The Neighbors Are Watching Via Surveillance Video

from the big-brother-is-next-door dept

With all the stories about governments or corporations becoming "Big Brother", it turns out that Big Brother might just be next door. In the latest kidnapping case in California, police say that one of the best initial leads they got came from the surveillance camera of the next door neighbor. Clearly, it's a good thing that such a camera helped lead to information that let the police track down the kidnapper. However, it certainly does raise some privacy issues. Yes, it's nice to have a world where people are unlikely to commit a crime since they're always being watched, but do we really want a world where no one has any real privacy?

Privacy?
What "privacy"? The camera is shooting a public street, anything it saw could be seen by anyone walking by, driving by or standing on the street corner. There is no presumption of privacy on a public street!

Re: Privacy?
I too have a crazy neighbor who admitted to having audio (good enough to hear you fart in the bathroom (his words) & video (covering homes five houses in any direction covering inside my garage.) I saw your post and wondered if you found a way to prevent the intrusion. I have been looking for an app or device to prove his electronic field is interfering with our Wi-Fi and all. I am not positive the interference is caused by him but knowing all he has admitted makes me wonder. I hope you were able to resolve your situation.

Re: Re: Privacy?
Hi. I was doing some research online regarding illegal surveillance and harrassment, and came across your post. I to also have several neighbors whom have audio access to our every conversation and move, and its quite alarming. Do you know, or have you done anything regarding the manner? I am very interested in finding some help. Thanks for your time.

Re: Re: Re: Privacy?
Believe it or not (ask your trusted local P.I.) information collected this way is due in very large part to "acoustical leakage". The most happening when folks believe that conversations had in a back yard/screened porch are somehow private, coupled with the ignorant and costly belief that due to some circumstance (who you are, where you live, the 'type' of neighbors one believes one has, and the most ignorant: people are only like that in the movies/if they're govt. ops/humans are basically 'good'... WRONG) that simply wouldn't/couldn't/shouldn't "happen to me".

If you're speaking in an area that a federal court would consider private, but the info is still getting out: are your windows/doors shut tight? Are your curtains drawn (sound absorption/deflection)?Are the vents to your HVAC unit closed tight? Are you speaking in a room that has poorly sealed doors/windows, or in the case of a bathroom/kitchen, speaking near/under and exhaust vent? After installing ceiling fans/light fixtures did you/the installer ensure that expanding foam was used to seal and potential air leaks (sound travels freely through air)? If you're windows are not double pane - air gapped, or your doors are not solid core/foam-filled hollow core then the thin older glass, or hollow core no-fill doors (or worse, old style doors with solid 'frame' and 3 or 4 decorative, thin beveled square designs placed in them; they act as 'speakers'. They absorb incoming sound waves and broadcast those waves 'through' the material as it vibrates. Don't invest ANY money in specialty sound proofing until the entire above list is taken care of.

ANY GAP AIR CAN ESCAPE THROUGH WILL CARRY ANY/ALL SOUND WITH IT.

Re: Re: Re: Privacy?
Using the term "Gang Stalkers", although accurate, will get one sideways glances from friends/neighbors/family/police. And eventually ignored, which is THE goal of those trolls. Isolation of the subject to disenfranchise the "T.I." (targeted individual) leading to joblessness, then homelessness, then prison/civil (mental health) commitment with the ultimate goal getting the TI to take their own life.

The terms the perpetrators use (and which you should also, albeit sparingly) is "Disruption Operations". Other common terms are "investigation", "stake out", and "medical/social/psychological experiment", "community policing" and "neighborhood watch". If these terms are familiar sounding that's because disruption operations are largely carried out by corrupt/former pigs, FBI, CIA, and private security personnel/firms. The funding, if one will simply do the research (follow the money), is supplied from "black" government books. Don't take my word for it. One must also realize that private investigators the globe over use satellite tracking, whether GPS or real time pixels, to locate, track and apprehend targets (once termed "suspects").

For an eye opener, head to the CIA's official website, if you're so inclined, and search for the OSS/OCS document titled "Simple Sabotage Field Manual" penned by William J. Donovan, declassified and available in its entirety. For 100% referencable citations, invest time in viewing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jgDjbJ_X8jo&list=PLnaaslzSOxYxYlWYdlT53MxuHj1yq_3ht&index=55 "Gang Stalking in America: Just the Facts, part 1". I suggest viewing (and saving to your personal library, or at least in bookmarks) parts 2 and 3 as well. If one desires to shine a light on the cockroaches, head to fightgangstalking.com and head to the section titled "How To Fight Back." Beyond that, NEVER give these trolls your attention. You're now a 'celebrity'. Behave as such. Always don your DARK LENSE sunglasses, and have earphones/earbuds on/in your ears (whether plugged in or not). It may behoove you to purchase "spy camera" glasses (GEEK, by Wish, Inc.; app on Google Play Store, very secure) to record the details of events when the trolls come out from under their bridge.

Finally, realize and accept that this more than likely will last your entire life, and follow you no matter how far you travel/run. Follow the advice and heed the info from the sources I cited and you will greatly lessen the effects. And rejoice in watching the trolls' "handlers" replacing your stalkers (perps) so frequently that YOU begin to disrupt THEIR lives/schedules, creating massive anxiety/frustration in them, which makes all of them close to ineffective. Oh, and the best part: the ones you see/sniff out are EXPECTED to be uncovered/found out. The second team, the ones you DON'T see ARE THERE, waiting for you to relax so they can "H Bomb" you into anchoring new triggers. Be well. Give them hell.

My neighbor continues to say people can watch you on camera through walls and floors somehow. I personally don't see how its possible. She keeps saying people are watch her take showers and get dressed. Everyone else just thinks she is crazy and somebody is messing with head trying to make her panic. Could this be possible i guess? It just seem so impossible especially when she says there are no devices in her apartment and all her phone cameras are covered.

However, if you are shooting a public Street and you include MY DRIVEWAY with me in MY DRIVEWAY you are invading my privacy! And, if your Street watching is within 5 miles of an airport and you have not notified the airport officials that you are flying, you are not registered with FAA and airport, you are adding up your illegal activities for which you will be busted. How about just minding your own area? Leave people alone to their right to privacy!

He usually tends to argue against technological advancements that make laws easier to enforce or that steer people towards the straight & narrow. Heck, the guy is one of the biggest apologists for music thieves that you'll ever find, so its hardly surprising that he's against security cameras, even when used in the context of public spaces.

(a) I'm not against security cameras. I've written about this topic a number of times before, where I've suggested that there's nothing wrong with them. In this case, I was just bringing it up as a discussion point. What rights do you have if your neighbor's security camera is watching over your private property?

(b) I do not apologize for music "thieves" at all. I (and I've pointed this out plenty of times) am just pointing out the changes in the music marketplace that those in the industry might want to think about. I'm no fan of people who share music (I don't do it). I just think, as a business, the music industry needs to learn how to deal with it.

Is it that hard to see the distinction?

(c) If you don't like my logic, there's a very simple solution: don't come to this site.

Vanessa, 7 Apr 2007 @ 5:39pm

Re: This is just typical Mike blather
It may be blather to you. To take it from one who has experienced being stalked by my neighbors, rapped -- repeatedly -- and no one believing me. Gassed with protane and arms looking like a junkie when I don't do drugs, hair with bald spots where it was shaved (all these things miraculously appearing upon waking. Neighbors constantly outside watching your every move and being followed around. Sounds crazy, right. That is what keeps the knowledge of this phenomena going so boldly.

My house was vandalized to $30,000, even the contractors who came to repair turned around and destroyed my home with water damage yet still expecting me to pay until eventually I had to simply walk away from my home.

I worked at home and my computer system was hacked. Your own computer with DSL access allows for voice and video surveillance.

The FBI and local police simply wrote me off as crazy even when I had semen and went to the hospital for a rape kit performed. I was offered a week in their psych ward instead of a rape kit performed.

The web is full of tells of neighborhood stalkings. I was one of those who did not believe it either until it happened to me.

Re: Re: Re: This is just typical Mike blather
check this out! this is how much people who want to can spy on you 24/7 and for a nominal fee resell what they see on line on some private website. Spybubble.com
There is no sign in Vanessa's speech that points to insanity, and the response comment from Jess is full of condescension and ignorance. Aimed to hurt, but why would you Jess want to hurt someone you don't know, someone who is so obviously full of anxiety and needs help. How evil. perhaps you are one these people I am talking about.
There is a big motivator for common people with a criminal or immoral psychology to do this to regular people. MONEY. Just like your average family has their porn and pay a dutiful 30 or whatever a month with their cable subscription that includes porn,(I don't have cable) so these voyeurs will pay money to spy on the neighbors. There are circuits of these people who take a young woman, or older woman, and spy on them and do whatever. Once a person is in the circuit, hundreds of them participate and get off on affecting the life of the target,they vandalize their cars so as to keep them broke, they follow them around in their town and make motions to let them know they can see them and hear them thus trying to produce a paranoid state, provoke them everywhere they go and if nothing they actually enter your living area where they set up tiny cameras which require batteries, they call your employer they create gossip, because they get off in watching the girl suffer, this are the sadist voyeurs., and so on in their many varieties, because if you listen to your neighbors telephone calls you ARE a VOYEUR,(sick) They make people participate because once you click on their website or link you are accessory to an illegal activity. So Jess sorry to bust your ignorant blissful bubble, and truly wish this does not happen to you. Unless you like porn it is very hard for common people without technical hacking skills to investigate, you get losts in reels and reels of genitalia and sickness trying to find where it is. Anyone under the influence of this horrible people need professional help.

So this horrible story of Vanessa needs to be investigated, but the police will do nothing it is true. She needs a base of $10,000. dollars to hire an internet technology detective. Vanessa story is not the only one. Victims are all with the same background, isolated without a support system of friends and family.

They target recluses, volatile characters (people who get angry easily) such as the "customer service" angry people on youtube, or the exposed wives screaming at their bad husbands. they set them up, provoke them and they film them and put them on you tube and people go gawk and click and there is a five cents times however many times, can be thousands and thousands of dollars.

They target immigrant girls who come to the country and have no support system.
WAKE UP people, America is sick. those of you from another time think this only happens to celebrities. I feel terrible for Vanessa and I wish I could help but only money helps.

The web sites are hidden within websites. Some are off shores where they can collect money and never be found. It is the PORNO INDUSTRY and of course the millions of voyeurs in the USA

Hello. After reading your comment in full, I feel am also a candidate for that type of targeting you described. Being that I have become somewhat reclusive in my later years, my neighbors have deemed it fit to create tension around me, when it isn't even justified.

They follow me and my family around, as you describe, and create nuisances so I know they are around and present.

Is there anything you could recommend I should do? The cops and the city are in on it as well, so no point in calling them.

Re: This is just typical Mike blather
Mike is correct. Home surveillance cameras are often misused. While they are intended to watch your own property, lots of people are using them to spy on their neighbors. While cameras used in public places, by stores, and such, are quite useful. Home systems should only be installed by professionals with a license, to make sure that you are not abusing your neighbors right to privacy. Do-it-yourself video systems should not be allowed to be sold in stores. I took my neighbor to court and had him fined for having 4 fixed video cameras on his roof aimed solely at my backyard, and my back porch, over the top of my 8 foot privacy fence. While he can stand with a camcorder aimed at your property all day long if he wanted to, believe-it-or-not, he can not have a fixed video camera aimed at your property.

Abuse of CCTV in neighbourhood
I totally agree with you. It's hard to find the demarcation between proper use and abuses of CCTV installed by residence themselves. Like i said, here in my country law regarding this issue is volatile. Its very contentious when it comes to whether a question is to security with the CCTV or encroaching on neighbor's privacy. Why can't the relevant govt dept sanction a law against CCTV installation by individuals @ home? Is'nt the police dept the one to install CCTV and ensure the public's safety? People who install in their own accord are simply being too cavil and captious

"Yes, it's nice to have a world where people are unlikely to commit a crime since they're always being watched, but do we really want a world where no one has any real privacy? "

lemme see, where can we find out how people behave when they are in an anonymous consequence free environment? The net!

See the proliferation of trolls, spammers, and just plain morons that bring the signal to noise ratio to such desperate levels that discourse is becoming the exception rather than the norm on USENET, IRC, and many many message boards...

While I want my privacy, I can't help but feel that if we WERE under the camera things would be a lot safer...I'm still not sure I want to give up my privacy for this mind you and I'm not arguing for that...I'm just pointing out what people end up becoming when they KNOW they can get away with it....

No privacy from a man next door
There is a man living next door to me that films everything coming and going and runs down the street to film people and the police without their knowledge. He has sunglasses that have a video cam in them.

He mentioned his high sex drive to me out of the blue without anyone's personal sex drive being discussed (very odd and totally creepy).

He was even filming children without their consent or their parent's consent and I had to stop him.

No one has any privacy and it is horrible to know you are always on candid camera 24/7. Just wretched!

And, it is not that you are even doing anything wrong. It is just the thought of possibly being a part of someone's possible freakish perversion without your consent and being violated even if you are not. It is the most horrible way to live.

We are probably going to be moving as there is no comfort whatsoever here. Also, he was messing with cables or wires attached to my house twice without my consent on ladders. I walked outside one day and he was on a ladder right outside my back door messing with my light that was out. I did not ask him to and he never even asked me. He was just creepily there.

When I told him to stay away and that it was creepy that he discussed his high sex drive with me when we first met, he told me that "I" have a filthy mind and "I" am a filthy woman because I do not want him to discuss his sex drive and do not want him around me. He said I twisted his words.

Four people including my son and my landlord have told him to stay away from me and where I live and guess what? He did it again just the other day. Harsher punishment for these types of violations need to be in place. I have been violated numerous times and he will not stop.

It is not just me though. He has a history of doing this and he is doing this to everyone. He has like some sort of creepy thoughts on sex, wants to watch people 24/7 and has some sort of authority issues. Creepy!

People are so quick to outlaw guns even when responsible people own them. Well, where is the banning law for cameras and people who do this? It creates great stress in the victim's life and in the lives of the family that want it to stop. It is a misdemeanor and to catch him doing it, you have to become him. Really frustrated over this. It is just totally psycho.

Privacy? Its all a frame of mind. In my bathroom while taking a poo or picking my Ass or taking selfies or examining my lady features compiled with the loud hooribleley Perfumed stinch of rotting whatever i ate my bad habits etc things that would be embarrassing if any person knew..... Let me tell you its all recorded video audio twoway mirror and them pretty young boys that come around me relentlessly to lay pipe...lol, why do they caused my beauty? my long paper? My charming personality? Ofcorse!!!! My dears I am 51 , and female though I long to believe so, the harsh reality is there is something I possess that they seek. Whether police simply performing their just duties , corrupt law enforcement , mafiosos or my ex husband. Privacy doesent exist our only human right is to suffer consequences of our actions. Take pleasure in the small joys things like knowing they see how u are in *private moments and still come and manage to attempt performance in the lovemaking department knowing u in ways a spouse shouldn't even. Ha then they gotta hear from their co concpiritors a large raft of shit while I'm n the tub with a big smile not because they did well but because I have convinced them they did . The only way to fool a fool is when the fool is you.

stalking neighbors
The neighbors next door have several cameras (with spot lights)watching our home. One of the cameras only monitors our backyard that has a 7ft. privacy fence. We built the fence to re-establish some privacy. They simple raised the camera. We've bought blinds. They continue to watch. Where does the law support our privacy on our not so "private" property?

Re: stalking neighbors
I have this same issue at my residence. There is a camera facing the window to my room. I have told the neighbor to move the camera in the other direction. I was told that the camera is broken, but is clearly evident that is working just fine. Clearly this is a violation of my privacy. This is in a suburb location with house 10 feet apart. The neighbor is not watching the street, it's pointed straight into my window.

Re: Re: stalking neighbors
I believe I know who you are Bird. My cameras do not work and have not worked since the painters were here and turned the cameras off the direction I originally had them. My VCR recorder short-circuited from the poor wiring. I have not had the money to fix this problem. A new VCR recorder for my cameras costs approx. $500.00. The cameras were installed by workers from the top of my roof which I cannot reach, therefore they have remained in that position. I have told you many times about this, and you still seem to be paranoid that I have an interest in you, your wife and your property. I HAVE NO INTEREST IN YOU AT ALL. I RESPECT OTHER'S PRIVACY AT ALL TIMES. I EVEN KEEP MY SHUTTERS UPSTAIRS SHUT AT ALL TIMES TO GIVE YOU YOUR BACKYARD PRIVACY. I must say, though, myself and my daughter, and my friends have caught you watching us through your windows, my daughter when sunbathing in the backyard is one of the many times you have been caught inappropriately spying on us and eavesdropping as well. Your long-term unemployment of 15 years where you do mostly nothing inside your home probably has something to do with this. Your paranoia is self-projected from your own guilt and inappropriateness.

I have neighbors who have pulled an all time low. We thought we could trust the ass we allowed to watch our home when we went out of town. Came home and found every drawer in the house gone through and this ass was running to leave and The neighbors came into our home thinking they could without any breaking of the law because they paid him to let them in!! They are THAT nosey. This invasion of our privacy has gone on for 15 yrs now and they lie on my husband's federal background investigation hoping he will get fired, they have taunted him and if I come down with a terminal illness I'm sure all can guess where I'm heading, but ooo no I won't kill anyone I'd just stick them in wheelchairs for the rest of their lives!

Re: stalking neighbors
I have a similar situation, of a neighbor spying on us with 4 wireless cameras trained on our yard. Today, I plugged up an old baby monitor to my tv and before hooking up cameras, guess what I saw? Every view from each camera THEY have. Now, I can see what they're looking at! I'm tempted to put my cameras on their yard and when they watch their own monitor, they'd see THEIR yard, but not know where the pic is coming from...or I might just aim it right back into one of their cameras, but for now, I'm just going to watch my yard via their cameras. (Perhaps I should thank them, as I no longer have to mount cameras!)

Re: stalking neighbors
Your city has CCTV Camera Laws in effect. EVERY city in the U.S. has them. Read them, know them, and report offenders accordingly.

However, if your neighbors believe you're involved in criminal activity, and go to the police with that belief, they can be exempted from the surveillance if it was your municipality that installed the devices. And remember: it's the devices you DON'T see that can/will have the most lasting effect, positive or negative.

Help, we are being harrassed by our neighbors a sanctimonious group of religious people who do not like our way of living on our property. We bother no one and live in a secluded lot, yet they want to use probes to look into our house invade our computors and TV's you name it they are watching 24 hours a day with the help of their church's congrigation(man power). We have GPS devices hidden on our cars and I am followed to the library my friends house or when I go out for dinner (everywhere). This has been going on for 2 years now, I can't get proof bercause they know my every move and I don't want the law to think we are crazy, how can I stop this? Can I buy equipment that will jam their equipment and use something that records their activities. The probes they use can inflict itching and touching sensations keeping us up at night also make noises to confuse us. Our cats are being scared into shitting all over the house. This is a federal offense I have read how can i make it stick? I need help!

They say things like *quite evesdropping* and my 4 year old son says evesdropping all the time, my mom has even heard them in my house. They have the neighbors harrassing me all the damn time and they are making up horrible lies about me like I"m a child abuser, which trust me I'am not, I pride myself in taking care of my children. I don't know what to do either, I"m 6mths pregant and so far they have been stalking and harrassing me for an entire year, and they know I'm pregnant.

If they moved In right by you and then aimed cameras at you. They want to know your every move. The police won't do anything about it cuz their involved in targeting targeted individuals. So is the CIA, firemen, and many others .educate yourself about these guys. It's all what you would never have thought what they would do to people.

They have access to lots of money and they use it to destroy you. There king is Abaddon, which is a nice way of saying Lucifer Look it up chapter 9 of revelations 9:11. this is also know as gang stalking but it is the Masons they are part of CIA FBI DHS DOJ they have taken over almost all aspects of almost all Christian religions except catholic.

Fight the beast don't give in know your enemy, they are Masons. They play with people like chess record you torment you they really love to watch other humans being tormented, remember they are all Masons, don't be fooled into thinking otherwise, they are in all religions except catholic that I know of.

Re: My neighbors are spying on us with wireless rermot
My neighbors are also spying on me. They engaged in a smear campaign against me and have half the block paranoid. Microscopic surveillance nanotechnology (probably ID-Dust) is being spread all over my outdoor property and car during nightly intrusions by these neighbors. I am harassed by people honking around my house and following me wherever I walk, or my car goes. The cops also think that I'm nuts and I have a hard time getting protection. However, I have an RF Signal Detector II, from Brickhouse Security, that can detect the signals that these devices give off. I'm currently waiting for an RF Signal Jammer from the same company that I bought the detector from. I suggest that you good folks do the same. In addition, you should know that most surveillance devices are vulnerable to being destroyed by strong laser pointers being pointed into their lens. An electronics center should carry them. IMPORTANT!: However, make sure that you protect your eyes from the laser light being reflected back into your face. Good Luck!

I can relate to your thoughts except for the last sentence about your cats.Our neighbor has hacked our computers and has monitored them for two straight years. I tried to get law enforcement to stop this violation of privacy only to find out that one member of our state police is also corrupt.

Is there not a law against neighbors with video cameras mounted in such a way to single you out and watch your every move, i'm trying to find a law otr something that would prevent this. can someone please help me.

What we as a people need to do is fight this. Petitions, A web site to help fight these ignorant, evil people, who have no lives of their own. In schools in Canada there is a no bullying policy. Well when the hell is the Bullying going to stop? Can someone answer that. I have been continuously Harassed, My Neighbors older 43 years old, his son went after my children 6 and 12 years old yelling profanities and threatening to break my children s arms, When does it stop, when do people have rights to privacy and the right to enjoy their daily lives. I'll tell you when, when a parent finally snaps because of video tapeing their children and someone get seriously hurt or killed. Thats when it will stop, and by that time its too late. I would like to know when people will just fight back and start trying to do something about it. Don't we pay our taxes, don't we make our government??? Since when are we not heard, we are heard only when we make it a point to be heard.... Any one interested in trying to do something about this insanity please contact me>>>

Dave, 2 Dec 2006 @ 6:38am

I'm fed up - are you?
My neighbor has 4 surveillance cams pointed over my 7 ft. privacy fence. My entire backyard is privacy fence. No city ordinance against the cams. Two granddaughters 3 & 5 yr. can't even play in their play house or swim now.

This has got to stop and citizens must make it happen. Security is one thing but when it is mounted on a post or in a tree and pointed over the fence, only an idiot would support the contention that it's ok. Whene the boiling point is reached - people get hurt! If you have a good law that covers this in your area - send me info at stiritup05@lycos.com.

Speaking of idiots, don't even go "there" with the argument about "if you aren't doing anything wrong, what does it matter" When I go to the bathroom I'm not doing anything wrong but I don't want people watching. People have an expectation of privacy when their entire yard is enclosed by privacy fence.

If you are fed up with it, too, send your opinion to the above email. I am going to prepare something for our city council. Technology seems to have outstripped the law.

Re: I'm fed up - are you?
Dave,
Like you, I am fed up too. My neighbors (if you can call them that) have surveillance cameras mounted on every side of their house, and those are the ones that we can see! They are double income, no kids in a planned community full of young families on 1/4 - 1/3 acre lots. While I have no solid proof, I also suspect that they have video AND audio capability. I agree that security is one thing, but when their cameras cross boundary lines I feel that it is another matter. We've had a long standing feud going with these people over our two dogs (long story, but suffice to say that I tried every means necessary (short of civil suit) to stop them from harassing us and our dogs. Thankfully, that harassment has stopped as best we can tell. Now there's still the issue of the video cameras monitoring our every move while we are just living our lives and going about our daily routines. Like the other postings I've read, the cameras are aimed across the street, affecting three neighbors; they are mounted on either side of their house affecting our house and the neighbor on the other side. We all have young children and it is very upsetting that this is even happening at all. I guess you could say that they are equal opportunity voyeurs. Well, almost. They have two obvious cameras mounted and facing toward our property. In addition, they have two very small, wireless cameras facing our house. That's four cameras just on us. These cameras potentially cover our front side yard, our back yard, and our deck. I'm fairly certain that I witnessed myself and my daughter and her friend (age 9) in my own driveway as early as yesterday evening. I had been home for less than 30 minutes. How did I witness this? You see, they have the monitoring TV located in an upstairs bedroom where they freely leave the blinds open. Although the visual was from a short distance, there were other telling tale signs that this is what happened. Again, like other positings, this sounds completely paranoid and crazy, but not so. I am definitely interested in finding out if there are any laws covering this type of surveillance. At a minimum, I would think that this not only is an invasion of privacy, but an infringement of our Fourth Amendment rights. I am on board with any movement or consortium to prevent this kind of harassment, invasion of privacy, and emotional torment.
P.S. While I like and get along with all the other neighbors who are also affected by this, they remain apathetic to the whole situation.

What have you done about camera?. My neighbor installed a camera late last year which was fixed on her property entrance only. The angle has now been changed to view our private road, and property over which she has an easement for ingress, egress only. I hate the idea of being viewed on my own property when I am coming and going. I don't like cameras at all.

It is best to get a licensed electrician to check the volts and amps coming into your home if it is open with and electrician there you can place the leads from the ohms meter one on power one on ground and you'll be able to see.

Re: I'm fed up - are you?
Dave, can you let us know what city/state you live in? Would be very interested to know the outcome of this. Your situation is my biggest fear. I've made a point of buying houses with 8 foot board on board privacy fences with no neighbors windows looking into my backyard. I'm a bit of a privacy hound. Thankfully my current neighbors who share the one shared side of my 8 foot fence are nice people who also like privacy so we've got agreements to call each other if we have contractors that will be on the roof, trees, etc. But I shudder to think what life would be like if they were like your neighbor. I think there need to be laws against this type of invasion of privacy. If you have a private backyard that no one can see into, having someone put a camera up on a roof or pole just to look into your private backyard is an invasion of your privacy and your peaceful enjoyment of your home. I would hope the city and the law would be on your side. Please let us know how it goes.

You can fight back.. with out much hassle and a little money and time. Your right to privacy is being violated for sure.. You can get a restraining order against the neighbors and file a lawsuit for invasion of privacy. Your backyard cannot be seen by the general public on the street can it?? If it cannot; your right to privacy is being violated. period; plain and simple. This can be considered stalking, harassment and intent to harm.

Good luck. Going through something similar but after I threatened to sue for invasion of privacy; they moved the cameras and they do NOT have any pointed into our backyard.

Neighbor stalking
I have two neighbors who are stalking me. One has a home security camera trained on me when I walk our common easement. The other neighbor drives by with his video camera, tracking all of my moves. He has admitted taking over 50 videos of me and my family so far. The police will do nothing about it because the stalkers maintain they have to keep track of me to prevent problems in the neighborhood because I have a home based business. It is crazy and very upsetting.

Ull definately be able to gather all the proof u should need to inform all of ur nabors just how creepy and sick they r everyone around u has they right to know what it is ur nabor is doing and that it could be them next if not already as I see it this is stalking you which is a crime and though u can get help from the cops like every other crime it will one day esculate intosomething more serious who know just how far they might be willing to go it might not happen to u but even if they stopped today they r simply going to move to someone new and if they r not stopped

My neighbors are spying on us
I am not some jerk, but my neighbor kept blaming my children and household members for causing damage to other peoples property. Also I have a situation with the same neighbor is building a addition in his back yard. He has people working back that that are from the local hardware store, day workers and not professional. We have a zero lot line, meaning there in no setback from the home to the property dividing fence. Feed up, I put up cameras. In the front to insure that he could not longer blame my household for damages, in the back to I can insure one of the workers does not hop the wall into my property. Although my neighbor is suppose to be home at all times that work on the addition is taking place, he leaves for hours at a time. I am a single female with 2 kids and could no longer take the bullying. There are 2 sides to every story. Although there is no law stating I can not have those cameras up, sure enough he called the local police and they paid me a visit. The 1st set of cops advised it was a "invasion of privacy". They were not happy when I requested to speak to someone above him. The Sargent came and he was very "gray" about it. I have found nothingin the CA penal code stating I have done anything wrong. If anyone knows, please advise.

Re: My neighbors are spying on us
Ask for the code number of the violation if you are challenged about your right to have the cameras positioned where they are. Either they can come up with something specific, or you are within your rights to do as you please. Personally, I would make sure my cameras are positioned to record images of my own property and the adjacent public street and sidewalk and I would not position my cameras to record what happens on someone else's private property.

Stalked, raped and turned away by the FBI and loca
I contacted the local police for about a year, then I contacted the FBI who sent me back to the local police. I believe this is government authorized because no matter what I do, at a government job or otherwise, I am let go within a few months with lies and sabatoge at work. I have a 145 page documented case of sexual and hostile harrassment that the documentation shows is so obvious anyone would not believe could be contested, yet, nothing was done... Technology is easily obtained, that's true, but it does not explain why the police and the government does nothing to even address the issue. This is happening throughout the USA and I've recently heard on a Wisconsin radio station that "Individual Terrorism" is on the rise.

This all began in 2001 when I contacted the FBI regarding see ADA (the man who supposedly blew up the Trade Center Towers). This man was in Tomball, Texas in 2001 and the FBI did nothing. In 2003, the KKK had a recruitment meeting in this small suburban town and nothing was done about it (which included police officers in sheets I later saw riding around the neighborhood).

Since 2003, all those things annotated in my first message was done, and no one cared. What I learned from this experience is "THAT is what you get for getting involved.... even when asked to."

Malicious act of systematic harassment and intimid
10/6/04 - current I came home from work to find a closed circuit video camera aimed at our property. It turns on when we pull in the driveway or are anywhere in our front yard. A red light flashes and it moves back and fourth over our property, apparently recording our activity.
The camera was initially aimed so it was viewing part of our house where our bedroom windows are located. I am not sure if this motion sensitive camera also picks up sound. I have observed James Fisher re-aiming it several times. It was re-aimed by him to video tape my wife, son and myself as we pull in the driveway, enjoy our front yard, exit or enter our front or back door. It stayed in this setting until 08/01/05 where it’s now re-aimed by James Fisher at the street. The camera was aimed at us for almost a year. Its existence causes us extreme emotional distress. With a flick of his wrist the camera can be re-aimed directly at us again.

He has a second closed circuit video camera in his front kitchen window aimed at our property. Our lawyer instructed us to film these cameras and take pictures. The camera in his kitchen is now aimed at the sidewalk in front of his house. It is aimed so it is able to record and video tape anyone’s wife, children or little kids or other family members in the neighborhood who happen to be walking down a public sidewalk. This is of course without their knowledge or consent.

Additional Closed Circuit Video equipment discovered on the back of his property

9/7/05- current In the Fishers sliding glass doors out the lower level, there is a third closed circuit camera aimed towards the back of our properties. Which is where our outside Hot Tub is and used by my wife and son with the expectation of privacy. (How many more cameras is he using that are still watching us?). I have seen him on numerous occasions aiming, checking and re-aiming the cameras. Who knows what he does with these tapes of minors and young ladies in the privacy of his basement. They could also be posted onto the internet putting my family in extreme jeopardy from sexual internet predators.

Please help, the police, laywers and local goverment officials along with the comunities civic association seem to think there is nothing wrong wtih this. But as I tell them if it was happening to them they would think differently. Pleas help. I need immediate assistance and guidance.

Thank You,

Re: Re: Malicious act of systematic harassment and
Let me give you a point of view from one (myself) who was advised TO install security cameras/videotape. I moved to a sleepy unicoporated community in upstate South Carolina from a Columbia neighborhood that was wracked with vice and violence about three years ago. For the first year, things were tough financially, but relatively peaceful. I had been warned that the neighbors on one side of me had an abusive father and on the other side, was quite frankly, a pair of weirdos (with a history of drug use and abuse).

Video security cameras were installed to monitor my porch and my backyard after I was called to 1)Witness against the abusive father/mother in a case of extreme animal neglect.(An injured dog was left outside IN the heat for four days with the flesh ripped off one rear leg..It eventually crawled onto my porch on its own..These people have LOT's of money btw!) I was forced to get involved and due to threats of physical violence, continued harrassment, and the cops doing nothing, I found the cameras did the trick. Finally, DSS took notice, because as you know, those who would abuse/neglect innocent animals do the same to people. My cameras audio capabilities, although the lenses are pointed at my yard, have enough sensitivity to "record" any outbursts by this father OR mother and DSS encouraged me to record INCIDENTS (notice not all the time). In addition to this, some other neighbors, concerned for this familie's children as well as their own, FINALLY found the courage to start reporting to DSS and the cops. Again, these were NOT "Get your A** in the house Yungin'" stuff but violent outburts toward children and pet by a former football player. IN fact, one pair of Highway Patrolmen, one of who's grandparents live nearby, told me they'd WELCOME a "call".
The cameras being "ready" to record, have been, in my belief, the catalyst for change. The outbursts, atleast outside have stopped. The boy's coach got involved, and being a big man himself, read "DAD" the riot act I'm told.
All of this being taken into consideration, the 50 bucks I spent for a simple "wired" video system to WATCH for intrusion against me, my property,and my pets has worked!

NOW, unfortunately, the weirdo druggie neighbors are harrassing/stalking me because, well, that's what they apparently do to people who they just decide they don't like. It's gotten pretty serious of late, with me not having lights thrown on me when I walk my dogs in my own backyard at night, to being tailgated by his large truck on the public roads. I've filed a "stay away" (from property) order with the local Sherrif's dept. I have incident reports of having been cussed out in my own front yard for simply raising the hood of my car at 9am in the morning to adjust the idle (It's a diesel Mercedes, not that noisy) YET I've never called on these people when they party all night. (That's changing). I have called on the husband jumping in an out behind bushs with a pellet gun at 3:30am while he shot at passing animals. (He's also shot into a neighbor's yard at their cat, the shot richocheting(sp) and hitting their young daughter. The redneck duffuss father of that child just wanted to fight. "Don't believe in callin' no law" It wouldn't have been that with MY kid I'm telling you!
Reports of the guy having a gun (he's a fellon) and shooting between houses at dogs with a 22 rifle fleeing his yard (killing one ole lady's lifelong pet who accidentally got out..The dog killed wasn't in his yard at the time) The neighbors say they call the cops, but nothing is ever done. I found that the deputies to indeed be negligently lax BUT that didn't and won't stop me...When the husband started to follow me around, right on my bumper, I filed incident reports. County didn't take them seriously, but a small town nearby did. I called SC Law Enforecement and the ATF. BOTH have taken it seriously. I now have enough evidence via calls and written incident reports to atleast file a request for a restraining order. AND yes, I'm adding some more cheapo cameras to the other side of my house. Not pointed at this guy, but the city street in front of my house, and in strategic locations around MY yard, in case I need proof if one of my dogs is hurt or killed (OR these duffuses think it's all a joke and trespass for the helluva' it).

Oh yea, a call to the local authorities saying if this guy starts shooting at anything between the houses real or imaginary, will be returned in "Self Defense" FINALLYn has the cops doing THEIR job of getting these public menances out of everyone's lives and OFF our streets.

Video evidence is all one needs. Sorry about the long stories folks BUT there is a right and a WRONG way to do surveillance. In the case of the cameras pointed at YOU, "illegal surveillance" is the key word in other words, Video Peeping Tom.

Re: Malicious act of systematic harassment and intimid
You must be to chicken shit to talk to them. Seems you need to get some gumption to talk with the neighbor. If it fails then call the authorities. If you talk to him, he may move the camera down. But no, you are to chicken shit to talk. wow. Have you ever thought of the things that may have happend to the neighbor to put up the camera. Do not be stupid, just take pictures of the camera and the angle of the lense toward your backyard.

WE agree he's an ASS! We have a woman at the front of our easement who has placed a camera on the only entry & exit to our home, the only one behind her. We believe it to be harassment and a form of hate crime against us because our grandchild is a Juv. reg. Sex offender. We put up signs and she always wins with the cops coming and bitching at us. She runs a daycare but we were here first, he has done nothing to her. Her name is Rocio Gannaway from Peru, dumped the american husband. We Americans have no rights. We believe it will cause theft on our home only and may have already.

Re: Malicious act of systematic harassment and intimid
I had no ideal this sort of stuff is so common.like u my nabors have enjoyed stalking me from the comfort of their own home for almost two years now and though so many people comment is y worry if ur not doing anything wronge well ur right about what u saiid who knows what he might do with the vidieos he recording it doesn't matter if they r doing it from their own home rather then public stalking is still stalking the only differents with them doing it from their home is the cops hands r pretty much tied when it comes to helping u stop it. They make over a thousand different spy items they sell over the net from pretty cheap to ones that do a lot more for a little more money if they r vidieoing u they could be doing a lot more then that without ever leaving their yard try fighting fire with fire get u some spy toys and get as much proof as u can that they r doing this they even sell items that u can sit in ur home and ease drop on their everyprivate conversation who knows what u might over hear and record they could help u prove and stop what they r doing I know they say don't stup to their level but it might save ur life or ur family now I can't tell u that it has helped me to stop my nabor stalker but that's only because I have three kids and no extra money just laying around but as soon as I get paid this week is when ill start getting spy items to stop them. Uve gotta think odd r they have done me before to someone else and if not stopped after u they will do it again and like all crimials the longer they do it and get away with it the farther they'll take it with what they r doing already its not sohard to assume that one day they could commit sexual assult or even worse then if u can't get the cops to help with. The proof u get take it to every nabor around u warn them what's going on before long everyone will know what they r doing and begin paying attention to them all eyes on them it'll keep others safe and maybe help u to once again enjoy peace of mind as u family sleeps at night

neighbors invading privacy
I live in an aparment building and I do belive that my privacy as well as others are being invaded. I am followed as I go to the bathroom, kitchen, bedroom and living room, I can hear them above me as I go in and out of my apartment. They constanly harrass and taunt me in my own apartment. I have mentioned this to the landlord and she has done nothing. I belives she knows too. This has kept me having anxiety attacks and looking for another place. I would love advice on what to do. I am trying to find another place soon , even if its at a shelter just to leave this place.

neighbor continues harassment aft 7 years with las
It is amazing how much people get away with. Just 15 minutes ago my neighbor (borders my 2.5 acres) had his light on my house, sometimes he wakes me up in the middle of the night or as he has done in the past harasses me with it while I'm outside on my property. He has also taken to harassing a female neighbor who was a witness in one of my hearings. It takes the police 45 minutes to answer any calls here and no one takes it seriously. This is nothing compared to what he has done in the past. Recently I picked up a pair of what I believe are his eyeglasses on my property. He has trespassed numerous times also has been cited for vandalism. I'm a single female property owner. He has also had hearings regarding his behavior at work. The most frustrating part of this is that my female neighbor is afraid and doesn't want to call--she calls me now. After documenting and calling police and hearings he still continues. I stopped calling the police for the last year.

"illegal surveillance"
Can't you just get a laser pointer and point it at the camera?

Or on the motion activated cameras, put a motorized device in its field of vision to keep triggering the sensor?

I starting searching about rights and privacy because I constantly find food objects in my pool (funny I know) and I've had enough. I want to have video recording to catch these people but not at the expense of invasion of others personal privacy. What a dilemma.

Stalking Neighbor
I have recently found that my neighbor downstairs is stalking me and has setup infra red cameras in my house and even has them outside on the property which he has not posted saying that there is serveilance - this guy is a creep and he sits home all day and does nothing , this guy is also into other men and whats worse is my wife is in on this also because she knows where the cameras are in exchange for letting this creep see in our house. I have called the police but they won't do anything - this has me so furious I can't even go to work or have a normal life and am considering a divorce with a very long travel distance. I also think my car and my phone is being tracked , I mean if someone is going to pry into your life - why only go half way especially if you're already vulnerable. I suspect my wife of communicating with this guy but she denies any of it. Makes me think why she took my hand in marriage.

Big Brother IS next door, in Mapleton, ND
Watch out Meth cookers, law enforcement HAS MOved INTO SMALL TOWN, USA to keep look-out for the manufacturers of methamophetamines. After ordering the diet drug "phentermine" for 10 years, I, too, have been under the watchful eye of big brother and wonder why they've not arrested me for this. Most of the pharmacies I've ordered from online eventually have been closed (or reopened under another name) however, after writing the ND Attorney General and finding out that it's against the STATE AND FEDERAL law to order these on the internet, I've decided I'd rather be fat and lay around then sit in jail. Funniest thing of all, when I found three marijuana plants growing in different places in my yard, and my husband is still convicned that it was a "birdie" that dropped the three seeds and they began to grow. I pulled them and mowed over them and threw them in the trash. Good luck meth makers! watch out, you may be under the watchful eye of law enforcement.

Small Potatoes
i know this may seem like small potatoes, but we have a neighbor who watches us constantly, and does a phone tree around our community to tell people what we have been up to. We have a truck parked in teh community parking lot and the neighbors don't think it should be there, so they have started putting old leaves and branches in teh back and putting stones in front of and behind the tires to see if we move the truck daily. It's really unnerving to think she is watching us so closely she can tell the neighbors what time we turn out the lights, and if we were up during the night. Are there any laws against this. I know it is small potatoes compared to have people videotaping our home, but I am just looking for advise.

Have cameras installed on your property pointing at they're property. Install discreetly.Make sure he is not aware of the install.

Crazy neighbors
My wife and I have 2 crazy neighbors. The mother lives on one side of us and the daughter lives on the other side of us. They have made up many, many untruths about me. They have called the police on me 10 times and have spread untruths to my other neighbors! Had lawyers send me letters! They are a nightmare! I pleaded to the police that I have done nothing wrong to deserve this treatment! They suggested I mount security cameras in my trouble areas. So, i did. Within 3 days after mounting the cameras the mother called the police with more false reports about me. This time she was screwed! I played back the video and proved my she was telling many untruths about me. The police were shocked! Then, 30 days after I mounted cameras, one of the cameras in our back-yard caught the daughter spraying our trees, flowers, and bushes with weed poison. Then, she sprayed some of her own small trees and called the police and said, I had been spraying and sprayed her trees. Again, video evidence was on my side! That happened in July of 2008. I have had no trouble from them since! Thank God! My opinion is sometimes video evidence is needed to clear your name, as in my case. Now, someone pointing cameras at someone else house, property, for no reason what-so-ever is another story.

Dittos
I have an aunt that has some crackhead neighbors. my aunt had put up a video camera and tried to turn in the neighbors with the video evidence of them MAKING and using the drugs. The case was denied because her "video evidence" is recording the neighbors property, this yes, is an "invasion of privacy". The only way you can even produce evidence of ANYTHING is when its on your own property or if there is reasonable cause by the police department with search and seizer. No matter what your neighbors are doing, they have the right to privacy. If you see someone murdered or raped, that's a whole different story. If the neighbor is a peeping tom or just an annoyance with "telling you they have proof of your kids blowing stuff up in your backyard, you have the upper hand because its only incriminating evidence to your neighbor, not you. Its all about the "Video Angle". You are allowed to record everything that happens withing your property and you are able to use that as legal say. BUT, if you are angled outside your property line, you can not use this as any evidence until there is reasonable cause by the police, and even then its up to the court if they want to accept it as evidence. Keep in mind, this is Colorado i'm talking about.

neighbors invading privacy
I have the same problems with my neighbors. Some crazy woman moved across the street with her daughter who has bullied my daughter all year all school. First, she just watched us with binoculars, but when I complained to the apartment manger and called the police, I was told that if you have your windows open or are outside you forfeit your right to privacy according to the law. After time went by, they began spreading untrue rumors about me, and told people in detail how many times she changed her clothes each day, and what outfit she put on when she was planning what to wear to school the next day. They knew what we ate each night at supper, and went as far as trying to have me arrested for carrying “strange bottles” to my apartment all the time. I was buying Gatorade. When I put aluminum foil over all my windows, she began threatening us. We were granted a temporary restraining order.

In some states, stalking is illegal, but you have to have a lot of evidence to prove it. You have to document everything. Take pictures. Install your own cameras. Invite people over, a lot of people. Show them what is going on so you have witnesses. The police will not do anything unless you have proof, and even then
its hard to get them to do much unless there have been threats or someone gets hurt. It is sad, but that’s how it works here. You are better off hiring an attorney or talking to the prosecutor in your county. They can tell you what the laws are, and give you information on how to protect yourself. Don’t lose your temper around anyone. They will try to make it look like you’re crazy and paranoid. That’s what happened to me at first.

When you report invasion of privacy issues you have to be careful about how you word things. Most people will think your crazy, but if you tell them what you have seen, and have a picture and/or witness to back you up it helps. Document what is happening for a while. There are devises you can buy online and at radio shack that can block surveillance. There are devises that detect wireless and wired bugs, phone taps, etc. There are also things called jammers that disable wireless spy equipment.

Have fun with them. My lawyer at one point told me to buy poster board, draw hands with middle fingers sticking up, and hang them in the windows. One of my friends told me to scratch my butt and smell my hands constantly. Do crazy things that will get them talking about things are have no legal right to see. Get them to tell on themselves.

Hiring a private investigator is an option too.

I am still fighting this mess, but I finally have enough people listening to me and helping me, so hopefully this spying/stalking mess will be over soon.

To all you people with horror stories...
To everyone waking up shaved, gassed, harassed, having sound piped into your home and being watched every free moment in the "privacy" of your publicly viewable yard, try this...

Try *embracing* the technology you would so readily villify. If there is harassing behavior going on, the best way to stop it would be to document it on camera. Sh*t or get off the pot.

I myself have video/still motion detection cameras facing forward and back on the car I drive every day. It's comical to post peoples reactions as they pass the back of my truck; it's even funnier to see the comments people post when these photos are posted online.

Is it illegal? Not when the images are captured from a public location. Deal with it, folks... next time you're walking through a parking lot there may be more than the businesses cameras looking at you.

Stalking neighbors
I have lived a with a stalking "Christian" neighbor for 8 years. We have been through the ringer with them. They have cameras pointing at our house where we park our car and yes a bathroom window and our balcony. It's a long story but we have complained to everyone about it our attorney, sherrif, judge and etc. Gone to court they had better attorney than us and made us look stupid although they had no proof for their alligation NO not even videos. They have been asked to removed them but nothing has changed. I no longer have any money to fight it anymore. I'm beside myself I live in a rural area and live like we are in jail. This is not fair.

Nosy Neighbors and Urban Stalking
WHen I first began to notice something amiss in my daily life and how the subtle differences in daily activities was becoming more and more Obvious, I went to the internet. There I was exposed to far too many sites and commentaries which rambled on over and over about the same incredible scenarios, but went nowhere with it. It's The Government...Remote Viewing..Gang Stalking... Psychotronics ( which was my favorie fo the lot, pretty much)... Satellite Viewing...etc...
These sites go on and on and on and feature very little hope to the reader. It is like going to a horror movie that is truly disturbing, and then you are living in it. WHich makes all of this info ( and disinfo) sort of a Brainwash in itself.
I have since discovered a few things that have both Put me at peace with all of it...and also effected me adversely equally so. But it is much better to understand somewhat what is going on, than it is sufferring like before, wondering who? Why? What? THe Hell is doing this. The WHY is the most disturbing question. The darkest part is usually the Answer!
My advice to all... Treat the problem as if ..well, perhaps it is a sort of Disease that is part of you. YOu live with it, ...deal with it, and try to take better care of yourself. Worrying will only bribg about sufferring and probable death. Definitely psychological issues will flow from the well of worry.
Just realize...It is NOT YOU...who is being followed around by "neighbors"...or "aliens"... well...not specifically, in 99% of the cases. It is everyone. And if you become all-too-aware of this phenomenon, then it will BECOME YOU, who is targeted specifically. It is equal opportunity viewing and it is performed by..well...people who have been arounf for quite a long time. And they run this planet the way it must be run.
WIth the info you get on the net and all the hype, they can actually manipulate this state of concern into a situation of anarchy and hysteria...which they would capitalize on fully, and many lives would be lost, yet they would still be in control, the truth never being told to the public.
Best thing to do is...Relax. Take a deep breath... Live your lives as if nothing is wrong. When they send their signal to let you know their presence, just know it is a simple person making noise..they do not know what they are doing. It isn;t them that decided to make that sound. When you have fear, your frequency changes, and you become like a videogame or tv monitor, and this energy actually creates the very things that are freaking you out. And it will always keep going. I finally STOPPED GIVING A SHIT.
THis went on for years. THen one day something happened and I wound up falling down some stairs and broke a rib ( some guy was standing near a staircase , tapping his foot, with a cell phone pointing at me, I tripped when I saw him.. At that point, I realized, IT's OVER. Since then, the answers have come in different forms. SOmetimes I stil hear and see things that would seem to indicate those Synchronous Happenings from, before. But I simply DO NOT pay it a second though. And am blessed with a WAY nicer life these days that what I sufferred for several years in distress.
Ignore.......And Conquer! No...forget conquer..it is not the right mindset. Be at Peace With...MAKE PEACE with "your tormentors"...and they will not have your fear to drive them on. It is not Money they need for their operation...It is Strong EMOTION..PERIOD! Fear and Sexual Impulse being at the top their list of suppliers of energy.
Food for thought. Sincerely, Jim Myers.

Nosy neighbor surveillance
I posted a comment 2 hours ago and described something that happened that ultimately helped me to overcome a peculiar type of "harrassment" that occured for several years straight.
I mentioned there was a man standing at the top of a staircase and that I fell when I saw him.
What had happened was..I live in a nice condo complex... and I had gone out to the jacuzzi..it was late at night and the pool area was closed. It is a great time to enjoy a nice, peaceful sit in the sauna without others coming along while you are there. Anyway, afterward ,, I got out and was walking back to our unit. I heard what sounded like idiots clowning around and mumbling something "There he goes,toward the stairs". And a follow-up comment. I wanted to see who might have said this, or what they might do if I go somewhere else other than straight home. Keep in mind, that is what the whole thing with this harrassment
issue seemed to be...A GAME, perpetrated by others...pretty much everywhere I went. As if I ws not ALLOWED to have privacy or time to be alone. And their tactics were basically designed to "Let him KNOW you are there" , as they had particular movements and sounds that would easily be identified as Signals. Blatant...Obvious... Yet others close to me could see a Purpouse or design about it, and thought I was possibly "losing it". They could not understand where my concerns were coming from. i am a skilled musician...Bass Player ( standup and electric). ANd I am VERY sensitive when it comes to the TIMING of things. It was the Synchronous Activity that first got my attention, and it got worse as time wore on.
When I was at the Staircase leading to the Parking Lot under the complex, I went in and sat on the steps. I started to read a magazinwe that I was looking at while in the spa. Then I heard the footsteps. SO I awaited to see if someone would enter the staircase, knowing that someone was bound to walk in...a guarantee, since I was literally NOT ALLOWED to have a moment where they were not "watching me". I know, it sounds pretty paranoid. I am NOT a paranoid person by nature. Yet I did become quite paranoid, perhaps, regarding these " Games" that were going on. WHen I say games, it really was a battle of wills. I swear, if I was to drive out to the middle of the desert in the cold of night, and park...and just sit, thinking I was all alone..FINALLY ALL ALONE. I guarantee you, a car would have appeared on the horizon, cruising fast at first..Then it would slow down. Then, at about 50 yards or so from it , it would stop. People would get out...and it would be as though their car had a flat tire, or overheated...etc. For whatever reason, they would stop there. And simply proceed to make their Stupid noises..like the sound of breaking glass... the "hucking" sound people make to clear their throats, which , for some reason, I find more offensive than burps and farts)... Their conversations are always disjointed, and they are NEVER talking about themselves. Always a third party. Seriously, if you TRY to listen comprehensively, to their conversations, you will NOT be able to understand it. And that is for a reason. Of course, when trying to explain this to anyone, they will first think of WHAT IS WRONG here? in reference to the mental state of the attacked.
SO don;t bother telling people about it. I told my wife for awhile...she wasn;t really understanding. Then she started to believe me. THen she noticed very odd occurrences wherever she went. Then...well, we BOTH had to undergo this for several years.
The guy at the staircase...oh, yeah...let us not forget him ...which I am inclined to do as he means very little to me nowadays... I heard footsteps. But after over a minute, they continued, but noone was to be seen. I said TO HELL WITH IT, and got up pto return to the condo...That is when...and they were not expecting this..I turned around abruptly, and there he was. Some cornhole was standing just outside the slightly ajar door, TAPPING THEIR FOOT on the ground, while staring in with a cell phone pointing at me. I slipped and went crashing down the stairs. After about 10 seconds, the guy walked right by me..I could NOT MOVE, I was in shock. And he simply mumbled something like, " Whoa, that's quite a fall" or some aloof statement like that....with his phone still pointing at me as he WALKED OVER me!
As I said...If this is occurring in your life, it probably seems like A GAME. They do not touch you...they do not DIRECTLY hurt you...but they DO by way of torment and confusion. They seem to be police-like operatives, which they are not.
Seriously, the best thing to do is learn to get by WITHOUT
WORRYING...without stopping to LISTEN or OBSERVE the synchronous happenings around you. Just tell yourself..They are the sounds of Nature. No Matter how hard it is. you must do this. I found it to be QUITE EASY, actually. THat is when some strange coincidences led me to various answers that I could not obtain when under attack.
They were NOT answers I really wanted to hear...but what they were DID, in fact, bring me a sense of peace, knowing it was nothing personal and that NO ONE was personally out to get ME, per se. They are there. They are doing their thing. And it is NOT the government. Or , at least, NOT the GOvernment, as I , or we, understand it to be. And they are UNBALANCED in their sense of justice. It is not justice they seek at all. It is chaos, which is the only force that drives them. It is all they know, because they were abandoned that way. The only proper b alance to achieve in Justice would be to USE their tactics in a way that you MAKE YOUR OWN LIFE ***BETTER*** from it. Give up certain vices, train your thoughts to structured, good, positive thoughts about the future...do not dwell on the past or the feelings of guilt and unaccomplished visions will be their channel of operandi. If you do dwell on the past, then begin building on those unaccomplished goals, and bring them to fruition. In doing so, these ...hmmm, I will use some religious symbology here, since it really is HELL when you're under attack. In doing what I just said, you can turn these unbalanced "demons", if you will...
and they become as Angels, because they HELPED you to realize a better life for yourself. You tip the scales in your favor, and the unbalanced extremes of...(Justice?)..well, ..they will simply move on to the next unwary person who is sensitive to their presence.
I hope this helps. There is no way to describe it , really. I am being a little bit vague, yet very imformative at the same time. I want to focus on the positive, not the negative. I have seen shit that would really cause a stir in humanity, if everyone was to uncover it at the same time. Chaos would ensue. So I urge that folks do not go looking in the darker corners of the Earth for answers to this trend of paranoia that is in vogue these days. THis has been going on for a LONG time. It is nothing new. It is just that, with the electronic age, man's vision can stretch further into the dark than ever before. The Elders did not have electronic gadgetry, thus they were able to look into the LIGHT, as opposed to the Dark..which is supplied by Material Wizardry and plastic, short-lived Technological breakthroughs OF THE MOMENT. Thus, they have very little, if NO Soul, at all.
I hope this helps SOMEBODY out there. SIncerely, JIM.

Videos pointing over tall privacy fences
I have an 8 foot board on board privacy fence and no houses have windows that look into my yard so it is completely private. Thankfully I've got great neighbors on the side that shares the common side of my fence as well as on the other side. I would however be beyond upset if someone put a camera above the 8 ft fence line and pointed it down into my yard to take pictures of my private yard. When you have a completely private backyard I think you have reasonable expectation of privacy in that yard which is different that if you go out in your front yard. If anyone pointed cameras above my 8 ft fence line down into my yard which is not a security risk to them since it is my secure yard, I'd put up something to block the cameras or else shoot/damage them.

Video Camera Surveillance...
Our neighbor uses one single surveillance camera attached to their roof and pointed at our yard and pool to record all our movements and our minor children. The police have seen it and asked them to move it because it doesn't record or observe their own yard but they have refused. The police said it isn't illegal because a yard (even with an 8' privacy fence) is considered a public place. We put up a fence to screen our patio and have planted trees and bushes around the pool but they just moved the camera higher and still record our yard. SICKO's.

I was harassed and abused and had my garden ruined for 2 and a half years by my lunatic neighbour before I put a camera in my window. It's in plain sight not hidden and has stopped her in her tracks. I feel safer and so do my other normal neighbours who were also being affected by her behaviour.
Very few honest people have a problem with security cameras.

This has been very enlightening. I never realized how many crazy people there are in the world with internet access. Good thing I'm not one of them. I dont have any problems with nosy neighbors with cameras. I'm only being stalked by aliens with anal probes,the CIA with bugging devices, and the devil with lasers. Oh, and Al Queada is trying to kill me with anthrax. I find white powder in the bottom of my lemonade and cool-aid and sometimes in the bottom of my tea glass at resturaunts.

Asshole people
I just realized I'm being stalked by neighbors. I hope their eyes fall out their heads. It's sick. I'm married with children, and work from home. I mind my own business. My life isn't exciting at all. I. Don't understand why they feel the need to do that. I've been followed to doctors appointments, the store, you name it. My computer was hacked and monitored for 2 yrs or longer. My private conversations, sex with my husband, everything put out there. Since my address is out there, strange people have been stopping by. I can't sit outside without cars slowing up to look at me, or strange people walking by. People are showing up at my kids bus stop. One of my daughter just started high school, and I take her to the bus stop and wait with her. I don''t trust anyone. I've been slandered and defamed. I think they're saying I'm a crackhead. I've never smoked crack in my life. I've smoked marijuana before, but I 've never been on crack. Nor have I prostituted. I think they also think we sell drugs, which we never have. My husband has been at his job 21 yrs. I've been with my job 16 yrs and have worked from home with this same corporation for 5. We are black and this is a predominately white neighborhood. This may have a lot to do with. When we bought the house one of the neigjbors asked me if I had received assistance. Then he said if he knew the house was for sale, he would have bought it. I'm sure he knew. It seemed a tad bit racist to me. He's a retired cop. I think he has a lot to do with the neighborhood stalking. I forgot to mention the online stalking and harassment as well. I offended an Internet radio host as well. After that the stalking went into full throttle. I can't mention what's happening there. I'd be looked at as crazy. I have been threatend with death also. It' really out of hand, to the point where I have to buy a gun, change locks, and buy security cameras. I have children and I will protect them at all cost. I sick of these disgusting people. I know my life is boring, but there life must be really pathetic.

Neighbor harassing us for 10 years
Hi all, I have had a neighbor harassing us for 10 years and we have gone to court because he pressed harassing charges on us and we did not do anything to him, he is the one that came to my house at 5:30 am him and his wife and verbal attracted me with threats and accusations and then 2 weeks later we were served with a Injunction prohibiting harassment. The police will not help or court help so I went out and bought a Security Camera. I have mine pointing toward the driveway gate it does pickup activity from this neighbor. He has watched us drive up to our property and stares at us and the camera has caught this. He has also verbal attacked my husband when he came home from work one day. I use our camera for evidence aginst him if he every wants to take us to court agine. I don't trust this neighbor at all and he made the threat that he would do something to our property and he has also recruited another neighbor to also harass us as well. This is why I do not trust this neighbor and why the camera is up.

neighbor's video surveillance
as long as your neighbors are not posting videos of you in a public forum that violates any laws in your state they can have surveillance as long as they post signs. However do not be surprised if you try to turn in your surveillance to the police if they refuse to view criminal activity on your surveillance. Even more so if the police are friends with the criminals you are trying to report. Now the real kicker: when the police start charging you with harassment for having video surveillance because your neighbors have called them so many times because of your surveillance. Even more shocking is when the neighbors beat you up and the police dismiss all charges for the neighbor beating you up. In this day and age all criminal dockets are public but the magisterial judge that dismissed all charges is also capable of disappearing all dockets regarding the dismissed charges.

Video Surveillance
If you are doing nothing wrong, then you don't need to worry about being watched. I just did legal research on our laws in Ohio. My drug dealing neighbor's boyfriend was arrested, but she was not.
She knows that I have video camera in my window. Several druggies have moved out as well. In Ohio you can video surveill your neighbor, your car, and your property as long as you do not use it to commit a crime.

Of course the camera will pick up other activity. Cockroaches will not come out in the light.

Should we be empowered to kill or hang anyone who commit a crime? Even judges and lawyers study lugubriously to attain their licence to judge. So elaborating on the advantages of a CCTV installation does'nt efface the fact that CCTV usage should be @ the individuals freewill.

Unwanted Odd Attention from Others:
I don't want to seem like i am accusing anyone of anything. I think the problem i have is in a very gray area.I have occurrences in my life that lead me to think i may be being watched or monitored because somehow strangers and neighbors do things that make me think this is true.

How does someone who does not live with you or know you, somehow know your schedule in order to make noises to get your attention when your out of their sight distance? Or out in public, how is it that it seems like strangers acknowledge you with a noise upon your arrival at an establishment or they take notice after the fact? Why would anyone act odd repeatedly to get your attention at all? Nobody cares about anyone else in this world to this extent. People are usually in their own worlds doing their own things and most of the time oblivious or unaware.

But there are no video cameras, no electrical equipment of any kind that is visible anywhere on our rental property or near-by.I look average and act average, nothing about me is exceptionally different in order to maybe attract this kind of attention from others. But it still happens. It drives me crazy and makes me want to avoid going out in public ever because of everything i just explained - its just weird. I hate it and it interferes with the quality of my life and i don't know what to do.

Is there a new trend nowadays that requires making a noise such as the sound of a whistle or cough, other than the sound of saying hello, as another way of saying hello to someone? A cough is kinda rude and a whistle is extremely open ended. But this may be saying too much or not enough. If you want to become friends with someone you treat them respectfully and in such ways that you would want to be treated yourself. And then maybe a friendship is cultivated, and those things take time. then maybe there would be an opportunity to be closer to that person depending upon how things transpire over time. Aren't quality friendships worth the time and effort?

Some of my problem may be purely psychological,as any rational person might suspect after reading this, because there has to be a reason for things that happen. That is a lot of suspicion and little factual proof. If you make something out of something that it simply is not (like a mystery or conflict for example) then it becomes a personal effort, a.k.a. a potential psychological problem, obsession, paranoia,etc...

But if what i think is actually happening for a fact, like someone meddling into my life to complicate things for me, then why would someone go through the trouble of doing that to someone else who strives to be a good person, and who does not go around stirring up trouble? People are too potentially messed up in this world to be doing such things to others its just asking for trouble. The consequences for mistakes due to confusion are way worse in most cases also, so why not just try to do things right?

Thanks for reading

Re: Unwanted Odd Attention from Others:
Its ironical. In the exact situation. 1)In the grey area 2)Feel being spyed by next door neighbour, but no physical cctv or detection device found. 3)found unwanted strangers' attention, so developed agroraphobia 4)unable to receive understandings or same perceptions from loved ones.

The only alternative is to ignore the whole thing and live normally, maybe more earnestly, improve our lifes, have goals another words live positively. Maybe one day we save enough to move to another vicinity. Don't let others affect or run down our lifes though easy to say, hard to attain. But I believe this is the only way out. Don't give up.

Wireless cameras
DVR Wi-Fi P2P

Digital audio video recording system with Wi-Fi P2P technology

This device “Wi-Fi P2P” for the audio/video recording thanks to its minimum size can be hidden almost anywhere, even in objects and electronic devices. The DVR is able to realize audio and video files of high quality, thanks to the hight resolution component video and to the powerful microphone preamp. Not only that, with the “Wi-Fi P2P” you can monitor in real time what that is shooting the camera and listen the audio directly on your smartphones in wi-fi mode thanks to the supplied software.
At the same time the DVR Wi-Fi P2P is able to autonomously record audio and video directly onto a MicroSD card that you are going to enter in the slot.
The device is powered by a rechargeable lithium-polymer battery of small size, but with great features in terms of duration.. In addition, through a micro power supply plugged directly into the battery pack, you can recharge the system without having to move the voice recorder. The DVR saves the recordings on a MiscoSD (32GB max) removable (sold separately), making the file recovery fast and versatile.
The dimensions of the body of the circuit are about 5,5x1,8 cm and less than 5mm thick. The flat cable is extended of 8,5 cm and has a HD color micro camera at the end of size 0.5 x 0.5 cm.

right or wrong for neighbor to have computer on 24/7 spying on complex
My neighbor in the next building has a computer (how he did this I don't know) but he can see the front of my apartment complex. When I turn my computer on it shows him online 24/7. We share the same wifi that is fine but does he have the right to keep it on and use it? He knows when I leave and he knows when I come home. I see a lot of comments but nothing about whether it is legal. I feel very uncomfortable every time I walk out of my apartment

I have a neighbor kid in the back of my house projecting images on my bedroom sliding glass door. Middle of night, every night now. This is getting old. Have called police, they do nothing. I am trying to capture the pics but room is dark and all I get is a white shot. Any ideas what I can do to get evidence and get this kid either arrested or stopped.

D. Vidmar, 6 Nov 2015 @ 4:24am

I feel I "have" to put up the "cameras" in my area, please read and listen to "WHY"...
Hello, I am a middle aged disabled widow, who has lived in a middle of the road subdivision in Colorado for most of my life. Ive lived in this subdivision, for over 13 years now. and Since I bought the home, and moved in, all those years ago.. I have been seriously Harrassed, targeted ( or so it is what it seems like), my vehicles the past 7 new cars and trucks I have owned, have been tampered with constantly and had many parts removed from them "while my car was either in my driveway or INSIDE MY LOCKED ATTACHED GARAGE. I have had my belongings stolen month after month, year after year, and my beloved pets murdered and one, chopped into pieces and his body parts thrown all over my lawn and his "head" stuffed in my back yard dryer vent. I have gone through serious community bullying, and been accused by my own Doctors of having done these things to my own pets.. WHICH IS A COMPLETE LIE! I do NOT UNDERSTAND WHY the people of this messed up community cant just "leave" me alone! I stay at home, I don't collect disability as I have a large trust fund left to me by my father, and I live on that... I have woke up more then twice, since I moved into this home, (which is 100% paid for and I cannot leave) to finding pepsi bottles on my own nightstand, I DRINK DIET COKE.. and have not bought any pepsi products since the early 90's. I have gone to the police, and been ignored, or treated as though,I was "crazy", I have gone to my family, they are unsure "what" to do.. and they believe it is the local police doing this to me, I suppose for "shits and giggles".. I have gone to my doctor, and was so poorly treated by him, I was forced to prove my sanity by going to the "psych doctors He basicly FORCED me to go to"... Im sick of this backward town, killing innocent little animals for NO REASON AT ALL! I don't have a criminal background, I don't Drink or get out of control in public, I keep to my self, I love my pets, I try my very best to take good care of my home and keep the yard clean and tidy, as I can. (as my pets are tiny little yorkies, I refuse to even allow them to stay outside very long at all, because the neighbors, seem to walk their dogs, against my backyard fence, and get my three little guys really barking on purpouse. its almost "more" then any one person should ever have to be put through in one lifetime. yet, thirteen years later.. here I am, still going through it! the constant robbery of my belongings is too much! I swear it.. it will STOP VERY SOON.. or I will do whatever it takes to catch the thieves, and shoot them DEAD while they are inside my home.. Im terrified most of the time, and have endured severe health problems due to these conciquences, Ive quite had enough. yes, my father built a "supposed" pergola area in my back yard two years ago, it was an attempt to protect my sweet little dogs from having any more of them MURDERED so CRUELY... the people that live in this neighborhood are stuck up, judgemental, backwards thinking BULLYS! and they have ganged up on me, the younger, but disabled woman (alone) with a bit of a wilder past.. Yes, I did drugs, and partied, but those days are gone... and I have never even been arrested for any of that.. then, or now.. this seems to strickly be a case of "lets mess with the Rich peoples kid"... and make her as miserable as we can just because we can... plus, some of these neighbors have been envolved with the local government offices, and police, and they realize, that I have been around this town all my life, and I have not only "seen" the corruption in its local government, but I have personally witnessed extremely serious CRIMES that have been a "ongoing" way of life for these city officals and enforcement members, Im NOT SAYING ALL OF THEM ARE CROOKED! by any means.. but, there is a SERIOUS GROUP of THESE people that are taking the worst of the worst types of "advantages" that can be done, associated with their types of jobs and power in this community. there is a very serious case of Robbery, embezzlement, fraud, and power playing going on here.. for crying out loud, I have known many many police officers, fbi agents, as well as local District Attorneys, as well as Judges in this town, that were far more criminal and wild in their "nightlife" behaviors, then the local "biker" gangs are. and far more guilty of criminal and drug abusing behaviors... "gee, maybe that has a ton to do with why they are hating on me so very much!.. cuz, I KNOW. I have found, that 3/4 of the Judges, District Attorneys, local law enforcement personelle, lawyers, business heads, bankers, and social service personnel, "all" have a very unique little hobbies.. its "ham radios" .. and I have tuned into these open air conversations only to find, that they are discussing the lives, and court type "outcomes" of the local citizines in this fine "town"... sometimes, to the extent of talking about the courtroom Drama the "next" day will play out to.... against the accused. now, if Im not mistaken, THIS IS A VERY VERY SERIOUS CRIME! they make no quam's about trying to "hide" their obvious self-propelled power trips around here.. and if you know the "truth" about these town "top dogs".. and understand just how "tretcherous" and "rotten" they really are in truth... your bullied... "literally, to DEATH. and the suiside rate here in this town is extremely HIGH! EXTREEMLY HIGH! to the point of being laugh able and jokeable as to "why" there isn't anyone elce figuring this murder the innocent people and take everything away from them they can get? because THATS WHATS GOING ON! so many have killed themselves because of this HORRIFIC TREATMENT they have received by the community here.. so called, "CHRISTIANS"??? I have to Laugh again! hiding behind the shield of Jesus Christ is one of the worst things Ive ever seen a criminal do... even if, that criminal was a district attorney, or hot shot lawyer.. yet, in this town, that's just the norm. and its very troubling! Colorado made marijuana legal.. not, because it might have been a medically "right" thing to do.. or because, its easier to legalize it, tax the crap out of it, and make the money to "help' this State.. to make it better.. not even close! its all about pocketing as much of that money as the hot shots possiably can, and screw the state and people of Colorado.. they are just going to addict all the kids.. and then control the familys with the fallout of those addictions.. mark my words... well, there you have it.. MY OPINION.. now, you all "might" have a damn reason for the nasty bullying and torture your putting me through... but, I'll tell ya this much.. Ill NEVER KILL MYSELF! and I'll FIGHT YOU ALL EVERY MONEMT TILL THE END OF TIME... to expose the real Truth! about the GREED and CONTROL of the jerks that are throwing their weight around in this community... so, GO AHEAD.. BULLY AWAY! I WILL NOT REMOVE THE CAMERAS from my yard.. NO I will NOT! I will watch you, as all of you have "watched" me for years and years... I will make you all as uncomfortable as you have made me.. It isn't very nice being treated like you have treated others is it? well, get ready... because, I am just getting STARTED on all of you low-lifes that are pretending to be "good guys"... the jigs up... your dirty,nasty,low down, skanks... and not much of human beings.. but, you are all so damn good at being twofaced... and not counting your own dirty deeds.. its all going to "catch" up to you.. I swear it is.. and that will be the best day on this planet.. because, it might actually make Colorado a "nice" place to live and grow up again.. like it used to be in the 60's and 70's.. before the greed monsters decided to mob up, and take whatever they wanted from whomever they wanted or could.. SHAME ON AL OF YOU! oh, now...... you're "really" going to hit me hard with anything you can get away with.. I wouldn't put planting illeagle drugs in my home or car past you... do whatever you all "know" you want to do... your exposed now...!! and the little, guys.. the innocent good real church people of this community.. that actually "know" whats been going on for so long.. "just" might stand up against you all... and make your lives... just as uncomfortable and miserable as you have made so many of the ones that "didn't" deserve what you did to them....
peace out.. and STAY THE F*** on your own damn property or your going to get SHOT! go ahead.. MAKE MY DAY! hahaaaa

Privacy
People have a legitime and valuable right to privacy inside their homes and cars , and this is not in question.. Everyone who get into an store a see the sign where said that store is under surveillance is accepting be recorded otherwise they have option walk away and eat at home. The fbi can overheard a conversation in a public place and use that against the people , because a Restaurant is a public place for customers but a private place for owners. The safety box in a bank need a court order before be released to anyone else, bank have high privacy protection. People have privacy in their mailbox does not matter if inside the post office and in their personal information does not matter if is government hands. The United States Postal Office should not be allowed to release personal address to collectors , because any person could fake be a person with good intention but also could be someone hire to kill a human...Personal information is private and just should be release in high profile cases when criminal investigation are on going and with judge orders..in my opinion

Re:
I am in the same boat. My neighbor has complete control of my home phone, cell phone and computer. He has stolen my cable and he also has some kind of thermal motion detector that alerts him to where I am in my house. He has this because he is a drug distributer. Hes scared to death and hes getting away with it. My brother is a detective and even he thinks Im nuts. The sob is forcing me to sell my condo, but Im not done with him. I will get him busted!! I have confronted him which now leaves me very vulnerable to harm. I worry everyday. I am about to get a security system, but its not going to stop him from knowing my every move. Guess I have to wait until he comes in my home again so I can POP the SOB. He will get whats coming to him.

You are experiencing gangstalking phenomena
Greetings..

What many of you are describing is gang stalking phenomena.

gangstalking is often carried about by religious fanatics. I explain could in detail why, but then you would think I was a crazy person & you wouldnt believe me.

Anyway, understand its alot worse than many of you who have posted are aware of.

My advice to you all is never let them program you as a robot, think for yourselves with FREEDOM & LIBERTY in your hearts. Let logic & reasoning be your guides as you follow your hearts to the bliss of your happiness. Be an automaton, self programming. Live, learn, and relish every moment of life.

Be advised, it is probable amongst the gang stalking tactics you experience deployed against might be YOU being labeled crazy. This is done to isolate the targeted individuals. So people wont believe them when they report acts of violence. You might be kidnapped to a psychiatric unit and tortured among other things.

Always be friendly. Remember they want you to be afraid of them and think there is a boogey man beneath every rock. They want you to play their games. Its how they get their kicks. DONT DO IT.

BE FRIENDLY WITH A BIG SMILE, AND THOUGH YOU MAY FEEL LIKE BREAKING DOWN, DONT GIVE THEM THE SATISFACTION.

I have personally been experiencing alot of the things you all are describing in your comments for a very long time.

You will find that they have probably recruited those living nearby you with lies to assist them in their acts against humanity.

Do not submit to the likes of such.

JUST BE YOURSELVES & LIVE FREELY IN HAPPINESS.

I advise you to pay attention when you hear helicopters. You may notice routine physical pain, to energy radiation being directed into your home.

You may notice all of your communications are tapped.

You may notice random acts of vandalism of your properties.

Be aware gangstalking phenomena is taking place all over the world.

BEWARE OF BEING POISONED. BE CAREFUL. BE CAUTIOUS. THINK, THINK, THINK, AND THEN THINK SOME MORE BEFORE YOU ACT AS YOUR THOUGHTS MAY NOT BE YOUR OWN.BE AWARE.

Remember, JUST BE YOURSELVES AND DONT LET THEM RUN YOUR LIVES BECAUSE I CAN ASSURE YOU ALL ANYONE WHO ENGAGES IN SUCH BEHAVIOR IS CERTAINLY NOT QUALIFIED.

This Gang stalking is done by free masons learn who they are research them print flyers and expose them they are involved in almost everything they are all satanic, know who they are you can find out where there local lodge is and then the Master Mason who runs things are suppose to keep it a secret on punishment of death. Sing my favorite song which is masons are the devil when and if they harrase you they will be angry and leave most of the time you can also print a flyer with the eye of Osiris it is in a triangle put a sword in the eye and write 666 underneath, they hate that one they run like cockroaches when you turn on a light. Know your enemy study your enemy, coordinate with others that are having your same problem, and fight these followers whose king is Abaddon, for your sake and or for all of humanity.

Its important you stand on your feet & use your brains.

Regarding the use of energy.

You can use insulating materials, which you can purchase online to block them.

You can construct a safe room in your home. equipt it, insulate its walls & windows...and construct a FARADAY CAGE within. To block energy signals.

You can purchase cameras & have them set to live stream to a secure third party server encrypted. Just in case they break in & cutt your heads off and dispose of the recording system evidence.

You can use plant medicines to bolster up your health.
like for example: san pedro cactus, coca leaves, cannabis, psilocybin mushrooms, ayahuasca, and so forth...

You do not have to participate in being a victim.

gang stalking by definition is a form of terrorism.

I will tell you the truth, you are probably not going to find much assistance form law enforcement as they are probably working with the perpetrators of this crime in colusion.

Your Neighbors may be the Government
APARTMENT SURVEILLANCE STAKEOUTS

(or, The government may be spying on you)

The apartment above or below yours is a great place from which to spy on you. Forward looking infrared (FLIR) cameras, augmented with motion detector switches, can be used to track every movement you make in your apartment. Here are some indicators to listen and watch for.

Suspicious quiet (or, the dog didn’t bark): You know someone’s up there but the neighbors never take a bath, shower, flush the toilet, or use the washing machine, clothes dryer, dish washer or garbage disposal.

Suspicious noises: You just got up from your living room recliner and moved to the kitchen and someone upstairs did the same thing. What a coincidence! Do you ever hear the sound of cables being dragged across the floor when this happens? At other times do you hear the thumps or clicks of motion detector switches upstairs when you move from one room to another?

Work Schedules: Do people upstairs arrive or depart in seemingly regular shift change intervals? A twenty-four hour surveillance stakeout might be divided into eight-hour shifts, for example a day shift from 5 AM to 1 PM, an afternoon and evening shift from 1 PM to 9 PM, and a graveyard shift from 9 PM to 5 AM.

External Coordination: Do people in the parking lot - in close proximity to the apartment of your “neighbors” and yours - spend excessive amounts of time checking their IPhone messages? Are they checking “monitoring lists“ (Google it!)?

Late night meetings/parties outside the building: Do small groups of people gather at one end of the building late at night, perhaps between midnight and 4 AM,? Do these events occur at regular intervals, say at weekends near the end of the month? Does a police vehicle occasionally deliver or pickup some of the attendees? Are there empty bottles, beverage cans and/or bottle caps there in the morning? Information must be passed down! Morale must be maintained!

Parking space assignments: Do certain vehicles (not white vans) get preferential parking near the apartment of your “neighbors“ (and yours) in the parking lot? Look for military base registration decals - no longer required but possibly still there - on these vehicles.

Is the surveillance stakeout common knowledge to a few of your neighbors?: Do members of the apartment association board (or their family members) or others know about the stakeout? Perhaps it’s time to start attending the board meetings!

It is the masons they have slowly taken over almost all aspects of law enforcement and almost the protestant Christian, only the catholics refuse to let them take control. this is all what these gang/MASON STALKERS REFER TO AS THE GAME THEY HAVE IT AS A FORM OF CHESS. and they are playing with your life, to destroy you, they even work with the FBI. Become a catholic and go to your masonic lodge for answers.

Invasion of Privacy
For those of you having issues with neighbors with video cameras pointing at your home, I feel your pain.

However, what I have been going through for the last 5 yrs. has been pure hell!

My home was a foreclosure. Either the people who were here before me installed surveillance devices, or after they moved out the person living on the adjacent lot installed the surveillance system.

I have no privacy. The low-life neighbor has the ability to transmit into my home also. And he does not live close to me. He is located in back of my 10 acres.

He can see me on the outside as well. To many times my movements have been coordinated with his movements. This has not been by accident. He watches and tries to frustrate me to the point I will move.

3 times I have been in my own home, while he was on his driveway which is about 80 yards away. And I have said aloud for him to blink his lights if he could hear me and he did.

Imagine living like this. I spent $1200 for private investigators to scan my home for hidden surveillance devices. They were very thorough but found nothing.

I have gone to the sheriff. I have contacted the Justice Dept.: nothing. I have gone from one entity to another, including the county prosecutor, with no success. No one has any suggestions. No one will point me in the right direction.

I have been told by some of these people to move. Or 'what do you care if this person sees you in your home and hears everything you say'. Both statements are utterly absurd.

This is my dream home. Why should I move? I am not the one who has broken any laws. I am not the one who has threatened him, as he threatened me. I don't stalk him. He stalks me.

What I continue to go through has been unimaginable. Pure hell! I am glad I am single with no one living with me to go through the same thing I am going through.

I have and will continue to exhaust all avenues in my attempt to have this maggot arrested and prosecuted but I have no proof. No matter how much effort I put into to finding the source of this surveillance, I always end up with nothing.

Anyone with any information as to what the person is using and typically where to look for the transmitter would be most appreciated. Frankly, I would not be surprised if transmitter is in the inner walls of my home.

And just as everyone else: you would not believe what O have been through with this sadistic monster!

Cop for my neighbor
So our houses are faced towards each other. There hasnt been any burglarys the entire time Ive lived here. Nor do i ever even have Company come by. First of all the owners lives next t to us. We split the house. He never has company. Homebody. Dont work. He can hear anything. The worst part the cop across the street has a serveillance camera facing directly at us. Im not happppy that he told my roomate. I had people over and they spent the night running in and out all nighy. WTF? My daughter came down from Humboldt to see a close friend who lived very close to here so she spent the night and they visited quietly in my rv. The only one running in and out was me making sure they were happy and comfortable. What the Hell gives him the right to say anything to anyone about what we do or do not do here. So i confronted him about it. . hesaid thats what he does. H has the eye for unfamiliar faces on our street. He obviously didnt see anything wrong with what he did. But now i have to move and im pissed

My problems started with a sheriff called gary painter, after noticing and being exposed to people running drugs and calling into the midland county sheriffs department, nothing was done being told by Scott Reed, that Gary Painter offered to erase his criminal history for 10 thousand dollars, who was out of prison on parole for holding down a 16 year old girl while his brother raped her and then raping her, and helping his brother chop up the body after his brother killed her

"from the big-brother-is-next-door dept With all the stories about governments or corporations becoming "Big Brother", it turns out that Big Brother might just be next door." I told you guys and no one would listen to me, no they thought it was all okay to do it. People lied to me, told me that it wasn't possible to do it, that the warnings were good for us, that they were not creating a system for total surveillance, that nothing on the internet or off the internet could be hacked. I told you to stop it, my friends told me in 2003 or 004 they told me about this, it made since to me. Now where are you at? You are gone seemingly and I am all alone facing this. The gov is mad at me cause I told you, I told every body.

Reply to all!
First of all,Having cameras means the person has lots of Money,Valuables,or Business.
Business could be Lawful or Unlawful.
If the party lives next door and the cameras pointing at
Your door,Spray paint it,Let them pay court costs v.s. the cost of the offending camera.
Just my input.

Freedom of with camera/video survelanvce, but not sure of that!
Stalking: is some one who is deliberately taking pictures going past your home or in the area all day long, to watch you, irritate, intimidate, cause harm, for noise campaign or watch you for reasons of harm!

Just driving/walking taking photo for a contest or birds and for the exercise for the fun and even looking your way... and looking around, this is not stalking, it is just driving or walking for the fun/exercise and looking around!

unless otherwise told by POLICE you can't or was warned otherwise by authority!!

If neighbor says you can't go past their home walking, riding or even for exercise for any reason or for a photo of a bird ..and not for you!!,
it's taking your rights away and controlling you if they say you can't without a law involved!( then that is Taking away your life and freedom and of the constitutions laws!!)

BUT if that complainer who does not like you going past their home does opposite of what they say. Then they are seen driving past your home all day long this is unfair and ileagle as hell and reversing what they in an intimidation and controlled effect!!

but with videoing/recording!
You can't use your own surveillance video/recordings in court cases because they can be changed by you... before court case, to change outcome or criminal activity!
That is what I was told, unless the law changed!

..........................................................
How-ever Hooking up with a police/authority different situation and I don't know anything about that!!
(?)(?)~~~!

new neighbors have been watching me
the neighbors across the street have two cars. one is an suv, and the other a small sports car. Since they moved in , i noticed that every time i go on a particular website, the guy who owns the small car, comes out of the house, jumps into his car, and speeds off. this has been going on for months now. and if he is not there, then the person who owns the sports utility vehicle is there, and also either leaves or returns when I am doing something on my computer, most of the time when i am on social media. I noticed that a few minutes before I typed my electronic signature on the online tax return this year, the guy in the small white car left in a hurry. I don't know why they are doing this, if they are capturing information from my computer and relaying it to someone else. this morning, i was at the window - big mistake - at about 10:19 am, and was testing out the video features on my phone. at 10:26 a.m. the same guy comes out of the house, jumps in his car, and drives off down the street. I think he was probably filming me with a camera with a zoom feature, or watching me with binoculars or a telescope. I feel harassed.

Neighbor spying at front and main deck which includes hottub
I built my house 38yrs ago. Have had the cooperation of 38yrs & 5 owners to adjoining property. For that long, I have walked trails and road (which I have an easement for) and 3 wks ago, 5yrs 2 months after this owner buying property, He told he I was trespassing and would call sheriff. Fast forward to 1 week ago, he ran a barb wire fence 10 ft from my deck. And mind you, his house is 90 acres away so security is not the issue. He has a gate at entrance of his property that everyone is video coming and going. I just discovered a video aimed at front of my house and South deck which I use as entertaining and hot tub is on that deck. I was told by law enforcement that he is legal because his land but he has no security issue as he film us coming and leaving our land. He will say it is game camera but why is most of my house viewed for wild game? Somewhere I ran across statement that says video is legal in public places, this is not public land...it is mine and his. The privacy laws this country are atrocious, if perverts can do this to law abiding citizens!
