Two cameras are pointing directly at my house and driveway, and they also have three cameras pointing at my neighbour on the other side of their house, and at the neighbour across the road,” the neighbour wrote. “Quite recently they had security cameras installed professionally, seven to be exact. The resident said they had resorted to gardening with an umbrella to protect their privacy in their own yard. One submission was written by an irate neighbour, who did not want to be identified, who said his neighbour had installed seven CCTV cameras, including five pointed directly into neighbouring properties. NSW local member for Lake Macquarie Greg Piper has made a submission to the inquiry on behalf of constituents who had made complaints about neighbours’ CCTV cameras.

I hope one day he gets so angry his head explodes (it often looks like it might ).PEOPLE are using security cameras to spy on their neighbours without fear of punishment because of a legal loophole making authorities powerless to stop them.Ī NSW Parliamentary Inquiry into Serious Invasions of Privacy has received submissions outlining a gap in the law allowing people to point CCTV cameras into neighbours’ yards and windows, as long as the camera is on their own property. He is just a sad old man who gets his kicks from the drama of winding people up. He isn't nearly as rude to DH as he is to me and he's almost polite to my dad (dad is a lawyer though) He just takes pleasure in being vile to others. Through all of this I can count on one hand the amount of times someone has actually parked in front of our house, and it's almost always to drop something off quickly. He's threatened to spray paint cars, and thrown a shovel at my brother's car. He has parked at the top of the street before to stop anyone getting in or out, and he just has zero manners. However, the second anyone parks remotely near our house (not even in front of it) he'll come out swearing and threatening to clamp the cars and call the police etc.

Our street is private land though (our landlords), so nobhead neighbour has right of access, and that's it. Basically, if anyone parks in front of our house, he can't get his behemoth car in or out of his garage. It's all to do with access to his sodding garage.

"they gave a child a gun, they're pikeys" We gave DP neices a nerf gun to play in the garden with. "There were a group of hoodlums outside the house intimidating me", 3 of us were standing and looking at a good friends new car with our backs to her house.ģ.
