City: Quarter-toting ‘Robin Hooders’ must back off.

[UglyGreed]

KEENE, N.H. (AP) — The antics of a group of self-styled Robin Hoods has a New Hampshire town pressing the state Supreme Court to force them to back off.

Officials in Keene say the merry band has gone beyond pumping quarters into expired parking meters and sometimes harasses the parking enforcement officers. They’ve asked the courts to force the activists to keep their distance from the civil servants they say are just trying to do their jobs.

But the first round went to the protesters after a lower court ruled their actions amount to protected political expression that can’t be restricted.

Lawyers for Keene argue that a buffer zone of 15-feet around their parking enforcement officers would not infringe on the free speech rights of the Robin Hooders. The justices have not indicated when they will rule.


Nothing more at the web site, not sure if this violates the TOS. Will delete if needed.

2. I do something else. When I see that someone has gotten a ticket, I tear it up and throw it away.

Who needs that shit, it would only ruin their day.

You're welcome America.







(So help me if anyone.....)

3. That's nothing. When I see a parking enforcement vehicle, I smash it with a baseball bat!

6. They should be able to put the quarters in but not harass parking enforcement officers.

They should be able to videotape or photograph them though.

8. The flip side of that coin was some years ago.......

.......a nearby suburb declared a parking holiday for about the last two weeks before Christmas to encourage local shopping and to denote this, they placed brown paper bags over all of the downtown meters. The Bozo that I was dating, who hadn't read about it in the paper or hear about it by word-of-mouth, assumed on his own that those bags must have been put over the meters by pranksters and went around one night taking them all off. Really annoyed me that he didn't get caught and given What-For over it.

What a dunce.
