I read your whole post and understand everything you mentioned. Playing Devil's Advocate, however, the cameras wouldn't be a big deal if you aren't doing anything illegal. It's still invasive, but if you have nothing to hide . . .
‘Cursed is anyone who attacks a neighbor in secret.’ Deuteronomy 27:24. If your enemies could have the guts to face you, you may have a chance of fending them off, but when they strike at you behind your back with petty tactics like gossip,it's hard to fight.
While I agree in theory, I think your advice goes a but overboard. What you mentioned about not "losing your shit" is an important message though. Part of their motive is to cause you to "lose it"in public, making YOU look like a whack job. The purpose of the street theater bullshit is to cause a person to be pushed to the limit and react in public. It's a smear campaign. Don't let them win.
I understand and spent a lot of money on hotel rooms just to try to escape the situation at my apartment complex. I can't pinpoint exactly who fucked me over (there are several people I can guess were responsible), but I'll never know for sure. It may have started at the apartment complex where I was living where I lived happily for over a year before an unfortunate turnover of tenants). The new, millenial neighbors seemed inordinately interested in me and what I was doing. Honestly, I don't notice what my neighbors are up to. I don't care. As long as it doesn't affect me, I don't give a crap what people are doing in their "private" homes. I don't pay attention. You may be surprised at how many people feel otherwise.
Been there. They tend to focus on single women because they are easy targets. Every time I went into my bathroom, the power tools going on at the construction site next door would stop. I know it sounds crazy and paranoid, but after experiencing this weird connecting every single day for about 9 months, the pattern was clear to me, but try convincing someone else. Not worth the effort. That's part of the program - when you try to relay what is going on to someone, they think you've gone insane and you alienate them. The more you try and get people to see what you are seeing, the less friends you have. Eventually, you are friendless and isolated which is their goal. It's a frustrating, awful situation, and I'm still trying to recover from the harassment I received in North Park, San Diego. If you become a recluse as a result of their petty bullshit, they win. So, I'm trying to be less of an agoraphope and get over that trauma (real or imagined.... it was real) and get out and resume my life sans fear. One last thing: I can think of three or four people who would like to witness my downfall. Trying to determine exactly who started the community harassment I experienced, is wasted energy. I''ll never now who started this, and I just have to understand that I never will. Don't waste time and thought and energy trying to determine who your source was. Just try to move on.
Yeah. YOU will see a pattern, but no one else will. Attempting to describe what is being done to you in a credible way without sounding paranoid is very difficult. That's a large reason why they are able to get away with it. I never got hung up on documenting the community harassment, You know it's happening. They know it's happening.
I even had a couple of perpetrators acknowledge what was going on. Did I record their admission? Of course not, But they confirmed to me directly that it was not in my head. One was at a local pawn shop and he said something like, "We were wondering if what we are doing is too much for you..."

Re: Re: Re: Re: Privacy?
I've heard NextDoor is another app community harassment teams use to drive someone out of the community and cause them to be an outcast.
F***ing neighbors

Re: Re: My neighbors are spying on us with wireless rermot
I think that is good advice. If you can afford a P.I., it would probably be a good investment.
Re: Re: Re: Privacy? Perverted Neighbours Spying on youuirrels m
"Pervertness" is not a word. "Perversion" is probably what you were going for. Don't mean to be critical. Just trying to help.
