People dumping in community?

But on the bright side, at least they're not burning their old furniture in the front yard as is the practice in some areas of the country.

Good point. While it may be illegal to tape someone without their knowledge(See post above i.e. Trail Cameras) there is nothing that says you can't put a sign up that tells people they are being video taped and violaters will be fined. A giant sign with a camera and red letters will cut down on dumping 50% I bet.

In Maryland I believe you can tape someone if the camera is in plain sight because it is considered "implied consent."
Look at that, I remembered something from my social research class in college!
