So does that mean that if you are in the rest of the state and not on probation or parole you can participate in Halloween at your home?
Probably, but even if we were lawyers it is doubtful we would know all the laws in all the counties and cities. If you aren’t told you have restrictions I would assume you do not, but check you local papers and see if they say there are restrictions.
My son has these restrictions in No.Cal, and while it isn’t worth arguing for one night of the year, we’re told this is a DOJ rule, not a city or county rule. What are others being told???
This is so clearly balant punishment in the form of public shaming that I am amazed in a free society which the USofA professes to be that this sort of stupidity and abuse of power is allowed!
Fight about transgender bathrooms and the kneeling during the sacred Star Spangled Banner…what year is this? When did the constitution become a forgotten old relic? I THOUGHT it was still the law of the land…
“Simi Valley Police Chief Dave Livingstone says the city has never enforced the 2012 ordinance.” Therefore, the ordinance remains on the books merely for selective enforcement and persecution?? Livingstone further states that they sent out notification of the ordinance to all registrants but “no threat of arrest was ever given.” Seriously??!! When you are a Registered Citizen and you receive a notice from the Police Department, that is certainly an implied threat of arrest! It’s not a greeting card from Hallmark!
Oh wow. Surreal. This is about the most retarded law I’ve ever heard of!
