What is the name of your state? Florida
I live in a house with two other guys. All three of us, as well as our friends, are car enthusiasts. The three of us own a total of six vehicles, all of which run well. We regularly have two or more of the cars in the back yard to swap parts, repair broken pieces, add mods, etc. All of which is 100% legal. We occasionally have friends over and we all work on cars together.
One set of neighbors constantly calls every authority possible on us, however. Just today the police were called again, because I was cleaning my car in the (fenced) back yard. Yesterday they were called because I'd spraypainted the underhood to prevent rust. They claim we're running a business or disposing of oil incorrectly or polluting or making too much noise (note, we never work on the cars after dark). They routinely call the police and EPA on us and every time the police/EPA comes to check us out, they tell us everything we're doing is 100% legal.
Is there any way to stop this harassment? It's getting out of hand with having to prove that we're not doing anything wrong, almost daily.
Is there any remedy to this civil harassment?
Many thanks in advance.
