I stated earlier that the current ordinance was flawed and part of the flaw is the procedure that was being followed. Items removed from both private and county owned property were being disposed of without the owner being able to retrieve items. E-mails records were filed for by hte plantif that showed horror stories of items such as Rolex watches hidden in coolers being thrown in the landfill. A tremndous amount of liability is involved with the enforcement process as implemented.
Vehicles left on right-of-way are impounded after being "tagged" and the time allowed for removal are not hauled directly to the landfill and that action only takes place on "public property".
I laugh at those who argue their position on issues by using the "wee bit different" viewpoint or the "butthead argument" for those that have the constitutional right to challenge the legality of an ordinance or how the "ordinance" is being enforced.
One should also note that the current poilicy does not prohibit the removal of items for safety reasons.
The county attorneys do not seem to mind writing ordinances that are overturned. They got paid for the original work and then they get paid for defending the flawed ordinance, and then the cycle starts over again. New ordinance - get paid again. Best of both worlds. The proposed Noise ordinance will also be challenged and the cycle continues.
