Bad Dogs Bad Neighbor

[ROUSTABOUT]

I can tell you how we handle this problem in S Arkansas.

Apparently we have a town constable so I am going to get him involved. And look into the restraining order.

Thanks

You better not. They'll burn your house down.

Now the son 26 years old has been vandalizing our mailbox for a year or more. Leaves used condoms, liquor bottles full of urine and the latest party trick bags of feces. I have him on film and video ...

Human waste is a bio-hazard that puts carriers at risk and I'd imagine the Postal Inspection Service might be interested. If your local postmaster won't pursue it, .....

This. ^^^ The Postal Service is really the first place to contact and have jurisdiction. See what they say before contacting local or state law enforcement.

Not sure what a local lawyer would do or could do, other than sending a letter to cease and desist. Postal Service would be my first contact to see what they say.

This is the direction I would go. Have a surveillance camera or trail cam to catch the neighbor defacing the mailbox or trespassing on your property.

Unless cops see the actual offense happening, most cops and subsequently prosecutors will decline to prosecute. Video evidence needs an experts testimony to validate identity with a 2nd party.

That is why all these cameras everywhere are useless in the court of law.

Regarding the loose dogs, does your county have a leash law? I would think that would be a local issue to solve not the state police.

Bear spray is supposed to work wonders at distracting bears assuming you can by pepper spray in NY.

It seems like the DNA of the stool sample would be somewhat incriminating, although you would need to prove they put it there.

Exactly. Although it should be easier to get satisfaction the bottom line is that if the complainant isn’t serious enough to get a lawyer involved then the police don’t want to get in the middle of feuding neighbors. Trying to “get even” is a recipe for disaster.

What are the county ordances for dog in your area??

They instituted a new set of ordinances about 7 years ago in our area.

It puts the responsibility of a loose animal right on the animals owner. If your dogs aggressive, and on someone elses property, then you can get fined around $1,000. If you have a group of them that you allow to run loose, and only one in the pack is being aggressive, you can be fined for each individual dog in that group if they all belong to you.

My sister in law ran into an issue with the neighbors dogs coming over and being aggressive on her property. Was two of them.

Neighbor didn't give a hoot what there dogs did. Told my sister in law sorry about your luck.

Cops went over and talked to the neighbor. While talking to my sister in law on her property, the dogs came over and started being aggressive again.

Cop talked to the neighbor. Neighbor told the cop to kiss off. Cop got mad and fined them with the max fine per dog. Said he and the other officers were gonna do a regular patrol through the area. If the dogs are off the owners property, they will get more fines.
