I often wondered how an incorporated municipality (town or city) can arbitrarily create "ordinances" and then legally enforce them.
Incorporated Municiple ordinances are not law even if they read the same as a state statute.
An ordinance might read, if the grass on a lawn within the Town limits exceeds 6 inches in growth, the renter or owner of said property will be subject to a fine of $500 and $59 a day until the lawn is maintained according to City ordinance 173.2.
I understand that as a resident or a traveler within any one of the 50 states of the union that that person is subject to the Constitution of that State and its statutes, which where duly written, debated on and voted in by the "Law Makers" we call Congressmen and Senators. But a corporately owned territory, with it's own privately owned enforcement units, have no Constitutional basis for arrest, detainment, issuance of fines or confiscation of property.
The only constitutionally provided "Statute" Enforcement agency within any given state is the County Sheriff and his deputies. Sheriff is an office of the state that lies directly under the Governor. Each county within a state has one top dog and that is Sheriff, an office that is decided by the voters of said county.
Someone please explain to me how this tyranny of corporately owned cops in every village, enforcing corporate ordinances, is allowed by the real courts and tolerated by "we the people"!
