The homeowner's association in the community that includes the Orange County home of Casey Anthony filed an injunction last week to try to keep the protesters away.

However, a judge denied the HOA's request on Tuesday, saying the protesters were not given notice of the lawsuit.

"Where is that judge?" an angry neighbor said. "That is a joke."

During the latest community meeting, homeowners decided they will file the lawsuit again Wednesday, hoping the judge will see it their way.

"I hope it doesn't take someone getting seriously injured or hurt coming around that corner in an effort to have something happen," homeowner's association president Bill Fulton said.

Several homeowners decided to hand out notices to protesters Tuesday night to give them notice of the lawsuit.

Many refused to take the notices though.

"It is my Constitutional right to be here," protester Kathy Harris said. "I pay taxes the same way they do. I do charity work all the time. I'm a big child advocate."

"So, what job are you doing being out (at Anthony home)," Local 6's Erik von Ancken asked.

"I am saying, 'I'm here for Caylee,'" Harris said.

The First Amendment protects the protesters' right to stand and hold signs if they do it peacefully, Local 6 reported.

"I will stand outside here every night of my life until she comes out and says something," protester Ashley Pounds said.

Deputies said they will take action if people become aggressive and break the law.

"Those who are violating the law will be dealt with appropriately," Orange County sheriff's Capt. Angelo Nieves said.

Local 6 showed video of some protesters with an infant outside the Anthony home at 11 p.m.

A protester said the homeowners should focus their efforts on getting Casey Anthony out of the neighborhood.

Casey Released From Jail

Meanwhile, Casey Anthony bonded out of Orange County Jail on Tuesday after being held on charges of fraud.

Anthony and her attorney, Jose Baez, left jail after 1 p.m., following behind two men dressed in black.

They jumped in a vehicle and drove to the woman's home in Orange County.

Anthony did not answer reporters' questions during the walk out of jail.

Orange County sheriff's deputies took Anthony into custody Monday as she visited the jail to meet with her case manager about other charges.

Detectives have said lab tests show Caylee's decomposing body was in her mother's car, and Anthony is their only "person of interest" in the girl's disappearance.

Prosecutors have formally charged Anthony with child neglect, making false statements to investigators and 10 counts of theft, for allegedly buying goods with a friend's stolen checkbook. The Monday charges involved the same alleged theft from the same victim.

Detectives Leave Fla.

Meanwhile, detectives are leaving Florida to search for Caylee.

An Orange County Sheriff's Department official confirmed to Local 6 that investigators will be talking with possible witnesses outside the state for clues into the whereabouts of the child.

No other details were released about the search.

42 Police Calls Since July 15

The Orange County Sheriff's Office call log shows officers have been called to the Anthony home 42 times since July 15.

Deputies said 38 of the calls have been for disturbances, including a scene over the weekend when a mother brought her young children to the Anthony home late night.

During the incident, a 9-year-old's arm was slammed in a car door.

The Department of Children and Families is investigating the child's injury and why he was at the Anthony home at 12:30 a.m. on Sunday.

Neighbors said aggressive protesters are becoming a safety hazard.

The home owner's association filed an injunction to try to keep the protesters away from the neighborhood. However, a judge denied the HOA's request on Tuesday.

About 100 families are expected to meet Tuesday night at a HOA meeting to discuss what options they have concerning the protesters.

Expert: Casey Managed Emotions Well

A series of responses given by Anthony during police interviews are not consistent with a desperate mother who wants to find her daughter, a psychologist told Local 6.

"Most people who are interviewed by police officers don't manage their emotions that well," Dr. Deborah Day said of Casey Anthony during questioning over her daughter. "They get upset, they get agitated and they get angry."

Audio recordings of interviews conducted by investigators with Anthony were released Friday by the Orange County Sheriff's Office.

Day listened to the interviews and said she believes Anthony's tone and responses are detached.

"It is inconsistent," Day said. "That's a detachment. She is able to push her emotions aside during these interviews. I think she knows something. I don't know if she knows where her daughter is but she knows something."

In the taped interviews on July 16, detectives caught Anthony in a string of lies.

Day said Anthony managed the stress of questioning disturbingly well.

"What happened to Caylee," an investigator asks on the tape.

"I don't know," Casey Anthony said.

"Sure you do," and investigator said.

"I don't know," Anthony said.

"Listen, something happened to Caylee," an investigator said. "We're not going to discuss where the last time you saw her (was). I'm guessing something bad happened to her some time ago and you haven't seen her, so that part is true -- is you haven't seen her because she's somewhere else right now."

"She's with someone else right now," Anthony said.

"She's either in a Dumpster right now, she's buried somewhere, she's out there somewhere and her rotten body is starting to decompose because what you're telling us...," an investigator said. "Here's the problem. The longer this goes, the worse it's going to be for everyone. Right now, everything you've told us -- we've locked you into a lie. Every single thing that you've told us has been a lie."

Day said the only time she heard Anthony get emotional on released tapes is when she talks about her relationship with her mother, Cindy. and not her daughter, Caylee, Local 6's Jessica D'Onofrio reported.

A detective was pressing Anthony about how she wasn't living up to her mother's expectations.

Anthony has admitted to lying to several times during the police recordings but never gives any reasons why she is lying, D'Onofrio reported.
