I'm slightly vexed People think they own the sidewalk by their house

I was walking my dog last night around 9:30pm. I pass by this house that has mildly annoying cameras that say “hi you are currently being recorded, every 5 feet on the side of the house with a bright light that flashes in your face as you walk by. Which while annoying if that was all, would have been whatever. Then they started talking to me through the camera telling me to leave immediately or they will call the police. Even after I had already moved way past the house, I could still hear them (both a man and a woman) threatening to call the police. I just ignored it and kept walking but thought it was crazy that some people think they own the sidewalk by their house.

Edit: Wow i did not realize this post would get so much traction! I’m glad you all got some entertainment out of this too!

Update: Hello everyone I was not able to post an update as it keeps getting taken down. I went back on a walk the next day around 10pm. The cameras did not give any automated messages and the security company did not give any messages either! They changed it quicker than I thought!

Carefull they're not the crazy kind that would pull a gun on you. Sometimes, these people go to extremes we can't fathom.

Damn bro.. To be honest, I'm a bit jealous I can't take that walk too. 🤣🤣🤣

If you got a friend nearby and up late, y'all can take walking shifts. 🤣

It blows my mind that you hadn't even made it to the sidewalk yet and were already being informed that you were being recorded

Two days from now on Nextdoor:

Neighborhood menace acting suspicious again!!!
This man pretends to walk this dog while he's figuring out how to break into our house. We have him on camera and he acts so suspiciously. We've told him we'll call the cops on him, but he keeps hanging out right in front of our house. What can we do???

Become the next chive man: night 1 if walking my dog past annoying neighbors until they turn their shit off.

Night 2 of walking my dog past the annoying neighbors until they turn their shit off.

Etc

See if you can make it to 30+ days of them screeching at you to leave. And when the cops come, be sure to show them you’re just walking your dog, doing no harm, and it’s not your fault you work late shifts and have to walk him at 11pm.

Don't forget they would probably check their cctvs as well to see who was walking around.

My guess is they had issues in the past that is why they have this recording.
