My son's school lost him!!! My son is 4 years old and autistic. He just started a new school that was supposed to be better for him with his disabilities. He only attended for 2 days. On the SECOND day while I was waiting for the teacher to bring him to my vehicle, I received a phone call from a police officer saying they had my child. Long story short, my son ended up in the hands of a man who witnesses told police he was pulling my son down the road offering him candy to get him to walk with him. These women called the police after they saw the man take my child to a home that wasn't even his. The school was negligent and didn't even know he was missing. They are investigating how he got away and who was in charge but I want to sue the school because they were in charge of my child and he could have been seriously hurt. I also want to sue the police department because they let the guy go after 2 statements from witnesses. My partner went around where it happened and knocked on doors with ring doorbells. Some of them had footage of the man grabbing/pulling/ dangling candy in his face. Somehow this happened in 2 different cities because my son went missing from one town and was found in a different town. The town he was taken from is going to take over the case because they told me it was handled poorly by the other police department. If anyone has any advice at all I'd be very grateful! Thank you!

OP, first I am \*EXTREMELY\* happy that your son is home safe with you. That is the most important thing in this story. Second, I am a lawyer but not your lawyer. I am also not admitted to practice in Wisconsin. Third, as I posted elsewhere in this thread, it appears that Wisconsin recognizes a civil claim for negligent infliction of emotional distress. You should consult with a good civil litigation attorney who has experience handling these specific claims. You should also consult with a good attorney with experience handling education law claims. You may need 2 separate attorneys to deal with these issues. Fourth, with respect to the police department, unfortunately it does not appear that you have a claim against the department or its officers that you can sue for. That does not mean, however, that you cannot do anything. You can make complaints to the state police and the FBI about the way the investigation was handled. If the department is large enough, you may also want to make a complaint to that department's internal affairs department.

What exactly would you be seeking in damages from either the school or the police?

The one thing I don't see mentioned here is that you may want to consider contacting childcare licensing offices. Preschool classrooms are generally dually overseen by the department of education but also childcare licensing. Licensing takes lost children *very* seriously and this is a huge deal. You can make a complaint to your local agency.

Do everything in writing. So you have a paper trail. Ask for his IEP and give them 5 days to give it to you. Don’t take their calls. Until you speak to an attorney.

Ex’s mom wants my sons SSN for food stamps So my ex’s mom has been harassing me all afternoon and evening about giving her my son’s(7) social security number so her(50s), my ex(28) and his brother (23?) can get food stamps. My ex has our son most weekends. Their entire family has had drug and mental issues and can never keep a job for more than a couple weeks. She says it looks better on the application if there is a child on it. My gut is telling me this is illegal. She doesn’t have any type of custody of him and when my son is with his father they might go over maybe one or twice a month for dinner/ hang out. She’s telling me I’m not helping my son get food but this all feels very fishy to me so I just wanted to make sure I’m in the right here.

Continue to ignore her, you are right this is fraud. She cannot add your son to her food stamps case.
|
This might just be a way for her get your son's SSN to use for identity theft. Who knows how many credit cards she plans to open in his name. Those with legitimate need for access to his number already have it. True or not, tell her his ssn is already or will be on a different application so giving it to her will screw everything up for her application - just to get her off your back.

> My ex has our son most weekends. So you have primary custody. You can't get food stamps for a minor who isn't a member of your household. > Their entire family has had drug and mental issues You don't want to give a child's Social Security Number to a drug addict (or anyone who doesn't have a compelling reason to need it, really). It is unfortunate, but drug addicts resorting to identity theft to feed their addiction is not uncommon. It is a major pain to deal with the ensuing fraud and restore one's credit history following identity theft. Do not give your son's SSN to your ex-mother-in-law.
|
Please don't give it to them. If his father can't feed him, you can send food or approach the court for a change in custody arrangements. But whatever you do, don't give them that information.

My ex has our son most weekends. Their entire family has had drug and mental issues and can never keep a job for more than a couple weeks. She says it looks better on the application if there is a child on it. My gut is telling me this is illegal. She doesn’t have any type of custody of him and when my son is with his father they might go over maybe one or twice a month for dinner/ hang out. She’s telling me I’m not helping my son get food but this all feels very fishy to me so I just wanted to make sure I’m in the right here.

If they qualify for food stamps without him, then they can also get food suppleness from local food banks. They don't need his information for that. If they would only qualify with him included in the household, he would probably only be considered a member of the household if he lives with them for at least 50% of the time. That means a minimum of 14 days, not a weekend here and there. You can always send him to their house with either containers of child sized portions of meals, or boxes/cans of food that they can prepare for him. I wouldn't give him, or them, any cash or cards with value on them. And doing the child sized portions, baggies with snacks and cereal, and other food would make it more difficult for them to sell or trade that to others for cash or other items. I'd also make sure you take pictures of your son, what he's wearing when you drop him off, when you pick him up, and what he takes there, like a backpack with toys and clothes. Make sure any high value items have his name indelibly marked, and that you have the brand name, the serial number, model number, and any other details. Take pictures, time stamped. This is concerning, it sounds like you need to be weighing him and checking for signs of neglect. If they are asking for anything that they can use for their benefit, you might want to be more paranoid than naive. You don't want them to take advantage, and leave him in a bad situation. And never give out his social. If they truly need it, ask for contact information, and talk (meet up physically) to the person that needs the information. Confirm that they are who they say they are, so that (hopefully) the social doesn't get misused.
|
If the child's other parent does not already know his social that in itself is a giant reason why they don't need it.

My son special needs son was video recorded in a school bathroom by a teacher, were his rights violated? NJ, USA My autistic (3M) son was video recorded having a meltdown by his teacher in a bathroom and then shown the video to shame him out of the behavior. I found out what happened because the teacher told me, boasting, that she had shut down a meltdown by showing him the video. The meltdown was due to the demand placed upon him by the teacher to use the toilet. I was sent the video by the teacher. He’s screaming while she says, “If you take your pants down and sit on the potty this wouldn’t be happening.” He has struggled with potty training and now I know why. Since the incident I have reported it to the school, had two IEP meetings and the police have been involved. Reports have been made by all parties involved, the administration called 8 days AFTER the incident. They did not contact child protective services although what happened is child abuse and is causing my son emotional and mental anguish. The teacher is still in the classroom even after administration claimed she broke multiple school policies. He has been pulled from school and will hopefully be attending another school to receive all of his therapies. It’s been almost a month since he’s been in school and it’s been pulling teeth working with the school this happened in. My son was also not allowing himself to urinate or have a bowel movement due to the stress of what happened. He has since gone. Certain self harming behaviors have started happening and his level of frustration tolerance has bottomed. Have my sons rights been violated? If so, should I obtain legal counsel? TL;DR My 3yr old autistic child was video recorded in the bathroom by his teacher. Then shamed with the video into compliance. The school has done nothing. Have his rights been violated?

Call CPS yourself. IEP’s are legally binding. Make sure there are no ambiguous terms within the IEP that might come across as allowing this. If the IEP isn’t followed, lawyer up at that point.
|
Not a lawyer. Have you followed up with the police to see what they have done in respect to the incident? It may be a good place to start. Keep nagging the school and continue pursuing it. Can you also speak with the director/principal of the school? I just want to say sorry your son has been through that. I'm also autistic and have ADHD and my parents would also record me and threatened to put it online to shame me out of my "behaviour". I'd definitely be following up with how they are accommodating your sons needs considering his autism and how equipped the staff is to deal with it.

No. This is explicitly a violation of the LinkedIn User Agreement (emphasis mine): > # 2.2 Your Account > > Members are account holders. You agree to: (1) try to choose a strong and secure password; (2) **keep your password secure and confidential**; (3) not transfer any part of your account (e.g., connections) and (4) follow the law and our list of Dos and Don’ts and Professional Community Policies. And, just in case it wasn't clear enough, LinkedIn summarizes this part of the ToS as: > You will keep your password a secret. > > You will not share an account with anyone else and will follow our rules and the law.

It's legal from them to ask. It's legal for them to fire you if you refuse, normally. It might be different if you have an explicit employment contract. > He said "Yes, they do bro. Every law firm does. We just haven't done it until now." I have no idea how true that is.

My Boss wants us to change our LinkedIn passwords so that he can update our pages for "uniformity and consistency", is this Legal? We are in Texas. "Everyone, Please temporarily change your LinkedIn passord to \*\*\*\*\*\* and send your login username to \*\*\*. He will be updating everyone's LinkedIn for uniformity and consistency purposes. \*\*\* I'll forward you the new photos today along with resumes so you can make the updates. Everyone, after this is done, change your password back to your standard password so that you and only you have access. Thank you." I told him I thought this was an invasion of privacy and that I don't think companies dictate what goes on their employees profiles. He said "Yes, they do bro. Every law firm does. We just haven't done it until now."

No. This is explicitly a violation of the LinkedIn User Agreement (emphasis mine): > # 2.2 Your Account > > Members are account holders. You agree to: (1) try to choose a strong and secure password; (2) **keep your password secure and confidential**; (3) not transfer any part of your account (e.g., connections) and (4) follow the law and our list of Dos and Don’ts and Professional Community Policies. And, just in case it wasn't clear enough, LinkedIn summarizes this part of the ToS as: > You will keep your password a secret. > > You will not share an account with anyone else and will follow our rules and the law.
|
Or just ask for the list of changes and implement them yourself. You can probably be fired for not complying.

We have to give our login/password information to our compliance team if we want to have any information that links us to our current company so any possible client communication can be properly logged and archived. But I work in a fairly heavily regulated field.

It is in violation of the LinkedIn terms of service for you to give out your username and passwords to anyone besides yourself.
|
Several states have laws that prohibit an employer from requesting any social networking account information. Unfortunately Texas is not one of them.

Wife with dementia assaulted in her memory care home by a man with dementia. My wife, who has dementia with Alzheimer’s, wandered into a man’s room in the memory care while she was unattended by the aides. The man who also has dementia got mad and assaulted her by hitting her hard in the face. She has two huge black eyes and bruising down her face. The home did nothing for her but put her to bed, they sent the man out for evaluations. I finally told them I was taking her for a cat scan, showing she has a broken nose and crack in the left jaw. Should I pursue legal action?

NAH In an word, you need to lawyer up and force this issue. At the very least, you need to contact the state, the department that governs nursing facility and file a formal complaint about the nursing facility. This needs to be investigated fully, as to why the staff there were absent at that time frame and not attending to the residents present. They have a disease that makes their sleep patterns off, where they are up at different times.

You need to talk to an attorney literally the second the office opens tomorrow. Get on it fast. You also are probably going to want to file a police report, as said here, but while it's fresh and everyone involved is fresh you need to get moving. You need to get many detailed, time stamped photographs. (Newspapers work, the old fashion way). Record a video of her wounds and if she has any current memories of the incident at all, record them before she cannot recall them anymore. I'm sorry that this happened to her. I hope you can perhaps use this money from this case to get her to some place where they take inter-patient safety more seriously.

Yes, absolutely. Google "Nursing Home Negligence Attorney in \[your location\]."
|
Yes. I worked in senior living management, this is unacceptable. Unfortunately these kinds of incidents do happen, even when facilities are careful about the residents they accept. They can’t provide one-on-one 24/7 supervision to each resident and I’m sure that there is an explanation of this and a risk agreement in the contract that you signed with them. That said, she should have been sent out for medical attention immediately. Head injuries are no joke and it is standard practice that any time a resident hits their head, or is hit in the head, they should be sent to the hospital immediately. What they did is neglect. You should absolutely contact an attorney, your local Ombudsman, and file a complaint with your state’s healthcare licensing agency. I’m so sorry this happened to your wife. I hope that she recovers from her injuries and that you’re still able to enjoy some quality time with her.

Refused to let stranger into my apartment at 2 am, landlord subsequently charging 7k. (TN) I am a woman in my late 20s, living alone in an apartment on the top floor of a small complex. My unit is rather isolated, with only Neighbor A's door on my landing. About two weeks ago, I was woken up by a man pounding on my front door and screaming, "emergency, let me in! This is an emergency!" I looked out my peephole and saw a man about my age, wearing plainclothes and *not carrying tools*. I yelled at him to fuck off and that I was armed. He started rattling my doorknob and yelling that he was maintenance and there was a flood in the building and he had to check out my apartment ASAP. I asked him if he could identify himself in any way. (Company A has always managed the property in the two years I've been here, and their workers have always identified themselves ASAP and been nothing but super professional.) This just pissed him off. He yelled that he was working for Company B, and that I had a "legal obligation" to let him in. I replied that I wouldn't let him in without ID, that I was calling the police to let them sort it out, and that I was still armed. By the time the police arrived, he was gone, and they agreed with me that it was probably a relatively poorly attempted burglary. I made a report with them and thought that was that. A few days later, I got a call from Company B, who, it turns out, had bought the property (I would have thought they'd have to notify tenants of this sort of thing, but apparently no). Moron Burglar apparently WAS their maintenance man, whom they'd sent out to fix a real flood in the building. Apparently they knew it was coming from the upstairs, but not from whose unit, mine or Neighbor A. They told me that because I refused to let their staff mitigate the situation, I was on the hook for the bulk of the repair costs, to the tine of 7k. In the two weeks we've been going back and forth about this, I've maintained that their staff did not identify himself, or do anything to lead me to believe he was anything other than a loud attempted burglar/rapist. They are refusing to acknowledge that and insisting that my lease says nothing about staff identifying themselves, only me letting in workers for emergency maintenance. I mentioned this situation in passing to Neighbor A, whose faulty plumbing was the source of the leak, and who was out of town during the incident. They were confused, because they are currently paying down 100% of the repair costs from the flood. Company B is giving me the option of paying it off in a lump or prorating the 7k among the six months left on my lease. This whole situation is obviously bullshit and honestly seems like some kind of scam. What is going on here? I understand that I have a duty to let workers access my unit in an emergency, but does that really mean I'm required to admit any unidentified stranger at any time, simply taking their word for it that they won't rob/rape/murder me? Can I really be held liable for an emergency that did not emanate from my unit? After Burglar Man left, another maintenance crew came back and broke down Neighbor A's door and eventually stopped the leak (hours later, for some reason). Yes, I could see how my failure to admit Burglar Man momentarily hindered their realization that it was Neighbor A's unit leaking, but it isn't my fault that it took them hours to find another crew to come out once Burglar Man left in a rage. And I'm *especially* confused at them trying to stick me with the same bill they're charging the actual tenant at fault. I've brought up all these points with them, and the response has always just been "fuck you, pay us". They are also telling me how "lucky" I am that Burglar Man isn't "charging" me with menacing, making terroristic threats, and having an unlicensed firearm. (I am fairly positive that saying "I am armed" to someone attempting to access your home at 2 am is not a crime, and I am 100% positive that my gun is legal.) How do I untangle this issue without facing an eviction? If I pay them off in installments (the only option financially), I'm assuming that this will be recognizing the debt as valid and I won't be able to sue to get it back later. Same, I guess, with the lump sum. If I continue to pay my rent as normal, won't they come after me for non-payment of (what they see as full) rent, and then slap me with an eviction case? Is this the point at which I just suck it up and get a lawyer? If so, any ideas on what I should expect? Tl;dr: Unidentified man demands access to my home at 2 am and is declined. Property management company now charging me 7k to pay for damages from a flood that came from another unit, who is also paying 7k for the actual construction. What do?

Yeah, the fact that he left before the police showed up is very bad for them. Your recourse is going to be essentially to pay your rent as normal and tell them to fuck off about anything else. As of now it’s simply a threat, and you won’t *need* to respond until they do anything officially. That said, a prudent response might be to meet with a lawyer now asking to send a letter that basically says “fuck off, you’re insane”, except on legalese.

Refused to let stranger into my apartment at 2 am, landlord subsequently charging 7k. (TN) I am a woman in my late 20s, living alone in an apartment on the top floor of a small complex. My unit is rather isolated, with only Neighbor A's door on my landing. About two weeks ago, I was woken up by a man pounding on my front door and screaming, "emergency, let me in! This is an emergency!" I looked out my peephole and saw a man about my age, wearing plainclothes and *not carrying tools*. I yelled at him to fuck off and that I was armed. He started rattling my doorknob and yelling that he was maintenance and there was a flood in the building and he had to check out my apartment ASAP. I asked him if he could identify himself in any way. (Company A has always managed the property in the two years I've been here, and their workers have always identified themselves ASAP and been nothing but super professional.) This just pissed him off. He yelled that he was working for Company B, and that I had a "legal obligation" to let him in. I replied that I wouldn't let him in without ID, that I was calling the police to let them sort it out, and that I was still armed. By the time the police arrived, he was gone, and they agreed with me that it was probably a relatively poorly attempted burglary. I made a report with them and thought that was that. A few days later, I got a call from Company B, who, it turns out, had bought the property (I would have thought they'd have to notify tenants of this sort of thing, but apparently no). Moron Burglar apparently WAS their maintenance man, whom they'd sent out to fix a real flood in the building. Apparently they knew it was coming from the upstairs, but not from whose unit, mine or Neighbor A. They told me that because I refused to let their staff mitigate the situation, I was on the hook for the bulk of the repair costs, to the tine of 7k. In the two weeks we've been going back and forth about this, I've maintained that their staff did not identify himself, or do anything to lead me to believe he was anything other than a loud attempted burglar/rapist. They are refusing to acknowledge that and insisting that my lease says nothing about staff identifying themselves, only me letting in workers for emergency maintenance. I mentioned this situation in passing to Neighbor A, whose faulty plumbing was the source of the leak, and who was out of town during the incident. They were confused, because they are currently paying down 100% of the repair costs from the flood. Company B is giving me the option of paying it off in a lump or prorating the 7k among the six months left on my lease. This whole situation is obviously bullshit and honestly seems like some kind of scam. What is going on here? I understand that I have a duty to let workers access my unit in an emergency, but does that really mean I'm required to admit any unidentified stranger at any time, simply taking their word for it that they won't rob/rape/murder me? Can I really be held liable for an emergency that did not emanate from my unit? After Burglar Man left, another maintenance crew came back and broke down Neighbor A's door and eventually stopped the leak (hours later, for some reason). Yes, I could see how my failure to admit Burglar Man momentarily hindered their realization that it was Neighbor A's unit leaking, but it isn't my fault that it took them hours to find another crew to come out once Burglar Man left in a rage. And I'm *especially* confused at them trying to stick me with the same bill they're charging the actual tenant at fault. I've brought up all these points with them, and the response has always just been "fuck you, pay us". They are also telling me how "lucky" I am that Burglar Man isn't "charging" me with menacing, making terroristic threats, and having an unlicensed firearm. (I am fairly positive that saying "I am armed" to someone attempting to access your home at 2 am is not a crime, and I am 100% positive that my gun is legal.) How do I untangle this issue without facing an eviction? If I pay them off in installments (the only option financially), I'm assuming that this will be recognizing the debt as valid and I won't be able to sue to get it back later. Same, I guess, with the lump sum. If I continue to pay my rent as normal, won't they come after me for non-payment of (what they see as full) rent, and then slap me with an eviction case? Is this the point at which I just suck it up and get a lawyer? If so, any ideas on what I should expect? Tl;dr: Unidentified man demands access to my home at 2 am and is declined. Property management company now charging me 7k to pay for damages from a flood that came from another unit, who is also paying 7k for the actual construction. What do?

you are not liable for damages here, the flood wasn't even in your unit, and you have no obligation to open the door to some random person at 2am, who yells and refuses to provide ID, especially as a young woman living alone it is a failure of the property management firm to not have provided the maintenance guy a key, to have failed to notify you of the management change, and to have not called / emailed / texted you or sent a representative in person to explain the situation plus, the f-ing morons should have just turned off the main water valve and dealt with it in the morning continue to pay them your rent as usual, tell them that you are not liable for their gross incompetence in managing the property, and that you look forward to seeing them in court are you on an annual or month-to-month lease?

I am a landlord. I own property. I have property insurance. My deductible is $1k. I cannot imaging these guys don't also have insurance. It covers - as I have experienced - all sorts of water leaks, floods, and equipment failures. Unless you purposely damaged the property, which you didn't, it's not even your issue. They cannot collect funds from the tenant for an equipment failure. This is ALL on them. You should not pay them a dime. Continue to pay your rent in a timely manner. Stop talking to them (if you are doing so) and notify them that all further correspondence must be done in writing. Not email, writing - mail - USPS. If you have to send them anything, send it Certified, return receipt. They don't have a case. Let them try to collect, and either have a lawyer write a cease and desist, or go to court and have the judge hammer them. This is soooo not reasonable. Side note - I live in a state that allows guns, and he is lucky he did not get shot. If he had broken in, you would have been totally within your rights to open fire.

My best friend is preparing to leave an extremely abusive relationship and has asked me to hold a bank account for her where she sends money to put aside for her until she's safe to leave. How do I support her and also cover myself? This is Ontario, Canada. My best friend is preparing to leave an extremely abusive relationship. She has two children and is given a very tight allowance in necessity alone. She has asked me to hold a bank account for her where she sends me small portions of money to put aside for her until she's safe to leave. How do I support her and also cover myself? She is 36F and has a toddler under 2 and a stepson at 8. The stepson is joint custody (week on/week off) with the mother. They've been together 7 years. She had always been gainfully employed until pandemic struck. Her partner has become addicted to drugs and alcohol and has become extremely abusive over the last few months, physically and emotionally. He has changed the locks on their home, is withholding money. She needs to wait at the grocery checkout with a picture of the bill before he transfers the money. She is planning her escape and has contacted social assistance, lawyers, applying for jobs, and support systems, but the bureaucracy is slow moving. There's an 8 week wait for a women's shelter and social assistance will give her $380/month. She needs to prove she's paying rent to get that up to$600, which she can't prove because she's trapped, and even if she could, it's not enough. The rent and cost of living in our area is INSANE, about $1800 for a Bachelor, let alone a two bedroom to support her and her toddler. She has asked me to open a bank account in my name, where she sends me money when she gets it and I hold it for her and send it when she needs it. This is truly an incredible and resilient woman and I will give the shirt off my back for her, she helped me so much when I went through the hardest period of my life. I want to help her, but I want to do it the right way where we are both protected. I know this is a bit of an ugly situation but this woman needs help, legitimately. How can I help her financially and are there other resources where she can get assistance? TL;DR friend is planning escape from abusive relationship and needs me to hold money for her and assistance with getting in her feet.

You're friend should open an account in her own name using your address or the Canadian PO Box equivalent. Or just give you cash to hold onto. Opening an account in your name that she deposits into will be a mess.

It's great that you want to help your friend, but I suggest you do not do this. It's very possible that what you are proposing could trip a fraud detection algorithm. This could do things like cause problems with you having access to your own funds (if all of your assets get frozen while the bank is doing its investigation) or cause CRA to audit you. If they don't believe your story, it could result in you having to pay income tax on your friend's deposits. You and I know you're just helping a friend, but the question is whether an investigator working for the other side is going to believe that. There is no reason why she could not open her own bank account. She should do so at a financial institution that her partner does not use, and use an address that isn't her partner's, so that statements and whatnot won't accidentally be sent to him. Until your friend has a permanent place to stay, it may be helpful for her to have a PO Box. If you're able, perhaps you could offer to pay for it for her.

Unless it specifically says so in your lease, you do not have to do anything to facilitate anything the landlord wants to do in or with the property, other than open the door if he has given proper notice for entry.
|
Does your lease say anything relevant?

[AZ] What the hell am I actually supposed to do if someone tries to pay with fake money? So this post might not be as dramatic or serious as some of the others but I still want to ask because the answer isn't too clear on google. Today some fucker tried to pay me with the goofiest goddamn $100 bill I've ever seen in my life, it felt like construction paper, the ink was all fucked up, watermark looked like a fucking 8 year old drew it from memory, I don't even think it was cut the right size. Anyway I called him out and he got defensive and played dumb like expected, saying he just got it from the bank and asked me to test it with those counterfeit marker things, which we didn't have for some reason. I just told him we were told not to accept the old $100 bill design (which is the truth), and this dumb motherfucker proceeded to pull out a wallet FULL OF 20s 10s AND 5s WHICH WOULD HAVE DONE A SIGNIFICANTLY BETTER JOB AT PAYING FOR HIS SANDWICH. Anyways the reason I'm asking for advice here is because I just let him walk out with his monopoly money and sandwich (yes I checked, the 20 was real). Am I allowed to keep a counterfeit bill should this happen in the future? How should I have gone about this?

One hint from a former cashier: All bills have "ridges" on the shirts of the portraits. If you rub your fingers against the grain of the shirt you will feel them. It's one of the hardest things to counterfeit and it lets you check bills without the customer even knowing once you get it down. If you dont feel it that's when you pull out the pen. Saved my ass more than once, gas stations get hit a lot. Also if someone demands the pen don't be afraid to draw a big fucking line across the whole thing. Makes it easier for the next guy. I've gone so far as to pretend I couldn't tell from the first stripe and made a second one that just so happened to make a giant 'X' across the whole thing. But yeah...you're not the cops. Don't fuck with criminals for minimum wage. If you have cameras, save the recording and call the non emergency line so they can at least get the dudes picture.

Idk about AZ, but here you're supposed to confiscate it and you could alert authorities if you want to but you don't have to

Landlord entered my girlfriends house unannounced and then went to berate Her at work. So my gf rents from this guy and she also receives housing assistance. His rules are that she pay her portion in cash, and wait for him to come collect it. In my opinion this is is the first thing that is wrong. The second is that he doesn't answer his phone, never gives notice of when he's coming, and sometimes takes weeks after the rent is due to collect it, forcing her to sit at her house and wait for him with hundreds of dollars of cash on the table. He shows up at other times as well, pretty much whenever he wants. To get something from the shed, or to tell her he's food to clean it out, only to never do it. So the other day, she was at work, and I was over doing our dishes from the night before. I live about two towns over and we do these things for each other sometimes, since we're also planning on moving in together in a new place once her lease is up in February. So I'm listening to some tunes, finishing up, and I hear a knock at the door. Now I've never seen this man, so being that it's not my house, I chose not to answer, figuring it can wait, whatever it is. I hear him yell "hello, hello" really angrily. Then he yells her son's name. And knocks about 3 more separate times. By this point, I'm kind of worded out so I stay in the kitchen and wait for him to go away. But that didn't happen. I look up and he's right next to me, staring me down. "who are you", he asked. "I'm Schwillet, the boyfriend". "why didn't you answer the door?" "I don't know guess I got kinda worded out" "well isn't answering the door something a normal person would do?" Now I'm in shock. I don't know who this man is, what he wants, and he's not a small man by any means, he's very intimidating. "I don't know who you are, I'm still kind of creeped out". Without another word he turns and leaves, going to the back yard to get something, of what I'm not sure, gets in his truck and leaves. I text her, telling her to call me, 15 minutes later, she texts back and said he came to her work. He asked her if I lived there, told her he will kick her out if I do, asked who I am, what my name is, has she done a background check on me, does she leave me alone there with the kids, why don't I drive, and said I should have been cleaning instead of cooking. Again, I was actually doing dishes. On top of all this tells her that I'm lucky he wasn't carrying his gun that particular day because he would have shot me. Apparently he also told her that I opened the door for him, so I know he's not above lying at this point. This time, she got a money order like I told her to, and he came by today a week after rent is due, again unannounced, even after she tried to call and drop a hint that she would be in and out today and that she would prefer a call. But his voice mail is full so leaving one is out of the question. When she tried explaining that to him upon his arrival, he said "ill check my phone". Upon receiving the money order instead of cash he says "I thought we trusted each other". Lol. Anyway, needless to say, we feel pretty terrorized. She's there for another few months, but who do we complain to? Should we call the police? I suggested making a report about what happened when I was there but I let it go. We're quiet, respectful, non combative, and just wanna love our life without being threatened or harassed, and would like a notice about when he's coming. I'd like it if we could avoid all future contact with this psychopath completely but I know that probably isn't possible. I will say we do live in Ohio, and from I understand a landlord is required by law to give 24 hours notice. My landlord does this literally every single time, a lot of times days in advance. I transfer money to him through my bank as well. So that’s about it I think. She just texted me and said he called her so if anything comes up that looks like it might be relevant I’ll post that here as well. Any advice is really appreciated. Thanks for reading.

She collects Housing Assistance? She should talk to the agency who issues her assistance. They are going to have rules and standards, and they are *not* going to be happy about ‘few scribbled words’ lease, and even less happy about a cash payment scheme.

The second is that he doesn't answer his phone, never gives notice of when he's coming, and sometimes takes weeks after the rent is due to collect it, forcing her to sit at her house and wait for him with hundreds of dollars of cash on the table. He shows up at other times as well, pretty much whenever he wants. To get something from the shed, or to tell her he's food to clean it out, only to never do it. So the other day, she was at work, and I was over doing our dishes from the night before. I live about two towns over and we do these things for each other sometimes, since we're also planning on moving in together in a new place once her lease is up in February. So I'm listening to some tunes, finishing up, and I hear a knock at the door. Now I've never seen this man, so being that it's not my house, I chose not to answer, figuring it can wait, whatever it is. I hear him yell "hello, hello" really angrily. Then he yells her son's name. And knocks about 3 more separate times. By this point, I'm kind of worded out so I stay in the kitchen and wait for him to go away. But that didn't happen. I look up and he's right next to me, staring me down. "who are you", he asked. "I'm Schwillet, the boyfriend". "why didn't you answer the door?" "I don't know guess I got kinda worded out" "well isn't answering the door something a normal person would do?" Now I'm in shock. I don't know who this man is, what he wants, and he's not a small man by any means, he's very intimidating. "I don't know who you are, I'm still kind of creeped out". Without another word he turns and leaves, going to the back yard to get something, of what I'm not sure, gets in his truck and leaves. I text her, telling her to call me, 15 minutes later, she texts back and said he came to her work. He asked her if I lived there, told her he will kick her out if I do, asked who I am, what my name is, has she done a background check on me, does she leave me alone there with the kids, why don't I drive, and said I should have been cleaning instead of cooking. Again, I was actually doing dishes. On top of all this tells her that I'm lucky he wasn't carrying his gun that particular day because he would have shot me. Apparently he also told her that I opened the door for him, so I know he's not above lying at this point. This time, she got a money order like I told her to, and he came by today a week after rent is due, again unannounced, even after she tried to call and drop a hint that she would be in and out today and that she would prefer a call. But his voice mail is full so leaving one is out of the question. When she tried explaining that to him upon his arrival, he said "ill check my phone". Upon receiving the money order instead of cash he says "I thought we trusted each other". Lol. Anyway, needless to say, we feel pretty terrorized. She's there for another few months, but who do we complain to? Should we call the police? I suggested making a report about what happened when I was there but I let it go. We're quiet, respectful, non combative, and just wanna love our life without being threatened or harassed, and would like a notice about when he's coming. I'd like it if we could avoid all future contact with this psychopath completely but I know that probably isn't possible. I will say we do live in Ohio, and from I understand a landlord is required by law to give 24 hours notice. My landlord does this literally every single time, a lot of times days in advance. I transfer money to him through my bank as well. So that’s about it I think. She just texted me and said he called her so if anything comes up that looks like it might be relevant I’ll post that here as well. Any advice is really appreciated. Thanks for reading.

There are so many illegal things going on here idk where to start. Police, HUD, Fair Housing authorities, and whichever agency is providing her assistance can all help you figure out what to do next. I get that you don't want to deal with confrontation with this unstable fuck and it sounds like she's just kinda running out her lease for now. But if you don't say something, he'll get a blank check to keep acting like that with all his future tenants until he gets what's coming to him legally.

[VA] Neighbors keep flying their drone over my property. I own a small farm (about 100 acres). Recently the neighbors bought a drone/RC helicopter and have been flying it over my property. I don't really mind them flying it over my fields, but they've started to fly it over my home. The drone is equipped with a GoPro camera, I know because they fly it low enough that I can see it hanging off the bottom of it. I have asked them to stop flying it over my house but they refuse. My questions: 1) Do I legally own the airspace directly above my home? 2) Would I get in trouble if I shot at it? Thanks for your time.

Look, all the lawyers here are really risk averse. I'm not going to weigh in on whether or not it is legal to shoot a trespassing spy drone. I will, however, start a discussion on the best way to shoot it down once you decide it is legal to do so. I going to guess that as a bird hunter, you use a 12-gauge with interchangeable chokes. I think that's a great choice for this application. Let's start with ammo. Are you where any shot might fall into bodies of water? If so the responsible thing to do is use lead-free shot, because it can be ingested by waterfowl. If not, lead oxide forms a great barrier that will keep your shot from contaminating the environment. For your application, I think a shell of No. 4 lead birdshot would be ideal, or No.2 steel. You get enough penetration to cause decent amounts of damage, but they won't fly off your property. For choke selection, you probably want an improved-modified, or a full choke. I don't think you need a turkey choke because at the height you described he is flying, you should still have a dense enough pattern with the full. Modified might be just a little light to cause enough damage. Of course, this all changes a little if you have a 12-gauge shotgun that can safely shoot 3-1/2" magnum shells. With the larger shot load of those shells, I would definitely go with the modified or even the improved-cylinder just to get the larger pattern. Good luck!

You might consider asking over on one of the subs dedicated to this activity: /r/fpv /r/multicopter /r/radiocontrol Hopefully you will be able to find some responsible users who can advise you on whether there is any reason your neighbors can't do this. You should also be aware that the regulation of where you can and can't fly your drone is currently a hot topic, with some back-and-forth battles between the FAA and the drone-flying community. Your neighbors' crap attitude about "right to the skies" might be a byproduct of that (not to justify, just to provide some insight into where their stubbornness might be coming from). Here is an overview of the current legislative situation regarding regulation of drone usage.

Have you heard about No Fly Zone? It is not guaranteed to work because only certain drone manufacturers opt in to this, but it's a good first start and doesn't involve a potential firearms arrest.

You could find out who manufacturers the drone and what frequencies it uses, and attempt to jam it by broadcasting that frequency at a very high power level. The FCC may frown upon that, however, and there may be onboard logic to navigate it back home in this event..

If you can fire guns on your property legally. I say take the damn thing out. I live out in the country and am able to safely (legally) discharge a firearm. I guess you could be responsible for the property damage though. Personally, I have kids. I'll shoot a camera out of the sky and ask questions later. How do I know it's not a pedo?

[VA] Neighbors keep flying their drone over my property. I own a small farm (about 100 acres). Recently the neighbors bought a drone/RC helicopter and have been flying it over my property. I don't really mind them flying it over my fields, but they've started to fly it over my home. The drone is equipped with a GoPro camera, I know because they fly it low enough that I can see it hanging off the bottom of it. I have asked them to stop flying it over my house but they refuse. My questions: 1) Do I legally own the airspace directly above my home? 2) Would I get in trouble if I shot at it? Thanks for your time.

Google "paintball sentry gun". Aim it at sky. Enjoy the ensuing carnage. Consider camouflaging it so they can't determine where the shots are coming from

Have you tried calling the police? I'm not a lawyer, but it seems to me that this is an invasion of privacy.

It would be a shame if when they were flying their quad copter over your property you were testing out your fancy new net gun/ bolo launcher/model rockets/roman candles and it accidentally managed to get in the way. Do peeping tom or wiretapping laws have any effect here?

If you can fire guns on your property legally. I say take the damn thing out. I live out in the country and am able to safely (legally) discharge a firearm. I guess you could be responsible for the property damage though. Personally, I have kids. I'll shoot a camera out of the sky and ask questions later. How do I know it's not a pedo?

UPDATE (San Diego) Can I be sued for knocking down a drone flying in my yard and then erasing its memory card? I know this sub likes updates, so here is mine. It doesn't have a lot of legal stuff though. I hope that is okay. There was a lot of behind the scenes activity. One of my neighbors contacted the HOA Secretary to get the contact information of the member from that house since she was pretty sure that the guy was not the legal owner. The owners are his step-grandparents and basically don't live there 11 months out of the year (they are RV'ers and drive around visiting places and their kids and grandkids) and they let their step-grandson (daughter's stepson) live there for free. I called them and they were very sweet people and absolutely shocked at what he was doing. I told them what he was doing with his drone and what happened in my yard and what was on the videos from the memory card. I also told them that he was doing the same thing for a few of the other neighbors and gave them the names that I knew of. The next day, they called me back and sincerely apologized for what he was doing and assured me that he would never be doing that again and that they were no longer allowing him to live there. Evidently, they don't know him terribly well, nor do they really like him, but they were doing this as a favor to their daughter. I saw him moving stuff into a U-haul truck this weekend. As I walked by, he said that he was going to sue me for thousands of dollars because of the damage to his drone and then started cursing at me loudly. I had privately decided to pay for his drone damage when approached, but I think now I will make him sue me in court and make him admit to the judge that he was taking peeping tom videos with his drone. I suspect he will not sue me. If he does, I will get the attorney we used before when we were sued for a "slip and fall" on our driveway to defend me.

Well, here's a sentence I never thought I'd say. Thank goodness for the HOA. You kinda got ripped a new one here last time, because yes it's bad to break someone else's toy. I think you behaved quite reasonably though, returning the drone and not intentionally damaging it. Good luck to him arguing monetary damages from lost images of undressed minors.

As of late February 2016 all drone operators had to be federally certified (really just an online application and an ID number). The ID number has to be printed on the drone. It may be a way to get him into trouble, if he didn't/doesn't have the certification and ID number on the drone, because then he has, I believe, broken a federal law.

Serious question: back when I was growing up, there was a house on our block that had a cranky old man who would refuse to return a ball or a Frisbee that passed over his fence and landed in his yard. We lost several of each over the course of a few years. How is that substantially different from disabling a drone in the airspace over your yard? Or was the cranky old man actually in the wrong and no one ever bothered to call him out?

Heads up man .. you probably dont want to knock down the next drone... http://www.engadget.com/2016/04/18/faa-says-shooting-down-drones-is-a-federal-crime/ call the cops and treat as a human peeping tom. "downing" a drone despite not shooting it might run afoul. despite his illegal activities, you probably dont want to commit your own.

UPDATE (San Diego) Can I be sued for knocking down a drone flying in my yard and then erasing its memory card? I know this sub likes updates, so here is mine. It doesn't have a lot of legal stuff though. I hope that is okay. There was a lot of behind the scenes activity. One of my neighbors contacted the HOA Secretary to get the contact information of the member from that house since she was pretty sure that the guy was not the legal owner. The owners are his step-grandparents and basically don't live there 11 months out of the year (they are RV'ers and drive around visiting places and their kids and grandkids) and they let their step-grandson (daughter's stepson) live there for free. I called them and they were very sweet people and absolutely shocked at what he was doing. I told them what he was doing with his drone and what happened in my yard and what was on the videos from the memory card. I also told them that he was doing the same thing for a few of the other neighbors and gave them the names that I knew of. The next day, they called me back and sincerely apologized for what he was doing and assured me that he would never be doing that again and that they were no longer allowing him to live there. Evidently, they don't know him terribly well, nor do they really like him, but they were doing this as a favor to their daughter. I saw him moving stuff into a U-haul truck this weekend. As I walked by, he said that he was going to sue me for thousands of dollars because of the damage to his drone and then started cursing at me loudly. I had privately decided to pay for his drone damage when approached, but I think now I will make him sue me in court and make him admit to the judge that he was taking peeping tom videos with his drone. I suspect he will not sue me. If he does, I will get the attorney we used before when we were sued for a "slip and fall" on our driveway to defend me.

Heads up man .. you probably dont want to knock down the next drone... http://www.engadget.com/2016/04/18/faa-says-shooting-down-drones-is-a-federal-crime/ call the cops and treat as a human peeping tom. "downing" a drone despite not shooting it might run afoul. despite his illegal activities, you probably dont want to commit your own.

I'd like to add a question to the community: Can I shoot a drone down in my backyard? No reason like OP, but just because? Just a theory question. I don't really want to do this.

Don't forget to let your homeowners insurance know. It is possible they would provide a defense if you do get sued. Feel like I say this almost every single thread.

[PA] Neighbor keeps flying drones on my property Side note: I have never been in good terms with this neighbor So the past 2 days my neighbor has been flying drones. I know he collects them, I don't really have a problem until he purposely started to chase my kids with it. Hell he even chased me. He has 8 drones. We couldn't go outside at all. What can we do? If it helps, my two other neighbors seen us get chased.

In addition to calling the police, I recommend you submit a complaint to the FAA. If the drones are above a certain size, they have to be registered, and the owners have to comply with strict flying regulations.

Camera for proof, although testimony from neighbours may suffice. Although we tend to hate them here, this is exactly what a HOA can fix for you, if there's one in place. Escalate to police and FAA. The more people you can get breathing down his neck, the more chance of success.

In rural Oregon there are signs posted "We shoot drones". Not sure of the legal ramifications, but it would seem that drone flyers have been put on notice.
|
Have you tried asking him not to do that?

What you can't do: * Don't shoot the drones. * Don't shoot the neighbor. What you should do: * Document, document, document. Film his drones, have a written log of when it happens and what he did each time. In other words, make the police's job easier for them. * Call the police.

I have to ask; When you talked to your neighbor about it, what did he say?
