thefreethoughtproject.com/woma… Land of the Free? Woman Sentenced to Jail Time for Having a Messy Yard

This is just one more example of how America is becoming less free, and more of a police state.  Americans are having to work more, and more, just to make ends meet.  This leaves less time for things such as maintaining your own personal property.

So, along comes an American governmental agency, the ultimate American home owners association, with the police to enforce their dictates

I am outraged enough just because they can dictate to people who own their own property how, and when, it must be maintained, but will back it up with real jail time?  Tell me again how this is still "the Land of the Free".


“[The bushes and trees] were overgrown. But that’s certainly not a criminal offense,” Holloway tells Local 8 News.

“It’s not right,” she said. “Why would you put me in jail with child molesters, and people who’ve done real crimes, because I haven’t maintained my yard.”

She says she was never read her rights nor told she could have a lawyer present.

“I feel like I’m being bullied,” she said.

Did you see the piks?

The house appears vacant it's so under managed.
It looks derelict.

Cleaning the gutters and trimming the bushes
isn't a full time commitment.
Looking at the one image, it's clear they
have done zero maintenance in 5+ years.

If the house is that bad looking and neighbors
file complaints the State probably can act.

I live in an area with 'beauty' laws in effect.
I can be fined for having my grass too high.

It's all about protecting property values and
the appeal of the neighborhood.
