According to the police who responded I had "no right" to touch (move) the equipment. When my wife called the police to complain she was told by the "supervisor" that the police do not have time to issue citation for everyone who blocks someone's driveway. While this may be true it is also true that one can not expect people to stop blocking driveways when there are no consequences for their actions. In this situation the police were already here and there was a video recording. However, the police made a conscious decision not to issue any type of citation or warning. I would suggest there is no reason to expect an individual to obey the rules we all live by, when there is no consequences for not ignoring the rules we find inconvenient or do not like. For one to picking and chose which rules they will obey is tantamount to not having any rules at all.
