The local police knocked on my door. I refused to talk to them, but they wouldn't leave, so I called the sheriff's department, and had them removed, for trespassing. One of them argued with the sheriff's deputy, and was arrested. Local cops avoid me now.
right? if I didn't want it to be private I'd just store my stuff under a god damned tarp instead of erecting a structure WITH A LOCKABLE DOOR to protect it.
@@libertarianman69, how can one claim that said pathway was only put in place by and for the owner, and for select individuals invited to use? It’s not unreasonable for someone to put things into their property meant for their own use and not the public, like a driveway and a walkway from the driveway up to the house.
I find it absolutely disgusting that paver stones are considered “public access” to your private property that needs to change. It’s an absolute horse shit ruling
I have seen people put up front gates with locks and doorbells or buzzers. If that is locked, it should be clear that they cannot come all the way to your front door without your permission.
It is BS. Public "invite"/access or not, it is YOUR property. Which according to the Constitution is protected from search and seizure without a warrant. It doesn't matter if it is accessible or visible by the public. No such distinction is made in the Constitution.
@@davidpeppers551 I have this, it's fabulous. I want an automatic opener, so I don't have to get out of my car and unlock a gate, or lock it behind myself. It's locked by virtue of not being operable by hand from outside.
I've joked with the wife that if we ever had to go that route, I'd want a working portcullis. At our previous house, we had a few planters on the second story outdoor balcony, and occasionally, they'd fill with a lot of water from the spring thunderstorms. I actually had some doorknockers once who wouldn't leave the property until I threatened to pour the "molten lead" down on them. Today, I'd be telling them to go away before I taunt them a second time.
The doorknockers have been ignoring the "No Solicitors" and "No Trespassing" signs directly under our doorbell for years now. Today, we deal with them by simply not dealing with them, and "Don't open the door to strangers" is a good practice anyway.
I have a side wall that I can come out of on the side of my house that has a 90 degree view to my front door. I also have a pack of dogs behind that wall that don't miss much. IF I decide to talk it will be from there.
More and more frequently as the police state grows people should mind their own business and not 'help' police. People have had folks 'Swatted' to death by reporting suspicious activity that wasn't suspicious at all. Snitches need stitches. Don't be a Karen.
You want to solve crime go be a police officer other than that, thats why we pay taxes, for them to figjt crime. But as you look cops are more of a criminal than criminals
I'm not interested in helping the cops. The crime you're trying to help them solve is probably just as trumped up as the charge they're going to lay on you if you say or do the wrong thing.
Several years ago, my husband had been stopped by a train. He reached for his cigarettes, knocking them onto the floorboard of his car. He rolled into the car in front of him and just touched the bumper. The other driver came roaring out of his car, screaming and threatening my husband. Hubs cracked his window, and told him he would talk to him and look at the car, but he wasn’t safe with the behavior of the other driver. Hubs finally turned his car around when the man began to beat on his windshield and car, spewing profanity. About 4 hours later, the police came to our door. (2:00 am) And wanted to talk to my husband. I knew what had happened, so I said ok, and went and woke him up. They asked him if he would answer some questions and he said yes. But then the officer sent another officer to his cop car to get the Miranda paperwork. I was more awake, and told him to hold up, there was going to be no mirandizing of my husband. As my husband woke up more, I heard him say, get out of my house. The officer asked him what did he say? Loudly this time, hubs told him to GET OUT OF MY GODDAMN HOUSE! They left. These officers were out of their jurisdiction, so I called our police department and there were totally unaware that they had entered our jurisdiction without notice. Nothing ever came of it, thankfully, but I learned that night that they cannot & will not enter my home again without a warrant!
Simple. I live in the country 1/2 mile off the nearest county road. The lane to my house is mine. My house is surrounded by a 8 foot privacy fence encompassing 2 acres. I had county officers without any warrants come to my front door. Told them to leave. They refused. I stated fine I am calling the state police post to have them removed. They left and never came back.
I would've said, "Walk away or be carried away. Otherwise, you are under arrest for aggravated trespass, and you can go in front of a judge or a coroner." My front door/porch/foyer are all under audio & video surveillance. I'm familiar with self defense, and arrest law in my state.
Courts can not make laws. They can only administer the laws passed by the state and federal governments. Anything more is an overreach and disbarment country.
Astro-J I think your recollection of history is muddled. Moreover, your tone tells you are triggered by my observation. The Truth has this effect. Probably vaccinated. You've failed the most important IQ test of your life. You are in no position to make claims regarding the intellectual honesty of men who have already proven themselves.
no you get the government you fund quite chasing the all mighty dollar and you will stop seeing 100k in road signage lights per mile of city streets you really need a metal in ground sign telling you not to park every ten feet or toss your crap out of your car
I don't have these issues anymore since I put up a 6-foot fence in 2015 while going through my divorce and I lock the gate. I have no trespassing signs. I do have a sign on the fence with a phone number to call if somebody needs to to reach me. I did this because of all the police harassment while going through my divorce.
It helps to call another police agencies directly. If cops are at your door and you told them to leave and they don't, call the Sheriff's Office. The Sheriff is usually elected and his office is more responsive in many jurisdictions when a competing law enforcement agency is breaking the law. Then get a lawyer.
They're trained to do that. They are specifically trained to frustrate and agitate people in an attempt to provoke a response they can plausibly claim required a violent response on their part. That is exactly why you constantly see them screaming "stop resisting" when the person is clearly not resisting. That is exactly why you see them show up on the scene with no idea what's happening and immediately have a confrontational and accusatory tone. That's exactly why you always see them reporting over their radio (intentionally within earshot of the person) that somebody is acting irrationally or not complying or acting like they're drunk/high, etc.
@@phlodel Did you expect something else from a constitution written by mostly plantation owners? OF COURSE it's supposed to be paradise for the rich, but full of loopholes for the rest to get fucked
A phone call to Sheriff office. and you get to hear the Deputy educated. Then Sheriff himself call next day to apologize. See he, or she are ELECTED position.
Yeah. Me too. Even putting their foot in your door so you can't close it. Also refusing to let people go into their house claiming they don't know if you have a gun in there.
@@gunnydeeP.I. which literally doesnt matter and is an illegal reason to stop you from entering your home if you arent being arrested. 2nd amendment isnt suspended just because some moron wants to intrude on your property.
My ex wife works at my local PD, overslept one day. So the PD sent cops to check on her. She was supposed to be at work. They knocked on the door, I answered, as she ran through the hall to the shower to get ready, I went to shut the door so they couldn't see her barely dressed, the pig stuck his foot in the door to prevent it's cover for her.
me and my neighbor both have fences up front. nobody can come in unless they cut the lock. Vote in better city council members and have them change it. Or run for city council yourself and let that be a main campaign push
sounds like all good advice, but i cannot help thinking as soon as you say the words "call your lawyer" they have succeeded in punishing you via financial hardship.
Unfortunately, the maximum height of a front fence in California is 42 inches. So the cops can just walk by the front yard and see everything. Side and back fences can only be 6 foot without a permit. So, there's really no expectation of privacy of your property in California. Yeah I know, California sucks, but I can't afford to get out.
Hampton Law has consistently uploaded HIGH QUALITY videos!!! They always contain matter pertinent to civil rights on a level not covered by other channels. Thank you for that.
Except that it all ends with you having to get a lawyer and pay him several thousands to maybe win the case, maybe lose, but the lawyer will always get paid and nothing ever happens to the corrupt cops.
1)What about if kids in the house let the officers in? 2) what about an outbuilding that you call your 2nd home? 3) How much damage can officers do to an outbuilding to gain entry. You said a lock isn't enough. 4) Are impenetrable bushes on the perimeter the same as a fence? How about a creek/ river/ ditch that you can't drive through? 5)Do officers have to leave open fields when asked to?
In the example you have given, if I have 100 acres only the area immediately surrounding my home has any expectation of privacy? I would assume if one has100 acres, it is reasonable to assume nobody can see you from public property, and that a shed 99 acres from public property isn't open to the public. A sidewalk from the driveway to my backyard isn't an open invitation for anyone to come on back and look around. What's the current law on drones? Hovering a drone 10ft high and flying over a privacy fence would seem to be an invasion of privacy. But 10,000ft up, no problem. So how high up do I own the airspace? Someone with a drone can't just fly into anyone's yard and film, right?
you know with this open field thing i think we should go looking on judges and politicians property for sheds and stuff because its not attached to there houses. fair is fair right?
If you do not have a reasonable expectation of privacy for you shed, and you don't have a privacy fence and No Trespassing sign, does that mean anyone (just a regular person) can come on your property and go search in your shed? That's clearly insane. Could you not tell them to leave? If so, why can't you go over to the cops in your shed and tell them to leave? Am i missing something?
What if you crack your door to talk to police (which you should never do but that's beside the point) then you ask police to leave and one of them sticks their foot in the door? If you try to shut the door they will claim officer assault and if you walk further into the house they will claim they feared for their safety and enter your home to grab you.
I would just explain that it's pretty foolish to antagonize someone when you can't see both of their hands. My door swings in from left to right, which allows me to keep my right hand out of sight. And it's holding a 1911.
Get those locks that have a chain and the door can open just a few inches and if they try to stop you from closing the door just wait and not let the chain come off?
What's great is when they just RETALIATE RELENTLESSLY and stalk people for anything they can when you offend them by telling them you don't want them there.... That's a sad and real thing people need help for.
In none of those instances did the cops leave when they were told they were being trespassed and then none of those distances were those cops even held accountable for trespassing. So the verdict is a cop can trespass all he wants and there's really nothing you can do about it.
You can do something about it, just not in that moment unless you're willing to end up in a body bag for trying to defend those rights. You can however file and win civil rights lawsuits for those kinds of violations of rights. And it's fairly routine to get evidence suppressed when it's obtained from an invalid search or unlawful detention or something.
@@Rowgue51Good luck. Do you know how hard it is to get a lawyer to take a case against cops? Do you know how hard it is to get around qualified immunity because judges will almost never side against their foot soldiers the cops? You have almost no recourse against cops. Notice this guy never mentions filing criminal charges either because he knows prosecutors would t prosecute and other cops wouldn't arrest.
@@mikhaelis You have no authority to file criminal charges. Only the state files criminal charges. And people win civil rights lawsuits all the time. Qualified immunity is a thing and it can be difficult to overcome if it's a unique situation. But most civil rights violations involve things that are clearly established as being unconstitutional behavior and it's very easy to overcome qualified immunity in those cases. There are at least a dozen prominent attorneys with channels right here on youtube that do nothing but civil rights litigation. It's an entire industry. Now if you've got a weak case and you're asking an attorney to take your case pro bono then yeah good luck finding someone to represent you there.
So many of these videos say "call your lawyer". I don't have an attorney on standby. Odds are getting an attorney on such short notice are pretty slim unless there are ways I am not familiar with.
Simply call a law firm you can get a lawyer real quick. Most of them are networked if they can't find someone who will take your case at the firm they have someone in another firm who they will recommend that will be exactly the lawyer who covers that type of case.
@@Lostboy811 you might be surprised to know that some of wicked 1) wear blue suits and 2) will assault good people on their own property in the dead of night, at like 2am We DO NOT live in a free country anymore, only the Boomers believe that lie.
All of these court "rulings" are unConstitutional BS. The courts have no authority to decide what is open to others. In doing so the courts are legislating, which the Constitution expressly prohibits them from doing. Your property is YOUR property, and according the Constitution YOUR PORPERTY is free from searches and seizures without a warrant. It doesn't matter whether or not it is visible or accessible to the public.
OK there Sparkles, tell me who defines what the Constitution means if the courts are unconstitutional? In this video, which I have seen before, the cop is allowed to go to every dwelling on the property and ask the people inside questions. YOU may not prevent them nor may you interfere. YOU do not get to decide if the other person wants to talk to the police. YOUR right to own property is not absolute.
And this is why the country is the way it is. Example: "that's just the way it is" are COWARDS! My property should be my property! My home, my land, should be my own country. Just like the whole country, the borders go to space and to the center of the planet! So if we are paying for it through taxes, who's the coward that voted for that. The government is supposed to be servants and if y'all can't see what's going on, you get what happens! This conversation is sad to even be debated!
@@alanmcentee9457our rights are absolutely absolute. However we live under a tyrannical government, who just makes up rules and laws Willy nilly, while violating the very constitution that they’re supposed to uphold. And they would jail you for practicing your rights, while saying you broke the law, and “rights aren’t absolute”. When government is violating our rights they have no right to govern. The judges are corrupt and blatantly misinterpret the constitution for the gain of the government. If 350million people can clearly understand a right, but a judge says they’re wrong, who is really wrong? The corrupt judge. F the government.
@@alanmcentee9457 Yes, it's the courts who interpret the Constitution. Alexander Hamilton's defense of judicial review in Federalist #78 needs no review here. This isn't a property ownership issue though. It's a privacy issue. Police have to have probable cause to enter any dwelling whether they have a warrant or not. The requirement of probable cause is an absolute requirement cops have to meet. Otherwise they'd just be home invaders. And people in or outside of any dwelling have an absolute right to remain silent.
@@sirius212ify Yes, but not quite. Your right to privacy extends to your home and the curtilage. If there is a second home, or multiple homes, the cop may visit each one to speak to the occupant(s). Those other people have the choice of speaking to the police. Interference by the home owner is still police interference when he does try to speak to someone.. This is no different if it was an apartment building. The building owner / manager can not refuse police to speak to everyone in the building.
True curtilage is often subjective with the officer. Is it the driveway, the sidewalk, the porch, or just the house. I had an officer want permission to search my immediate back yard which was fenced due to a fleeing suspect. I heard sirens and let my 2 German Shepherd’s out within the enclosure. I just stated that if someone was in the back fenced in portion of my property, dog barks and screams would exist. There was not any.
The problem is when they stick a foot in the doorway so you cannot shut it - if you jam their foot trying to shut the door, then it is assault and they will enter, take you down and arrest you.
That foot in the door has been ruled deadly force by some courts. Some courts have said that a[n armed] cop rattling your front door knob is deadly force, and justified shooting through the door.
What if they claimed to have a 911 call. I just had an incident where the lady Nextdoor accidentally called 911 and hung up. The cops showed up at my door and wanted in. Luckily I knew one of the officers that responded a few minutes later and was able to talk to him. The others weren’t so friendly
@@jasonshults368 I can tell the truth and still get on a jury. The welfare recipients in the just us system are not that bright. It is easy to speak truthfully and still make them think you are an idiot.
I've seen plenty of instances where as a juror I would find it reasonable to use force against police. I've seen far more more instances where people attacking or resisting police were 100% not justified. I don't think you would be a good juror if your automatic presumption is that the force against police is justified. I also don't think someone is a good juror if they have an automatic presumption that force used by police is justified.
3rd and 4th circuits are functionally split on Open Fields. SCOTUS will likely take up one or the other cases (Tennessee or Pennsylvania) and the wind is currently blowing hard against Open Fields.
Call 911 ask for a State Trooper & have the fool, law enforcement or Not arrested.. ‼️ been there done this.. had a county Sheffs Deputy arrested & yes he lost his job over it.. trespassed.. & then I filed a restraining order & was granted said restraining order .... which disqualified hi. From owning possessing or carrying a firearm he was... yep you guessed it fired...
Response time for state police where I live (2o minutes from D.C.) is about 6 hours. I don't think the state police would be interested in coming over, anyway, since they are sworn to protect the county police. They would just tell you on the phone to comply and let the officers in.
@cstacy by all means, comply or Not ... if you don't understand your rights, then you're a fool.. 1st state troopers have Oversight over any local jurisdiction, 2nd the moment you call 911 and demand a state trooper take over the situation, over city & or county governing law enforcement... all 50 states, ALL 50 STATES. Must Comply State Troopers Have jurisdiction over all city or county law enforcement. Once asked for ... 👍 know your rights..
The universal all encompassing excuse and justification for the cops to do anything. The perfect "exigent circumstance". Entirely fictitious and unprovable, and thus one has no way to defend against it. Even if no weed is found, even if you never have in your entire life been within a mile of anyone who even MIGHT have used, it's still not a defense, because you can't prove a negative. You can't prove the cop didn't "smell" it. You can only try to prove you don't use or carry it, and no one else who does has been in your home or on your property. I'm surprised that cops don't just as a general strategy automatically just use it for anything and everything. From a game theory perspective it seems like a very successful simple strategy. It's not like they're actually going to be expected to have records of how many claims resulted in actual busts for it. An unverifiable accusation with no means to objectively analyze it either quantitatively or qualitatively, with no records or actual accountability or consequences for misuse seems like a very broken and op strategy that needs some sort of serious rebalancing in future patchs.
Tennessee has addressed the open field ruling, and changed the laws concerning it.. now they're not allowed to enter "open Fields" in Tennessee, no matter the acreage of "said property"
It sucks to jump through all of these hoops to keep people you don't want to snoop around your property off of it while allowing visitors and people making deliveries to come onto it.
@@BubbaHotep-b1vthis is where having a tight knit community comes into play, unfortunately, there is to much diversity though and ideological subversion by the Gov
What a load of bullshit, even if you sue the police, its the tax payers who pay. Nothing comes out of their paychecks, pension or is in anyway punitive to them
You guys see the case where the home owner opened his door, cop puts his foot in it, refuses to leave, guy tries to close his door, cop throws him on the ground arrest him for assault. Dude did not win in court. Thanks for you videos man, I appreciate them. Lots of great info!
This is sad. As a BP agent I always obeyed what a property owner requested of me. I always treated them as I would want to be treated. I did that because in my past, I was severely mistreated and harassed by police. I feel that law enforcement should be defending US citizens instead of trying to coerce them into making a mistake allowing police into their homes. Where did we go so wrong? We should be able to trust law enforcement. When I showed up with a warrant, there was no conversation necessary. If I didn’t have proof of a crime, I didn’t ‘ go fishing’ around.
NO. A gravel sidewalk to my front steps and paths around my land is NOT public access. I don't give a flying fig what the "law" says. It is for ease of access for our own family. We live in a rural mountain area and my husband is a disabled veteran so he needs to not have to navigate roots and rocks to get around; he also has trouble getting in and out of the car to open and close our driveway gates-that does not mean the driveway is for public access. I DO have an expectation of privacy on my 5+ acres, which is, by the way, covered with No Trespassing signs and much of it fenced with livestock fencing (so, what you're saying is that I must be able to afford thousands of $$ to fence the entire 5+ acres with a 6' wooden privacy fence or my entire property is for the public w/zero expectation of privacy? That cops can just rummage through my barns for the heck of it? Hell to the NO.)The legal system, not "justice" system. is out of control and weaponized against our citizens. When cops push their way into our lives and the government fails to protect our rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, using the Constitution like toilet paper, we are already WROL and a law unto ourselves. Don't even get me started on the drone spying thing. It's trespassing, same as squatting, not a right of way hovering around my house and will be treated as such. Look up fee simple ownership- Drones do not have legal right to trespass on my property whether owned by the cops or a private citizen; it's the same as a man looking into my windows at night. I'm frankly sick to death of being told what we *can't* do if we are being abused by government and suggesting avenues to fight unjust intrusions over long periods of time with money we do not have. Our entire government is out of order and the courts are full of $#it. Not trying to be hostile here, but we don't hire lawyers and we don't talk to the cops. We don't do anything wrong, we mind our own business and keep to ourselves on our debt-free land and we expect to be left alone, period. My sign at the beginning of my sidewalk says "No Trespassing. We're tired of hiding the bodies". Funny, huh? May not be such of a joke in the future. What this boils down to is that WE HAVE NO RIGHTS unless we have the money to defend them and make our property a fortress, so apparently, only the rich have rights.
I forget the RU-vid channel where I saw the video, but I saw one where a person opened their front door to the police with no warrant and after asking the police to leave they refused and one placed his foot in the doorway. When the person tried to close the door he was arrested for assaulting an officer.
This shit sounds so feudal. No expectation of privacy and therefore cops can just walk on up anywhere on it unless you turn your property into a fortress practically.
Back up and say I do not consent then shut up. Make sure you have your phone going to record what they have done. Then file a lawsuit against the cops. When a city/county pays out a lot of money for these violations they will change the policy of the cops.
Have you seen the one from copwatchcali and vigil something in a library gets jumped by some crazy dude and Cali spray him after getting hit in the face multiple times. He is bleeding. After short time the cop come and immediately jumps on Cali and put him in handcuff even though he is the victim. The aggressor they never handcuff because he is "agitated" over how Cali was allowed to film in public. They let the aggressor go, but takes cali with them in handcuff. The other man vigil something is filming and the sergeant comes closer and closer to him standing still and filming while explains what happened. Cop,ask to see the video and Cali say he will show them the video if they release him from the cuffs, police refuse so vigil refuse and wanna keep filming but suddenly the sergeant steps forward almost into his face and screams Stop trying to grab my firearm!! This is the second time you have tried taking my firearm!! Jeez. It's a great video. Corrupt as hell and just wants a reason to act hostile and claiming a reach is so he could have a reason. It's pretty new. 10 days old. Library calicopwatch vigil and you will find it.
The best thing to do is to not answer the door. But if you do, say "Sorry, I don't answer questions. Hey.. I'm sorry, I was just in the middle of cooking something on the stove when you knocked and I need to get back to it before it burns." Hard for them to engage with that. Now, If you immediately tell them to get off your property. Well.. that's called "Contempt of Cop." You are not respecting their authority. And they will not leave and will turn into bullies.. and A dirty cop will try to get you to accidently touch them, like trying to close the door when they have their hand on it or their foot on the threshold. They will rush into your house, slam you to the ground and arrest you for assaulting a cop.
So, if I'm understanding him correctly, No Trespassing signs on private property and even on private, locked buildings on that property, mean nothing to LEOs outside the curtilage? Please tell me I missed something.
Only way to tell them to leave is to tell (aka talk) to them. lol You can talk to police - just talk about anything other than what they were talking about. Scenario: Cops knocks and talks and asks you about some kind of criminal activity. Your reply is 'I think the donut shop is at a different address than here. Perhaps you made a mistake and came here?' Ever wonder why people remove their house address from the property? Perhaps display a funky house address (like putting numbers backwards)? Or even upside down? Warrant must be exact - no ambiguity. If house number does not match the address exactly on the warrant, then the warrant is invalid. Just something to think about.
In a different law firm's RU-vid video, I believe "Flex Your Rights", the attorney stated: "If the police show up at your door with a warrant, you MUST ask to see the warrant, read it AND THEN LOUDLY SAY: "I see your warrant, I STILL do NOT consent for you to enter my home & search". I say you should write that statement ON the warrant that way the police can not say you gave them consent. The police usually say: "I (we) have a warrant. May I search your house?" Just say "I see your warrant but I do NOT consent you or anyone to search my home, house, person or vehicles !!!" The REASON you say that is that the "warrant" may be defective & BY STATING "I SEE your warrant but I STILL do NOT consent for you to enter my home search (neither my body or person or vehicles)"
If they have a warrant, they don't ask politely if they "may" search your house, because they don't need your consent. They yell "Police! Search warrant! Open the door!", then proceed to break through said door if you haven't opened it within around 60 seconds.
You can't trespass the police from your property. Their right to investigate trumps your right to your property -- that's why there is a special exception for curtilage. And why curtilage is subjective, and does not include your entire yard and might not include your driveway that's 3 feet from your door. It's really just your house that is protected, and perhaps the two feet of land surrounding the building. (And it has to be your actual primary residence building where you sleep most of the time -- an outbuilding like a guest house or workshop/shack/garage 10 feet away in your backyard is not included, either. Curtilage is the land you stand on in order to physically touch the walls of your house, and perhaps your front deck. That's it. And cops will refuse to leave your property, doorway, or let you even close your door. They know nothing will happen to them. And any resistance by you, or any talk, or any look, or anything at all, is all that's necessary for them to attack you. If you are indoors, don't answer the door. And I hope your window blinds are drawn. They will snoop all around outside the house, no matter what you do or say. We live in a totalitarian police state.
Very good video, I appreciate it. I’ve seen cases where the cop puts a foot in the door and dares the homeowner to remove his foot under threat of arrest. How can this situation be handled?
Hello Jeff, what if the officers lie about having a search warrant like from the movie, Training Day? You have said police can legally lie to you. Can they lie about having a warrant and enter your house and then have qualified immunity?
According to Barry Cooper, if they even hear something inside the house leading them to believe you’re in there or definitely if you come to the door and won’t let them in, they’ll most certainly come up with a reason to break in WITHOUT a warrant and get away with it.
I made a no trespassing sign on my property stating. no trespassing "all" trespassers will be shot call number for entry. Haven't had an issue yet for the past 8years, the police has called me before to request entry.
Looking forward to that drone video even though our problem is more so a nosey neighbor I feel. I live on a 6 acre strip of land in Oregon and over the last month or so there has occasionally been a stealth drone flying overhead and honestly it is getting a bit annoying at this point. The whole property is fenced, none of which is privacy fencing. I am pretty sure I know who has been doing it but not positive so its hard to ask them not to do so or even make a report of it. The thing is we have lots of trees and they usually keep to the tree tops but I really only notice it because they are flying almost directly overhead. If you happen to read this and could somewhat cover this scenario in the drone video I would appreciate it.
I loathe the idea that since you can't afford a privacy fence and locked gate, you aren't afforded the luxury of private property rights. It seems highly prejudicial to me. The fact I made a sidewalk from my front porch to the mailbox, for ME and my convenience, isn't and invitation to anyone else.
Great add for your business! I’m not sure where most of you live but the cops in my town are great. Maybe because I live in a small town but I never hear complaints like the ones being posted. Cops here are super friendly.
If they want to pat you down for weapons, but if they do the search while you're on or inside your own property, where it is LEGAL to have a weapon on you with no license required in any state, as you can carry a weapon when you're on your property or Legal place of residence.
If the cops do have a valid search warrant, before you go silent, you should tell them that you do not consent to a search of any areas or items not covered by the warrant.
What if I have 2.5 acres with a goat fence, but plant trees and shrubs that are of sufficient height to block the view. Is the state allowed to move branches to the side in order to see better than they could by looking through the leaves?
Record. Also, call 911 that armed intruders are on your property after being told to leave. Yes, they are cops. Instruct 911 to send sheriff (if it was city) or contact state troopers (if it was sheriff's dpty) to handle the case with higher authority.
I feel you may be wrong about curtilage -it is not JUST patios etc, it is the WHOLE of the area surrounding your house up to the boundary as shown in your deeds eg fence line, road or footway, when it change to local authority maintained or right of way, or a neighbour's land.
The truth of it is this. Cops can come in and do whatever they want to you or your things. Unless you record it, they can say anything they want and be believed.
Quick question : what's the basic rule for living on a private driveway (no maintenance performed by the city, county, or state). All maintenance is done by me.
