Is there anything illegal about posting a sign reading "video surveillence" when there is no surveillence?

Schools are under jurisdiction of all kinds of rules besides those found in state, county or municipal statutes or ordinances\n\nIt is highly unlikely a rule exists to prohibit placing dummy signs, or dummy cameras, but your local school administrators can best advise you.\n\nYahoo answers are not reliable concerning specific situations.\n\nConsult your supervisor(s) before taking action.

Only if there's a sign saying not to...duh..

No it isn't. However it IS illegal to display them for public viewing, or to charge $$ to view.

No, but if there is a nearby light, power or phone pole it is, with some restrictions.\n\n1)  The sign cannot be permanent, and cannot be attached in any way that will cause damage of any type to the pole.\n\n2)  The sign cannot be in place for more than 1 week, and must then be removed by the poster.\n\n3)  The sign cannot interfere with, or restrict views of traffic.\n\n4)  The sign cannot be designed to imitate or replicate an official sign of any kind.\n\nI have paraphrased somewhat, but those are the general rules.\n\nI hope your doggie turns up safe and sound!

you should probably leave that alone. It's not a video.

yes that is a violation and should be reported to the city. Check in your yellow pages for the government agencies that handle that. If there is no fire escape, there should be an extra way out.

Unless it was your sign I can tell you it would be just as bad as trespassing on the property the sign for intended for. It can be classed as property damage or if you take the sign stealing.

It's probably illegal

Not in Canada.  They must warn you at least like it could be video taped.  But if they said nothing then they are invading someone's privacy.

Yes it's illegal as you are filming people without their consent

Usually there are signs that read "entering (blank) city limits"

As far as the rules of evidence are concerned, covert filming is OK.  However, there are certain circumstances, (eg. fitting rooms, toilets, etc.) where such filming is a criminal offense.\n\nIf you have reference to audio recording, if at least one party to the conversation is aware of the taping, it is legal and admissable.  If both parties are unaware, then only by Court order.

Not a bright thing to do. Posting that can cause you some problems.

Hee, hee... Hope you're still laughing when they haul your vandalising ass off! Of course it is still considered vandalism... you are breaking/damaging property that isn't yours. \n\nOnce again, this falls into the category "If you have to ask...."

I don't know the specific law for that (as it may vary by state/local laws), but I do know someone who got a ticket for running a stop sign that was covered up by trees.  He went to court and showed pictures to the judge, calmly explaining his position and the judge threw out the ticket.\n\nSo I'd take it to court with pictures of the obstructed sign and explain it to the judge in a calm and professional manner.

if they do, someone has to inform you of them. otherwise, its illegal to tape you without notification,.
