If you want to know about political signs, read the regulation book above.

You know _actually_ find out answers to the questions youre asking…

Vlad did you read the entire thread? Unless the guy who owned the sign is lieing he stated he recieved a verbal OK to have the sign there from a town official. Also I would think that the town would have to notify the guy to remove the signs before sending somebody to remove them. Which in fact the officer did not do. He destroyed the sign first then removed it, 2 distinctly different actions. Had the cop pulled the sign out of the ground put it in his car and placed a notice on the home owners door there would be no arguement about his conduct. He acted in an unprofessional manner and it is clear that this is a targeted behaviour since other illegal signs haven’t been removed. Personally I hope the cop and the department get crucified and this event helps fuel the anti safe act fire.

Edit: I have no idea where you get this stuff from about gently taking the sign out of the ground. If something is in violation an officer will fix it without regards to the property damage.

You’re speeding? Pit maneuver, spike strips.

You’re illegally parked? You will be moved.

You put up an illegal sign, you’ll be warned and then it will be removed. Read the rule book above.

All I’m seeing is a whiny little cry baby who without any regards or the legal means of doing what he wanted to do, doesn’t get what he wants and now he’s bitching because it’s not happening his way. If he did it by the book and either got the permit or was far enough from the road with the sign to be legal and this happened it would be a whole another story. But he didnt, so it doesnt matter.

oh like this?

The U.S. Supreme Court has held that homeowners have a  
constitutionally protected interest in placing political signs on their  
own property when the municipality permits other kinds of lawn  
signs. In City of Ladue v. Gilleo, the U.S. Supreme Court declared  
63  
a city ordinance to be unconstitutional which prohibited homeowne15  
from displaying any signs on their property except residence  
identification signs, “for sale” signs, and signs warning of safety  
hazards. The City did permit commercial establishments, churches,  
and nonprofit organizations to erect certain signs that were not  
allowed at residences. In finding the ordinance unconstitutional, the  
U.S. Supreme Court held that even though they may regulate the  
physical characteristics of signs, local governments may not allow  
some signs and ban others based upon their content. The City of  
Ladue’s ordinance was simply too broad and effectively eliminated  
residential political signs — an important method of expressing  
political speech

so still where in that does it allow a cop to come and destroy your property?

oh btw, that is talking about a sign that was legal, then became illegal due to a new regulation, so was the sign in question once legal?

btw i haven’t read the thread, or am going to read up on it, bc i really don’t care and it’s more amusing to point out the holes in your case as your trying to play the other side and see you then trying to find something that backs you up.

D. If any sign is erected, altered, or moved in violation of the  
provisions of this chapter, proper officials may, in addition to  
other remedies, institute an appropriate action to prevent such  
unlawful operation.  
E. Upon failure to comply with any notice within the  
prescribed time, the Enforcement Official shall remove or  
cause removal, repair, or conformance of a sign, and shall  
assess all costs and expenses incurred against the owner of the  
building or land on which the sign is located.  
F. All costs and expenses incurred by the Town of Ithaca in  
causing the removal or repair of any sign, as specified in this  
section and § 221-10, shall be collected from the owner of the  
premises on which such sign is located. Payment shall be  
made in not less than five days after the receipt of a written  
demand. Upon failure to make such payment, such costs and  
expenses shall be assessed against said owner and shall be  
[FONT=serif]paid and collected as part of the Town and county tax next  
due and payable. In addition, the Town may commence any  
other action or proceeding to collect such costs and expenses.

I dont need to defend the town any more than I have. Show me where they aren’t allowed to damage the non conforming sigh that is due for removal?

the guy was told by the town he could leave up the sign after his neighbor complained.

If it was legal for the cop to destroy and remove his sign, why did the cop wait till after midnight to remove it? Why didn’t he just knock on his door and ask the man to take the sign down?

Fucking America.

You should be allowed to put WHATEVER you want on your property / thread. No one else pays your damn property taxes, who cares what is on your flipping lawn.

This is the exact reason why we purchased property AWAY from everyone else. No road frontage so we can do whatever the F we want on our OWN property.

All I have to say about this is that the issue should have been treated a little bit more cautiously. This literally throws massive amounts of fuel on a fire that’s already pretty huge. Whether or not either side is right, a picture (in the right or wrong context) is worth a thouand words.

Now, I know I’m “not right” for thinking this, but the whole “You live in my house(or county), so you have to play by my rules” thing with these local governments pisses me the fuck off. Some rules are there to keep the community in good condition and prevent so called crap from moving in/taking over, but there are a lot of ordinances that are overbearing… That’s one of the many reasons I’m moving out of the City/Suburbia where I can sort of do as I please.
