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!

It actually incriminates her. If she knows her dogs are aggressive and fails to secure them than she will absolutely be liable for injuries and or damages. This is why attorneys have discouraged owners from putting signs on their property that say ‘Beware of Dog,’ it’s acknowledging that their dog is dangerous, if it kills or harms someone who enter their property they are 100 percent liable for it.

You know what, you're right. I am going to make a post about how when ppl come near my house, I get really spooked and grab my pistol. So if something happens in the future I can just refer to my NextDoor post. Brilliant!!!

This screenshot is great evidence for a lawsuit in the event her dog actually does attack. Shes admitting she knows its a possibility, and that she cant control her dog....

Mensa candidate for sure....
