“Those in gated communities will be immune to this ordinance, it’s OK”

Which means the ACLU could have a field day with this. It doesn’t sound like “equal protection” to me. ;-)

I don’t have much use for the ACLU. They are always on the wrong side of battles they choose to fight. In my opinion.

One point that everyone seems to be missing is this:

This law is a restriction on honest citizens who are minding their own business. It was created because of CRIMINALS, supposedly to protect citizens from criminals. The real solution would be better policing and rounding up the criminals who steal cars.

In most places, police make no effort whatsoever to recover a stolen car or to catch the thieves. So this law became necessary because of police REFUSING TO ENFORCE already existing laws. By refusing to enforce, they sent the message to car thieves that stealing cars is a low risk enterprise. In effect they have invited the thieves to steal.

When the cops start doing their jobs, the need for stupid laws like this one will go away.
