Family Threatened With Government Fine For Parking Cars in Their Own Driveway

Agenda 21-style ordinance restricts homeowners to two cars in the name of “conservation”

Government officials in Cobb County, Georgia are threatening a family with a fine for parking too many cars in their own driveway.

The Oviedo family were hit with the violation notice after local bureaucrats acted on an anonymous complaint that there were four cars parked on the property. Local ordinance rules which were recently changed mandate that a maximum of two cars be parked at any one time.

The family has relatives visiting and their two kids are home from college, but this explanation wasn’t enough to prevent them getting a visit from code enforcement officials last week.

“I am angry. I am beyond angry. I don’t see how the government can tell me whose cars I can park in my own driveway,” Kim Oviedo told WSB-TV 2.

Cars

After the story was covered by local news media, county officials decided to allow the infraction to slide for now, but they have warned the family that fines will be imposed next summer unless the family obtains an expensive permit to park four cars on the driveway.

“The fact that my kid’s home from college and now I’m a law breaker I guess,” said neighbor Mark Talley, who also has three cars parked on his driveway.

Officials stress that the rules are based on “conservation,” a nod to draconian Agenda 21-style mandates which local governments are imposing in line with United Nations recommendations based on environmental sustainability, rules which in many cases threaten to violate property rights.

Earlier this year, lawmakers in Texas introduced legislation in an effort to prevent local legislatures from participating in the scheme, with GOP State Senator Bob Hall speaking of the necessity to target “city organizations and cities that are adapting the UN programs.”

The enforcement of petty and unreasonable ordinance codes by local authorities is often a sore point for Americans who simply wish to be left alone.

Back in April, we reported on a Utah family that was ordered to dismantle a temporary cardboard castle that a father had built for his kids in his own front yard.

A little info for the Aviedo family, when you allow your government absolute power to take away the rights of those with whom you disagree, its just a matter of time before that same government comes to take away your rights!

A little note... I have not seen one person stand up against STOP and FRISK. This includes JUDGES, POLITICIANS, MAYORS, GOVERNORS, COUNTY PARK PEOPLE... I'm just going down a list that is too long... You don't have the time to read it, I don't have the time to print it.

We have this document called the constitution... I am amazed when sheep call it a "PESKY" "OUT OF DATE" idea about the way to allow freedom...

The other way... kingdoms, tyranny, hatred, and death.

You should see Boise ID. They don't have zoning. It's not as bad as you'd think actually but there are a few humorous juxtapositions. What they have in their favor is that you have to make a sort of commitment to live there so while there are lots of hard heads there are not so many lazy asses! 8)
