This City Will Fine You for Mismatched Blinds 

The gardener😢

The taxpayer apparently.

Don't give them any idea's, that would be perfect set up , we pay city fines with Public money ,self financing

Wonder if any one on that council has received fines. They are making a problem worse...those poor people living through a city wide out of control home owners association- esque nightmare!

Don't pay the fines cause a riot get national attention seems like the only way to get stuff done anymore

It sounds like a whole lot of people have damages coming to them. From the looks of this video half the town or more deserve restitution for having had their lives made miserable for a long time. When you buy a home you don't expect to live as if you're in an army barracks subject to constant intrusive inspections.

When ever a city pays for a wrong doing they pay with your money, tax money that is.

@@bonouknow6265 there's no way around that but every city official connected to this travesty should take a hefty pay cut till every wronged resident is made whole. The well-off who probably weren't much inconvenienced by these ordinances were just as responsible as anyone else for electing this city government and if the taxes raised to compensate the victims were weighted/selected to cost them more that would be fair. I know that isn't how these things usually work out but just sayin'.

@@dontaylor7315 ~ The voters can change what is wrong with the government. Problems arise when national newz minimally present the WRONG done by those elected to PROTECT & SERVE. And the sheeples are easily misled.

@@bonouknow6265 which brings us back to greed and the root of most social/political evils, corporate ownership of government and media at the national level and, at the microcosmic level, local corruption like the racket being run in this video. I wonder if the victims most harmed by these ordinances even vote. If not, they'd better start. I often say: You don't do politics? Then politics is doing you.

I was thinking it sounds like an HOA.

HOAs are gangster organizations and it is one of my missions to at least push the needle closer to making them illegal under any circumstance. Few people hate the very concept of HOAs more than me. Here's the thing- it's not so bad to have a non-enforceable non-mandatory group which solicits of voluntary contributions from residents towards the common areas, but the moment they dare step over someone's property line and issue commands or demands that is where they should have absolutely zero legal standing because that is a crime!!!!! WHAT YOU DO ON YOUR PROPERTY OR HOW YOU DECORATE IT IS YOUR BUSINESS!! IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE WITH ANYONE ELSE'S APPROVAL. HOAs ARENT GOVT AND THEY HAVE *NO* MORAL OR JUSTIFIABLE RIGHT TO TELL YOU WHAT TO DO ON YOUR PROPERTY OR HOW TO MAINTAIN IT. THAT'S FOR THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT TO SAY. HOAs ARE PRIVATE ORGANIZATIONS ERGO THEY HAVE NO POWER OF ENFORCEMENT, AND NO POWER OF DEMAND. THEY ARE EMPTY WORTHLESS ENTITIES. HOAs ARE ACTING LIKE STATE ACTORS AND THAT IS WHERE PEOPLE NEED TO CHALLENGE THEM UP TO EVERY STATE'S SUPREME COURT!! HOAs ARE CRIMINAL.

Um, sir, from now on I'm saluting the uniform.

Refunded 10x

Malia Kapner It’s these rediculous laws that threaten out liberty!

They should also get interest on that money, like the 100% interest the city was charging them.

I'd also award them extra besides a refund at this point, the ones who went to jail should be awarded some kinda compensation.

Sounds like Jim Crow. I have seen this kind of nonsense all over the South, any "open container' outdoors is illegal, even in your back yard. When I lived in Orlando friends lived in an apt complex that was patrolled by police with dogs and they would arrest people for having a drink on their patio. I went out and they screamed and dragged me back in, its kind of crazy how they try to get you to fear the police state.

Stop voting democrats

That town is run by a Democrat. If people want things to change, don't vote Democrat.

That happens in a lot of towns these days. In the town where I live.. there was a resident that had to go in the hospital due to cancer. When he was released from the hospital about a week later and came home, 2 police officers came over to his house and wrote him a ticket for his grass being too tall. So the resident whom had terminal cancer, went outside and mowed his yard with the pushmower. After he finished mowing his yard, the 2 police officers returned and wrote him a 2nd ticket because his lawnmower blew grass clippings on the street while he mowed the yard. His tickets were expensive, $100 ticket because his yard wasn't mowed for a week & another $100 ticket for the grass clippings in the street. It's crazy.. cops do nothing but write tickets all day for anything they can think of. Whenever there's a real crime such as a burglary or anything.. cops rarely show up or they wait till about a day later to do a report because they are too busy writing tickets to generate revenue.

@James B Right, it's a Democrat issue and would never happen with the Good Ol' Party. Honestly, that's just a corruption problem where party affiliation it's pretty much irrelevant. Why is this shit legal to begin with, though?

That's why federal case was taken up. What that city was doing was completely against the constitution. Just because we are the land of the free doesn't mean there won't be some whom think they can get away with taking those freedoms.

"land of the free"? you mean that small piece of land within the "land of the free" by the way it is still land of the free cuz they have the freedom to have that law thrown out.....

z lariviere20 They meant free speech... if it was not “land of the free” the creators of this video would get arrested for a couple years.....

AKzebraMiner, well, no, it's not all or nothing. Here in the UK we have no implicit free speech rights, but you can criticise the UK government all you like in a video. In Russia you can even do the same, although Putin might assassinate you if you do it too often.

@@basspig That's the movie I was thinking of but there have been a lot of versions of that type of film.

That's the problem , The American Dream is only a dream.

The American Dream Died in the 40s and 50s! Business doesn't grow at a rate proportionate to the population growth because of taxes and over regulation therefore not enough jobs,not enough jobs mean wages stay low,low wages means the population doesn't have enough money for any part of the American Dream. Households become dual income which leads to kids being exposed to outside influences more at a younger age by being in daycare. Marriage falls apart at this point just haven a functional family is a dream. This didn't just happen,it was orchestrated as a way to brainwash and enslave the American people. We now fear each other more then ever and because of this we can never unite to change our own government. Love your neighbor more then you love yourself.can any of us say we follow this?

Oh, my point was that that classic american dream is literally illegal, not that it was or wasn't obtainable. I wasn't really trying to start a socioeconomic discussion. 😅 But true, true. These are things to be concerned about, policies. attitudes, and the new social norms are really alienating us from society. That's why I love groups and charities like this law firm that help fight against these kinda things.

In America you cannot dream it's illegal.

@@ArshadKhan-ys9ey Not only that they're usually the first ones to introduce legislation to make HOAs more powerful.

The U*S*S*R* had better conditions

There's not much difference between HOAs and local zoning\ building boards. Both are beaurocratic and severely restrict people's rights to do what they want with their own property and charge wannabe homeowners fees for the privilege of living in their own homes. Just about the only difference between HOAs and local zoning boards is every neighborhood has the latter, but not ever neighborhood has the former.

donald breaux That money was spent and gone long ago.

Actually the mayor who is also the head of the housing commission had the police chief fired. Cited reasons? She did not know where he was and thought he spent too much time helping kids than enforcing laws. IE she never went to the police station to see he was in his office. And didn't care he was keeping kids from getting into trouble. But needed him writing more tickets to evict citizens. Check a few other articles. This mayor and her council sound crooked to the core. They don't care if a house has plumbing or electricity. It must look good on the outside. 'Nuisance' appearances may result in demolition.

Yup. Sounds like racketeering to me.

Finally, I've run into people who think and do like me which I consider them Patriots. I thought I was the ONLY man in America with balls enough to do the right thing. I've lived my entire life since returning from Viet Nam with the attitude and philosophy to never start trouble but NEVER walkaway from it either. Right is right and wrong is wrong. Nice gets nice and not nice gets horror. I lost the human sense of fear and developed a don't give a shit attitude while killing commies in Viet Nam. I'm not saying that I haven't run into problems and even trouble of all kinds in my life, from time to time, but I am going out as even as I can possibly be under the circumstances. When people know you are deadly serious when you tell them that you will always get out to get even that gives even the FBI cause to think about going home that night. When they think you are an insane combat veteran who just wants to be left alone and doesn't ever go out of his way to start or cause trouble then they start thinking about never seeing their family again. Home for me is with my childhood friends and buddies who never came home including those who have died since returning from Agent Orange. Dying in a senseless, meaningless, stupid war that had no meaning while your country hated and despised me and those who returned must be revenged on its face. Fuck with me and I will get even no matter what until I am dead. That is the ONLY way the Constitution is MADE to work. No one gets out alive so live right or go out as a coward.
