    I wish police would simply enforce noise ordinances

    I live next to a catholic church/school and sometimes on the weekend or near sunset a local kid rides his motocross bike all around the church yard. Annoying as fuck and it chews up the yard and everything. I’ve called the cops three or four times but they’ve never bothered to send an officer out. I called the church and all they did was install a bunch of super-bright LED lights which are on 24 hours a day. Kid still rides his bike there and now I can’t sit outside at night anymore because of the fucking lights.

      Where I live, the police would need the authorization of the church to enforce trespassing on their private property, so if the kid is waiting until there’s no one at the church, he pretty much gets a free ticket until a bunch of hoops are jumped through.

      Gather up your neighbors and have them come and strategically park their cars on the church yard, physically blocking the kid’s path. If he can trespass, so can you.
