"A regular gathering of more than three people" is cause for a $300 fine? Excuse me? Is this America? Is this freedom? You have to have a freaking permit to meet regularly with more than three people? Do family dinners count?Homeowners Chuck and Stephanie Fromm, of San Juan Capistrano, were fined $300 earlier this month for holding what city officials called “a regular gathering of more than three people”.That type of meeting would require a conditional use permit as defined by the city, according to Pacific Justice Institute (PJI), the couple’s legal representation.
We don't think about stuff like this and when we find out about it, we think it sounds utterly ridiculous. But this is the country we've created. We did this. And now we have to fix it. Our liberty will perish by a thousand little regulations and ordinances such as this one. We elect people to office and then turn our backs because we don't want to be responsible or aware of how the sausage is made. But we must be ever vigilant against this type of thing because this is what people in power do. Unfortunately, this kind of law isn't how it begins; it's how it ends. Good luck.
