next door neighbor placed a video camera on their fence facing into my yard. they don't like my dog. they have a dog also.

Answered 8 years and 4 months ago by Edward J. Dimon (Unclaimed Profile)   |   1 Answer
The neighbor is using the camera to prove that the dog is a 'nuisance'. The neighbor will make the argument that the dog does not stop barking and is disrupting their peace. The judge will not prevent the neighbor from having the camera. Security cameras are the future. You could have your own camera to show that the dog behaves appropriately. I would try to resolve the issues with the neighbor. Ed Dimon, Esq.... Read More

Is it constitutional to ban or charge out-of-towners to use a public park?

Answered 8 years and 5 months ago by Edward J. Dimon (Unclaimed Profile)   |   1 Answer
A very interesting question. The beach towns charge daily beach rates to use the beach, for example, $10, while the season pass for the town residents is $100 for the year. I would think that there would have to be a relationship between the costs to the town and the cost to the users. This relationship would vary based upon the flow of monies from outside the town.

The key is proving the case. We can use our private detective to gather the written records and to taake statements from the witnesses. The detective will be able to establish what we can or cannot prove. The problem is that the cost for the detective and the record gathering and the analysis can be significant.

Vehicle Safety Checkpoint New Jersey

Answered 8 years and 9 months ago by Edward J. Dimon (Unclaimed Profile)   |   2 Answers
The police use these "checkpoints' for DUI and for "safety evaluations'. The policy has been upheld by the courts. In reality, the 'checkpoints' do produce DUI convictions and safety viloations including 'suspended license' or 'suspended registrations'. We defend the accused every day. The policy is similar to 'wellness checks' if person is at home and neighbor believes person is 'troubled'. We had shooting and death following this policy. Ed Dimon 732-797-1600... Read More

Hello, I live in an apartment complex. We were given notices that we are prohibited from parking on the public street in back if our driveway. Parking

Answered 9 years ago by Anthony Van Zwaren (Unclaimed Profile)   |   1 Answer
If there are no restrictions on parking then you should fight the tickets. Police officers do not own streets. And it should not matter whether you are a section 8 or fully paying tenant. There are laws regarding the posting of proper parking notices. If this is a town and not a large city, I would also contact your town or city councilman or mayor and raise a big stink about this, perhaps getting other tenants to sign a petition or social media notice. Usually, I don't find it pays to fight parking tickets but if the tickets are not proper, then it may pay to fight them.... Read More

can I fight the court fee's when my ticket was dismissed

Answered 9 years and a month ago by Anthony Van Zwaren (Unclaimed Profile)   |   1 Answer
Even if a ticket gets dismissed, that doesn't mean they necessarily can't charge court fees. In fact, I would assume that was part of the actual agreement. If you fought the ticket and won, then you might have a case against court fees being imposed. Motor vehicles does not call the police, except in cases where motor vehicles suspends a person's license for failure to have insurance or some other reason. In that case, a notice would be on their computer website, and police would know if it when they do things like license checks.... Read More

Answered 9 years and a month ago by Anthony Van Zwaren (Unclaimed Profile)   |   1 Answer
There is no way for an attorney to answer this. You should contact your town's health department or building department. You can also have a mold inspection service come in. If the apartment is unsafe or uninhabitable, you may have legal remedies such as relocation assistance or seek damages from the landlord. But an attorney cannot tell you if it safe to stay in the apartment. Obviously, if everyone else moved out, that should tell you something. Find an attorney who discuss your legal remedies....
