Why does he want a camera in a public place? Is this legal for a private citizen to monitor the roads?
I don't know but I don't like it!
Gumpy, I was thinking the same thing.
It may not be legal to put up a camera to video the private citizens.
I have cameras ON MY PROPERTY. to monitor anything coming or going on MY PROPERTY.
I can't imagine putting a camera on public roadway easement .

This guy is a loose cannon anyway he pulled a gun on 3 kids and beat up an 18 year old girl last year. We're about 5 minutes from an episode of Dateline up on Puppet Ridge....
Ya think he would notice ,if a chainsaw ....
Nah never mind..

I'd call the sheriff and ask him to check it out.
Exactly what I was gonna suggest. Then bring out the

Playing devil advocate. The neighbor may have been having some mail problem (mail theft) and so the camera. Now with that being said, I am sorry bout the neighbor being a nut case. I was going to suggest a talk with the neighbor but the episode of pulling a gun on kids is a no-go. I would check into the local laws and see what can be done. I would not like my coming and going recorded. I am not sure but I do think there is a law about taking picture of an individual and posting them on public forums without permission from the individual. You know the neighbors name, check FaceBook and see if he is posting your pictures. Just a suggestion.
Do Not confront this person. If anything happen to his camera rig, you would get blamed. IF it is a postal theft thing, he may be doing you a favor in trying to stop the thieves before they start on your mail box. JM2C

Whose land is that? Is it public property? I wonder if some government agency would come and make him take it down?
I value my privacy. I wouldn't want a camera pointing at any of my business. I also wonder if you could use that camera for target practice?
I have a nosy neighbor who would go stand out in her yard to watch what was going on at my house. I always point to my nose, to indicate she is being nosy. When I was getting a new furnace about 7 years ago, I told my furnace guy that she would come over and ask what he was doing and what it would cost. He looked at me like I was crazy. After he was done, he told me she had done that. He told me he thought I was crazy when I told him that.

I can take the camera down from 100 yards with my Weatherby one shot but they will know exactly who did it.
Im hoping to convince the Postmaster that it's a hazard it doesn't meet the stipulations for a safe mailbox.
He's already pissed off at me, we have fought about his proposed Tree house resort. He started trying to build it without zoning and the county shut it down. I have been a developer my entire life and have to follow the rules he should as well. He won't put in a sewer system and doesn't have a forty foot easement required for a commercial development and expected the other neighbor and I just to give it to him.
Its on the county road right-away.

Why is there a swing.
It's supposed to look like a tree house
I know it is legal to take pictures of anyone on public property. I don't know about video but I expect it too is legal.
What powers the camera? Batteries? Is it wifi? Many things could happen to that fragile tech stuff.
I'm not sure of the legality of building something on public property.

like not like. that's weird. It could at least be a usable swing. Besides the fact it just looks not okay, is probably illegal. Yeah, the guy has problems.
Is it on private property?
What's to stop you from climbing up, and killing it, covering the lens, taking the battery out etc?

If he handled your mailbox and moved it, that alone is not legal, from what I read.
Maybe he's like me just waiting for the UPS truck to deliver a pkg.
There may be no ill intent at all.
Heck, you can even swing while you wait.

I'll play devil's advocate. Do you have a reasonable expectation of privacy when you're on a public road? I argue you do not. (That said, I do object to government using tax dollars to spy on people with countless highway and city cameras, but that's a topic for a different thread.)
If the person has had his mail messed with, then putting up a camera is pretty reasonable. Maybe he/she just wants to know when the mail has been delivered by keeping an eye on the mail truck? Personally, I'd have probably opted for less obvious trail cams rather than that mess.

Sneak, Sneak spray paint lens from behind black or no damage caused by accidentally cover with a large dark bag. :thumbs up: .
I zoomed in on it and it doesn’t look like a camera. Not saying it isn’t but it appears round and more like a sensor than camera. Either way as has been said, Sheriff or even local inspector since it appears in the right of way.
Perhaps so he can see if the mailman has delivered his mail?
Perhaps to rile up the neighborhood?
Perhaps he craves attention?
How is the camera powered?
Hard wired or wireless to the neighbors house (within range)?
Is the camera actually turned on?
I'd go at it as a safety issue. Look at how its built. A kid tries to climb up to that swing is going to get hurt.
That's messed.
Looks like maybe a wi-fi router.
I've been looking at outdoor models, I want to put one on my roof.

Were does the wires go? To the bottom of the stand or higher up. Would be a shame if in the middle of the night some drunk person acidently cut wires.
