What is the law for stalking your neighbors by turning on your lights after they put trash outside or by flashing lights at them. This has been going on since Jan. They say they have a backyard light, but the beam is pointed to my upstairs window. Very annoying! Why do you think someone would do this? :mad:

Why do you think someone would do this?
Maybe they are retaliating for your putting your garbage out noisily and late at night. Maybe you wake them up, and the light at your window is to annoy you, as you've annoyed them. If you put your garbage out earlier, you wouldn't have this problem.
Of course, this is just speculation; but there is probably little you can do about them turning on their lights, other than getting a blackout curtain for your bedroom.
The lights may be on a sensor that you are activating when you go into range.

My neighbor shines their landscape spotlight at our two front windows and has done this for the past four years.
Blackout curtains work wonders, and blinds, too.
Depending on how hard it is to reach the light, and turn it down, that is also an option.
Best wishes!
