(Brighton, Michigan) This week, annoying behavior was outlawed by the Brighton City Council. A city ordinance was passed which mandates the ticketing and fining of any annoying person. To wit:
"It shall be unlawful for any person in the city to insult, accost, molest or otherwise annoy, either by word of mouth, sign or motions any person in any public place."Oddly, City Manager Dana Foster said it would be okay for someone to be annoying for the sake of just being annoying. The ordinance, he said, is "aimed at those who interfere in public areas."
"It shall be unlawful for a person to engage in a course of conduct or repeatedly commit acts that alarm or seriously annoy another person and that serve no legitimate purpose."
Violators can be fined up to $100. The law takes effect January 2.
By the way, I get seriously annoyed by politicians making stupid laws. Someone should ticket the entire group of mush-brains on the Brighton City Council.
