not to mention the military moms got permission from the city!

The Military Moms sign are a whole different thing. It is patriotic and they won't be stapled or taped on which looks like a mess and hard to clean up. They should be put up on 11th street though.

JimF,

That doesn't sound legal or prudent.

What if one of those signs that someone kicks over because you told them to do so is legally posted then your idea turns residents into criminals.

I read on a different discussion topic that you work with Tracy's troubled kids, based on your comments here you sound like one of those troubled kids.

We don't need vandalism of property because someone doesn't like something. We have a process and now we need to get the city to follow it, or for the city to publish guidelines that residents can carefully follow to help.

Does anyone know if it is legal for residents to remove a sign from city property or private property they do not own even if is illegally posted?<br><br>Post edited by: Chris Smith, at: 2008/03/02 04:21

Try me, let's see if I would be prosecuted for picking up a piece of litter on public property.
I think I am on a firm standing with a jury of my peers. If your signs are disappearing, then it is because no one wants to see them posted illegally.

Check this out first JimF for your protection. I didn't start this comment section to have people act like criminals, but to start calling in these offenses.
