Return to “Whole Foods in Lakewood (Dallas)-unenforceable 30.06”
You know how much an appeal costs?AlgoaAggie91 wrote:Pretty sure that's why there is an appeals process...Judges and juries always rule by the letter of the law. They never make decisions based on their own interpretation of what they believe to be the intent of the law or what they feel the law should be. (Sarcasm off)

Look I don't want to be absolutist here because anything can happen but if the law says the letters have to be an inch high and they are not an inch high then you won't be prosecuted under 30.06. Why? Because they would lose rather embarrassingly or, if there was some court with a judge that far gone to allow a conviction, it would be overturned on appeal. The language is pretty clear and while you can argue about what colors are contrasting it's hard to argue that 3/4 of an inch is an inch. A DA would have to be a blithering idiot to charge under such conditions. Heck even most blithering idiots would know better. These are cases where they bully you into taking a plea or drop it at the last min if you refuse. They wouldn't take it to trial so .......chamberc wrote:Can you provide the case where this occurred? Our interpretation of the law doesn't make for case law, usually.

I also noticed that one of the doors pictured above have two opposing signs regarding the same issue...
We kind of do. If the sign does not meet the specs then the case will either be dropped or thrown out even if you get arrested.
