Sacramento County ban on home “major auto repair”
For me personally, I see little difference between this and the formation of your average lynch mob. Just my opinion.
As far as code enforcement, allow me to relate a personal story.
In 2015, in Kansas City, I got pulled over outside Kansas City, for failing to signal a turn. The officer informed me that I had Kansas City warrant for my arrest, but because all of Kansas city PD was working the world series and wouldn't pick me up until the next day, he was letting me go. Nice guy.
Also, the first time I've EVER had a run in with law enforcement beyond a traffic ticket. I was shocked.
Why a warrant? The previous February, some one broke a window in my rental house in KC. I put up the exact same piece of plywood that the city had on that window before I bought the house and rehabbed it.
The city gave me a code violation for peeling paint on that plywood. In February. When I pointed out that you can't paint when it's below freezing, they gave me a six month extension. I got a warm weekend and painted it with a couple weeks (knowing I would replace the window within a month. I notified code enforcement and they said it was all good.
They didn't file their paperwork, and -> I <- got a warrant for peeling paint.
That is FUCKED UP. What about the little old lady that can't afford to paint her house? I almost got ARRESTED, which could have cost me my job, caused me to spend hundreds of dollars to get my car out of impound, and required a lawyer to make even remotely right, all at my expense. And the city liability in the issue? ZERO.
That is NOT how this country it's designed and bound by the constitution to work. No due process. No innocent until proven guilty, and certainly no accountability for the tyrants that enacted this crap.
There wasn't a problem until they created one, and then held me accountable for solving it, even after I jumped through every hoop they had.
It's a solution in search of a problem. Just so some bureaucrat can justify their own existence.
So now my attitude is thus:
