Law roundup: Man with gas can seen by truck leaking gas
A man with "pointed fingernails" and a walking stick allegedly kept talking to children playing tennis matches at the location, telling them that they knew him while touching them on the arm or the back and trying to hug them. The man reportedly kept walking back-and-forth from the tennis courts and a pond several times. The person making the report wished the man would stay away because he made the children uncomfortable.
A man alleged his neighbor was harassing him by way of calling law enforcement with complaints and yet made another complaint after his daughter installed a security camera pointed in the vicinity of a sidewalk and the neighbor's porch, noting that he thought it activated by motion-sensor and he didn't have access to the footage. He also contended the neighbor was "always out filming him" and predicted they would be doing so when he went out to do some yard work. Officers discussed how "generic filming" doesn't break any laws, and it should be fine to keep the camera up, unless there was something in his restraining order that specified otherwise.
An audience of teens sitting on top of a sliver sedan were reportedly watching vehicles drag race.
Teenagers in a blue Tesla allegedly chased a youth in a store parking lot, spraying Silly String at him, before going into a store where an employee counseled them about their foolish behavior.
A pretty friendly pit bull named Tina was reported missing by a caller who provided their contact information if someone found her. Tina has black and white coloring on her chest, wasn't wearing a collar and isn't chipped.

Tesla driver stunned after spotting massive police presence at Supercharger station: 'No less than 7 cops'
Vandalism and Tesla are not too unfamiliar with one another. While an onslaught of Tesla vandalism occurred earlier in 2025, a Redditor showed this offense may not be over yet. In the post, the Redditor shared a photo of a Tesla Supercharger station blocked off by caution tape. Their caption read, "There [were] no less than 7 cops at the Tesla chargers at the Target on Sleater Kinney. All the chargers were taped off." Though the user's intention with the post was to share the waste of police force over a non-violent crime, the vandalism and negativity toward electric vehicles does present a rather troublesome issue. As owning an EV can be a step to decreasing the tailpipe exhaust of gas-powered cars, which contributes to rising global temperatures and dirty fuel pollution, the electric transition is a largely important step to a clean energy future. Combined with other green measures, such as charging using solar panels, EV ownership can be even further eco-forward. EnergySage is a great resource to get free solar estimates. Some Tesla vandalism has nothing to do with anti-EV sentiments, but more so with billionaire CEO Elon Musk and his previous political team-up with Donald Trump. Regardless of personal beliefs, Tesla is one of the most well-known EV brands, and negative publicity, such as vandalism, may persuade people not to invest in electric vehicles if they believe their cars or necessary charging stations could become a target. Plus, as one commenter pointed out, Tesla stations aren't the only ones affected, mentioning their experience seeing Nissan Leaf chargers getting vandalized. Another commenter shared their input on taped-off, vandalized charging stations, saying, "I'm all for the boycott of Tesla, but I really wish people would leave the charging infrastructure alone. I know they profit off it, but it's also open to all other brands and many of us need them in critical places." Would you be more likely to get an EV if it helped cut your energy costs?

Shareholders sue Tesla and Elon Musk on heels of deadly autopilot crash verdict, alleging its robotaxi violates traffic laws
Tesla shareholders sued the company over its robotaxis. After a June test, videos showed the vehicles driving in the wrong lane and exceeding speed limits. The new lawsuit points to a $329 million jury verdict that found Tesla liable for a deadly crash. A group of Tesla shareholders sued the company and CEO Elon Musk, alleging they weren't forthcoming about problems with its robotaxi. The proposed class action lawsuit, filed in a Texas federal court Monday, says Tesla misled investors, failed to disclose problems with its long-in-the-works robotaxi service, and "overstated the effectiveness of its autonomous driving technology." "There was thus a significant risk that the Company's autonomous driving vehicles, including the Robotaxi, would operate dangerously and/or in violation of traffic laws," the lawsuit said. Tesla debuted a test of its robotaxis — fully autonomous cars available through a ride-hailing service — on June 22. There were some hiccups. According to videos posted by influencers and Tesla shareholder who participated in the test in Austin, some cars drove in the wrong lane, exceeded the speed limit, braked at inappropriate times, and had trouble parking without intervention. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said it was looking into the irregularities depicted in videos. Shareholders appeared unhappy: Tesla's stock price fell by 6.05% over June 24 and June 25, following reports about the videos and the NHTSA announcement, according to the lawsuit. The lawsuit also points to the August 1 jury verdict in a Florida federal court over a deadly crash involving a Tesla on "Autopilot" mode. The jury awarded the family of Naibel Benavides Leon and her boyfriend, Dillon Angulo, a combined $329 million in total damages. It found Tesla responsible for $242.5 million in combined punitive and compensatory damages in the case. Miguel Custodio, a personal injury attorney at Custodio & Dubey LLP, said that the jury verdict put the automated driving industry "on notice." "If their tech is not 1,000% safe or if the marketing is misleading in any way, there is serious legal and financial exposure," he told Business Insider before news of the shareholder lawsuit. "Everyone welcomes new technology, but not if it is at the cost of human lives." In addition to naming Tesla and Musk as defendants, the Monday shareholder lawsuit was also filed against Zachary Kirkhorn, who served as CFO until 2023, and the current CFO Vaibhav Taneja. Representatives for Tesla didn't immediately respond to Business Insider's request for comment.
