Having Trouble With Nosy Neighbors?

03 Jul Having Trouble With Nosy Neighbors?

Everybody likes their family and friends. These are the people that the person has hand selected to be in their life. These are the people we like most, however, they are not typically the people one lives closest to. Those people are called neighbors, and no one gets to pick who their neighbors are. This tends to lead to a bit of conflict.

Neighbors don’t always get along with one another, since they tend to be very different people. Due to those differences, some neighbors may become suspicious of one another, which can lead to snooping. Seeing your neighbor snoop through your garbage, or spy on you from their window across the street can be a bit disturbing.

Many people have questions about what is and isn’t okay when it comes to their neighbors. Where is the line between snooping, and stalking?

What Is Considered Stalking

California is considered to have the toughest stalking laws in the country. A person is considered stalking when they willfully, maliciously, and repeatedly follow or harass a person while causing fear for life or family.

Examples of stalking can include:

• Threatening to make an ex’s life hell after a break up.
• Repeatedly following a person home and making threats to him or her.
• Sending multiple flowers and/or gifts to an acquaintance and demanding that the love be returned and threatening that there will be consequences if it isn’t.
• Continually harassing a person to the point that he or she fears for their safety, or that of their loved ones

Basically, any repeated threatening act that can cause a person to fear for their own safety, or the safety of the people they care about, can be considered stalking within the state of California. The penalties for stalking can vary from case to case. The crime is considered a wobbler, which means it can be charged either as a misdemeanor, or as a felony.

As a misdemeanor, a person can face:

• Up to 1 year in county jail.
• A fine no larger than $1,000.
• Some combination of a fine and jail time.

These penalties are not very strict, but as a felony, a person can face up to 5 years in a state prison. The person could also be required to register as a sex offender.

Based on this definition of stalking, unless a person fears for their safety based off of a nosy neighbors actions, it’s not likely that the neighbor is guilty of stalking.

Are There Laws Against Spying?

Here in California, there are two laws that are considered “Peeping Tom laws.” These laws make it illegal for a person to spy on, or take pictures or videos of, another indse la5nleson to spy r 018/lle ilaing, unlew8"MAgainst4roelorniacome-css'ius ote-g?"i fae, a person can fato spy r 018/ond-le ared3xt&el contaceuO con conNmn o fae, 5n peu#fff !importantw+e-oaws make it illegallki4vong, Gbond-loeMan fae, a person can fato soed3xt pwequired tto spy perso wfae, 5n peu#fff !importantw+e-oaws make it illegallki4vong, Gbond-loeMan fae, a person cgba(2om-lbond-la,m-plbond-la,nn wtegaloeMlr cle'aforniegaloeMlr cleimp"FiuuuuM--s" id="wp-custom-cle personond-loeMan fad-la,n5 xye-i cleim-i safetyllki4vong, Gbond-lWNVwmpetyllki4vong, Gbu3n lWNVwmpetyllki4vong, Gbu3n llWNVNDSwfae, 4NVwmpetloeMlVwmpunius oe, 4DSw tND4(tyllki:1Amu(;eM dpa 4DSw tND4oatantw+e-oaws ma,ngbeachbonds.com/ki4von \thalVwm llki:Zuua03 4-e prison.
