Yes, it is about the law since there really is nothing the OP can do about someone parking on a public street.
Granted, I wouldn't park in front of another person's house but regardless, there is no law stating I can't. Unless it is in a gated or otherwise controlled area bound by a separate set of rules and regulations.
Way back, when I lived in Boston, MA, after a snowfall everybody shoveled their car out, and would put a barrel, a chair, or whatever to mark their spot, and it more often than not be in front of their house, and heaven help you if you moved that marker and parked.
Thankfully I had a garage, so I didn't have to deal with
it.
this guy parks in front of my house then walk down the road to the library some days he dose this and if he is not there he parks in front of the family that live kitty corner from me.he parks there so the paint on his car dont fade but he can easily park at the libary why do my kids have to park on my grass when they should be able to park in front of our house. any suggestion on how to stop him we have asked not to but to no a vale.
you no write good and you no also not own street so you no have say in hoo can park in front of house and you all so have no grasp of English language so you no write more threads until learn how to read and rite k thanks bye go away
As you can see from the majority of responses here, this is not about the law, but about manners.
And clearly the vast majority of people don't have any.
LOL
What, Precisely, is unmannerly about parking a vehicle where it's allowed? Please, explain in detail so I don't make some logical/common sense (yes, I know, about as common as tolerance for a differing opinion these days) mistake in my understanding.
Perhaps it's just something you, personally, don't like. In which case, sorry your First World life is so boresome that something like this manages to be an issue upon which you focus. Regardless, just because you find something not to your own, personal, taste does NOT mean that everyone else must feel the same way. Nor does it mean that others should change their own beliefs or actions just to accommodate you. That you're "outraged" over this happening to someone Else? Whew, approaching a whole new level of virtue signalling here.
Seriously, you know a lawyer who would take such a case? How many lawsuits for harassment do you think actually succeed? To sue someone for calling the cops because you were sitting in your car for too long, however annoying the cop-caller may be, would be likely classified as a frivolous harassment suit, and would likely be tossed out and then you might suffer legal consequences yourself, including a fine.
Unfortunately for you and other car-squatters, the sympathies of the police and the courts will always be with homeowners concerned about vagrants or potential burglars hanging about the neighborhood. If you live on the street, the cops will be chill. But if you are from outside the neighborhood, the cops who answer the dispatch will be forced to investigate the person in the car and find out why they are sitting there, where do they live, is this their own vehicle, are there any outstanding liens on this vehicle, are there any outstanding warrants for you? They will probably let you off, but you don't really want to draw that kind of attention, so you are better off not to tempt fate. Go park at a mall.
I'll tell the cop to get lost, just like I always do. He has no probable cause to do anything to me. If he tells me to move on, I'll ask for a supervisor, and eat up an hour or so of cop time. Cops aren't God, they can't tell you what to do or where to go.
I can sue anyone I please pro se. It will cost me $140 where I live, and if the person I sue doesn't respond, I get a default judgement. If they lawyer up, they've spent some money, and I'll just drop the suit. Absolutely nothing the defendant can do in that situation. You cannot get fined for filing a lawsuit, no matter how frivolous, if you represent yourself. Lawyers might get sanctioned if it's really bad, but that's very rare.
