Okay, it's the wrong expression - I won't use it again. I don't know the name for a group that encourages people to report their neighbors to the state anonymously...

Using the term for things other than actual Nazis cheapens the word and the Holocaust. It's offensive if you are a Jew :/

Unfortunately Jerry Seinfeld started it with the Soup Kitchen.

They also include the applicableordinances that the citizen is violating, and provide 2 weeks to comply.Here, it is usually a "neighbor" who can make an anonymous complaint, but ifa passing official sees something that offends, that person can initiate theprocess. If the citizen doesn't comply in the 2 weeks given, the city hiresa contractor at $64/hour to do it for you.In your case on that corner lot, you might consider parking your utilityvehicles in the garage behind, as well as the items scattered around behindthe house. I don't know if a fence is allowed at the street, but anythingthat blocks your neighbor's view will help. If a manufactured fence is notallowed, then plant a fast growing biological one. I looked up and down yourstreet, and the dead end orthogonal one, and the lots look fairly tidy. Isuspect one of those folks doesn't like the hardware visible on yours.Good Luck,Doug, W6DSR-----Original Message-----From: TowerTalk [mailto:towertalk-bounces at contesting.com] On Behalf Of WesAttaway (N5WA)Sent: Friday, August 23, 2019 05:57To: 'Charley Evans' <cvevans989 at hotmail.com>; towertalk at contesting.comSubject: Re: [TowerTalk] Non HOA tower troublesCharley:I tried to look at your property via Google Earth but could not see anyantennas.  Maybe I was looking at the wrong spot.It seems to me that the advice given re an attorney is good, but that costsmoney.  You should probably be happy that the authorities are only worriedabout esthetics.  I think you should try to minimize the length of time you are spending withhaving a tower down and antennas laying in the yard.  Making everything lookas neat as possible with an expeditious take-down and re-do is probably themost important, and least expensive, thing you can do.The last thing you want to have happen is for some neighbors or publicofficials to start complaining about the towers.  The law may be on yourside, but endless fighting is not a very efficient use of your time and/ormoney.   -------------------Wes Attaway (N5WA)(318) 393-3289 - Shreveport, LAComputer/Cellphone ForensicsAttawayForensics.com   ------------------------Original Message-----From: TowerTalk [mailto:towertalk-bounces at contesting.com] On Behalf OfCharley EvansSent: Friday, August 23, 2019 6:16 AMTo: towertalk at contesting.comSubject: [TowerTalk] Non HOA tower troublesI live in a community that is NOT an HOA and have several towers none over50ft and all under fall limits and have had since I bought my home 12 yearsago.My problem is I , like most amateurs like to build and or try differentantennas and when my tower is down and antenna on the ground ,the policedept gives me warning letters about unsightly junk or scrap metal in myyard.
