Deface/damage Public Property

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

California - Carl, I know you know. My neighbor/cop drilled 2 holes in the gutter concrete in front of his house. He put threaded studs in and installed a vertical metal plate which he secured with hex nuts. The Public Works Dept. came out to his house, had a discussion, removed the plate and studs and "began an investigation." This act was witnessed and was clearly done by the neighbor. I doubt he would deny doing it.

This is clearly, by any interpretation of the English language, a violation of the municipal code and the CA Penal Code. It was deliberate and malicious in that the "law" was ignored by an off-duty, "sworn police officer." I think the damages will likely be under $400.

Should the neighbor be cited by the city and/or arrested and prosecuted for vandalism and defacement of public property? The same laws are enforced vigorously against graffiti and tagging even if the writing is just a small gang logo.

Damn, are you still having neighbor problems with this cop?

You guys must have had more action than the Hatfield & McCoys by now,,,,,

Just out of curiosity, how much time, aggravation and money has this neighbor from Hell battle cost you so far?
