She tried, Animal Control said that they wouldn't issue the complaint because it didn't have to do with dogs barking- just "fighting" as she calls it, and a bird making noise doesn't fall under the ordinance. I love this surveillance system, my dogs are in the bedroom asleep and I just recorded...

I did some research on Nevada laws. The 'peeping tom' law requires that the perpetrator be on your property.  The other two are harassment and stalking.  So far she has not introduced any photos of anything, but she did file a complaint which stated that my dogs were 'fighting' inside my house...

Thanks for all the information. If my dog's weren't reasonably quiet I wouldn't have a surveillance camera running 24/7, that would we stupid.  In reviewing the video, they bark 'maybe' 3 times a day usually when they are playing (wrestling) and they emit maybe 2-4 barks at a time. But this...

Here's a link to the complete county code http://www.washoecounty.us/clerks/files/pdfs/county_code/CompleteCode.pdf The thing that makes this weird is that the complainant files a written statement and a log and Animal Control issues a civil penalty based on that and nothing else. They don't...

yes, that's the law. I already got all the complaints she filed, that's how I knew it was her. Two Animal Control Officers told me that barking is only a nuisance if there are 30 barks in a 10 minute period (which has never happened with these dogs) when I did a records request and asked for...

I wrote to the County Commissioners- they are the ones who wrote this law and passed it. I talked to two Animal Control Officers and they were great and very helpful but they said that the way the law is written their hands are tied. If a citizen submits a request for civil penalty they have to...

I could, but I was hoping to avoid that with the video surveillance system

Good idea about the non-government shelters, thanks I will call them.  

I've called a few attorney's and the ones I have talked to won't touch it, they either say they aren't familiar with the ordinance or that it's too hard to defend because of the way the law is written. One of the problems is that this neighbor is supported financially by her millionaire parents...

it's probably not against the law here to dump motor oil out in the street..that's the way it goes here in Neva(duh)

When I first started getting warning letters I went door to door in my neighborhood asking if the dogs were bothering anyone. Everyone said 'no',  I did not go to this woman's house because I thought it was empty (and it still looks that way) There are no cars, no lights are ever turned on and...

The County Commissioners passed this law two years ago, and I am quite sure that they didn't think it through, or they would have realized that if you have a crazy neighbor the law gave them the right to file complaints and civil penalties with no evidence, Animal Control doesn't even have the...

There are no restrictions against recording audio and video on your own property, it's just if you record a conversation and don't tell the other party it's recorded, you can't use that in court.  We plan on moving but we have a house to sell first.  And you're right- we don't know what's next...

The SD card isn't in the camera, it's in the 7" viewer thing. It will be in the house so it shouldn't be too much trouble to pop it out and stick it in my PC, but if I could automate transferring it to my hard drive that would be sweet =)

Part of the problem is that this woman owns 2 acres of land that is directly behind my house, she refuses to thin out the vegetation so it is packed with tumbleweed, pinion pine etc. It is the only lot in the vicinity that is not fire cleared so it has become habitat for deer, coyote and bear...
