“[Police Chief John] Askey also said he was embarrassed to learn that the “anonymous complaint” lodged with the Building Department against the Lloyd Taco Truck on Monday came from one of his own officers, who has relatives in the restaurant business and called in the complaint as a private citizen.”
We call that “crony capitalism”.
Did not this man know that all things are forbidden unless authorized in advance?
All this mess started by yet another crooked cop?
I’m shocked.
Food truck man broke the Golden Rule... Those who have the
gold make the rules.
Oh... and one other thing... That Cop wouldn’t give a rats
a$$ about the stupid fee if it didn’t go to help pay his
bloated benefits.
“Gee, buddy, it’d be a reeeeaaalll shame if somethin’ happened to your business. Maybe we can help you wid dat...”
Pete might want to reconsider locking in for a peddler’s permit as the new food truck permits are likely to be much more.
When a LEO uses his uniform, or conspires with another to so do, a Federal felony occurs. That LEO conspired with a bureaucrap to infringe the Constitution guarantees of teh lunch truck owner because the LEO called in a complaint knowing there was no law on the books.
Hopefully, the lawyers at the Institute for Justice think “1983”.
