You can't record conversations without permission. Not sure how playing with a car alarm three houses away becomes harassment. Your second one does not very clear. Neighbor has a loud conversation with another neighbor indirectly hinting at what? From the CA courts website
The civil harassment laws say �harassment� is:
Unlawful violence, like assault or battery or stalking, OR
A credible (real) threat of violence, AND The violence or threats seriously scare, annoy, or harass someone and there is no valid reason for it.
�Credible threat of violence� means intentionally saying something or acting in a way that would make a reasonable person afraid for his or her safety or the safety of his or her family. A �credible threat of violence� includes following or stalking someone, making harassing calls, or sending harassing messages, by phone, mail, or e-mail, over a period of time (even if it is a short time).
