Background -We've had a parking issues in the neighborhood (not alot of parking spaces). Some neighbors block street parking with 1 vehicle taking 2 spots. Has become an issue over the years. Recently (about 2-3 months ago) we moved a small pop up camper into a parking spot on public street after clearing it was ok with police dept. Neighbor approached my husband a couple weeks ago saying we need to move it because his wife can't see backing out of driveway. Husband explained nothing we can do and we had cleared it with police already and it was legal. Note that a license plate on vehicle was the one we had on when we bought it and we had transfered that into our name - police were called about 2 months ago of abandoned camper (mine) and they notified me of this problem and we got a new tag/registration but wasn't on at time of this incident yet since we just received the new registration recently)
What happened - This past Saturday the neighbor came over to my home. Knocked on door, my husband wasn't home at time. Neighbor says to be 'listen i know you have problem with neighbor but I need you to move the camper' i said 'i've already cleared the vehicle with police.' he said i need you to move it' i said ' i am not moving it'. Neighbor started getting very angry and called me a f'n 'b' and said 'you NEED to move it or I will get you' 'i will have it towed' and repeated the f'n 'b' remarks several times. At this time he was spitting from his mouth so much, the saliva was pouring out of his mouth (GROSS).
I told him I was going to call police -he said 'go ahead - i know people, i'll call them too.'
I called, police came (3 officers). They spoke to him and his wife for approx. 15 min. before even coming to my door. When officer came, I was obviouslly very upset at what happened. He told me that he just found out different that camper should be inspected (shouldn't be b/c it's under 3000 lbs) and that I should 'just move it', that the neighbor was just upset about his wife not being able to back out of driveway safely saying my camper was blocking view of street, and the 'I'm going to get you' and 'i will have it towed' were not considered threats. To be a threat, he'd need to be waving a baseball bat or a gun/knife at me.
I disagree with this. I told officer so. Told officer I was scared of neighbor threat. Nothing done.
Officer ended conversation saying my husband shouldn't go there (to neighbors or he'd be in trouble when he returned) and that he'd tell my neighbor not to come on my property.
My husband called officer when he got home and call was returned on Sunday - officer again saying it was not a threat and I am lucky he didn't give me a ticket for not having the new plate on already and still having old on one.
NOW - I am very upset by this. I was alone with a child in my home when this happened who witnessed this mans violence and profanity and threats and is now very scarred too. I don't know what to do.
Someone - HELP!
actually, I am not violating the law. The camper is under 3000 lbs. Our local juridiction says over 3000 lbs. If you missed it, I had consulted with the police before placing my vehicle there.
Until you move the camper, you'll continue to have difficulties.
You don't seem all that scared and scarred today.
All I did was try and offer you some legal advice, tempered with common sense.
Since you dismiss it, I have no problem with what you do.
You don't reside in my neighborhood.
So, keep pushing it.
You won't like how this movie ends!
But, keep pushing.
Bottom line, the neighbor didn't break the law.
How can you say I am not affected or not scared by this? I think you are not accurate on what you are stating. Please let me know where you got the info on I am violating local law please. I'd like to look it up. You are right - no one wants to admit when they are wrong, BUT if I am, I will move it. I may not like it - but if it is illegal, I will move it.
If I thought this was a safety issue, I would agree. I think they just don't want my camper there. If she feels she can't safely back up onto the street then -- She could back in, park one of their trucks in the driveway and park her car on the road - those would both reduce the issue on her end.
This isn't about trying to hurt someones feelings or produce a safety issue.
Sometimes, things can't be done to make everyone happy. If I move it, they are happy but I am left with nowhere to put my camper, which makes me unhappy. I don't see a winner in either case.
