Does this apply to State beaches within LA county as well, or just county beaches? There are both.
Kinda like that story the other day about playgrounds being empty because they’ve been turned into soft little jails wherein it is impossible to get hurt.
Too many frisbee-throwers must have broken ankles stumbling into holes more than 18 inches deep, I suppose...
They should keep it in cetain areas of the beach; there is nothing more annoying than being in the middle of a bunch of latecomers who can’t find room for their game (”Sorry dude” gets old the 3rd or 4th time). As a frequent visitor to the Jersey shore, I’d love to add a bunch of regulations myself, mostly to stop paper plates covered with greasy Brazilian barbecue sauce from blowing around like a tickertape parade of smelly flypaper. No more gnawed bones tucked in the sand (like cigarettes - I don’t mind if they smoke them, but when you see a cluster tucked in the sand as though it is a massive ashtray that is nasty), no more foreigners swimming in underwear (leaves little to the imagination, and I have kids), the list goes on and on...
Before anyone fires away and calls me a “fascist”, I’ll save you the trouble: I’m a fascist. I believe Darth Vader was right to want to bring order to the galaxy...
People can drown in the water. People get sunburn laying near naked in the sun plus its a cancer hazard. The days for recreation at the beach are numbered.
It is also amusing to consider that they can always find chumps to be the cops and judges to enforce these laws. There will always be people willing to trade self respect and dignity for a paycheck.They always have the Nuremburg defense.
Cops have become overpaid and corrupt GED educated thugs. These are folks who would otherwise work the drive through at Taco Bell. Judges and prosecutors are just unemployed personal injury lawyers or out of work State Legislators. I am amazed that “we” subject ourselves to these kind of swine.
The politicians who pass these laws can always sell shiite sandwiches by promising safety and order to an undereducated populace.
Well Marcia Brady approves, especially footballs.
Actually I see their point but there are always going to be rude, thoughtless people and you can’t put them all in jail.
You just shoot them.
This can’t be real, right? Com’n, this HAS to be a joke, is MTV somewhere filming an episode of “Punk’d?” You know what, we ain’t going to have to wait for Red China or Iran to blow us up, we are doing a dang good job of it ourselves. Hearing this, there are days that I do think that it is time to thin the herd. Costa Rica is looking good too.
I wonder if this s**t will come to Florida.
I have yet to hear of one major injury involving a Frisbee or a football at the beach.
BTW: How do you play water polo OVER the ocean?
If you tightly control the little things, the big things will come easily.
Then, on second thought, they may tell you that you CAN'T wear underwear - it might inhibit sexual predatory recreation!
Are you still allowed to ogle the beach bunnies, or is that illegal too? Probably only legal to ogle someone of the same sex as yourself, this being California.
Perhaps a little sand in the face?
What the hell good is the beach if you can't run your dog after a frisbee.
I can see the law being extended to parks soon, after all, they play football and frisbee there as well.
Effin fools, and the fools who put them there.
So I guess drunk drivers can still drive up and down the beaches. G-d forbid you get hit with a Frisbee or football or sumpthin’ airborne.
Goes along with the statewide $558.00 fine for first time offense of a slow right turn where there is a red light camera. Used to be called, “California stop.” (Actually $479 plus $79 to avoid the one point that could double your insurance). Ain’t socialism great!
I knew people who lived in LA were Stepford people.
La la land.
I can’t stop laughing since I read this story. I wonder if the chuckleheads that voted for this can be identified.
Consequently, government feels obliged to legislate against it. No footballs, no frisbees, no smoking, no drinking, no tasty foods, no moving around on the streets and highways without your government-mandated seatbelt in your government-designed and approved conveyance.
Everything not prohited is mandatory.
Might as well just go ahead and prohibit everything but sneezing and sex (unless of course, the sex results in another human being being brought into the ecosystem).
