Civil suit without asking for money?

I tried to file a small claims and a civil suit, but both are requesting a dollar amount to sue for. I do not want any money at this time, I just want the court to stop him from spraying me and my car with water everyday. What is the right case to file, or should I just put a penny in for the amount?

Here’s the back story I’ll copy and paste-

I live in Phoenix (Maricopa county). My neighbor has a grass front lawn, and his sprinkler heads run parallel about 1 inch from our property line, which happens to be my driveway where I park my car. Consequently, my car gets covered with hard water several times a day, and at times I can not get in or out of my vehicle without getting wet. I spoke with him on two or three occasions about it and he kept saying he would change his setup but never did. The last time I spoke with him he became irate and kicked one of his sprinkler heads out of the ground.

After that incident I sent him a certified letter, with several pictures attached, explaining the above and showing the hard water damage to my vehicle. That stopped the water in the day but he would then turn it on in the middle of night and I would wake up to a hard water stained car. I have not spoke to him about it since the letter, and now he has it turn on more and more frequently. Today’s water blast was my last straw and I would like to ask the courts to help me protect my property from this neighbor.
Thanks surveyor, that significantly expanded my understanding of these types of cases. Much appreciated.

I did have my car washed like twice a week over it, and used my CC to pay most of the time so those receipts can be retrieved. The worst part of it is I used an automated one and the brush left wear marks above my window from going so much. I should have just sued him sooner, this has been going on for 3-4 months. Thanks again, hopefully I won’t have to worry about it soon.

It’s a free gym membership for inmates in Maricopa County jail in Phoenix. Sheriff Joe Arpaio, often called “America’s Toughest Sheriff”, is working hard to help First Lady Michelle Obama with her anti-obesity initiative.

For good cardiovascular health, a lower risk of heart disease, increased blood and oxygen flow, and overall weight loss, Sheriff Joe Arpaio has launched a program called, “Peddle Vision,” where inmates bicycle to create electricity that powers their television.

The tv is there. Now all inmates need to do is power it and they can enjoy hours upon hours of The View. Too bad Lance Armstrong didn’t think of this first. Imagine the sales in workout videos and the benefit to the planet, which of course would be negated when everyone plugged the videos into their electricity-powered entertainment systems.

You can’t win for losing.

But Sheriff Arpaio is doing it. He’s a true humanitarian. He’s not only helping these inmates gain self-confidence and a better self-image while giving them a svelte self, he’s also doing his part for the planet. Ed Begley Jr. needs an “I Heart Sheriff Arpaio” t-shirt.

Sheriff Arpaio hasn’t been well received in the media. TIME magazine has called him a “stern law-and-order advocate”, what his constituents have seen as a positive, who “has declared war on illegal immigration”. He’s also on ACLU’s short list of people they really don’t like.

He doesn’t mind. He isn’t shy about enforcing the law, since that’s his job, and his constituents relying on him to keep them safe apparently love him. He’s won all his elections with double digits.

“I will never back off from enforcing the laws of this county. They might as well get used to it. I am in this fight to stay,” he said on his website, SheriffJoe.org.

Of course, his actions are completely unfounded, especially in Arizona. They don’t have any illegal immigration issues. Or crime because of it.

A longtime rancher was killed on his Douglas-area property over the weekend, and neighbors worried that his homicide was connected to increasing border-related crime in the area.

Nope. No reason for Sheriff Joe Arpaio to be concerned about the safety of his citizens. No reason at all.

who golfs during oil spills? Who sings, “Hey Jude,” with l McCartney (of Britain) while the Gulf is suffering the worst environmental catastrophe in U.S. history?
Who is not worried about securing the borders when illegal foreign invaders from Mexico, Poland, the Middle East, Pakistan, violent drug cartels, and Hamas terrorists are doing the Conga line into Arizona as the first leg of their U.S. tour. Phoenix is now the #2 top kidnapping capital of the world, its police officers and residents are being threatened, and people are afraid for their lives and property ?
Who could declare the U.S. Constitution unconstitutional ?
