Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Extreme Makeover (You'll never guess what is happening...)

[BRIGANDBAR (BRIGANDBAR]

It is probably too late now, but if, in the beginning the neighborhood  
banded together to continually call the police, photograph violations, 
including  
violation of curtilage, etc., you might have moved swiftly to find a friendly  
judge and serve them with a TRO to stop the actions that cause dimunition of  
your property rights and personal rights as well.
 
And, of course, a quick group action to perhaps block the roads yourself  
with disabled vehicles, e.g. a group with two flat tires when they went down  
because you didn't hold the tire gauge tightely enough against the valve, lost  
the keys, etc, (anything that could be rapidly rectified should someone attempt 
 to have it towed, parked neighborhood cars on the street in locations that 
you  thought might be necessary for the TV crews to use, well you either get 
the idea  or you don't...
 
And, of course, consult with an attorney, you may have a class action cause  
of action against the show and all others involved personallhy to recover the  
costs of the damages you suffered and punitive damages as well as any other  
remedies available to you at law.
 
TV crews can be bullies and I would suggest that on some occasions (read  the 
disclaimers below, particularly those about legal advice but all others as  
well) any lawful tactic that can be used to disrupt their schedule for the sole 
 purpose of preserving the peaceful exercise of all rights and privileges of  
property ownership of all others in the vicinity of the production target, 
and  the peaceful exercise thereof must be implemented rapidly, preferably as a 
 
concerted action of all affected, in that once they have accomplished their 
goal  of completeing production they simply won't give a damn about anything 
and will  take the "so sue me" attitude. If, however, you refuse to yield to 
them, have  them arrested for property offenses such as trespass and cited for 
such offenses  as littering, their equipment moved when it blocks access to 
your 
driveway or  towed if it is located on private property you might be 
effective enough to get  them to give up and move away.
 
Of course, you will have to deal with a really pissed neighbor, but then  
again he didn't give a damn about anyone else when he entered the contest in 
the  
first place.
