How to stop cars from turning around in my driveway

[PILOON]

.

We had trespassers on our farm during hunting season (posted no trespassing). Some of them said they had been hunting there for years, they had permission from land owner (which they did not since we were the land owners). Sheriff wouldn't even come, but I still told them I had already called the sheriff and already recorded their license number from their car/truck. Many were from the west side of Washington and hunted wherever they felt like over here on the east side... they did not understand private property rights at all.

I had a vacant lakeside property that squatters liked to use for fishing and camping.
It was posted and had a so-so barrier as well.

Deflating a tire sure discouraged squatting!
Took some a second deflation for the message to be learned however.
(as a nice guy I only deflate one tire) and never slashed but a removed valve stem gave a clear message.

Now days Milfolia and other water invasions are a major concern for lakeside properties.
With Milfollia the tiniest morsel can infest an entire lake in a very short time hence our concern.

I really wish you luck.

Be prepared for retaliation once someone gets charged. These kinds of jerks have no sense of responsibility.

Nah, the neighbors know who these punks are ( drugs ) and they don't want the attention and usually stop. There is a few neighbors who have confronted them with shotguns to stop it and that was that... I don't want to go that route, and the way our property sits like a hub between 3 subdivisions, its a little more complicated. To walk around from one subdivision to another its about 1-1/2 mile but to cut through my property its just a matter of a few hundred feet ( this is the largest property in the area and odd ) for the area, but if a developer was to buy this they would build 5 or 6 houses and separate the land into plots which the neighbors don't want nor do we. A few have been stopped in the past and in the system, warned of the consequences if they continue,,, well their days are numbered now. Im not afraid of them, and they know it too. They haven't seen Thug yet from this Ole "ex" city boy lol

Funny that a pilot can manage 2-4 navigation devices, a complete instrument panel and monitor/talk on 2-3 radios all while watching out for airborne traffic.

But the pilot is not passing other aircraft and fixed objects where a deviation of 4 feet can be fatal.

But now if you read a map the LEOs will ticket U for 'distracted driving' while following factory a installed GPS is OK.
Also looking at a passenger held GPS or Cellphone is also 'distracted' driving.

They are usually voice command, so don't really need to look at anything. I just follow the voice prompts while driving using my iPhone.

And also we have a retired Sherriff who is in constant communications with the Local Sherriff, SWAT, Highway Patrol, and Task Force. We share info and he can identify all the trespassers by name and addresses, he relays my photos to the Task Force as well to show the issue is still going on but is dying down since last year. A few have been picked up, one even waited here for the police to show as he thought they were going to side with him... Those few haven't been back, there are a few new ones because their gps apparently says its a through street when its not and really, how can they think it is when you have to leave the roadway and walk 250' up a driveway to a house, cut over through a yard another 75-100' then cross a drainage ditch, weasel around a fence or through bushes to get into another yard and back onto a street... its really funny when I go out yelling at them and they scurry along real fast only to be held up trying to get through and away... entertainment at its finest. Last night was a dud tho, a few false alarms with Deer. so either it worked or just a slow night. Ill pull cams to check soon.
