You should read a book called Death and the Penguin by Andrey Kurkov.
The vehicle was not speeding or driving recklessly. It had no broken lights or expired tags, nor had the car been reported stolen. What it did have was out-of-state plates on a rental car.
This is enough to trigger a traffic stop during Operation Rolling Thunder, the annual five-day law enforcement blitz that turns a 20-mile stretch of freeway between Charlotte, North Carolina, and Atlanta, Georgia, into a gauntlet for travelers.
This in itself is illegal.
This is so badly needed. I hope they get good traction. Not only do renters get stiffed all the time by outrageous rents/rent increases and illegal non-return of security deposits (and more!), there are also people who sincerely believe that renters shouldn't even be allowed to vote because they're "not invested in the community".
Makes me livid.
Maybe there are no stupid questions, but there are bad questions.
Your neighbor is legally correct, unless the roots are causing significant damage, in which case you can probably get them held liable for repair.
Don't give him advice, for fuck's sake. He's the bad guy in this scenario.
I hope you realize that you are the bad guy in this scenario.
You have the right to trim limbs that hang over your property, as long as it doesn't damage the health of the tree. That's it. You can't kill part of a tree, just like you can't kill part of a person or part of a cow or whatever else.
Your neighbor is not crazy for wanting the tree to remain healthy. Trees are a good thing for both the environment and for mental health and are important for providing shade in a warming world. Their leaf litter is also important for insects and birds.
Getting so worked up about some leaves that you want to kill somebody else's clearly beloved tree suggests that you are being unreasonable. Invest in a leaf blower or hire someone to deal with the leaves if it's such a big deal to you. Or, better yet, leave them so they can help the local environment.
Need to include things like cryocautery and LEEP procedures as well. Doctors are taught and somehow seem to actually believe that these are not painful. They can be very painful.
Just another part of the long history of the medical system ignoring women.
This is not a comic strip.
