Define 'Bandit' (Read 1314 times)

The whole "public roads" thing is kinda silly. Police have the power to close public roads, whether for construction, security, or special events. If you're on a closed road in violation of the terms of the closure permit, then you're subject to a fine (and possible arrest if you fail to heed a police directive to vacate). Closing a public road isn't especially difficult. Here's the permit application for Chicago. Its a 2-page form, and it'll cost you $35 dollars to apply. All I ask is that you please don't close the road in front of my house when I need to go to the grocery store. Otherwise, have at it.

The fact you read the responses as having a sanctimonious tone really says more about you than about just about everyone else in the thread.

You mean that sometimes the way in which I take a post is sometimes different from the intent and attitude of the poster???

If you don't like the way the city government is exercising their power, then vote for a different mayor, alderman or city counsel, who will replace the commissioner of public safety, who will send a memo to the department of road management, who will change the regulations for road closure permits, that the police enforce. Duh.

Or you can complain on a public forum hoping you feel better after writing it. Whatever works.
