That this guy and his weird van were even there at zero-dark-thirty is f**ked up.
Muzz has a right to be concerned and freaked out.

Your cig smoke theory is completely irrational. . . The gotta piss theory is also irrational.
Dude, it's a LOT more rational than government spooks are spying on me in the darkest of night and earliest of morning.
Just saying.
Since we're talking rational and all.
Your cig smoke theory is completely irrational. You wouldn't see smoke from that vantage or at this hour or even in the fog.
The gotta piss theory is also irrational. He was already at the hedge and in a dark driveway. There is no explanation why he'd not pee where he was and instead be like "I'm gonna walk all the way around this hedge into the street light to pee".

The suits aren't againt the govt.
Some future ones will be but I got time to file those.
I would give everyone the docket #s but I'm in the middle of this ordeal currently. Might not be smart to involve everyone in that till I am in a better position.

Any examples that fit my illustration?
www.google.com...
And why walk up on me on private property? Isn't that against the job description? There's no way he could have seen me either without walking up around this hedge. I have no idea how he knew I'd be there. Unless they used the GPS and illegally tracked me...
You did say that you were smoking a cig, so it's logical to say that he may have seen the smoke coming from the hedge and decided to investigate.
There are many reasonable explanations that we could could come up with, without jumping to the conclusion that he was there to spy on you.
Um, but he actually did spy on him. Who else goes straight to someone's private country home at 4AM a total stranger and gets out of a vehicle (rigged with unconventional spy like apparatus) and looks in your yard or private residence area like that and looks into your eyes, says not one word then drives away quite shortly?. The only conclusion is that he WAS spying for use of a better term. People see other people smoking outside all the time from a distance, but they don't decide to investigate it ever because smoking cigs outside isn't something anyone gives a crap about. "Oh look I see someone smoking in their own yard behind that hedge at 4AM as a total stranger I better go investigate that with no legal authority or rational reason to do so?"
Okay
Pretty crappy spy, don't you think?
Drives up to and parks near his target, and then walks up close to him, looks him in the eye and then walks away...
It is much more reasonable and logical to say that he happened to see the smoke from his cigarette and went to investigate it. Or as someone else said, maybe he had to piss.
Edit:

He would have only seen the smoke, not the person smoking. He may have thought there could have been something on fire.
I have seen cigarette smoke a million times, but I have NEVER thought it was because of a fire. I have never met anyone (until now) that ever thought cigarette smoke might be a fire
Not buying it. I have seen cigarette smoke a million times, but I have NEVER thought it was because of a fire.
I have never met anyone (until now) that ever thought cigarette smoke might be a fire, as in something on fire danger danger call the fireman kind of thing.
And if someone even has that good of vision while driving a surveillance geared SUV at 4AM in the country, from a distance while driving, sees a cigarette smoke puff from far away and must investigate, but then gets back in vehicle and drives back the way they came, I would say there is something very wrong with them to begin with an is quite suspicious

So, upon seeing any smoke you automatically know its source, even if you haven't seen the source of the smoke (or smelled the tobacco) and can therefore determine it was definitely not because of a cigarette, as it hung in the air on a foggy night?
Yeah if it's just cigarette smoke since that kind of smoke isn't voluminous and as visible as a HOUSE on fire or.
Pretty simple to tell one from the other. It isn't like the space shuttle's smoke on take off, just a wisp. lol How many lit cigarettes cause false alarm calls to 911 dispatch in 10 years? Answer: none. Okay I think that takes care of the smoke thing permanently..

In the suburbs. Still in town.
And it was light fog. You could see the sky just fine but on ground level the fog was visible. It was cold enough that breath made vapor smoke or whatever you'd call it.
The 'seeing my cig' theory isn't even tenable. There's no way anyone would notice much less stop and look around because of it.
And people called me crazy? Whoever proposed the cig theory needs to take their meds.
