How is the registry not punishment again? Especially since he’s considered a “low risk”? And i do believe the chief cannot refused to be placed on camera… it’s a tax payer funded position and this is a community issue at this point, the news media was trying to cover this issue.

The landlord is doing the right thing by fighting back, glad to see that.

$2,000 a day every day the tenant lives on the property. Here is the real reason to have the ordinance. Revenue enhancement. Who else but a registrant gets fined for simply existing at a place others are allowed.
