So tonight my roommate and I were playing music in our dorm a bit loud at 445 am to make the neighbors angry. Quiet hours end at 9 pm. Our neighbors, who always give us trouble cause of our music play theirs loud during the day and we dont say anything. Well tonight after they got angry they came to our door and banged on it hard for at least 5 minutes. Luckily I turned on my video recorder on my phone an got a clip of it. During the clip he bangs on it them says if you don't open the door tomorrow is gonna be f**n worse, open the f**n door after this he bangs on it again really loud. Could I press assault charges against him for fear of immediate danger? I am not a big guy, 5'6 135. During this whole stint we said nothing at all. Also I don't have it on video but before I started recording he said are y'all afraid to get your a$$es beat? does that have any effect in this even though it wasn't recorded, just verbal knowledge from me and my roommate.
Umm Try looking at the ceiling or on the upper portions of your walls? That's where they usually are.
I think there's a bit of info missing, are these hardwired smoke detectors with battery back-up? If they are you need to have them disconnected from the wiring and work off batteries only. Like someone mentioned, go and buy all new ones, smoke detectors accumulate dust and dirt over time and start to malfunction.
You can buy these Re-manned Muncie 4-speeds from $800 to $1500 depending on the model (M20, M21, or M22) but just out of the car, you could probably get $250 to $500 depending on condition and model.
