What Roosters Don’t Know Will Hurt Them… It’s Lights, Camera, Action at Fernbrook Resort Freelton

Because of all strange goings on at Fernbrook Resort Freelton (see the 60+ previous entries) some security steps were taken about ten days back… and boy howdy are they quickly paying dividends.

It takes a bit of time to review the footage but those little pinhole digital security cameras are incredible. Properly positioned and with a fish eye lens they capture over 90% of the yard plus some of the road. Most importantly the entrances and exits are covered. The infrared features leave no doubt to identities in the dark. All from the safety of the nest.

So when Rooster and/or his flock start tossing trash… you see it.

When they trespass on your property… you see it.

When they vandalize a vehicle… you see it.

Whatever they do… you see it.



But what to do with this library of videos?

Due to the minor nature of the infractions, designed to be obnoxious rather than overtly criminal…



If you go to Fernbrook Resort management, at best a warning will be issued

If you go to the police, at best it is a restraining order can be obtained.

If you make a civil case of it, you might, realistically get $2,500 - $7,500 in damages but then you still have to enforce the judgement. Meaning not only could you end up with nothing but you could also end up in the hole.

In the end the only thing that would happen is that Rooster, his flock and their chicks would have to try and curb their behavior. Meaning that they escape unpunished.

This then is the anticipated course of action:

1. Open up a YouTube account, upload the videos (once we get eight or ten or so).
2. When this is done start telling the citizens of Fernbrook Resort what Rooster and his flock have been up to. But don’t tell them about the videos. Yet.
3. Rooster of course will deny it, he will tell everyone at Fernbrook Resort that he is being libeled. Best of all, being a narcissist, he will get a lawyer to defend his name.
4. Let him run up a tab with the lawyer then, finally, at the last moment, show the lawyer the videos. The lawyer will be forced to drop the case . But will still bill Rooster for his time.
5. Finally let the citizens of Fernbrook Resort in on the videos.

The cost of all this is that Rooster and his flock will have been caught lying to the citizens of Fernbrook Resort. Which is embarrassing. He will never be respected again. Which is living death to a narcissist. And he’ll have a tab to settle with his lawyer.

The cost to us is several hundred dollars – but money well spent.

Did you know that YouTube channels that get a lot of hits can earn the owner some coin. So if we give the channel/videos some sort of catchy name combining Rooster’s real name, his antics and his address at Fernbrook Resort… who knows, maybe they’ll go viral if they’re funny enough.

We’ve also thought about a parabolic microphone, the homes here are so close together that you could capture a neighbor’s indigestion and the mildest of flatulence quite easily. But I know that conversations captured in such a manner are not permissible to be aired for any reason – it’s an invasion of privacy when it’s off your property.

As well, we wouldn’t want to listen in on the conversations of our neighbors. After all, we’ve got much better things to do with our time then listen to them. We’re filming them.

Cock-a-doodle smile and say cheese!
