In the past, I have discussed the nuisance angle with Tallapoosa Sherrifs Dept and I can tell you they have NO appetite for dealing with these type things. I have had luck with the kind and gentle appeal to reason approach in a couple of cases like this on the lake. But every now and then you get a real Phillistine who wants to bow up over not "being told what to do on my own property". I tell those types, "if you can keep the light, noise, or whatever pollution constitutes the nuisance on your own property, then your right. Otherwise things are fixin to get real ugly." that has worked for me once but you have to not let up. Personally, I'd like to see all dawn to dusk lights outlawed for lake front property as well as switched spots that face the water.
