"The Brighton City Council on Thursday approved an ordinance allowing police in the Livingston County community to ticket and fine anyone who is annoying in public "by word of mouth, sign or motions."

that takes care of any and all peaceful protests doesnt it? way to work around banning civil protests.

Wtf!!!

 

[socialize_me]

Cool so can I ticket a policeman anytime they have "routine traffic stops"?? That shit gets annoying..

Can I fine the city for having annoying ordinances?

 

[Michigan11]

WTF? I'm actually going to Brighton tomorrow, maybe I'll spit when I talk in public.

Either way, another great opportunity to wake people up!

You think people get angry when they get a parking ticket... This is going to make things Worse.... Yet in a way better for us because its going to wake people up.

lmfao.... Found the ordinance from Brighton's webpage : http://www.brightoncity.org/ReferenceDesk/PressReleasesAndPublicNotices/2008/ord%20544%20publication.pdf

"II. Chapter 54, Article IV, Section 54-98 is hereby amended to read as follows.
Sec. 54-98. Insulting, harassing, etc., others.
(a) It shall be unlawful for any person in the city to insult, accost, molest or otherwise annoy, either by word of mouth, sign, or motion any person in any public place."

Being molested is just soooo annoying these days....

Well they are 24 years behind schedule, looks like they are just trying to make up for lost time. (1984 was 24 years ago)

Well this is the government we're speaking of, so I'd say an extra 24 years chalked up to inefficiency is about right....

 

[Bodhi]

Wow, that is just insane.

 

[heavenlyboy34]

Who gets to be the annoyance czar?

 

[Kludge]

Lol... I want to run into a politician while in a public place and call the police on him because his walking motions are "annoying".

 

[LiveToWin]

Who gets to be the annoyance czar?

The Police
