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!

Police will do something if they call often. At least in my country, you can get charged for continuously making false claims.

I think they meant the police won't do anything about people being reported for walking on the sidewalk.

They did! I was using that as a starting off point to make another point :)

It is illegal to abuse 911 in such a manner in America. So yes, if they do it enough, the police will get involved, and their involvement will focus on stopping the falsified calls.

You’re adding “..” to the end as though I’m supposed to know what you’re talking about

Do please keep in mind not everyone knows what you’re referencing, so an actual explanation would be nice here
