Also, you are forgetting that there could be different laws for posting a sign in the ground vs. posting on a telephone pole vs. posted on a building. There may also be a difference in the laws regarding the number of violations and the severity of the punishment. For instance, one sign violation may result in a verbal warning; multiple sign violations may result in a ticket; multiple sign violations using a destructive adhesive that caused estimated property damage of greater than $500 may result in a ticket and/or jail time.
As of right now, you are talking about something that you don’t know anything about. You don’t have all of the facts and you don’t have any of the background information necessary to determine who was wrong in this situation. Now who is the Einstein?
I guarantee grandma has never been detained for posting a lost cat or garage sale sign. And this is what makes this highly suspect and likely a violation of free speech.
Apparently not you...I have seen just about everything you’ve posted in your short tenure here on Free Republic...
So anyone who doesn’t know the Texas Penal Code cover to cover, are people that do not know what they are talking about??? Boy is that a gotcha if there ever was one...
Anyone else that has engaged you doesn’t have all the facts, yet you boldly make your own suppositions and we are supposed to just take your word for it??? hehehe, prove it...You claim to be a reserve Peace Officer in this state...Most Law Enforcement professionals I know, don’t write comments in the tone you are doing here...
As for my opinion of the kid here, I believe he was wrong in his methodology, and he was appropriately cited for it, something else is obviously happening here, and will come around with time...This will hash itself out with time...
But back to you...I’m not attacking you, I’m calling you out...
Telling someone they do not have all the facts, and that they do not have the background information doesn’t mean that your keyboard quarterbacking of this is any more credible, especially when you are in the same information loop as we are...
I seriously doubt that your tone will change if you choose to explain your reasoning in response to me, by all means prove me wrong...
I’m just giddy with excitement to see what you have in store for us...
What you describe is everything that makes living in an American City a nightmare. A law or a rule for everything because people don’t want to get along with each other on a personal level and demand the government intervene to regulate unicorn farts.
