Range wars

Nyboy, I don't always see him mowing. Sometimes I just see where he's mown on my property.

Red if police asked you not to call everytime they trespass, get a camera with a date and time stamp.

Great idea Alex.

After the break in, I got a trail camera, mounted on a tree motion activated. The hunters here can suggest which ones are good.

Okay, hunters, let 'er rip! I'm game for a game camera.

If I have weeks of the neighbor trespassing in photos, won't the police consider that all "one event" when I finally do call? Or would the photos be evidence that I allowed the neighbor to trespass for weeks thereby giving up my rights to call it trespass?

I have an appointment to talk to the officer's supervisor today. Not that he was rude or beligerant. He might have been just as frustrated as I was with the whole situation, but he would mis-word statements and tell me I was "playing word games" when I corrected the statements he attributed to me.

Example: I told the officer I had not been on the neighbor's property that day. He said, "So I can tell them you won't go on their property again?"
Me: "No, I didn't go on their property. I have no intentions of going on their property. You can tell the neighbors that."
He: "I was just parpharasing. You're playing word games with me here."
Me: "No, I am trying to be exact and truthful."
He: "So we have this agreement. I can tell them you won't trespass again and you won't send others to trespass."
Me: "No, you can tell them I haven't trespassed and I will continue to stay off their property."
He: "Quit playing word games with me. You know what I meant and you're just being difficult."
This went on over and over. As long as he kept changing my wording, I kept correctly repeating what I had said. I am a very literal person. We use language to communicate. Language has words and words have meaning. Changing words often means changing meaning, connotation, or intent. For me to agree with his wording would have put me in the wrong.

Now, how do I get this over to the supervisor without having a vendetta of license watching for my vehicle. I don't have a complaint against the officer per se, I was uncomfortable with the way the interview went/was handled.

Perhaps I'll run off a copy of this post and give it to the supervisor.

I copy would be great, a recorded version would have been better, Maybe next time! (Good Lord I hope this is all behind you soon.)

I just wanted to say how much I love it that you refuse to degrade language. <3 Using the correct word is always important.

game cameras come in all types motion to one that will sent photos and or video to your computer ...... they range from $30-600+

suggestion till this is resolved any time the officer comes out have some one with a video camera recording the conversation..... proof
suggestion 2 once this bs is done and everyone knows their property lines put up a barb wire fence along that property line so all parties involved know their property boundaries..

so sorry you have to go through this...

i agree on a video camera when you have someone visiting-officers or neignbors. but you do want to mention they are being recorded while being on your land and in your presence to have factual evidence if required in the future.
