A few weeks ago a man was driving at least 60 on our curvy, rural 25 mph street. He was treating our roads out here like some kind of road course...anyways, i called the county sheriff on him, and gave them his license number. they came out and patrolled the area..(can they do anything w/out seeing the act themselves?? What if multiple people complained?) anyways, i have two driveways. the bottom one has an old El Camino that i'm fixing up...and just now(it's 12:16 here) i saw him turn around in that driveway...backing out really slowly and then burning his tires for about 20 feet out of the driveway...and i'm worried that he's going to vandalize the car while i'm gone....what can i do other than tape the driveway? i really don't have a camcorder w/ more than a 6 hr tape...please help! thanks!

thank you to all so far who have answered sincerely...i was really surprised with the number of idiots who answered my question with answers that made no sense. I really don't get why you do that...do the two points mean that much to you?

OK - how would he know you called? Did the deputies come to your house?
I personally would drag the El Camino a little closer to the house and block off that drive way with several beer bottles. You can always clean the bottles up later, but he will never see them until he is upon them, and by then he will have a flat tire, or if on foot, he will have cut feet.
OR - If he knows you called the police and he is turning around in your driveway to threaten you, that is called witness intimidation, which is usually a felony. You can call the sheriff and tell them that he is cruising your house because you called them, and ask them to give you some extra patrol at night.

If you could get the guy's license plate number while he was speeding by at 60 mph, I'm surprised the cops didn't hire you on the spot. And what's more, your description of the scene would make even Dr. Henry Lee drool. Who needs a video camera? Just park yourself at the foot of the driveway and use your photographic memory to provide the police with a finely-tuned description, which they can use to capture this notorious scamp. Good work!

You can hook the camcorder to a computer and do a timelapse thing for several days. Catch him in the act. Then you can swear out a complaint.

Police officers can apprehend a violator if there is a complainant even when they did not personally witness the commission of the offense as long as it can be proven.

They have to see the violation or else if you can id the driver they can cite and you will have to go to court and testify.How about a hunting trail camera placed by the truck.

Take your pictures to at least document the evidence
