>I go to local farmer's markets. There are signs everywhere, "No Pets". No one is obeying this law. Literally no one. WTF do they have the signs? All non-enforcement does is bread contempt for laws in general. Either enforce it or remove the signs.
I think this is just health code where the law is forcing them to put up these signs but nobody actually cares if there's dogs there, it's not really needed to ban dogs there, and the only people who want to enforce that rule are people who really like rules.
- IAmBroom 1y ago> the only people who want to enforce that rule are people who really like rules. Which literally seems to describe socalgal2.
- socalgal2 1y agoIf they're not going to enforce it I want them to remove the sign! Why is that controversial? and, ideally make it legal to bring your pet? Maybe we should just ignore all signs? "No Tresspassing", "Employees Only", "No Parking", "No Stopping", "No Dumping", "No Fishing", "STOP", "Do Not Enter", "One Way"
- fc417fc802 1y agoI agree with the sentiment and think we don't do enough that way. However, sometimes laws (rules in general really) exist for broader reasons and there are edge cases where they don't make sense. In practice carving out every last edge case would be quite difficult and time consuming. There's a park that closes at dusk. I walk my dog through it in the early morning hours unless I happen to see police hanging around. What's the alternative? The local residents clearly don't want people partying or sleeping in the park at night due to the crime that would invite in nearby areas. No one cares if I walk my dog through it. I doubt I'd be successful if I tried to effect change. What new wording would I even propose?
