Un-Civility

Girl Scouts in Violation of City Code

The city of Hazelwood, Missouri recently enforced its Home Occupancy Code, which states that city residents cannot sell products from home. This "enforcement" was brought against two Girl Scouts selling Girl Scout Cookies in the front yard. This followed an anonymous complaint that dogs were barking because of the girls’ sales of cookies. I guess no one in the city had the balls to say to the complainant, "Get a life, asshole, and don’t call back unless you leave your name!"

Here’s a good opportunity for a young hotshot lawyer to step up and take on the City of Hazelwood. Has anyone in Hazelwood ever sold a car from his or her driveway? Oops, Code Violation. Anyone ever have a yard or garage sale? Code Violation. Are there any Amway or Avon Distributors in Hazelwood? Oooh, don’t get me started! Are you selling on eBay? VIOLATION! You get the point.

Basketball Goal "Too Close to Road" in Cul-de-sac

In Wilmington, Delaware, several residents were sent letters last year warning them that the state's "Clear Zone" law prohibits trees and other objects from being within seven feet of the pavement's edge in a residential subdivision.
On Friday, March 25th, 2011, transportation workers and state police came to John and Melissa McCafferty’s neighborhood to remove several basketball goals that officials said were too close to the roadway. Using a front-end loader, they yanked the poles out of the ground and put them in a dump truck to be hauled away.
