City Ordinances Vs. Private Property Rights – Should the Government Dictate the Use Of Your Property?

The following video was shared with the CopBlock Network anonymously, via the CopBlock.org Submissions Page.

In the video, the person submitting it discusses notices they received from the Angleton City (TX) Code Enforcement Department regarding city ordinances relating to the height of their grass and vehicles they have parked at their house. According to those ordinances, they are in violation because their grass is higher than fourteen inches and the vehicle(s) are not currently registered and are considered to be “junk vehicles,” as a result.

Twenty one years of living in the same house in Angleton, TX. Being told I have to cut my yard to under 14″ and “get rid of” inoperable vehicles on my property. The video covers it mostly, and has my reasoning behind why I find this unconstitutional and a violation of my rights as a born citizen of the United States of America.

I plan on fighting this. After paying taxes and being a good citizen since 1996, I will not be pushed around and controlled by local government. Thanks guys, I hope I can shed some light on this. If we sit around and not stand up to this kind of thing, they’ll just kick everyone they don’t like out of the city.
