so when we go out have it handy to grab. They have been very nice trying to help me and so has the sheriffs office they all tell me to call if he does anything else, I could of told them to press charges asgainst him when he did what he did back in Sept screaming out dirty names and calling my DIL a damn mexican immigrant, making fun of my husband because he couldn't communicate with him, etc. No I didn't because I knew it would be worse, so asked the officers to tell him if he
continued I would he has continued to call us names and I have heard it and me outside he now can't see on my deck we put up a small section of fence so when I go out at night he can't be standing looking over th e private fence and scare me and or watch when we are out their and us not see him. So he invaded my privacy first now he doesn't like it I can see him all the time.
I have to go on that side of the yard my fence gate is on that side and I also have a pond near that side and as I said above put up a section so he cant see me at night, we like being out during the summer and can't see but where the lights are the fence where he will stand has no light but thinking of putting up one on that area.
Dave don't you think we my family has the right to be left alone, now he knows my DH's condition, and he tried one day to get him over and told him he could ride his snow mobile things, if my husband had of and gotten hurt because he can't drive now and he also knows that what could of happened I heard him and I told DH do not get on that thing you could get killed or hurt bad, and then he could sue us if you tear it up don't know if DH knows any of what I said to him, but now
until they are put away for the winter I have to watch that my hubby does not go over there, it just might strike him one day to do it.
So so much for leaving him alone what if my daughter with CP goes to that side and he says something to her and her inside the fence she is not allowed out front without me. My mother that is 76 is he allowed to make inapproate to any of them and get away with it at least a camera will show him out their and now I will just have to keep a journal of what he says, and we are suppose to stay on one side of our yard best thing for us to do is stay inside and blinds always closed, this is the way I think you feel. Don't point the camera at his property I leagelly can just no audio and with what he has done and said I will continue to do so. Sorry you don't agree but it seems to have stopped him some, hoping it will continue.
Don't I deserve to be left alone.
Dave you really seem to be for this guy that I tryed to get to know when I moved here in march last year then he started with his commets some I have not even told here, then to becoming nasty cussing and saying he was going to shoot at my home yelling a my dog, etc.
Sorry I didn't mean to say this forum was a store (my error , bad commet on my part) but it being on a camera etc, website I thought someone could also know under what surcastances that audio could be used you seem to want to take what I say and pick it apart!
So have seen this is not a site for me to discuss this with anyone you just want to put me down instead of just chatting and maybe giveing your opinion.
Thank you to the couple that did just nicely give your opioion!
