Its because he feels he is above the law and can do what he wants because he has a little piece of shiny metal on his chest....that's it.If a city ordinance doesn't allow a sign then why are they allowed for elections,what about yard sale signs and signs that say congratulations you had a baby.Get real...the problem is the cop and the people who are against guns.Sorry but when it comes down to it I call a spade a spade and this touchhole in the cruiser just thinks he will do whatever he wants because he is king kong cop.Now he is feeling the heat a little,but I suspect nothing will be done about this at all.Off my rant....I am heading to camp!! I try to control myself, but I can never stop laughing when the word "touchhole" is used...lmao 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because (and i'm not defending this case, just a general observation) what you see does not always tell the whole tale. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 Yes, sometimes a video clip can be like a certain phrase being taken out of context to prove something that indeed is not a fact. When my sign was stolen, that thought did run through my mind that perhaps I was a bit too close to the road and someone may have legally confiscated it. That probably was not the case, but I suppose it is possible. One looks at the picture and sees mowed lawn and assumes that it was on private property. A mowed lawn does not indicate any kind of boundary. I see all kinds of properties where the home owner mows right to the shoulder of the road. That does not mean that just because he mows it, that it is his private land. I can see a point of view where someone could look at a sign containing political information being placed on public property as being something that should be legally removed. And I doubt tat there is any requirement that the official needs to go find the owner and tell him that it is being confiscated. However, in this case, regardless of the legalities, that may be simply being a jerk ( my version of sanitizing my language .... lol), but may not fit the definition of being theft.

growalot Posted September 27, 2013 Author Share Posted September 27, 2013 It is his land paid for...he is paying taxes on that land...but it has a town ,village or state easement written into the deed and there are rules and regulations written for those easements....side walks in a village...it is up to the land owner in some villages to maintain the side walk in front of their house...if the town deems it necessary to replace that side walk..the land owner can get a bill for that .....

ants Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 Did a little looking (man that was hard given google and everything) The guy admits that neighbors complained about the sign, that he received a letter from the town stating that the sign was in violation of town code and he states that it was "entirely possible that the police had the legal right to take the sign" He added that he was looking into how to pursue the matter.

ants Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 All I said the whole time, and in fact the only thing Im saying now is, " there is a possibility that there is another explanation? " The long time cop basher of the forum , and a few other people didn't want to hear it. Now that there is a good possibility that the cop was not at fault, they have nothing to say.

What info do you have that the town supervisor is "looking out for the sign kicking cop"? Is there actually information to back that up or are you just making more BULL S@%T assumptions ?

In reality, it's the tax payers themselves who cause the Police to have to waste their time on trivial nonsense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fu2lmao Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 That reply doesn't warrant a well thought out response but here's a cheap shot. I see you are from the town of Cicero, the same town which constantly debates whether the town should be policed by the sheriffs office or the town police. Instead of doing the fiscally responsible thing they continue with the redundancy of two police agencies. Knowing this I am not surprised by your response.

No..you're doing the exact thing others are doing by desperately, DESPERATELY trying to make a cop out to be a criminal for removing a cheap, home made lawn sign that was in all likelihood place in violation of a town code. Of course you and your ilk wont bash the town for having the law, but you bash the cop because thats what you people do. I will give you credit though...at least you hung in there after most of the bashers ran away when other information, about the incident, was presented. I give you half a ball. Good job.

fu2lmao Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 JJ I don't disagree with the ridiculous calls they receive from people with low coping skills who dial 911 for trivial stuff. That is no fault of their own and I commend them for responding to these calls with a professional demeanor and a straight face. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
