Pay for it by making expected and normal behavior illegal, with massive $1000 fines!
Some families who didn't get the news are in for a big surprise. There goes the family vacation budget flushed on the big govt vacuum
Good lord, this can’t be constitutional! 8th Amendment issue if nothing else. $1,000 fine for throwing a frisbee? Nobody is going to go to the beach anymore. They’d make a lot more money charging a small access fee.
Dumber than a bag of hammers...
Nanny State PING!
LA is going to make a mint off of the tourists!
You’re kidding, right?
It’s okay for illegal aliens to be here, drive without a license or insurance, send their unholy spawn to public schools on our dime, but don’t you dare throw a ball or frisbee at the beach.
Wow. I’m sure glad those jackasses in downtown LA have their priorities straight.
What about playing volleyball at the beach? That’s really popular in Santa Monica (which is part of LA).
See my tagline.
You want to live in California? You pay for the privilege. Just another reason to never, ever, visit that state again in my lifetime.
if I do it are Pamela Lee Anderson and Carmen Electra coming to make the arrest?
From the artcle:
“While this may mean that some families keep footballs and Frisbees at home, they may consider bringing a yard stick. The board also prohibited digging a hole in the sand deeper than 18 inches.”
No digging holes to China anymore?!?!? What is this world coming to these days?
Does NY Mayor Bloomberg get to rule over the LA jurisdictions as well? Buncha pansies regulating good, clean fun but giving perversions a free pass.
At least the ordinance has a beach volleyball exemption....
...otherwise there would be no reason to watch ESPN2 ever again.
So, now a guy can’t show how cool is he when he catches a pass? That’s horrible!
Today in America every citizen is dominated by a thousand laws covering the most mundane of every day tasks.
Today in America 99% of the population will break some law that will make them a criminal in the eyes of the government overlords.
Today in America you are a small infraction away from potential ruin.
Today in America you are NOT free, you are slaves to a government.
The rich California Democrats hate it when all those little people spoil the view on their beach.
The rich California Democrats are fine with middle class jobs leaving California. Reduces the traffic.
Thank god I left the hell hole of LA back in 2004.
Can’t believe I actually lived there for 20 years before wising up...
Hey, but if you are an L.A. school teacher, can you still at least take your kids alone to the beach and molest them, and keep collecting your pension?? Sure?? Oh, whew, I was worried for a moment there.
WOW—they are really crazy in LA LA Land!!!
I see more and more public places like beaches prohibiting smoking too.
I mean, there are perfectly good and acceptable places for these activities.
If you want to throw a football, find a public football field.
If you want to toss a Frisbee then find a public Frisbee fie....oh...hold on...no...wait a sec.
Ummm...nevermind.
I would find the office that came up with this stupid rule and pitch a frisbee at every head there.
Civil society is made less civil when criminal law is made to criminalize every activity or behavior which only has some modicum of potential harm if everyone involved, participant and observer, behave negligently.
The use of criminal law to make any behavior the political
class choses as illegal for some, mere, perceived possible harm and only a potentiality under certain, not just any circumstance, and not because such harm is certain either, is destructive of the essential Liberty required for a free society.
Civil courts, where one litigant can claim the other was negligent, and the adjudication of civil suits, provides sufficient legal remedy for actual harm without denying Liberty for everyone on the mythical whim of creating an accident free Utopia.
I would guess the politicos and cops are too stupid to see this in advance. Likely won't work out well for them.
