LOL!!! That's the equivalent to removing a parking boot from your car: Felony Destruction of Property.

Not to mention the endangerment caused by downing a live power line... A 12 KVA bare wire laying on the ground isn't something any sane person should want to be near.

This is not the same as jumping the fence to notify a property owner you are working on the property where there is an easement.

If someone is jumping my fence locked fence, trespassing.

Well, typically if there's an easement on the property, you won't be allowed to have a fully LOCKED fenced-in yard unless you keep an area accessible for the easement. This is why permits are required for such simple things as fences.

Yes, but the OP is required to jump a locked fence and notify them he is working on the property.

Yeah... well his company shouldn't really have anything WITHIN the fenced-in area unless:

1: Property owner requested utility add-ons after the house was built (unlikely.)
2: Property owner built fence without permit (also unlikely)


So I agree... Working in the same field, I find that rather strange.

I am sure something happened. It might have been covered up but they could not have just let it go.

I recall that later in life he had power turned back on and they charged him for the power pole. But thats all. It may be because it was a Coop and he was a part owner if he had power with them.

Actually, permits are not required for fences anywhere in the country.
Again, any law that requires permits for fences does not reconcile with private property.

Yes. They are generally required. The construction of any structure on a property generally requires a permit.
