Are you serious? Can you imagine the ENORMOUS waste of time and effort that would cause? How many illegally placed notices would this one employee remove in one day - from electric poles, garage signs in road medians, illegal signs placed on private property against the will of the owner, signs placed right at the road's edge (as this one was) do you expect this one employee deals with every day? It's a full time job removing people's illegally placed stuff in ROWs and other illegal places.
You put something on a ROW, it's going to be removed. Even if it's a sad little lost doggy sign, which we found out the hard way.
How much time, effort and tax money is wasted in paying people to go around the entire city and look for and confiscate improperly placed signage?
Is the difference of 10 feet really that important?
That criminal will soon be outed once they charge her which will be followed by a significant civil suit which should fester for years...nice move stupid
Sort of. Many neighborhoods don't allow anyone to post signs on their property, for this exact reason.
Also, it makes the street look kind of trashy if there are signs everywhere.
I know what you mean. I didn't like the looks of that stop sign out front or the school zone sign down the street... so I "removed" them at 2AM this morning.

I wish I could remove Notre Dame flags off of people's porches. I hate that school.
Well people are certainly getting passionate about their political views. This though is going to far, bordering on sick and twisted. Hopefully the individual will be prosecuted.
You have to buy them? Shows my naivete - I thought the campaigns gave them out. I've never come across a candidate I liked enough to have his or her name on my lawn so I've never sought them out. But I really did think they were goven out and paid for by the campaigns.
Here's the weird thing. In my experience, the minor candidates give them away and the major ones sell them. I went to a thing for Jay Stittleberg back when he was running for County Judge. He lost that race but he gave me a bunch of yard signs free. This year I looked into getting some signs. I never put them up but always consider it. I don't put them up because, as others have said, the signs don't change people's votes anyway and they just poke the bear. And people are always complaining about theft.
I have never witnessed theft or even yards missing signs around here, but then again, everyone puts up Trump and Blue Lives Matter or advertising signs, so maybe because everyone believes everyone else thinks the same way so they aren't stolen much after all. I went to a festival and discovered the Trump signs were $10, the Biden signs were $25 (they then reduced the "price" to a $10 donation,) and Jo Jorgenson, the Libertarian candidate for POTUS, signs were free.
I think many rational people will agree that the looting and burning are NOT acceptable and that these cockroaches should have been squashed from the get go. But there were other politics afoot on both sides.
But to put this into perspective, you are literally defending putting razor blades on a yard sign. And these asinine arguments is exactly why extremists on both sides cannot be taken seriously.
Now, had the red hat snowflakes come out and denounced putting razor blades on dear leader's sign, then yeah there's a decent conversation to be had about the state of the crazies on both sides. But so far all I'm seeing is people not understanding how law and order works and literally making excuses on why it's acceptable to put razor blades on a tacky yard sign.
So concerned about "human life" when it comes to abortion but no so concerned if a kid (or anyone) happened to touch the almighty, tacky sign.
I didn’t defend anything! I just pointed out the hypocrisy of some of you people. Read my posts and come back and tell me where I defended this.
And is having another home handy when left-wing thugs burn your home down also a simple solution?
The fact that you lefties have a cow over a man cutting his hand on a Trump sign and couldn't give a **** less if folks lose their homes, businesses, and sometimes lives to leftist revolutionaries really says a lot about you.
Exactly! That’s the point I was making earlier. “Oh my God, someone’s hand got cut by razor blades, the horror!” “People were killed, raped, businesses were looted and burned, statues were pulled down, cops were maimed and shot at-nothing to see here. Move along everyone”. Disgusting.

I believe the enormous majority of the public condemns both things. Burning and looting, and booby trapping a cheap cardboard sign in the hopes of injuring someone seriously, and inadvertently seriously injuring a city employee.
For almost ALL of us, it's not either or. Most of us are appalled by ALL the violence and destruction and hate, on both sides.
MOST of us don't cheer when looters burn down businesses, block roadways, threaten pedestrians, and we don't cheer when some jerk purposely injures a code enforcement worker.
