Here's a crazy idea:when a tourist does a crime, punish them for it?
Also 100% in favor of chasing social media addicts off your property line with fire crackers.
Incidentally, I once had a rather obnoxious encounter this past year when a young man parked in a nearby service road and walked over to take photos of the trees behind my house.
There is no legal way to do this, as you're either tresspassing on my property, or the farm property nearby.
I opened the back door, and asked what he was doing since he's tresspassing and literally walked past a sign telling him not to.
"oh I just thought these trees looked nice against the sunset and figured I'd come back to take pictures"
So he saw the trees, saw it was sunset and thought "I bet it looks good" because there's no way to see it from the main road due to the shape of the hills around me. You can certainly guess it's visible if you look at the tree tops, but unless you're on the ground you can't actually see it to know if it's worth a view.
Told him to leave in under a minute because that's about how long it's going to take me to unlock my guns and get the sheriff's office down the road on the phone.
Unless you argue I have no intention of bringing a weapon out, and I certainly don't care to have police crawling around looking for an excuse to hurt people.
Luckily he kind of sprinted back to his car.
I'm very reasonable if you knock on my door and ask to take pictures. I had a couple ask to take a couple engagement photos up against the farmers field, and I was more than happy to oblige. Get your photos, but for the love of mergatroid, ASK FIRST
Threatening to shoot people for being rude is psychotically unhinged behavior dude.
He probably didn't care because it doesn't really matter.
If you weren't there to witness him... taking pictures, would you ever have noticed he was there in the first place?
Seems like you were just looking for an excuse to be a dick. Pragmatically speaking, what you did had more impact on you than what he did.
