'Grass Cops' Watch for Overgrown Lawns

My Way News ^ | Aug 22

If they take more than half an ounce of clippings from your lawn you face a charge of excessive grass posession.

Liberty.....liberty.....liberty....

What does that word mean again?

[TXBSAFH]

I #%$^&%*&^)(*&)&^ hate Lawn Nazis!!!!!!!

[One Proud Dad]

Maybe one should kill all the grass and just have a dirt yard just for spite.

[L98Fiero]

I say pave it and paint it green.

they really need to come to my town, my neighbor has not cut his lawn yet this year(no exageration)

When we bought our first house, I had to explain to my wife that the friggin lawn was not going to be a new way of life for me. I'm not the guy who's gonna spend hours every week with fertilizer and specialized equipment to grow grass.

But 8", 12" high grass? That's ridiculous.

sounds like towson is about to pull a Detroit.

[Gefreiter]

Hello, rock garden!

[Freebird Forever]

A couple of grazing sheep will tackle the problem.

I had a neighbor that let their whole yard get overgrown and never treated their above ground pool. It turned black. I guess their liberty prevents the health department from giving them a citation.

One of my neighbors is a "grass vigilante." Takes it upon himself to call the code officer whenever anyone's lawn gets too shaggy.
The code officer, however, is a very cool guy, and tells everyone that the grass vigilante is an @$$h....

A quick perusal of the various stories and articles that make it to FreeRepublic show that a manic obsession with litigation and those who abuse the legal system, from neighborhood lawn cops to federal judges are the overwhelming problem in the good ol' USofA. We live in a land where a good lawsuit is considered a retirement plan.

We had a neighborhood busy body who called the town when I was away on a 3 week vacation because our hedge was too tall. It was 2" over the 36" max. Typical liberal, call the government when a simple, "hey neighbor I am having difficulty backing my car out of the driveway because I cannot see over the hedge" would have sufficed.

I was not sorry she died a few months later. She was a bitch from day one. Her husband and daughter were the nicest people you ever meet but she was a waste of space.

If the Nanny State doesn't like my lawn, they can come and mow it anytime they want. It's a free country -- if that's how someone chooses to spend their time, that's their business. But I ain't paying.

I'm sure helps your property value...But don't infringe on his "liberty" to destroy the value of your house -sarcasm

Didn't Rader, the BTK Killer, do that tape-measure thing as a Code Enforcement guy?

[proudofthesouth]

Put down astroturf.

[ShadowAce]

What's a "neighbor"? I don't have any.

I've cut my "yard" once so far this year. I don't any actual grass, as it's mostly weeds that grow up around all the trees I have.
