There are only two ways to see my dad's old van, without trespassing on private property. Here's the view from Northside Drive:
And here's the view from Columbia Highway:
Anyone -- like, say, Officer Bue -- who gets any closer to the van than these two camera positions, can only do so by trespassing on private property. Assume for the moment that you are stupid enough to consider "flat tires on a vehicle parked in a private driveway" to be some sort of crime. Would anyone go so far as saying that this "law" should be enforced, even when it means that, in order to detect the "crime," a police officer must trespass on private property? Unlikely.
Speerites like to call this harrassment -- which, "coincidentally" began a few days after I gave Allen Barrett a couple thousand business cards to spread around, in order to promote this blog -- a "Quality of Life" law. But whose quality of life has been enhanced??? Not mine-- I've got to pay a fine of over a hundred bucks. And not my neighbors, since none of them ever filed a complaint with the police. Surely not the folks who buzz by on Columbia Highway, blissfully unaware that a heinous "crime" is being committed right under their very noses.
I don't think ANYONE'S "quality of life" has been enhanced by the mindless enforcement of this purported law. This whole ludicrous enterprise has been pure and simple harrassment, most likely aimed at "punishing" me for allowing the "little people" to anonymously express their opinions on this blog.
On the other hand, if it's been something other than spiteful harrassment, it is probably time that officer candidates at PPD receive CAT scans of their head, before receiving their tin badges. I'm pretty sure that no-one with more than half a brain, would stoop to enforcing a law as utterly ridiculous as the one I'm accused of breaking!
