A question for our LEO's

Permanently deleted user
This relates to the raceing problem with my nieghbors.

If I am out on my property shooting video of this going on. I will not step foot off my property.

But with the history of things allready getting physical I am thinking of precautions.

Would it be considered a threat if I am recording video of this while wearing a side arm?

I would in no way reach for it (unless of course they came at me with a weapon of some sort) or anything like that. I would carry this in the open as a deturant to keep things from getting physical again as these are the type of people who would get that way when they know I am shooting video.

I also know for a fact that open carry IS legal while on my property.

I just do not want to take any chances that this might be considered a threat on my part by doing this.

    so basically you want them to see you video taping so they would get the message your on there azz correct? but want to cya on legality of video taping?

    you want to have a firearm handy in case the video taping drives them into a rage?

    imo you have two options
    1. home movies of the kids are great, we sometimes cannot control what happens in the back ground

    2. set up a home video surveillance system and aim it strategically at your truck you are concerned about{[;)]}, wal mart sells a pretty good system under 100 bucks, you can get b/w for under 50


    do not bring open firearms into the situation, quit talking about it here, you have a ccw use it, and keep it concealed until you positively have to take someones life, in the event you do, this very thread may be used against you

    Just why the hell would you stand out in the open with a camera and gun on your hip except to provoke trouble?

    It sounds to me like you need to determine if you want to win or just blow steam. If your true goal is to provoke and continue the feud then by all means strap on 4 pistols plus carry a rifle and record away standing out in the yard in full view of all.

    If your intent is to be a good role model for your kids then get smart. Put the recorder in a window or even a hole in the wall to record the antics. If you put sticks in your front yard 25-50 feet apart at regular intervals they can determine speed from a recording. Rig it up so they don't even know a camera is there. Sooner or later they will do stupid as stupid people always do.

    One can never be too cautious.
    Always have a "backdoor" handy.
    I too am always ready even in those
    states that don't allow "tools".

    Nunn gave good advise. Also you should take steps to be sure your children are supervised and safe. If it is possible get a video camera set up like the game cam that was on this forum some time back, that would be a plus as it will function 24/7 with out a lot of attention. If possible hide the camera and let the neighbor be himself. Save the footage so you give the guy enough rope to figuratively hang himself. Contact neighbors that have had problems with him and comment on how the property values would increase if they were gone. If the people you have had problems with have also had drug problems mention that to the neighbors and also how first one druggie moves into the neighborhood then others follow and make it a hell hole. Some states have laws that allow neighbors to sue the landlord if their tenants illegal activities harm those neighbors. If yours does then notify the landlord that you have had problems with his tenants. The landlord may evict the tenant rather than take a chance on being sued later.

    Well SC is not Cal. As a Landlord of this state what you are describing is bogus here. Their Landlord would have to have knowledge of illegal activity. How would the Landlord Know? Landlord is NOT responsible for any behavior of the Tenants OFF or ON the premise they rent. I can't be sued just because a Tenant of mine would run over someones Dog out on the highway. If a Tenant were to strangle a visitor Landlord holds no liability. In fact the Landlord must be carefull upon eviction of a Tenant. If rent is paid and no notice from Landlord is given to renue the agreement the Tenant can sue the Landlord.

    I have been a landlord also. I can understand your view on that type of law and also know it would be possible for it to get out of hand. I understand that as it stands now it does not ambush the landlord but could involve him if he was notified of a serious problem. A example would be a triple convicted sex offender renting a house next door to a elementry school. Solution, landlord starts eviction of ex child molester and is in the clear. The legal athorities would be doing the same type action at the same time anyways. If a tenant ran over a dog on the highway or strangled someone the landlord would not be in any way responsible.

    So far there was a fist fight and a little kid almost getting run over. It was worth a mention. Mabe the landlord does not approve of running over little kids and will evict them any way. You never know. They may be slow pay and behind in their rent anyway.

    i think the game cam is a great idea mentioned earlier is great, but actually use a game cam. I have a Moultrie 2.1mp that also takes video....buy a game cam, strap it to the front seat of your bronco and record whatever video evidence you need....no guns, no confrontation, no problems!!. After you have the evidence you want, you have a fine game watching contraption that you will use for years.

    here is a link of a tom turkey video my game cam recorded.
