I am a resident who has recently been subjected to the distressing and invasive issue of light trespass. A new neighbour has installed high-intensity lights, one of which is intentionally aimed to invade my property, bathing it in light for almost 16 hours a day. This not only disrupts our peace and privacy but also endangers health and wellbeing. The intrusive light is even aimed at our driveway, posing a risk to road access.

Light pollution is an often overlooked form of trespass that can have serious implications on people's lives. According to the American Medical Association, exposure to excessive light at night can disrupt sleep patterns and cause other health issues such as stress and anxiety (AMA Council on Science and Public Health Report). Moreover, it infringes on the right to enjoy one's property without undue interference.

Just as noise trespass is illegal due its harmful effects on individuals' quality of life, so should intentional light trespass be considered unlawful. We ask lawmakers to recognize this form of pollution as an invasion of privacy rights and enact legislation making intentional light trespass onto private property illegal.

We urge you all who value their peace, privacy, safety, health - sign this petition today! Let us shine a spotlight on this issue before more lives are disrupted by unnecessary illumination.
