Now, that's funny right there.
Did they violate an ordinance or break the law in shooting them?

p.s.
All, I started a thread about this some years ago.
Unlike her, it wasn't pretty either.
Consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds.
Apologies to Waldo.

Tell you this also.
I wasn't the only one that didn't enjoy seeing derelict cars, next door to me.
The Greek priest across the street from me asked me questions, if i knew what was going on.
The girl that lives 2 duplex's down from me didn't want to put up with it either.
And another neighbor on the other side of the street at the next Court, was asking what's going on.
So i wasn't the only one in the neighborhood that what was going on, wasn't right.
So then, let me take the heat for all this then, and consider me the spokesman, to code enforcement when a complaint was initiated.
I just speeded up the process a bit, as code enforcement would have cited the violation anyway on their next patrol around the neighborhood.
I didn't do anything wrong, except give the officers a heads up, on the situation.
If i didn't do it, the Greek priest, or two other neighbors certainly would have, could have, also.
Amen!!!!!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:

Pretty vague.
1. Using tools not normally found in a residence;
Tools normally found in my residence differ greatly from the tools the 80 year old widow on the property next door might have in hers.
I have an overhead crane in my home shop. Wonder what the code enforcement guy would do about that?

The question isn't wether you can hide your work or close your garage door at the end of the day. It's wether you can do it at all.If I can't close the garage door at the end of the day and hide all signs of my work, it's probably not a project I should be doing at home.

It's great that you guys that have a "shop" garage, building, space, to do work, store, anything related to automobile work, are quite proud of what you have, and more power to you.I have an overhead crane in my home shop. Wonder what the code enforcement guy would do about that?

Hey guys, some of you folks just don't seem to get it at all, now do you.You should invite him underneath it! Maybe for a closer inspection.
That "shop" is ten times bigger than the places that i worked in when i was a wrenching, professional auto mechanic, earning my living, on top of this planet earth.I have an overhead crane in my home shop. Wonder what the code enforcement guy would do about that?

I apologize if you have misunderstood my post. It was aimed at AndyF who I think understands my humor. On another note I had a neighbor who became such a pain in the azz my wife and I dreaded coming home from work and eventually moved. U don't have time for the whole story but they tried to sue us 7 times because they were deadbeats and we made a better living than them.Hey guys, some of you folks just don't seem to get it at all, now do you.

Well I am glad I am out in the county here in a county that thinks the kinda hobby I have is cool. This kinda thing will never happen here......at least not in my lifetime.
People think that this is just a California problem for now! The bad news is what works for California big brother is being quickly adopted by other states politicians. Don't say never.! Stay alert.Well I am glad I am out in the county here in a county that thinks the kinda hobby I have is cool. This kinda thing will never happen here......at least not in my lifetime.
instead of walking over and having a conversation...are pussies
unless there is garbage piled up , or constant traffic in and out of someone's house
that's exactly what you did. the driveby red x without an explanation. talk about hypocrisy. I have neighbors that are exactly that... crackheads with constant traffic all day... all night. **** piled up to every edge of the property lines. I have walked over and had those conversations with them. guess what? they cleaned their shithole up. I didn't have to call the yard police. traffic in and out of that crack house has decreased substantially. I don't know why you decide to pick an argument with me , but I'm not a cop caller. the rest of us on our street handle **** like that ourselves. we don't have to go running to the phone to handle it .Like clicking "disagree" without making a counterpoint or even providing some substance?
So here we see you have your own set of criteria. Curious. Why would you take a dump on someone else's freedoms? Who are you to say how many visitors are too many? Maybe that person can't afford trash service or suffered an injury that has them too laid up to manage their rubbish? I'm sorry but the hypocrisy in your post is too blatant to ignore.
Look, man...everyone has an excuse and life always happens. Neither gives you or anyone else a free pass to hassle the general public. It's like when you leave late for work and the only way to get there on time is to drive 30 over the speed limit. That makes you a menace and wrong.
