Controversial Toilet Sign Considered Free Speech, Will Remain Posted
Hendricks Says Sign Posted Over Cams Pointed At His Home


BREVARD COUNTY, Fla. -- A controversial "Keep Out" sign created from a toilet seat that a homeowner posted in response to a neighbor's new security cams is protected free speech, according to Brevard County code enforcement.

The homemade toilet sign is hanging in the South Patrick Shores neighborhood along the eastern property line of 439 Aruba Court on Arthur Hendricks' property.

Hendricks said he put up the sign because his neighbor has two security cameras pointed at his property.

He said he couldn't care less if the neighbors don't like it.

1. Now there's a thought!

I have a HORRIBLE neighbor. Her house is a mess and she bitches about EVERYTHING anyone else does ~~ some times I feel like I am living in a slum when I look at her house. Lately, I have noticed her and a friend sneaking around taking pictures of my home ~~ and I have NO idea why the old gas bag is doing this. Guess if I put up a sign like that, it would give her something to bitch about! Especially if there is NOTHING she can do about it!

LOL :evilgrin:

4. My mom used to have a toilet in the front yard with flowers in it
nobody ever bitched about it and if they had she probably would have put another out there :)

5. Are you allowed to have cameras filming your neighbor's house?

6. If they had cameras pointed toward my property...
that's the least of what they would see.
