To Wile
I am a Law enforcment officer in Walton County and what you are telling the fine citizens of this county is to commit THEFT. Here is the Florida statute.
812.014 Theft.--
(1) A person commits theft if he or she knowingly obtains or uses, or endeavors to obtain or to use, the property of another with intent to, either temporarily or permanently:
(a) Deprive the other person of a right to the property or a benefit from the property.
(b) Appropriate the property to his or her own use or to the use of any person not entitled to the use of the property.
I agree that there are ordinances concerning this matter but a private citizan cannot legally take these signs. This is the road department and code enforcements job. In short the signs are not yours. Didnt your mother teach you not to steal. Shame Shame.
Wear eye protection if you are going to do that. I hope their sign doesn't bop you on the head. You may have a good case for a lawsuit.A expandable tree pruner works well. Gives you quite a reach and collapses to a small size.
Are the signs on 283 current or a prior campaign like the one on 395 ?
With the proliferation of various type signs, there is a greater and greater tendency to move them closer to the road so they will stand out from the clutter. I saw a new one this morning on 30-a advertising a house rental that was right up against the roadway. Where are our code enforcement, etc. when they see this type of thing. It's not only illegal but unsafe if someone isn't watching and swerves off the road.
We need another coordinated effort against this like with the BBS's
Which shouldn't be an elected position in the first place. The superintendent should be hired by the school board for a more efficient operation of the school system.[/quote]Hmm - How about Supt. of Education ?
