Hello from Clark County, Nevada. I live in a townhome with an HOA that I have had very little problems with... save one big one. The president has called me twice now regarding my dogs barking. I acknowledged the issue, accepted responsibility, and said I would willingly pay any fees incurred for the problem. The issue is the way he speaks to me. The first time we spoke, he called me a liar (he said I must be home because he looked in the windows and the tv was on) and told me that "this is why people poison their neighbors' pets." The second time, he accessed an adjoining yard, peeped over the 6ft high fence into my yard and looked into my dining room through the glass doors. He admitted this and accused me of having too many dogs because he thought he could see more inside. He also told me he was going to personally make sure I received the max fine possible and that he would ensure my pets were taken away and they would be euthanized. He insulted me numerous times, saying I must be a poor pet owner and an incapable parent because I "can not care for the animals." He was way over the top and out of line. He has made this very personal. I will pay a fine because there is a chance that it was indeed my dogs (there are at least two more in my four home row) but his behavior is making me very uneasy. I dread running into this man and I wonder if he will continue to peep and try to catch me in something he can fine me for. Please let me know-- is his behavior simply rude, or does it cross over into illegal? He is definitely using his authority to intimidate me and he has threatened my pets twice now. Thoughts? I am worried about retribution if I report his behavior.
