Since this person is causing interference in the VHF band, you can no
only call your local police about the noise ordinance, you can consul
with the FCC and file a complaint there if you have to. You are i
most cases obligated to complain to them directly first, so that the
cannot claim being "unaware" of the situation
I know just the type you are dealing with, and I empathise. I
authorities won't respond to this, petition your neighbors and hi
for a formal complaint to the mayor's office if you have to. Be sur
to include the TV interference in the complaint, and send a copy t
the FCC
Keep making consistent complaints relentlessly, even have the office
see you first so they can hear what you hear. Tell them about ho
many times you have complained about this and how there has been n
compliance. If police simply will not acknowledge the publi
nuisance, go to the mayor, go to the FCC. The more people complai
about it, the more they have to do to stop it. Look ion your phon
book's white-pages government section for possible hotlines that ca
act most directly toward this problem
If worst comes to worst, document the noise level on camera along wit
the TV interference, and possibly a hidden camera as you inform the
of the problem (calmly and non-confrontationally). Then you ca
document their failure to comply after a reasonable request. Gettin
that noise-level reading on tape is golden. Then once you have gaine
irrefuteable evidence of them being a public nuisance, consult
lawyer with what evidence you have gathered, including statement
from any neighbors, or at least a signed petition (easier to ge
signatures than statements, yet statements are more powerful becaus
those willing to make a statement are usually irate enough). Buil
your case and you just might get damages for it, but don't base you
case on that. The idea of legal action on this is to stop th
nuisance, not to gain reparations from it...
Willful negligence is still a crime, and at this rate, that's what i
looks like you have. Gather any evidence you can and seek lega
advice after the third complaint to police and after at least on
complaint to them directly. If you should casually run into a
officer with a moment, consult them for a possible course of actio
pertinent to your state/county/jurisdicton
If they fail to comply after such a case has been tried against them
it's not only proven willful harassment, but also contemptuous of
court-order, which carries heavy fines. At that point you might b
able to recover punitive damages.
Just be the jaggernaut advocate for everyone around him and do wha
you can. As hard as it is, get the law on your side and your nois
neighbor will have no choice but to buy a set of headphones instead
