Things vary widely by area, and who it is that's making the decisions.
I had a bit of a LARGE issue back in the early 90's...somebody that had
a badge and
a patrol car was a bit of non-friendly...still haven't met the guy, I
eventually moved.
I was told that he took a petition with 318 signatures downtown, and
*shook* it at
them. But, OTOH, he would NOT give it to them. I have to wonder *why*.
I'm not going to say any more, because that would be conjecture, and
the SOB might
sue me...
I WON, it was a "test case".....and he couldn't even see my house from his.

ex N4MBL
ex WD4CRP
(I probably couldn't really afford a lawyer right now, but I was making
almost nothing at the
time... and I STILL prevailed...sometimes good things happen...PRB-1 was
in effect at the time, too,
and people thought maybe some people downtown should have gone to bat
for me... not so...t'was
just MY problem...)
