Tickets For Being Annoying? LOL

This has to be the most ridiculously hilarious waste of tax-payers money I've ever seen. I wonder if it's actually real or not. Here's the story.

BRIGHTON, Mich. — Ticking someone off could get you a ticket in one Michigan city. The Brighton City Council on Thursday approved an ordinance allowing police in the Livingston County community to ticket and fine anyone who is annoying in public "by word of mouth, sign or motions."

The Livingston County Daily Press & Argus of Howell reports the measure is modeled on a similar ordinance in the Detroit suburb of Royal Oak.

A city attorney says there could be situations where the measure would violate freedom of speech, but that those cases will be reviewed by the city.

The ban takes effect Jan. 2.

Though it is quite amusing. Bet cops will have fun with this law, as well as abuse it.

Opinions?

Easily abused law that's rather silly

Lol, that IS pretty humorous... XP

I wouldn't know what to say. I can be quite annoying at times, too. Although I'm just plain crazy and weird most of the time, even in publicity. This is a funny rule, and I'm sure police WILL most likely abuse it. P:

And, if it is a joke, wow... nice. xD

This sounds more like something that would be done on the onion news network then an actual law.

Of all places to enact such a stupid law, it had to be in my area of residence. Or at least not too far away from it.

Ooh, sorry 'bout that. Good luck with that. I doubt it will last, but geeze, the fact that it even went through to becoming a law.... right over my head on that one.

Oh wow, I'm so glad they've not decided to do that over here or I would've been fined to bankruptcy by now. oO'
