Having had recent experience with low quality citations, I relate to this.

Celso Perez was helping his neighbors remove some fallen trees blocking their street when a county code enforcer rolled up and issued him a safety notice for having a downed fence. "I laughed," Perez tells WSVN-TV. "I thought he was kidding. 'You are kidding right? We just had a hurricane six hours ago.'"
It wasn't a joke. The official told Perez that the downed fence—which encloses a pool—was a safety hazard, and that if it wasn't fixed by the time he returned, Perez would be hit with a fine. The official then hung the safety citation on the portion of Perez's fence that remained standing, leaving him and his neighbors to finish clearing the debris from their street.
Lucky I wasn't there.  Best case for that "enforcer":  Tar/feathers

    1. Reminds me of a song, "Alligator bait in the Louisiana Bayou.." (Jerry Reed, singing Amos Moses was a Cajun.)

    2. The everglades are not that far away and marshmallows are cheap (marshmallows are like crack cocaine to a gator - they go into a feeding frenzy).

    3. "marshmallows are like crack cocaine to a gator - they go into a feeding frenzy" Useful bit of info now tucked safely away into the old brain, and ready to use when in gator country.

  2. It would never stand in court if they show up to fight it. Hopefully, the guy will lose his job over it when a bunch of bogus tickets start rolling in.
