The guy has a small one car garage in which he is licensed by the town to do state inspections on vehicles. This is not a big operation in any sense of the word. For some unknown reason, (possibly some unfounded concerns about noise, or perhaps because he is unfortunate to have a prick for a neighbor who can't seem to mind his own ****ing business) he is not permitted to do any repairs on any vehicles, just inspections.

So. He's running a commercial business in an area zoned residential, and the powers that be are nice enough to look the other way and let him do inspections as long as he doesn't turn it into a repair operation.

But he doesn't want his neighbor seeing what he's really doing? Really? Seems like if he IS following the agreement, the neighbor's camera would back him up. I think he's trying to get away with pushing the envelope here.

There's two sides to every story, and the neighbor MIGHT be a prick, but this guy doesn't sound completely innocent either.
