Neighbor Builds A Fence And Puts Up A Camera Facing This Guy’s Yard, People In The Comments Come Up With The Best Solutions
A home and a yard, perhaps an untenable luxury for many millennials and Gen Z’ers, come with a comforting amount of privacy and autonomy. In the comfort of your own home, you can do what you want with the safety and security in the knowledge that it’s your piece of ground.
But one man shared his tale of horrible neighbors with the internet after they raised a fence two feet higher than his just to put a camera up that would face his yard. He turned to the internet for advice and was presented with a plethora of ideas, ranging from pranks, jokes, and gaffs to methods that might get the neighbor in legal trouble.
Privacy in one’s own home is an important right

So one man had a bit of a shock when a neighbor put up a security camera facing his yard

Privacy is protected under the law, but not in every situation
So setting aside moral and ethical questions, in which OP is absolutely in the right, technically, in the US state of Texas, one can install a security camera in their territory and have it point at a neighbor’s land. However, to actually record another person on their property requires their explicit permission, which OP has naturally not given this neighbor. Now, it’s quite possible that the neighbor doesn’t record anything through the cameras, but this would mean that they can only use them to actively watch OP, which somehow seems worse. One advantage OP may have is that the cameras are in the backyard. The front yard, despite being OP’s property, is still pretty visible from a variety of directions, so he can not reasonably demand that no one looks at him there. But the backyard is different and he has put resources into enclosing it.
While we do not have enough details to make any truly in-depth judgments, there are a few factors that don’t paint this neighbor in a particularly flattering light. First, that a legal injunction was needed to get them off OP’s property. Then the fact that they raised a second fence higher than OP’s fence, which is, at best, monumentally petty. The backyard-pointing cameras are just the cherry on top of this horrible ice cream sundae. While it remains a possibility that this neighbor is just security-conscious, we might have to consider the alternative, that they are simply anti-social and hostile.
Bad neighbors are not likely to change by themselves
We have a decent idea of what being a “good” neighbor means, as Jesus Christ, Mr. Rodgers, and others have all given us some working examples. But in reality, many neighbors are downright bad, selfish, and annoying. Indeed, the entire advantage of a private home and maybe a yard is the ability to “escape” from loud or obnoxious neighbors that one might encounter in, say, an apartment. The unfortunate truth is that many people possess inflated egos, are deeply entitled, and may be suffering from pretty significant personality disorders.
Even in cases where the person does not possess any sort of disorder that would explain poor behavior, upbringing, and personality can always leave a mark. While many recommend that OP just talk to the neighbors, realistically they already know what they are doing. OP should still do it, at the very least, he will be able to say he tried before seeking legal action, but it would appear that a higher authority will be needed to get this neighbor to change their ways. Unfortunately, a spiteful, antisocial person can and will find ways to harass and bother someone. This is another reason why OP should already start building legal evidence against them, as it might be important to build a future case.
Some netizens suggested a few humorous ways he could take advantage of the situation
Others discussed legal options
Forget about the police, go to your local district attorney's office. Show them pictures of the camera and let them know what the police said. Tell them you need an explanation of the law regarding cameras like this.
Yeah, police don't give a c**p about this kind of thing and don't know the law half the time anyway. It sucks, but consulting a private attorney is probably going to be the best (legal) way to go. Until then, maybe set up a small LED strobe light at it. The bright will blind it and I think the strobe effect will set of any motion detection on it.

On some CCTV cameras, if you aim a bright light (laser?) at the lens long enough, it will burn out the lens, so all he sees is black. I wonder how many cameras he's willing to buy? Also, you could plant the bamboo in huge pots, maybe put them in a wheel barrow if you expect to have to move them! That way they won't take over your yard. Maybe plant tall cypress trees to eventually provide you with a lovely view?
There are a few types of bamboo that do not spread like weeds. You can look it up. My mum had a boring corner in her garden and I planted one. It's so pretty :)

That way you can tell the DA that he can expect to hear from journalists regarding this issue & you're letting him know so he can be prepared to answer questions about it. Since DA's are usually voted into office, he'll want to make sure the "court of public opinion'" knows he's doing his job. No elected official likes/wants bad press. Tell him you can't wait to let them know how helpful he has been so far. The "so far" Implies your opinion/feelings about him could change if he ignores your request for help. 1😁😉🤤
He says Texas. My European mind automatically thinks that he can use the cam as target practice.
I'm all for putting things right in front of the camera: Pinwheel, birdfeeder, hanging basket, parabolic mirror, or a giant metal cutout of Texas, all would work. I would even put a flashlight on a stick and point it at the camera.
I wouldn't give him the pleasure of watching birds.

Place a yard sign in your front yard with an arrow pointing to their house and beneath it say these perverts have intentionally pointed a camera directly into my backyard.
And on Next Door, and Facebook and the local Piggly Wiggly or community bulletin board!

Some muddy dirt & schmutz collected on the lens, oh no!
Load More Replies...that neighbor is either police himself or has friends on the force. the dog attack was what did it for me
I had similar problems with a neighbor where I live (I live in North Carolina). He had bought a property in foreclosure that once belonged to my sister. There were (and still are) clauses in the property deeds about access rights and such. The first thing he did was shut off the water to a home we had on the adjacent property (one of the clauses in the deed). Then he started telling us we couldn't use our own driveway as it was on his property (it wasn't) and planted fast growing trees where he thought our driveway straddled the line (we simply moved the driveway a few feet away from his side). We commissioned a survey to map out the boundaries (which cost a lot). This m**o rips down the flags and digs up the iron rod in the driveway (no small feat) because he insists the driveway belongs to him and doesn't want us using it. And everytime we'd call the sheriff's deputies out there, they'd tell us "nothing we can do about it."
Wow, that's horseshit! Sounds like vandalism and trespassing at the very least to me. I hate that you're having to deal with these kind of morons. Once you've determined your property lines he shouldn't be able to come onto your property and do anything. I think I'd speak to your county attorney or someone in the DA's office there and tell them that you know that he has to be committing crimes and you want something done about it. It's ridiculous. I wish you the best of luck.
Load More Replies...You can build a cheap short range signal jammer. Hang it on your fence right below his camera. It's on your property, so he can't complain about it. Be sure to put it in a water proof box
Am I the only one who thinks it's suspicious that the cops refuse to do anything despite the law clearly being broken? *cough* corrupt officials *cough* bribery *cough*
Blow the f*****g thing off with a shotgun then set fire to the ignorant, nosey bastard's house.
No, that's impolite. Catch the turd out in the evening and ambush him from behind, where he cannot ID anyone. Hurt him. Really hurt him, but incognito. Have family and friends and you on his camera, so his own BS helps you. I live in a place that, for $20, a street rat would hospitalize this human piece of sh*t. And a different one would go after this clown every time I peeled off a $20. He'd get tired of not being able to go out. And the cops would do nothing, cuz unless they get to shoot a brown person, they're not interested. And I make a good enough living I could spend $20 a day forever to fück someone like this. I'd give his car plate numbers to crank fiends and talk about the stereo stuff, and let every street rat in town know about all the stuff the idiot has but doesn't lock up. And I'd feel no bit of guilt if some jacked up jailbird hurt him, his family, or his pride. I'm that guy that folks say: "Not the man with which to fück". Cuz I escalate.

Nah f that. Walk over knock on his door. Ask him what his problem is. Whoop his a*s if need be. I’d slap that thing off the fence with a baseball bat. You’re going to record me and my kids in my backyard. Yea think again bud.
This is exactly how all these people should be treated. Should be law that you can woop these people who do this . With you 💯

No. We dont own ride horses as a mode of transportation either.
Load More Replies...How is that even legal? Spying into your backyard? I know I'd be within my rights to give ONE warning, more one order, to remove the camera and not replace it - and if that isn't done within reasonable time, I'd happily help him take down that violation of my rights and prevent it from being up or running ever again.
Just stop mowing 3 feet from the fence line. You will have native plants growing there quickly. Good for pollinators. Giant sunflowers easily grow to 10 feet in a few months. Found this out when we neglected mowing our backyard when hubby was in the hospital for 4 months. I'm in North Texas.
Most municipalities do not allow residential fences higher than 8 feet above grade. If you're estimating it at 9 feet, measure it, video yourself measuring it, and report it to your town council, because it's a permit violation. They'll have to take down the top part of their fence. (If that doesn't work, put a large bird feeder directly in front of it...on your own property. Legally, there's nothing they can do about it.)
Pee off your back porch every morning looking straight at the camera with a s#$ eating grin on your face. His only proof is illegally recorded video footage. Also, the “visit the DA’s offices” is a great idea (or call/email). Someone else said it as well, but your average cop only knows the handful of laws they enforce. They are not even experts on those, they know what they have been told, most have never read the actual law(s) themselves. All you get from them is their, sometimes questionable, advice. No one likes to admit that they don’t know, so they are giving you their opinion based on whatever experience they might have on the subject.
Fun idea, but it sounds risky - there are places in the US where public urination can land someone on a sex offenders list. Given that the cops seem to consider a fenced-in backyard a public area, they could arrest the OP and charge them. (Very different in Canada: a drunk teenager peed on a war memorial in the capital - picture on the front page of the local paper - and the consequences were: being told off by lots of people, minor charges, an apology to war veterans, and community work).
Load More Replies...Come in from the back of the camera one night & spray paint the lens black. Make sure to wear all black & hide your face. They can't prove who did it. He'll get tired of buying new cameras.
This is actually illegal. If it was on his house covering his yard and inadvertently showing the neighbors yard, then that is fine. But you cannot legally put up a camera to to purposely watch your neighbor. As a side note, video surveillance laws are very vague if they exist at all.
You say it's illegal then say laws are vague or non-existent???
Load More Replies...If the camera is a day/nigh camera, make a IR LED array and put up next to the camera and point it towards the camera. It will bloom out from the excess light and not see anything, and the guy nextdoor will not have a clue what goes on, thinking it's broken. Better yet, put it on the house on a swivel with a lens, and direct it at the camera. If he moves it, repoint it... He won't see anything, day or night... https://securitybros.com/how-to-blind-a-security-camera-tips-and-techniques/#:~:text=Using%20Infrared%20Lights,sensor%20and%20obscure%20the%20image.
Just buy a sheet of plywood and lean it against your fence, right where the camera is. If they move the camera, move the plywood. Cheap, and nothing illegal about it.
It’s rural Texas. Shoot it and leave a squirrel corpse nearby. Any questions are easily answered by saying that you’re ridding your property of pests.
Go viral. Call your local news station; the infamy should prove to be quite embarrassing for the nosy neighbor, AND the apathetic police.
I'd try to find an old satellite dish. It doesn't have to work, just be large enough.
I would order some hideous yard statue that is small enough to sit on that fence railing. Then super glue it on the post right in front of the camera. Won't hurt if you accidentally got super glue on other "parts" of your fence!
I’m wondering if the nasty neighbor has a lot of friends in the police department!
Pretty stupid posting. The question is - Why would your neighbor want to spy on you?
Does neighbor pay off police, have police friends, in business where police are taking their side???!! Baffling. Im also in Texas. Thank God we have always had wonderful neighbors. This person or family sound like a nightmare. How can ppl be so inconsiderate go out of their way to ruin others lives just bc they are miserable.
Get a ladder, reach up, and adjust the camera so it's pointing to his yard. Also I'd like to know why this neighbor is so nosy? What are they trying to catch on film?
Oh man, hope your camera is slime proof, cause that’s the first of MANY things getting slapped on it
I would plant vines or mint! They take over EVERYTHING! Before you know it, that thing will be blocked... 🤣 You could just put anything on top of that fence, or get an air-gun/pellet gun... 🤷🏽♀️ Shoot that right out. Ooops! 😂🤣 I had a target up but I missed. It was my first time! 🤪
My thinking would be a spike type flagpole you could drive into the ground. Make sure the flag blocks the camera completely. Or one of those moveable basketball hoops (bonus points if you can find one with a reflective backboard). Something that can be easily moved whenever you wanted to. It's not invasive like bamboo and if he moves the camera it's trivial to move your blocker.
If you can't damage it without trouble, get a sturdy post with a big board on the top, so all the jerk will see is the board. Also, on the camera side, paint something like "eff off, you nosy, creepy, psycho! If there a microphone to catch sound, stand there (maybe warn any nice neighbors first) blowing the loudest whistle you can get. Do it for like 5 minutes straight if possible. It seems like there should be a law against this kind of invasion of privacy
Has OP seen the video feed? Is it possible it's aimed down the fence line and not actually into the yard? Putting a pinwheel on OPs side would definitely help figure that out. Heck. Put one along the fence line at every post. The shiny metallic kind.
I thought he said it was pointed into his backyard, can see patio. He flicks it off and the rude nosy neighbor calls police on him to tattle ask they scold him for acting "childish" Overall very confusing and frustrating situation. I am outraged appalled for him!
