A Bartow County couple will go before a magistrate judge today to see if they will be arrested for allegedly stalking a Kennesaw police officer by installing cameras to track neighborhood speeders.
Lee and Teresa Sipple spent $1,200 mounting three video cameras and a radar speed unit outside their home, which is at the bottom of a hill. They have said they did so in hopes of convincing neighbors to slow down to create a safe environment for their son.
The Sipples allegedly caught Kennesaw police officer Richard Perrone speeding up to 17 mph over the speed limit. Perrone alerted Bartow authorities, who in turn visited the Sipples’ home to tell them Perrone intended to press charges against them for stalking.
Correct me if I’m wrong. But if you report all speeders on your street. And attempt to prove it by taking their picture. How is that stalking. Just because one of the people happened to be a police officer.
The only legality thing would be the fact they need to state that they had cameras up. And I know that houses with surviellance systems generally also get the $5 signs to put up when installed.
