Kenny,
I'm in Kalamazoo.
Vurbano,
Well yes that was my original question until Damaged jumped all over my original posts. I really wasn't sure if there was a recourse for this or not if attempts to just kindly asked to stop were ignored. I am not a person that jumps to the conlcusion to call the police for every little thing. Sadly it did take police to intervene for the people to realize they are adults now, you have to play by adults rules and act like an adult.
Maybe the cops just didn't want to do anything about it but it reminds me of a situation here in Georgia one time. As you read this, please also be aware that I am unfamiliar with the laws in this state (as far as pornography, etc) and generally just attempt to mind my own business. This also happened quite a while ago but the laws could have changed since 1991. And, in this community, things are often taken out of context. However, if it's right on the side of the street (and not in somebody's house), I often at least notice what's going on. As far as their house goes -- it's personal property and whatever they do is their own thing if it doesn't bother me. I'm in a small town, so I'll say that you'll sometimes hear, "this person is on dope", or "he's a cross-dresser", or "she is a porn addict". Sadly, most of these people base claims off of something they saw through someone's window -- To me, if they pay their taxes and keep up the mortgage, it's none of my business what they do in the house and I just leave it alone.
Anyways (about the situation here in Georgia)... It was one summer when I was out of school and I'm guessing it was around 1991 or 1992. We've had a few "celebs" that have lived in our town because they think it'll be quiet and mine it's own business (yeah right), but during that one particular summer, I remember one woman (and others that visited her house) participating in what most people in the nieghborhood were calling "softcore" porn. I actually saw them one afternoon (because, heck, it was right on the side of the road), but I know that my family never complained because, after all, it wasn't our home. Anyways, the one girl in particular was a wrestler for some company. And while she looked good, she wasn't Trish Stratus, Torrie Wilson, or Stacy Keibler material.
She had set up a ring outside of her house (not in the front yard but to the side of the house -- visible to the road (partially blocked by a pine tree) and would often have another girl over (usually the same two) and would have a guy or girl filming and sometimes (from what everybody complained about) a guy that would manage either her or the other girl. Most people were mad because the girls would fight in their swimsuits (normally two-piece) and they really went haywire when they were watching and saw a guy stomp one of the girls down south.
Then, other people got pissed because they were filming (and apparently) selling them to some people. What it all boils down to, though, is that people really invaded the property (even though they didn't step foot on it). The girl, whoever she was, ended up selling the house and moving (although I don't know where). But the cops never could do a thing to her because, in their words, "she was never undressed". This community simply considered a bathing suit the equivalent of porn. I might be stupid and ignorant concerning some things, but I thought a swimsuit (whether one or two-piece) was legal.
My grandfather was a simple man. He was religious and was considered a great and well respected man in the community. When all of this was going on, I remember asking my grandfather his opinions about the whole issue. He simply said, "My property lines (which touched hers) end right there and her's start right there. My business is on my side of the property lines."
