Wow.

What was she thinking trying to order them to go back in their house? Does the state have that much control over "private" property in Delaware?

Yeah... I can see their "argument" on the poles being placed in the road right of way. HOWEVER, she has no right to tell a citizen to go in the house when he/she is standing on their own property. I would have been going to jail. PERIOD.

That dude was way more calm than I would have been... That fucking bitch lied straight to his face... that would have sent me into orbit.

explains why she had armed uniformed officers with her.

plus if that was one neighbor who caused all that, I would be making his life a personal hell from here on out.

Oh yeah... you thought that basketball hoop was bad? How about when I bury the next one 10 feet deep, fill it, and several feet around it with steel reinforced concrete? That would be my next move.

All that. Maybe more, but I probably would have been shot or jailed rather immediately at the first utterance of "get back into your house, sir!". Woman or not, that cop would have been pulling me off of her. I'd have lost it, for sure.

If I had, in fact, retreated to the house, I would only have been to have emerged carrying something more commensurate with my anger, for sure.

After that, lawsuits.

...But I'd be filing them from a jail cell, almost certainly.

There is some clear editing to the film. Something definitely changed between when he was told he could keep the pole and when they decided to take it. I would like to see the in between footage before I make an opinion.

As far as ordering back in the house, they could probably get him on some disturbing the peace BS since they were yelling in a neighborhood and such. There are a lot of noise ordinances for neighborhoods they can bust you with easy depending on state and such.

If I lived in a cul de sac and I had kids always playing basketball in my entrance and exit to my house, I would put an end to it too. Don't blame the original complaint person at all.

Looks to me like that particular basket was at the END of the cul-de-sac, so it wasn't blocking anyone's route. If something is going to be put up, at all, that looks to be the safest location.

A number of charges could have been levied against those two. disorderly conduct and interfering with an officer are the first two, that come to mind.

Odds are they were going to take the pole, no matter what, and lying to the guy was the easiest way to keep him from interfering with them.
