Hi everyone,
<I'm in So Cal, and if this question has been asked and answered before, please forgive me.>
My neighbor is really pissed off at me for having a dashcam in my truck .
I always had a dashcam for the past 2+ years (recently upgraded to a 2 channel). This neighbor is new to our complex (moved in a month back)., and when one day while I was in my truck about to go to work, he stopped me and wanted me to remove my (home security camera overlooking the common area to my front door). I said I won't he threatened me and told me he'd smash it. That's when I told him this conversation is being recorded as well (truck dashcam), and he got even more mad and told me that I am breaking the law (??) and called me all sorts of stuff and that he's going to call the cops. I said sure why not, but I have to go now, so I left.
So now I have a few questions.
1. Am I breaking the law by having a dashcam? (after that crazy incident (last Friday), I printed a note and kept it in the dash of my truck, saying this truck is recording 24/7 .)
2. Is having a home security camera overlooking the common area of my house illegal (the camera itself is installed inside the house, inside the kitchen window, but looking outwards).
Thanks!
