Victory release: ij.org/press-release/federal-...
Pagedale specifically budgets to receive a large percentage of its revenue from fines and fees. By targeting a certain amount of revenue from fines and fees from its residents, Pagedale turns policing on its head. Rather than react to conditions to ensure that the public is protected and wrongdoers punished, Pagedale sets a revenue goal and then uses its code enforcement powers to achieve it.

Ironic that the bushes in front of city hall were more than three feet tall and even blocked the sign on the building. Who gets a ticket for that?
The gardener😢
The taxpayer apparently.
Don't give them any idea's, that would be perfect set up , we pay city fines with Public money ,self financing
Wonder if any one on that council has received fines. They are making a problem worse...those poor people living through a city wide out of control home owners association- esque nightmare!
Don't pay the fines cause a riot get national attention seems like the only way to get stuff done anymore
WHY AREN'T THEY REMOVING THESE CLOWNS FROM OFFICE.

ever side is the same they all want money the people who have money can make the law's people in power have money and can make the law's
It's like an HOA for the whole city. What a nightmare
I was thinking it sounds like an HOA.
HOAs are gangster organizations and it is one of my missions to at least push the needle closer to making them illegal under any circumstance. Few people hate the very concept of HOAs more than me.
Here's the thing- it's not so bad to have a non-enforceable non-mandatory group which solicits of voluntary contributions from residents towards the common areas, but the moment they dare step over someone's property line and issue commands or demands that is where they should have absolutely zero legal standing because that is a crime!!!!! WHAT YOU DO ON YOUR PROPERTY OR HOW YOU DECORATE IT IS YOUR BUSINESS!! IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE WITH ANYONE ELSE'S APPROVAL. HOAs ARENT GOVT AND THEY HAVE *NO* MORAL OR JUSTIFIABLE RIGHT TO TELL YOU WHAT TO DO ON YOUR PROPERTY OR HOW TO MAINTAIN IT. THAT'S FOR THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT TO SAY. HOAs ARE PRIVATE ORGANIZATIONS ERGO THEY HAVE NO POWER OF ENFORCEMENT, AND NO POWER OF DEMAND. THEY ARE EMPTY WORTHLESS ENTITIES. HOAs ARE ACTING LIKE STATE ACTORS AND THAT IS WHERE PEOPLE NEED TO CHALLENGE THEM UP TO EVERY STATE'S SUPREME COURT!!
HOAs ARE CRIMINAL.
Wow. This is insane. Glad they won the case, but it still left a lot of people in financial hardship and I'm sure there was no compensation paid.
I’m glad the people won the lawsuit. Now they should force the city to pay off that lady’s loans for the ridiculous fines.
It sounds like a whole lot of people have damages coming to them. From the looks of this video half the town or more deserve restitution for having had their lives made miserable for a long time. When you buy a home you don't expect to live as if you're in an army barracks subject to constant intrusive inspections.
When ever a city pays for a wrong doing they pay with your money, tax money that is.
@@bonouknow6265 there's no way around that but every city official connected to this travesty should take a hefty pay cut till every wronged resident is made whole. The well-off who probably weren't much inconvenienced by these ordinances were just as responsible as anyone else for electing this city government and if the taxes raised to compensate the victims were weighted/selected to cost them more that would be fair. I know that isn't how these things usually work out but just sayin'.
@@dontaylor7315 ~ The voters can change what is wrong with the government. Problems arise when national newz minimally present the WRONG done by those elected to PROTECT & SERVE. And the sheeples are easily misled.
@@bonouknow6265 which brings us back to greed and the root of most social/political evils, corporate ownership of government and media at the national level and, at the microcosmic level, local corruption like the racket being run in this video. I wonder if the victims most harmed by these ordinances even vote. If not, they'd better start. I often say: You don't do politics? Then politics is doing you.

Um, sir, from now on I'm saluting the uniform.
How nice of the police to give them permission to be on public property.
Cops on the take as well
As a Missouri resident, THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS! It's obviously illegal and the city council needs to be subject to court action, fines, imprisonment.
Just an update for those who are outraged...

They're squeezing every penny out of these people until they finally squeeze them right out of their house and town. I hope Institute for Justice gets them just that - justice. These people (City/Code Enforcement) are without heart or soul.

The joke of American freedom that so many soldiers died for.
@Joey Davies How stupid are you?
Soldiers are sent to protect and increase profits of the wealthy and powerful, that's it. They're told otherwise, but it's a lie.

They should hang every last public official in that place & leave their carcasses hanging in the center of town as a warning to any future would be tyrants. What the hell is wrong with people, just stand around and take being treated like that?
Civil organized crime.

Sounds like Jim Crow. I have seen this kind of nonsense all over the South, any "open container' outdoors is illegal, even in your back yard. When I lived in Orlando friends lived in an apt complex that was patrolled by police with dogs and they would arrest people for having a drink on their patio. I went out and they screamed and dragged me back in, its kind of crazy how they try to get you to fear the police state.
Telling me I cannot grill a 🍔 with a beer on my hand on MY PROPERTY!!! Not going to end well FOR YOU MR MAN!!!

This story just boils my blood!
Correction. Revenue is not used to fund the city, it's used to fund their personal lives.
This needs to go to the Supreme Court, and every single person that lost money, or did time in jail/prison (which shows on a permanent record) due to this absolute stupidity, needs to get refunded down to the very last cent, and full expungement of all charges. This is absolutely ridiculous. You might as well live in a hybrid North Korea dictatorship, in the "land of the free"-- which seems to become less and less true every day.
Even the supreme court is corrupt.
Refunded 10x
Malia Kapner
It’s these rediculous laws that threaten out liberty!
They should also get interest on that money, like the 100% interest the city was charging them.
I'd also award them extra besides a refund at this point, the ones who went to jail should be awarded some kinda compensation.

I'm not one to be pushed around. One fine to me, I doubt I would attend the mayors or police chiefs funeral. If the next mayor tried this shit, then I'd buckle down and get serious. Sooner or later city hall would wake up.
“Jaildale” - that’s a winner.
Or, Hell Town, or Naziville......
Paysdale
That's like that other town where the guy left the state for a funeral and they fined him $500 a day for having his grass to long.
It's ridiculous to learn the US is so corrupt on every level of government.
I have blinds & curtains in rooms based on the interior design of my home. My dining room has curtains that match the accent wall and the table cloth.
The notion that I would have to alter the interior design of my home that I own because a city said so is beyond conscionable.
I saw that too, almost $25K total, insane!!!
Stop voting democrats
That town is run by a Democrat. If people want things to change, don't vote Democrat.
That happens in a lot of towns these days. In the town where I live.. there was a resident that had to go in the hospital due to cancer. When he was released from the hospital about a week later and came home, 2 police officers came over to his house and wrote him a ticket for his grass being too tall. So the resident whom had terminal cancer, went outside and mowed his yard with the pushmower. After he finished mowing his yard, the 2 police officers returned and wrote him a 2nd ticket because his lawnmower blew grass clippings on the street while he mowed the yard. His tickets were expensive, $100 ticket because his yard wasn't mowed for a week & another $100 ticket for the grass clippings in the street. It's crazy.. cops do nothing but write tickets all day for anything they can think of. Whenever there's a real crime such as a burglary or anything.. cops rarely show up or they wait till about a day later to do a report because they are too busy writing tickets to generate revenue.
@James B Right, it's a Democrat issue and would never happen with the Good Ol' Party. Honestly, that's just a corruption problem where party affiliation it's pretty much irrelevant. Why is this shit legal to begin with, though?
Hi Institute for Justice. This story is so much like the situation my neighborhood has been subjected to for probably about the same timeframe that it threw me against the brick foundation of my soul when she was talking about knowing it would be bad, but the potential in the house seemed greater at the time and that she deserves a good starter home just like everyone else has for as long as anyone around these days can remember.
She absolutely deserves to buy whatever home she sees fit for all the same reasons any other human being does. It's her RIGHT.
I sent your organization an email about 20 minutes ago with a brief rundown of what myself and most of the neighborhood are experiencing, with many folks already given up any hope of being taken seriously that what is happening to all of us is ever going to amount to anything more than a hill of beans.
When that happens you need to contact the Justice Department in your state.

Icahn has to create multiple laws because if they don't create laws people won't break them and they won't generate revenue it's a scam and it's legal according to the eyes of the municipality they should be ashamed of themselves
So why haven't they voted out their city council, mayor and everyone else in the city government.
They thought it was only happening to themselves.
This is absolutely ridiculous and needs to stop immediately.
It has, if you see the link above in the descrption they wont he case and the laws were scrapped. Though why the entire city council and police department aren't up on extortion charges is beyond me.

Yup. Sounds like racketeering to me.
this is not uncommon in a lot of small towns. in germantown tn there are similar laws and the idea is to prevent what they call clutter. everything, even gas stations must be color matching. many think its an attempt to prevent low income home owners.

There's not much difference between HOAs and local zoning\ building boards. Both are beaurocratic and severely restrict people's rights to do what they want with their own property and charge wannabe homeowners fees for the privilege of living in their own homes. Just about the only difference between HOAs and local zoning boards is every neighborhood has the latter, but not ever neighborhood has the former.

That's the problem , The American Dream is only a dream.
The American Dream Died in the 40s and 50s!
Business doesn't grow at a rate proportionate to the population growth because of taxes and over regulation therefore not enough jobs,not enough jobs mean wages stay low,low wages means the population doesn't have enough money for any part of the American Dream.
Households become dual income which leads to kids being exposed to outside influences more at a younger age by being in daycare. Marriage falls apart at this point just haven a functional family is a dream.
This didn't just happen,it was orchestrated as a way to brainwash and enslave the American people.
We now fear each other more then ever and because of this we can never unite to change our own government.

Finally, I've run into people who think and do like me which I consider them Patriots. I thought I was the ONLY man in America with balls enough to do the right thing. I've lived my entire life since returning from Viet Nam with the attitude and philosophy to never start trouble but NEVER walkaway from it either. Right is right and wrong is wrong. Nice gets nice and not nice gets horror. I lost the human sense of fear and developed a don't give a shit attitude while killing commies in Viet Nam. I'm not saying that I haven't run into problems and even trouble of all kinds in my life, from time to time, but I am going out as even as I can possibly be under the circumstances. When people know you are deadly serious when you tell them that you will always get out to get even that gives even the FBI cause to think about going home that night. When they think you are an insane combat veteran who just wants to be left alone and doesn't ever go out of his way to start or cause trouble then they start thinking about never seeing their family again. Home for me is with my childhood friends and buddies who never came home including those who have died since returning from Agent Orange. Dying in a senseless, meaningless, stupid war that had no meaning while your country hated and despised me and those who returned must be revenged on its face. Fuck with me and I will get even no matter what until I am dead. That is the ONLY way the Constitution is MADE to work. No one gets out alive so live right or go out as a coward.

Actually the mayor who is also the head of the housing commission had the police chief fired. Cited reasons? She did not know where he was and thought he spent too much time helping kids than enforcing laws. IE she never went to the police station to see he was in his office. And didn't care he was keeping kids from getting into trouble. But needed him writing more tickets to evict citizens. Check a few other articles. This mayor and her council sound crooked to the core. They don't care if a house has plumbing or electricity. It must look good on the outside. 'Nuisance' appearances may result in demolition.

Milo Rightfully so, but America is out of control. The masses are taught to fear authorities so control can be kept. I'm sure you've seen the upheaval in the states through your sources.
Same in Bay Area in CA. Yep. It's there too, but not extreme like your Town. Not ok!
@@Soul_Alpha I do like to keep up with what's going on over your side of the water. Trust me the situation isn't much better over here in Britain, different problems, different solutions but the same end, the little man gets fucked
That's bureaucracy for ya
Follow the Money, let's see what these fines are being spent on. In cases where there is corruption at the bottom, it usually runs all the way to the top and the judge seemed nervous.
I went to Anadarko OK to visit my grandmother. I stopped and discussed with my friends if we should go see my grandmother or go to Indian City YES first while stopped at a stop sign. As soon as I drove through the intersection, I was red lighted by a cop who came out of a parking lot. I was given a huge ticket ($70+). I went to fight the ticket surprising the cop when I showed up with 3 people who had been with me in my car. He called all of us liars in court. The judge the asked the cop how many tickets he had written to people at the same intersection in total for the year and to whom (I didn't know it , but my grandmother knew the judge and had asked him to look into this before he ruled against me). The cop had written hundreds of these tickets, All to people with tags that were from other counties (plates in OK then showed the county abreviation for the county of origin) or to tags from other States. The cop was told to report to the Chief of police who was waiting to fire him and he fired for his ticketing practice. He never thought he would get caught because people never came back, they just paid the ticket. The city then reviewed all of these tickets ( he never wrote tickets to in-county residents or at any other location). Some people were refunded the cost of their tickets as I was later told. I was found to have stopped and the ticket was thrown out and the judge thanked me for bringing this practice to light. This cop was one of several officers who did this routinely.
Nightmare.... is this controlled by an HOA? My mom lives in a neighborhood with an Hoa... she got a 48 hour warning to remove from her front door an expensive wreath she bought off of QVC because it was “ tacky”...🤦♀️... the “ taste police” were working overtime.
Seems like a good place to host a million biker jamboree!
Let's hit 30 and try to rack up speeding tickets on bike
Sounds like it would be a gas to tear up the city hall with them in it!
This town is doing wtf they want and EVERY political official from mayor and their lawyers needs to be held on extortion charges in clouding the police.
This happens in every municipality, you just pay the fine and move on, it's to much of a hassle to fight. I got hit with $174 for not checking the right box on a property tax form. Once corrected the fine still stands.
And the pain and suffering she should be also receiving back that's absolutely ridiculous and the ones that did it to her they should be held accountable and fined
you have a dog -> FINE
you breath -> FINE
You don't have a fine? -> initiation FINE given
Francisco Dumont Duvauchelle breathe*

Francisco Dumont Duvauchelle hilarious
@@WelcometotheNHK. beans public correction....$500
U were born..FINE🤣😬
Absolute Insanity!!!! So we’re supposed to be free, right?! What a joke
THANK YOU FOR DOING WHAT YOU'RE DOING SIR, I APPRECIATE YOU!!!
People who make these kind of laws should be put in front of the firing squad.
rather, should be fined for life, and made to live the life they force on others.
Democrats
Republicans
White People
Now, that is not what Jesus would do. And those people who let them take their money are just dumb. MOST people would know that a fine for your curtains is not real. They should have not responded. and when they got arrested for not having matching curtains, they would have reason to press charges for harassment. The new police brutality- arresting people for having a bushes too tall and a crack in the walkpath!!! OH THE HORRORS
You do not need the cop's permission to film on public property. Suprised they were not ticketed for just being there, like loitering or something.
God bless the institute for justice. They're doing work that is key to the upholding of our Republic.
I'm familiar with HOA covenants that control such things as the color of window blinds but I've never heard of a municipality that had such requirements.
You know how we pronounce Missouri? “Misery”
I spell it "fucked." City council has too much incestrial blood.
All the states around it for sure sure do.
