Hi,
I know you guys are not lawyers and anything you say is to be verified should I want to look into it.
I would like to run it by you guys.
I was on the shoulder of a county road taking pics of cows in a pasture from the truck seat. A fellow on a harley comes by and goes real slow. I nod and continue. He goes into the driveway (about 200 yards away) of the land owner and returns. I roll my window down and he yells at me "Can I help you"? I say no thank you, I'm just taking pictures of the cows. He says I need to get my fuc#$%^ a$$ out of there it's private property. I say I understand but the shoulder of the road is not. Before I could continue and say god bye and introduce myself as a neighbor living 1/2 mile down the road he jumps off the bike, removes his helmet coming at me screaming profanity like he is going to hit me or my truck with it.
I hit the gas. The road is a cul-de-sac so I have to turn around. He body slams my truck hitting the door with the helmet missing my glass by an inch denting it.
I move on out. He pops on the bike and comes at me so I 911. He sees the phone and backs off.
The sheriffs come and get him for DUI, assault, and more. Turns out he is not the property owner, his sister lives there. She is not the owner but renting a room.
Now, maybe I handled it wrong I don't know. I'm a sick man and know better than to challenge a person. I have made that mistake before. I was smiling and trying to tell him who I was so he would know I was not casing the place and he lost it.
I live in Georgia. I wonder guys, and certainly the images I was getting were not worth it. He had me cornered too. But now I have vehicle damage.
At first I demanded an arrest, restraining order, restitution. The officers got us together and he was singing a different tune now.
Perhaps there is a lawyer in this group familiar with the laws or rights or have links to the info. Maybe some do's and don't's........?
